Our homebuying experience with Katy was phenomenal to say the least! We've been in our home for ten months now, and Katy happened to reach out to offer me a happy Father's Day, which was very genuine of her! We got to chatting and got on the topic of us not being overly happy with our current insurance provider. Katy offered to get me in touch with her insurance broker to see if he could strike up a better deal for our family, and sure enough, he did! Thanks to Katy's willingness to help us out nearly a year after she helped us buy our home, we're now about to save almost $2,000 annually by switching carriers. When we bought our house, even though we knew our mortgage was to be sold to another lender, Katy said they would always keep us in the system so that she could help us in the future, and she's already put that into practice by helping us out with our insurance situation. This situation once again highlights the lengths Katy is willing to go for her clients. She always carriers an extremely positive demeanor with her and is very personable in conversation. I'm glad we were able to connect with Katy and her company a year ago, and my family will gladly be utilizing her services in the future!

Katy did a very good job. She helped my brother and his wife and they said she was awesome! I mean she explained everything very good, the walk through and everything was so understandable. I’m very glad she was recommended to us from my brother!

Our homebuying experience was a roller coaster up until the moment we sat down at the closing table. The one bright spot throughout the whole process was Kathryn and her team. She was always available to text or call to discuss the various questions we had, she explained the processes in great detail so we fully understood every document we were receiving, and she was a great cheerleader for us through the rough patches we were experiencing during the process. If the time comes to refinance, we will gladly be coming back to Kathryn for her services, and we extremely urge others to use her for their homebuying needs. We never once felt like we were treated as just another sale, rather Kathryn and the team made us feel like family.
