"Katherine and Lance were the dream team! We had already purchased our new home, winter months were approaching quickly, and to say we were stressed about the timing would be an understatement! They moved at warp speed to get our condo on the market in a meaningful way. Katherine tapped every network through Compass and social media to make sure people were aware of our property in the pre-market. As a result, she had several 'pre-market' showings and within 5 days of being on the market, we had an extremely exciting offer! We landed JUST below our asking price and ABOVE where we ever thought we could sell. Katherine is detail-oriented, providing updates regularly and keeping us in the loop. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and truly could not recommend the Donahue and Greene Team more!" - Joe & Kristen K.

"We cannot recommend Katherine and her team highly enough. From our first interaction with Katherine to signing the paperwork, Katherine has been a consummate professional, knowledgeable insider, and savvy realtor. As newcomers to the area, our knowledge of the various towns in the Greater Boston area could have been higher, and Katherine was able to fully educate us on the pros and cons of each of the surrounding towns and cities. Based on our interests and desires, Katherine made some great recommendations and curated a list of properties that fit our criteria. Katherine is remarkably responsive and never lets a question go unanswered. She seemed available by phone, text, and email at all times of the day and never hesitated to send us listings as they popped up. Katherine accompanied us at almost every open house. She expertly advised us on how each property compared to other properties in the area and what a competitive offer would look like. When we found properties we were interested in, Katherine did not hesitate to contact the listing agent to ensure our offer was at the top of the list. While it was generally a pleasure to work with Katherine for the five months or so it took us to find a home, she outdid herself when it was time to get an offer accepted. Katherine was fast, tenacious, and skilled at balancing the requirements of the listing agent/seller, us, the mortgage team, and the lawyers. Her expertise in getting an offer accepted and all parties on the same page rapidly cannot be overstated. She could communicate with us almost instantaneously regarding every aspect of the deal. She did everything to ensure that every single party involved with the transaction was accomplishing precisely what needed to be done. I slept well every night after our offer was accepted, knowing that Katherine would do all the work to ensure a smooth closing. If you are looking for a realtor in Boston, look no further than Katherine. She knows the market, and she knows how to close a deal. If you want to submit a winning offer, work with Katherine!" - Charles and Christy T.

"We worked with Katherine to sell our house in Weston and move into our new house in Brookline. She was key in our experience navigating the market and identifying and closing our new home, as well as selling our existing home. We really enjoyed Katherine's cheery personality and her ability to seamlessly negotiate in her clients interest. We were able to sell our house in less than a week and had 5 bids on the selling side. She helped us understand the pros and cons of each bid and led the sales process effortlessly. On the buying side, she helped us navigate a very competitive market and was extremely responsive all the way until our close and move-in date. We would recommend Katherine for your home purchase or sales journey. " - Sweta S. and Kunal P.

"Katherine did an excellent job helping us to achieve our goal of purchasing a three bedroom condo in Cambridge within our budget. This was our second time buying a city home and our experience with her was phenomenal - I wish we worked with her when we were first-time buyers. Katherine is organized, proactive, and extremely responsive. She partners with her clients throughout all steps of the buying process including referrals for financing, legal documentation, inspection, etc.  She was able to find us out dream home under budget and under asking, as well as rent out our Beacon Hill property for 17% over asking. Buying a home is one of the biggest investments a person can make and you want a professional who will guide you to success - I would recommend Katherine to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a home." - Lindsey H. and Michael S.

★★★★★
"Katherine made my first time home buying experience enjoyable and stress-free!  I greatly appreciated her expertise and attention to detail, and she kept me updated from start to finish.  She was willing to answer any questions and was a trusted advisor through the whole process.  I would highly recommend Katherine to any of my family and friends, and I would definitely reach out to her again in the future!" - Anna S.

"Katherine was nothing short of remarkable in the 6 months we were lucky enough to spend with her. She was able to navigate an unprecedented seller's market and our (admittedly) highly selective tastes to help ensure we were able to successfully find the best fit for our future. Often driving across the entirety of greater Boston most weekends, Katherine always had our showings pre-planned, property information communicated in advance, and all mortgage, legal, and inspector contacts appropriately coordinated for properties we pursued. Perhaps most notable of all was Katherine's persistence in monitoring an on-again-off-again listing that ended up being our future house -- she was able to schedule a showing and help us submit an offer within hours of it returning to the market. Quite simply, we could not have been happier to have met and worked with Katherine, who proved to not only be an incredible realtor but also an even nicer person." - Jake M. & Anna K.

★★★★★
"Katherine was wonderful from start to beyond finish. She was prompt and responsive to all our twists and turns of the house search and settlement process. We had to do much of our search long distance, and she was wonderful at making the process as easy as possible, and flexible for our needs. She advocated for us throughout and gave us straight talk when needed.  Even after closing, Katherine has been kind and responsive with follow up questions. While we don't plan on moving anytime soon, we hope to find opportunities to work with Katherine in the future." - Heather & Brent D.

★★★★★
"We loved working with Katherine and would absolutely recommend working with her when searching for your home! As first-time buyers, she walked us through the entire process from start to finish, and patiently answered every question we had along the way.  She seemed to always be available to us and was very organized about every step which made us feel very secure throughout.  She listened to what we were looking for and offered valuable insight. Ultimately, her thoughtful strategy of composing our offer for the house we ended up purchasing wound up being the reason that we got the house [out of 13 total offers]!" - Jessica & Daniel G.

I'm very grateful for Katherine's help and was lucky to have her expertise and guidance throughout the entire process. She was able to provide valuable insights to the Boston neighborhoods that we looked at.  What truly set Katherine apart was her commitment to her clients and taking the time to truly understand my needs, preferences, and budget. As the search shifted over the time we worked together, Katherine was quick to adapt and pick up on exactly what I was looking for. In the end, she found me a beautiful property in the South End that is perfect for me!  Katherine's dedication and professionalism made the house-hunting experience successful and enjoyable - I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone seeing a real estate agent in the Boston area!" - Colin P.

Our search was long (6+ months) and Katherine work tirelessly to find us the right home without ever pressuring us to move on a property before we were ready.

"I had a wonderful experience working with Katherine on finding our forever home. As a first time home buyer, there were details I did not know to ask about during walk throughs of the property, and she was very thorough. Not every realtor will show up for inspections, and she even came to measure with me for laundry, etc. Can’t recommend her enough!" - Kathleen M.

I am a first-time homebuyer and Katherine not only answered all my questions but she was able to anticipate and be proactive as it related to my needs. I highly recommend her! We had a few road bumps in the homebuying process, and I am truly happy she was by my side. Katherine is a strong communicator; she has an amazing attitude; and frankly she is phenomenal at her job. It's clear that she truly cares about her clients and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure they get their perfect home. " - Marieljane S.

Katherine is incredibly smart about the current housing market and worked with me to put together a great offer that helped me secure my condo.  The closing went smoothly and it is all because of Katherine's hard work and dedication to making sure I was happy with my purchase. Katherine is an absolute rockstar realtor!" - Annabel R.

★★★★★
"Katherine was a wonderful agent to work with as first time homebuyers.  She made the process incredibly transparent and was available around the clock for even the smallest questions.  You cannot ask for a Realtor who is more enthusiastic, tech savvy, and patient.  Katherine has a great grasp on the wants and needs of first time homebuyers and the experience to handle questions of a sophisticated client.  We look forward to working with Katherine again down the road and are so glad that we contacted her earlier this year. " - Gabe B. & Cassy I.

Katherine answered any questions I had and alleviated the anxiety I had buying out of state. I shouldn't have worried because Katherine made it a breeze and I could not have imagined a smoother process especially buying in a sellers market! I highly recommend Katherine!" - Krystal S.

"Katherine was such a pleasure to work with! She was knowledgable and professional, and we knew we were in great hands. She understood what we were looking for and immediately found us a home that fit our needs and budget (she even showed it to us before it ever hit the market). She was wonderful throughout the buying process and really led the charge in clearing obstacles that came up during the closing process. Through it all, we felt so lucky and grateful to have her on our side. We would 100% recommend Katherine - she is the best!" - Sarah M. & Connor M.

She really looked out for me every step of the way, and I am eternally grateful to her!" - Annabel R.

★★★★★
"Katherine was a joy to work with. She was attentive and focused but not overbearing. She took the time to listen to my wants, needs, hesitations, and thoughts. Katherine made it clear that it was important to her that I move through the home-buying process in a way that worked for me--and that meant a lot to me as a nervous first time home buyer. She answered all of my questions and provided insight and opinions. I am lucky to have met Katherine at an open house and to have connected so well with her. She made buying my first home (in a crazy market) a fun and low-stress process. Thank you, Katherine!" - Genevieve M.
