She was such a unique combination of smarts, kindness, and vulnerability all in one. When you would walk past her office it was hard not to talk with her because she was so engaging… and her marketing sense was off the charts. I got some good stuff from her.

As someone who is married to a strong woman I appreciated Katie for her know-how but also worried for her because she was in a “man’s world” in our industry where I imagine it wasn’t easy. She didn’t cross paths with another female broker I had, Deborah Moore but I remember telling her a few years back what a team they would make and that I would have followed them anywhere, Blake wrote.
