Lying awake in a sleeping bag on a wood floor in an empty living room staring at barren walls – I was too giddy to sleep. I was filled with excitement that I could drill holes wherever I wanted, I could invest in furniture. I was relieved for having the feeling of being at home – even as I lay on a floor – for the first time since I left my childhood home in Scarsdale, N.Y. for college. I was ecstatic for finding my perfect condo in the perfect downtown Boulder location, for being a homeowner.
It is the memory of this wonderful moment, my professional experiences and my personality that motivates and enables me to be a successful real estate broker.
I am a journalist with an entrepreneurial spirit and have real estate running through my veins as my family and I have owned and managed Manhattan real estate since 1958.
I graduated from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007. After graduation I was a reporter for the Eagle Valley Enterprise in Eagle, Colo., a correspondent for the Vail Daily in Vail, Colo. and then a reporter for The Daily Voice on the East Coast. It was during this stint in New York that I realized Colorado – the outdoor activities, the beauty and the quality of life – had stolen my heart and that I had to return.
In 2011, I moved to Boulder and in keeping with the city’s entrepreneurial spirit started a niche women’s accessory company. The company didn’t last but my love for Boulder has.
My journalism education and experience together with starting a company and being around the real estate business my whole life has equipped me with a unique set of skills that has enabled me to be a successful real estate broker.
I am a fanatical investigator and researcher. I am a great listener and believe in prompt, informative and articulate communication. I am a savvy negotiator. While being tough, persistent, disciplined and a go-getter, I am usually a hugger instead of a hand-shaker, a people person.
So, let’s negotiate the best price for your investment or primary property, let’s find your perfect floor and your perfect barren walls in your perfect location, or let’s find a property with the highest CAP rate we can. I will get it done and done right – this I promise
What Clients Say
“My partner and I bought our first home with Katie’s fantastic help. She is extremely helpful in explaining the process and Boulder’s real-estate market, and also knows a lot of good negotiation tricks that are critical for being a competitive buyer in Boulder’s tight housing market. She was very fast to respond to both us and to the sellers and made our house buying process much easier than we had anticipated.”
