Why did you get into real estate?

Previously I was a Financial Advisor for American Express looking to make a career change. Based on my 18 years of experience with helping people and companies invest their money for the short and long term I felt this would be a great new career to help buyers invest in an asset they would be living in no matter what stage of their life. I aim to give them all the information they need to make their decision, including showing them other homes that sold in the community they are about to move into, the schools, Purdue, industries and businesses they may be able to use, the arts and theatre, parks and recreation, and much more to make them feel welcome in our great cities. I have been doing this now for 10 years and continue to learn new things and enjoy helping people with all their real estate needs.

What is your favorite part of being a real estate agent?

Meeting people and working with them whether they are buyers or sellers and finding out what is important to them. Once we are on the same page finding that house that, when they open the door, they know this is the one. For the seller it’s giving advice on how to prepare their home for the market. When they listen and implement what I have told them, then marketing their home and seeing it sell perhaps in a shorter time than not being prepared. Having my clients call me when they need to sell their home because of life changes…such as needing a larger or smaller home or because of career advances in another city.

What advice do you have for first-time home buyers?

Many first-time home buyers need to remember that this is their “first” home but may not be their last one. You may not get everything you want the first time around, but you need to be investment smart, knowing someday you will want to sell and move to your next home. Know that you can make this a memorable chapter in your life and others will follow.

What do you do on the weekend, that is, when you’re not hosting an Open House?

I enjoy staying at home in our condo, walking downtown to all the shops and enjoy having dinner with my husband in one of our many wonderful restaurants; catching up on life and watching the world go by. Play more golf. Go to all the theater we have in this great city.

What, other than Real Estate, are you passionate about?

I love cooking, entertaining, golf, and traveling.

What’s the most important advice you would give to someone looking to sell their home?

Prepare your house for the market, don’t just market it. First impressions will be achieved in the first 15 seconds. Give the buyer a reason to buy your house. Landscaping, tidiness, staging are all the things that perhaps will sell your home quicker.

What super power do you wish you had and why?

I would like to be able to be in more than one place at the same time, to have more hours in the day and to have every buyer and seller remember their experience with great memories. The best would be the ability to balance being a realtor as well as a wife, mother, sister, and friend with unquestionable achievement.

Thank you Kathryn!

As always you can find more info on all our agents under the "Agents" tab of our website.

Have a great day!
