Kate believes the best real estate outcomes come from preparation, not pressure. Detail-driven and calm under complexity, she guides buyers and sellers through one of the most competitive markets in the country with transparency, care, and a level of preparation that sets the tone from the very first conversation. From early planning stages through closing day, she makes the process feel manageable — breaking down each step, coordinating vendors, fine-tuning pricing or offer strategies, and ensuring every moving part comes together seamlessly. Her background in San Francisco real estate runs deeper than the average agent. Before joining Sotheby's International Realty, Kate served as Director of Digital Marketing at McGuire Real Estate, a century-old brokerage rooted in the city's luxury marketplace. Working closely with some of the Bay Area's most respected agents, she developed a strategic, numbers-forward mindset while also learning the nuanced art of property presentation and storytelling. That inside view of how San Francisco's top producers think, price, and position properties shapes everything she brings to her clients today. Whether working with first-time homebuyers, a bespoke luxury listing, or a seasoned investor, there's a consistency to Kate's craft. Interpreting San Francisco's hyper-local market trends on a routine basis — where values can shift by neighborhood, sometimes block by block — helps her clients make smart, confident decisions at every stage. A Cow Hollow resident and Chico State alumna, Kate has called San Francisco home for nearly two decades. When she's not working, you'll find her on an early morning walk to the Golden Gate Bridge, settled in for a football Sunday (open house schedule permitting), catching live music with friends, or dining at her brother's restaurant in Pacific Heights.
