"As first time homeowners we really had very little knowledge about the entire process. Kate did a fantastic job helping us navigate the DC real estate market and got us from our first viewing to closing on a great property. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and quickly responded to all our questions. We really trusted Kate and felt that she had our best interests at heart throughout the process. We would highlight recommend Kate to friends and family!" - Nicholas

"Kate helped us find our home while we just arrived in the US and didn’t know anything about the real estate market. Thanks to her the process was fast and smooth and it felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything except signing the documents she would send us.
She is a great listener and understood what kind of houses we were seeking for right away. As a consequence we were able to find our dream home in just a few days.
Thanks again for your help Kate!

"As a first time home buyer, Kate was with me from the beginning to the end of the process and she helped pin point what I was looking for in a home. There were many hurdles we had to overcome and problems on the seller side but Kate never gave up and helped guide me and gave me options with each problem and obstacle. At the end, it was her experience and her constant drive to help me out that I ended up with my dream home which included everything I needed and wanted. I would definitely work with Kate again and recommend her to all who could use her service! Thanks for everything Kate and the team!!" - Mauri

"Catriona Fraser is the most impressive person I have ever encountered in the field of real estate. I was incredibly fortunate to have had Kate as my Realtor. She was central to securing the purchase of the most ideal condo for me in Dupont Circle. From my first interaction with Kate the depth and breadth of her knowledge of the Washington DC market was clear, together with her being completely plugged into the market grid and its movements. Beyond being extraordinarily knowledgeable, I was hugely impressed by Kate’s proactive engagement and swift responsiveness. When it came to the crunch of securing the property that I liked, Kate was truly phenomenal. She had the perfect temperament, and I was left in awe of her professionalism as she went above and beyond in every way. In the case of my offer being accepted, I have no doubt that Kate’s moral integrity played a sizable part in the seller’s agent accepting my bid. It is rare to meet someone of Kate’s caliber. She is the consummate professional, and I recommend her without reservation."

"As first time home buyers, my husband and I were looking for someone who had a high level of expertise in the housing market and an equivalent level of patience as I had a lot of questions. Kate was absolutely fantastic - she was always on top of everything and answered all of our questions very patiently. She even helped out with referrals for contractors for some work we needed to get done. She made an extremely stressful process (buying a home in the DC area for the first time) very smooth! I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her!"
