Kate Norton

Kate was born and raised on the East Coast before calling California home in 2009. With over a decade of real estate experience, she has worked with a wide range of clients, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors. After years as a top-producing agent, Kate transitioned into a Sales Manager role, leading a team of up to 38 agents across the East Bay. Under her leadership, the team has closed hundreds of transactions each year, with annual sales volumes exceeding half a billion dollars. This depth of experience has given Kate valuable insights into different neighborhoods, buyer and seller motivations, and the strategies that drive results. It has also strengthened her ability to tailor her approach to meet each client’s unique needs while helping her agents maximize opportunities in a competitive market.

The same dedication and commitment that drove Kate’s success as an agent now fuel her passion for mentoring her team, refining their strategies, and ensuring they provide top-tier service to their clients. She is known for her transparency, clear communication, and strategic problem-solving. Kate prides herself on being approachable, straightforward, and always willing to go the extra mile—whether mentoring her team, optimizing business operations, or guiding clients through one of the most significant transitions of their lives.

Outside of work, Kate enjoys spending time with her two boys, who are active in various Alameda sports clubs. She loves cheering them on at their games while also staying active herself by running the trails of Bay Farm Island. When they’re not at a game, they enjoy exploring local restaurants and spending time with friends and family.
