Hello, I’m Katherine McBride, a real estate broker with a background in Interior Design who is seriously passionate about homes.

Home. A small word that evokes so much meaning. Our lives revolve around the place that we call home. It is the place where we make memories that will last for a lifetime. It is where we come together with family and friends to celebrate, relax, and unwind. Home is where we watch our family grow and go through the trials and tribulations of life together.

I understand the significance of connecting people with the place that will serve as the backdrop to all the moments that make up a life.

Buying or Selling a home requires a major investment, not just of your finances, but also of your time and energy. The home buying and selling processes have the potential to be fraught with stress; a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be. As your agent, I work hard to make the journey together smooth, fun, and rewarding.

As a longtime resident of the South Sound, I am fully invested in my community and committed to being a part of its growth. On weekends, you can often find me traversing the many mid-century neighborhoods of Olympia with my two kiddos in tow, drooling over the houses we love, discussing our favorite features of a particular home, or imagining what the people’s lives are like behind those walls.

As an Interior Designer, I have worked with homeowners all over the Puget Sound region to help them reimagine the place they call home into spaces that better serve their needs both functionally and aesthetically. With an eye for design, I have what it takes to spot a diamond in the rough and visualize the unrealized potential in homes.

When selling your home, I am able to leverage my background in design to help you showcase your home in the best light and ensure that you walk away with the highest possible value.

When buying a home, I am committed to finding you the house that ignites your passion. The place you can get excited about making memories in that will last a lifetime.

Whether you are embarking on buying or selling a home, know that not only will we have fun achieving your real estate goals, but we’ll do it with style!
