For buyers, that means not just educating them to the process but exposing them to as much inventory as possible and specifically demonstrating how to determine value. A strong understanding of the market leads to sound investment decisions especially when considering the re-sale of a property many years down the road.

Deftly managing transactions all the way to the closing table, with as little stress as possible for her clients, is a hallmark of her reputation.

Born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey, Katie attended Montclair High school and graduated from Fairfield University, in CT, with a BA in Political Science. Before getting into real estate in 2000, she was an Emmy Award winning Television Producer and Writer. She currently resides in Montclair with her husband and son. She is very involved in the public school district, local charities and has been an active volunteer, supporter and fundraiser for many causes.
