About

I am an expert Real Estate Agent with Athena Real Estate, specializing in the New Orleans metro area. Born and raised in the Big Easy, I love assisting clients in finding the perfect place to call home. My husband and I met as law students at Loyola Law School, and my background as a corporate attorney is an asset when it comes to the detailed contract drafting and negotiation required for successful real estate transactions. My goal is to make buying and selling a home as stress-free and easy as possible, and maybe even fun!

I have been honored as "Rookie Realtor of the Year," recognized as a four-time "Top Producer," and a "Million in a Month" salesperson on multiple occasions. I grew up on the West Bank and currently live with my husband and two daughters in the Lakeview area of New Orleans. I graduated from Mount Carmel Academy and Mississippi State University before completing my degree at Loyola Law. I would love to help you with your real estate needs.

Ratings & Reviews

Rory and Danielle Bellina

Katie has been the absolute best to work with and has made the whole house-selling process a breeze. We listed our house for 48 hours and received 4 offers (3 OVER asking). Here we are just 19 days later with a SOLD house! Because of her we were able to move into our forever home in just a few months. Thank you Katie for investing your time, hard work and talent into selling our home and thank you for being an even more amazing friend.

Blake and Tori Nystrom

We were referred to Katie by a friend when we were making the move from Chicago to New Orleans. Having never lived in the area before, her knowledge of the city was such an added bonus of working together. We found a short-term rental in a really fun part of the city to try out, and then Katie helped us buy our dream home in an up-and-coming part of Lakeview.

Katie made us feel at ease and like we were working with a friend who had our best interests in mind. She was a good sounding board during our decision-making process and ensured we were making the best decision to meet our goals.

She had a super fast response and turnaround time in answering all of our questions as first-time homebuyers. In a competitive market you need to be able to move fast and Katie helped us do just that. Her local expertise was crucial in our contract negotiations. Thank you for helping us find an amazing home in an amazing neighborhood!

Colin Manikin

Katie was very prompt and quickly responded to all of my questions which allowed for a very quick closing. With Katie's help, I was able to go from viewing my first home to closing and moving in within four weeks.

Katie and Andrew Brien

Katie is absolutely amazing and is a wonderful agent! We were first time homebuyers and were honestly intimidated by the entire process. She helped us in every way possible to make the process easier. She is communicative, patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly, well-connected in the area. She is always on top of things and ready to answer any and all questions you may have. We made an offer on our house on July 4th weekend when Katie was out of town, and yet she never missed a beat! She always goes well beyond what is expected and we couldn't have been happier.

Lechelle Williams

We began working with Katie around February 2017. She was always pleasant, professional and very very patient. With every speed bump we ran into (banks are nightmares lol) Katie was right there checking in on us and going above and beyond to make sure everything went right. After long long months of searching and dealing with our bank, she helped us find the perfect home in a wonderful area! She was with us through everything from first meetings, inspections and all the way through closing. Awesome awesome awesome!!! Thanks Katie!!!
