    Took the Stress Out of It

    "Working with Katie was great! She is extremely knowledgeable about the DC/MD market and had some great insight on a variety of neighborhoods in different areas. When we would walk through homes, she had a great eye and would point things out that we never would have noticed on our own. She was dedicated to helping us and was always available to answer any questions we had and always made us feel like a priority. Buying a house is a stressful process, but Katie really took the stress out of it for us. We had 100% confidence that everything was handled perfectly. If you are thinking of buying a home, do yourself a favor and hire Katie immediately!" - Jess and John B.

    Knows the Market

    "Katie stepped in and told me that a house I was about to put an offer in on was way overpriced. Thanks to her intervention I ended up in a beautiful, affordable apartment in a neighborhood I love. And the house I was previously thinking about had its price dropped by 30K the week after her very timely intervention!" - Martha G.

    Great for First-Time Home Buyers

    “My fiancé and I had been looking for our dream home for a few months. Nothing was “it” - we even had two offers fall through. After the second failed offer, we decided to “break-up” with our original agent and found Katie. She was a complete 180 in our home search and buying experience! Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and just cool to be around. Our dream home ended up being the first one we looked at with Katie and she sealed the deal. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a home, but especially for first-time home buyers. She’s awesome!” - Ashleigh and Brian

  • My Story
     

    Real Estate Agent & Entrepreneur

    Getting you to your goals

    Katie's hard skills and experience in business and strategy give her an edge in the marketplace, but it's her enjoyment of working with clients (friends!) - helping them to realize their dreams - that drives her. This is the common theme that ties together her many interests and projects.

     

    As a real estate agent, Katie listens, learns, and then creates an approach that is customized to each client whether they are buying, selling, or investing. She works to make what can be a stressful process as smooth as possible, making sure that her client's needs are met.

     

    As the owner of Biker Barre, an award winning fitness boutique in Capitol Hill, Katie is proud of the community she's built. Biker Barre was the first indoor cycling studio in DC and among the first barre studios. It's a special place where anyone is welcome and positive change is always happening.

     

    Hard skills

    Katie's professional background is in digital marketing and advertising, specifically brand strategy. She has worked for clients such as Bank of America, Procter & Gamble, and Volkswagen Group of America.

     

    In 2010 Katie decided to break away from her career of more than a decade in order to found Biker Barre. The result was a resounding success and soon the business was more or less running itself. As a result, in 2014 Katie sought a new challenge. She got her real estate license because she had the time and interest, but did not initially plan to pursue real estate professionally. It was only after buying her own home that Katie realized her passion for the business. Four years later, Katie has grown her real estate business substantially, becoming a top performing agent by bringing her unique background to bear.

     

    Katie holds an MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and has served as the President of the Ross School of Business Alumni Club of Washington. Katie lives in an adorable bungalow in Hyattsville, MD with her husband Andrew, daughter Genevieve, and pup Harley.

    Katie has found that the best way for most people to start a conversation about real estate is casually. Even if you're years away from buying or aren't sure that selling is right for you, Katie is happy to sit down and explain the process so that you can make the best decisions for you. No obligations.
