Happy closing day to the sweetest clients! So excited for Marissa, Aaron, and Madison to start their new lives here in Georgia. I had the best time helping them find home. We’ll hit Marietta square soon !

04/28/2026

We saw 20 houses in 3 days and my out of state buyers picked the perfect place to call their new home in Marietta! We are officially through all contingencies (though it got dicey there for a minute with a low appraisal that was ultimately thrown out) and headed to closing this week!

This home has it all - great schools, huge flat backyard, close to shops and dining, and the MOST natural light! So excited for my clients to make Georgia their home. See you at closing soon 🫶

Corner lot. Historic charm. Walkable to the Square. ✔️

This fully renovated 1910 Marietta home blends timeless character with modern comfort in all the right ways. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, you’ll find 10-foot ceilings, original hardwoods, and a stunning stained-glass window in the primary suite.

The kitchen steals the show with beamed ceilings, oversized windows, and a seamless pass-through to the deck, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The main-level primary also features a clawfoot tub that feels like a nod to the home’s history.

Upstairs, three additional bedrooms share a dual-vanity bath, while thoughtful updates throughout include fresh paint, new appliances, a BlueStar range, tankless water heater, designer lighting, and grasscloth wallcovering.

Outside, enjoy a welcoming front porch and a private backyard, all just steps from Marietta Square. Think farmers markets, local restaurants, festivals, and easy access to the Mountain to River Trail. This one lives as beautifully as it looks.

We’ve got some new faces around here, so I figured it was time for a proper intro 👋

Hi, I’m Kate, Atlanta native, REALTOR®, and your go-to guide for navigating this wild real estate market.

I primarily work with first-time buyers and sellers, which means I’m very familiar with the questions, the nerves, the “wait…what does that even mean?” moments, and all the emotions that come with it. My job is to make sure you feel informed, confident, and actually excited about the process.

I’ve had clients tell me that working with me feels more like working with a friend, and that’s exactly the goal. Buying or selling a home can be stressful, but it shouldn’t feel cold, transactional, or overwhelming. You deserve someone who’s in your corner, keeping it real with you, advocating for you, and making the experience enjoyable along the way.

A little about me:
• Atlanta born and raised and have lived all over from Buckhead to Newnan/Peachtree City, so yes, I have opinions on neighborhoods
• Background in marketing + social media for brands like Coca-Cola, Arby’s, and Cartoon Network
• Negotiation is kind of my thing (ask me how I got my buyers $50K off 👀)
• I will absolutely send you way too many listings and voice notes and make you look at photos of my dogs
• Big believer that the right home is worth waiting for, I want you to buy a house you LOVE not just like

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just have questions and don’t know where to start, my DMs are always open.

Let’s make this process feel a lot less intimidating and a lot more fun.

Yeah I’ll take it. Plus the furniture.

This new listing in Inman Park stopped me in my tracks. Fully renovated and expanded in 2020, blending all the historic charm (originally built in 1907) with clean, modern finishes. It even earned an Excellence in Rehabilitation Award from the Georgia Trust, which says a lot.

You’ve got a dreamy kitchen with a large island and high-end appliances, multiple living spaces including a screen porch + terrace level with a wet bar, and tons of natural light throughout. The layout is super flexible with multiple suite options, plus a bonus space that could be a 4th bedroom, office, or custom closet.

The private garden with a waterfall feels like a hidden oasis, and the attached 2-car garage + gated parking pad is a huge win for Inman Park.

Want to beat me to it?? Send me a DM and let’s go see this beauty!

Lately, I’ve found myself spending a lot of time with clients in these pockets of Atlanta.

I’m an Atlanta native and have lived everywhere from Buckhead and Dunwoody to Athens, Smyrna, Newnan, and Peachtree City, so I know this city from a lot of different angles.

Even if your search isn’t in one of these exact spots, I work with clients all across the metro area (and up to about an hour out).

Curious if I can help in your area? Just send me a message.

Don’t underestimate the power of the 2/1! 🏡 Small but so cute and packed with charm.

Welcome to Ormewood Park, just 3 blocks from the BeltLine and close to all your favorite spots. This classic 4-sided brick home has the best mix of character and updates, with hardwoods, arched doorways, and a bright, inviting layout.

The screened-in porch and large private backyard make it feel like your own little retreat, perfect for slow mornings or hosting friends.

The perfect starter home to get your foot in the door, start building equity, and live in one of ATL’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Proof you don’t need a big house to have it all

Besties bought a house!!! Huge congratulations to Naomi and Connor on their purchase of the cutest bungalow in EAV!

Getting to help close friends buy their first home is incredibly meaningful to me. When the people in my life trust me with something this important, it truly means more than I can put into words. Supporting my business in that way never goes unnoticed, and I’m so grateful to be part of moments like this. 🤍

And a huge thank you to the dream team with and for making this a smooth closing as usual!
