Professional Goals & Work Standards:

Career:  A lifelong supporter of homeownership and community, Kat is more than a broker — she’s your personal guide through the process of buying or selling a home. With more than 2 decades of experience, Kat strives to deliver the highest standards in full-service real estate to each of her clients, whether they’re entering the market for the first time, searching for a luxury property where they can retire or looking for that strategic investment property. Throughout the buying and selling process, Kat acts as an advocate for her clients, clearly explaining the conditions of the current housing market so they can make the decisions that are right for them. No matter whether you’re buying or selling, Kat brings insight that can guide you toward the perfect home or attract just the right buyers to your listing.

Windermere:  Kat continues to put her clients and their needs first. That’s also why she continues to work with Windermere, where her clients have access to a phenomenal regional and international presence and long-standing relationships and broker networks. Working through Windermere has enhanced her business tremendously with access to many professional alliances helpful in assisting clients throughout the complicated buying and selling process.

Stats by Kat:  Over the recent years, Kat has wanted to further educate her clients, friends, investors & builders with the most up-to-date real estate statistics. So she’s created a blog called Stats by Kat which is composed and emailed weekly. It is also available on her website www.kathowardrealestate.com. With this blog she explains current negotiation strategies, provides tips for buyers, sellers & investors and summarizes the current tempo of the local real estate market. She has also been creating real estate related content for various social media sites such as YouTube, FaceBook, Instagram, TikTok, & LinkedIn.
