KATE STEVENS
We first met Kate Stevens a long time ago, probably something like a decade and a half. At this point, I can't even remember the details, although I do remember the first meeting, and being alternately charmed by the accent and personality, and impressed by the professionalism. Every time we came to Florida on vacation, we'd drag Kate around St Augustine to show us houses, which she did patiently, even while she no doubt despaired that we'd ever buy anything. In 2014, the time and property were finally right, and Kate helped us buy a vacation condo in Crescent Beach. Ever since then, whenever bad weather has hit northern Florida, we've had a message in our inbox, asking if we needed her to go over and check on our condo for us, before or after the storm. She's incredibly loyal, always helpful and happy to be of service, professional and positive even when things go wrong, and just generally a joy to be around. When we decided to sell the condo in the summer of 2025, there was no question that we would call Kate again, and once again, she got the job done quickly and competently, with all due sympathy for us getting rid of what had been our Happy Place for more than a decade. When we get around to buying another Happy Place in Florida, we'll be calling Kate again, and we'll know we'll be in good hands.
