Katie is a highly accomplished and dedicated professional in the residential real estate industry. With over 18 years of experience in interior design, she developed a deep understanding of design and renovation, which she uses to help her clients envision the potential of a property and make strategic upgrades that increase its value. As a licensed realtor, she is well-versed in the market and possesses a strong ability to negotiate on behalf of her clients.
"Katie Schaller is an exceptional agent. She gave me confidence that she could sell my home at a price that exceeded recommendations from most other agents I interviewed. I had a full-price offer within two days and back up offers. Katie’s understanding of the local market, coupled with her background in interior design, was an advantage in presenting my home for photography and showings. She also represented me in the purchase of my new home. Her experience in renovating homes was helpful in explaining what could be done with the property, whether related to plumbing, electrical work and even internet connectivity. After I moved into my new home, she amazed me by offering to change a complex digital lock. She is professional, poised, enthusiastic, knowledgeable about all things ‘home’ and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her."

"We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Katie.
At the start of our home search, Katie truly listened to our wishlist. It was clear from the beginning that she was committed to making sure we made a great investment. She gave us candid guidance while also allowing us the space to privately discuss and make decisions without feeling pressured.
Katie was extremely gracious and willing to show us houses even under short notice. During our search, the market was moving quickly and we were under tight time constraints to purchase. Despite that pressure, Katie remained calm and incredibly patient with us and the process. When we needed to see a house, she got us in quickly. Her awesome humor and easy personality made home shopping feel more fun than daunting.
We bought at one of the toughest times to buy during the pandemic. I’m not sure we would’ve succeeded without Katie. It was her strategy and expertise that helped us win an aggressive bidding war."
If we ever needed to buy again, we would hands down choose Katie again and again. But Katie got us into the house that checked every box (plus some), so the best we can do now is recommend her to all our home searching friends!

"I cannot say enough kind words about Katie Schaller. This was my first time apartment hunting, and she made the experience not only enjoyable but seemingly flawless. Katie demonstrates incredible communication skills, and is your #1 supporter throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone and everyone who is looking for properties!"

"Katie is a natural. She loves what she does and it shows. The sale of our house was an emotional decision and one that we made and wanted to move quickly. She was quick and efficient and covered everything necessary and not. She was on the ball, even when we were not, which was exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend Katie for the sale or purchase of a home."

"I couldn’t speak more highly of Katie and her commitment to us when finding our perfect home. It was a long time in the making and she stuck with us for the whole process. She was kind, dedicated, patient and overall an amazing realtor. I believe we looked at over 25 homes before we found our forever home. She was there to give advice when we needed it and it helped us find our forever home. When time for closing and all of the paperwork she helped us walk us through the process and always answered our questions thoroughly. Thank you Katie from the bottom of hearts. We will forever be thankful!"

"In a supremely difficult and competitive housing environment, Katie took in two first-time home buyers and made us feel informed, safe and confident. She kept us up to date on listings, arranged early showings, made sure we knew where everything stood and gave us excellent insight into each home for what is good, what is bad and what can be fixed. And every time we needed something (a mortgage broker, an inspector, a lawyer, etc.) she had someone perfect for us.
She preached patience when we had time, and helped us step on the gas when our deadline approached. We ended up with more house and more yard than we expected, in our ideal school area, for less than our maximum budget. Doing that in the summer of 2021 is nothing short of a miracle. Buying a house after renting for 20-plus years should have been scary, but Katie made it fun."
