Hi I'm Kathy Hereford! After more than two decades in real estate and over $450 million in career sales, I still believe this business is first and foremost about people. Buying or selling a home is deeply personal, and I never lose sight of the trust my clients place in me.
My career includes 12 years as an award-winning new-home sales professional with David Weekley Homes, followed by more than a decade representing buyers and sellers throughout Greater Orlando and Central Florida. That experience has given me extensive knowledge of new construction, resale and luxury residential real estate—but just as importantly, it has taught me how much honest advice, clear communication and personal attention matter.
Consistently recognized among the Top 100 Realtors in Central Florida and the Orlando Hot 100, I specialize in residential sales, luxury and move-up properties, new construction and relocation. Although Lake Nona is my home and one of my greatest areas of expertise, my business and client relationships extend throughout Central Florida.
Lake Nona is also an important part of my personal real estate story. I was part of the original David Weekley Homes sales team that opened Laureate Park and had the privilege of selling the very first home in the community. I have watched Lake Nona grow from its earliest days into one of Central Florida’s most sought-after areas, giving me a depth of knowledge that can only come from being here from the beginning.
My new-construction background gives my clients an advantage that goes well beyond traditional real estate experience. I understand construction quality, builder contracts, floor plans, structural options and the details that influence a home’s long-term value. Whether my clients are building a new home, purchasing a resale or preparing a property for the market, I provide straightforward guidance backed by decades of experience.
Sellers rely on my strategic pricing, thoughtful staging, professional photography and customized marketing to help their homes stand out. I personally manage the details that can make the difference between simply listing a home and successfully selling it.
Buyers value my market knowledge, negotiation skills and ability to recognize both a home’s potential and its possible concerns. I frequently assist clients who are relocating to Central Florida, moving within the area or considering new construction, helping them evaluate communities, builders, incentives and long-term resale value.
I am known for being responsive, honest and personally involved from our first conversation through closing—and long after the keys are handed over. Much of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, which means more to me than any award. My goal is not simply to complete a sale. It is to protect my clients, help them make confident decisions and provide an experience they feel genuinely good about.
Originally from New York, I have called Central Florida home since 1993 and Orlando home since 1999. I currently live in Lake Nona with my husband, Matt, a retired City of Orlando firefighter, and our daughter, Reese. When I’m not working with clients, I love traveling with my family, exploring the outdoors and planning our next adventure.
