As a Winterset native, Kaitlyn is excited to return to the community she has always called home and put down roots of her own. After spending time in Iowa City studying marketing, she returned to Winterset with a passion for real estate and a desire to build her career close to home. Kaitlyn enjoys keeping up with market trends as well as the evolving styles and architecture that make each home unique. As many of the people around her enter the world of first-time homeownership, real estate has become a natural part of her everyday life. She thrives on efficiency and is committed to making these important transactions as smooth and straightforward as possible.

Helping others has always been a big part of who Kaitlyn is. She has spent much of her time working within the Winterset Community School District in a variety of roles, always looking for opportunities to lend a hand. That same willingness to help is what drew her to real estate and continues to shape the way she works with her clients. Kaitlyn takes pride in being someone her clients can rely on throughout the process.

Outside of real estate, Kaitlyn enjoys staying connected to the Winterset community and finding ways to be involved wherever she can. Whether she is working, spending time with friends and family, or exploring local happenings, she loves being part of the community she calls home. She looks forward to bringing that same enthusiasm, attention to detail, and genuine care to every client she works with.
