This is Kate from Homes by Kate. I was born in Madison, attended schools here and graduated from UW Madison. I worked as a Probation and Parole Agent for twenty years before starting my real estate business. In 2014 I became a realtor and absolutely love what I do(and this shows)! Yes, I agree that some challenging obstacle comes up in every transaction but I see this as an opportunity to learn how to overcome those while maintaining a smooth transaction. Searching for or buying a home is stressful and I am able to help my clients by putting some fun into the process while educating them along the way.
Additionally, I owned Kate & Co for several years, where I sold Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and held classes on modernizing older pieces of furniture. I occasionally still work on completing custom painted pieces.
I live in Fitchburg and have three grown sons, Nick, Aidan and Teddy, I also have two sweet dogs, Bailey (Golden Retriever )and Charlie (mini goldendoodle). I love to travel as it refuels me and I walk away from each trip a better person.
My morning routine focuses on gratitude which reminds me how to stay in the moment. I appreciate that I can help others in real estate, whether they are first time home owners, downsizing, searching for investment properties or looking to find that oasis where you can live, work, love and play.
