About the Listing Agent

Katherine Lytle

After 28 years at B. A. Rupert Real Estate, Inc., I have decided it was time to start my own real estate firm. I have had the pleasure of being mentored by Teenie Kegley and working beside her through all the changes in the real estate world over these many years. I appreciate all the valuable experience I have gained over the years and look forward to providing the same prompt, professional attention to my clients. In addition to being a broker, I also am a Licensed Residential Appraiser.
