Katy Thielke Straser

In her 20-year career across the Bay Area, Katy has represented properties from modest family homes to luxury estates. She's known and valued among local sellers and buyers for her energy, experience, in-depth knowledge of local areas, mastery of fast-changing trends, and savvy negotiating skills. In the dynamic Peninsula market, where conditions can change in a heartbeat, Katy's sellers value her guidance on strategically pricing their properties to earn the most rewarding results.

Katy maintains firsthand involvement in the selling process from listing to close and beyond. That includes working with a hand-selected team of vendors, contractors and service providers to ensure the home makes the best possible impression on potential buyers. She also networks with other top producers across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties to give her clients' properties powerful insider exposure. She draws on these connections to help her to find the ideal properties for her buyers as well.

Born and raised in Los Altos, Katy lives in Menlo Park with her husband and two children. Her volunteer work with local health and education organizations is a valued part of her life.
