"We worked with Katie for our first house and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was incredibly helpful, patient and kind. She answered all of our questions and made our first home-buying experience easy - it felt like we were working with a friend! We would recommend Katie and her team to anyone in the area, and would love to work with her again someday!” -Cydney and Chase"

"Working with Katie to find our dream home in Darien was an absolute pleasure! Going into the process of buying our first home could have been overwhelming, but Katie was so patient and really educated us on the area. She helped us figure out what our priorities were in home-buying to make sure we had the confidence when we finally felt we found the right place. Katie is so knowledgeable about the town of Darien, and helped take the stress out of the process for us first time buyers! - C&A"

"We moved to the suburbs abruptly during 2020 and quickly outgrew our home with a growing family. It was extremely difficult to navigate the market with limited inventory and aggressive terms for buyers. Katie gave us the confidence to bid on the right properties, at the right levels and at the right times for us. We had to be patient and trust her, and are now confident that we ended up in the perfect house. We're also thrilled with how quickly and professionally she sold our old house (not to mention the price!)." - M&J"

"Katie was wonderful to work with. She really listened and understood exactly what we were looking for. To that point, she never wasted our time on houses we wouldn’t like, and was very patient as we looked for the right home for over year. We were looking for something very specific in terms of location, and Katie delivered! Katie’s insider knowledge as a Darien native was invaluable in helping us navigate neighborhoods. Most importantly she never pushed us and the made the entire process enjoyable, which was particularly impressive in a market where it felt like a major undertaking to be a buyer!” -Alex"

"On a scale of 1-5, Katie is 10! We were looking for a home in the Southern Connecticut area in 2022, at the height of demand (and dearth of supply) . We worked without an agent for a few months until we met Katie at a house she was selling. We often found agents more interested in their own agenda, and avoided linking up with anyone specific. But we were immediately drawn to Katie's honesty and depth of knowledge of the area. Katie is a fantastic communicator and made herself available at all hours/days. She listened to our needs and focused on houses that met our criteria. After we were outbid (multiple times), she laid out alternative strategies for how we could make our offers more enticing. Katie also connected us with a cutting edge mortgage company who did a pre-qualification process that allowed us to make a cash-like offer. She sent (and continues to send) out weekly market updates for multiple towns in the area, which helped us keep a pulse on the trends in pricing and supply. Finally, Katie engaged with our kids during tours, allowing us to focus on the houses we were at. She ultimately helped us find the perfect home for our family and we couldn't have done it without her. Katie was patient, knowledgeable, determined, helpful, honest, dependable, trustworthy and just plain nice. We highly recommend Katie to anyone in the area that's looking to buy or sell a home". - DAVID & LINDSAY"
