While she does business in all types of Real Estate, she confesses a real love and appreciation of historic homes (especially those bungalows). She’s been around Real Estate her entire life, first working in high school and college with her father in his real estate and development office in California where he developed property and sold wineries to the likes of the Smothers Brothers. Over the de

cades she bought and sold numerous properties of her own. After landing in Chicago a few years ago she got her license in Illinois, and enjoys the constantly changing challenges of taking exceptional care of her clients. Her strengths of problem solving and nurturing are well suited to making her a strong agent for her clients. Over the years, Kate has run a small design business and worked along side her late husband in their construction business. This allows her to bring some unique insights to her clients in terms of vision for either staging their home for sale, or the possibilities of homes the are considering purchasing.

She has three grown daughters, was married for 29 years, and then divorced. Found a true love later in life, and was widowed. She has moved 11 times as an adult, and 7 times while growing up.
