Katherine believes buying and selling real estate is as much an emotional transaction as it is a major financial investment. This lesson was instilled early on by her parents, who were big proponents of the philosophy that ones home is both a sanctuary and a valuable asset - especially in New York. 

Katherine provides invaluable support to guide her clients through every transaction. Market knowledge and experience, when coupled with legal and financial guidance, ensure seamless results. Her well-roundedness as a residential sales specialist stems from thirteen years at Douglas Elliman and her prior career as an attorney in the real estate department at Kaye Scholer, where she worked on residential and commercial deals. 

Since prior to joining Compass, Katherine has enjoyed a close partnership with Matt Holbein. They spent over a decade delivering results and optimal service to clients seeking honest, trustworthy professionals who are totally committed to their needs. Together, Katherine and Matt have achieved countless accolades, referrals and repeat business from satisfied clients. 

Katherine has been a New York City resident since 1994 and bought her first apartment at the Chelsea Mercantile. She has always been a huge believer in the power of New York City real estate. To quote her, "Theres simply no better investment." 

Katherine hails from the west coast where she graduated cum laude from UCLA. She earned her law degree at Brooklyn Law School.
