Meet Kate

I spent years as a State of Wisconsin probation agent. I learned how to negotiate win-win solutions, advocate for people in high-stakes situations, and serve as a reliable resource for the community.

The experience shaped how I approach real estate today.

I bring the same dedication, patience, and problem-solving skills whether I’m helping someone buy their very first home, guiding a family through downsizing, or managing a property sale.

I was born, raised, and educated right here in the Madison area - it’s where I built my life, my career, and my family.

I take a project manager’s approach for my sellers - managing timelines, coordinating vendors, and making the process as smooth as possible.

For my buyers, I focus on education, helping them understand each step, weighing the pros and cons, and making confident decisions.

My clients know I will communicate openly, advocate fiercely, and stay in touch long after the paperwork is signed.

Over the past decade, I’ve been honored to be part of so many personal milestones. Every story reminds me why I love what I do.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me exploring local neighborhoods, connecting with community members, or enjoying time with my family. Madison is my home, and helping others feel at home here is truly my passion.

I believe real estate is about more than transactions - it’s about relationships.

I know real estate can feel overwhelming and confusing, but it shouldn’t be. I believe the best real estate transactions happen when people and relationships come first.

My promise is simple:

You'll always know what's happening and why.

I communicate openly

Throughout the process, you’ll understand your options, terms, and next steps.

I keep you in the know

When negotiating, coordinating vendors, or reviewing offers, your best interest comes first.

I advocate for you

I'm not in it for the transaction. I’m here long after the paperwork is signed.

i focus on relationships

Whether you’re ready now or a year from now, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

i meet you where you are

This work isn’t just my career, it’s my calling. I’m honored every time someone invites me into their story.

A Little More About Me

I never turn down a walk through the Arboretum or along Lake Wingra.

My perfect morning includes strong coffee and exploring a new Madison spot.

(I used to own a furniture restoration shop in Sun Prairie!)

I’m proudly Irish.

I love restoring old furniture - there’s something special about bringing new life to something with history.

My Madison Life:

-Emily

"Kate was amazing throughout our entire process buying our first home. In a tough market, her realty knowledge helped us find something within a quick timeline. 10/10 recommend Kate for a caring, insightful realtor to help you find a place to call home."

-marge

"Kate made selling our house easy during challenging times in our lives. She was responsive, organized and supportive."

-Sonja

"I have worked with Kate twice now. The first time she found me the perfect condo to purchase. This second time she helped me sell my condo and buy a house. Kate seems to make a lot of connections in the real estate business which helped her find me an off market home to buy. She is very knowledgeable of the home buying process and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. Kate knew what I was looking for in a house and didn’t waste my time with showing me things outside of my budget/wants. I would recommend Kate to anyone looking for a realtor! She is responsive, friendly and great at her job."
