Katherine was amazing! She was consistently available, informative, and organized. She made us both feel a lot better about getting through the difficult process of buying our first house. She put together an amazing team of lenders, lawyers, etc. to get us to where we are now and I can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend!

From the moment I spoke with Katherine Waters-Clark about putting my house on the market, I immediately felt as though my family's needs and our home were her number one priority. After touring my home, a vision for the staging and sale of our home formed in her mind and it was through her consistent attention to detail and calm manner that this vision was realized. Katherine's blueprint for preparing one's house to sell was exactly what I needed in order to organize myself through the herculean task of sorting through 20 years of memories and accumulated "stuff". Katherine has an amazing ability to help one see through all of the chaos and nerves that one feels when taking on this endeavor and find both the solution and the calm. I didn't just have a realtor, I had a confidant, a coach, and a cheerleader. And now that I am in my new home and a new family is in my former one, all I can say is let the new memories begin! And I have Katherine Waters-Clark to thank for that....and I don't think thank you will ever be enough!

My husband and I were first time home buyers and recently closed on our home after working with Katherine. We talked to lots of agents before deciding to work with Katherine, and although we felt that others may ultimately get the job done, we immediately knew Katherine would give us a much-needed edge in the home buying process. We hope we’re not sellers anytime soon, but would absolutely return to her to sell our house and plan to refer friends and family to her.

The long version is below, but at the end of the day, the result is really what matters: we’re thrilled with the house we landed in, and we have the perspective to realize that we did so amid a historically difficult market for buyers directly because of Katherine and her network. We beat the next best offer by a razor-thin margin and needed every edge Katherine gave us, and we’re so thankful that we chose her to represent us. Read More

Katherine is a Real Estate Rock Star!!! From the day my husband and I decided to sell our home of 26 years, the question of who we would use to list it was never an issue. Katherine, 100%, no question!!!!

Katherine came to our home well-prepared. We discussed a timeline, what would need to be done to get the most interested buyers within our budget, and how the whole process would work, from start to finish!

She was always available to answer questions or concerns, and there were many, whenever we had them!! Katherine always made us feel at ease when things got bumpy, as they do, and always took the time to reassure us that all will be ok! And it always was!!!

The best things about Katherine is her experience, her connections. We were moving out of state and needed to find an agent in the area we were moving to. Katherine took the time to interview agents in our new location and when she had a few she thought would be a match, she set us Zoom calls with them for us to interview. Now, if that isn’t above and beyond I don’t know what is!!!

For all these reasons, and so much more, we highly recommend Katherine!!! Thank you Katherine, for everything!!!

My family and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience of working with Katherine. Despite our tight timeline, busy schedules, and lived-in property, Katherine skillfully guided us every step of the way with preparing, marketing and selling our family home, even during a changing real estate market. Katherine carefully evaluated each room (the exterior too!) and laid out a comprehensive plan for decluttering, packing, and preparation. She suggested strategic, buyer-friendly upgrades and connected us with contractors for all the projects so that our home would capture the highest price point in a competitive market. She even came up with a fun way to incentivize our young children to keep their rooms clean for showings! Katherine created customized checklists that kept us on schedule and made the entire process much less daunting. She was a total team player from start to finish, pitching in whenever needed to get the job done right. Her creative vision with staging and media transformed our home and made it shine for the market. Katherine carefully watched the local market right up until we launched, making sure that we were priced competitively. When offers were due, her savvy negotiating skills resulted in an over-asking sale and fantastic terms in only one weekend! Once we accepted an offer, Katherine and her team seamlessly coordinated every last deadline and detail.

What really separates Katherine from other agents is her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. Since we were moving out of state, Katherine took the time to research and interview several real estate agents in our new location, then scheduled video calls with us and the prospective agents so that we could “meet” them ahead of time and make the best choice for our family. Thanks to Katherine’s efforts, we are in excellent hands for our new purchase and move.

Selling our home could have been a daunting and humbling task. Throughout this process, there was never a time when we felt as though our best interests as a family were not the priority of every suggestion and action taken by Katherine. We are so grateful for her help and we highly recommend her. She is a secret weapon for any seller. Thank you Katherine!

Jo & Nate | Brighton | Seller & BUYER | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

I can not say enough good things about Katherine. We worked with her in total for over a year; she helped us both buy our new home and sell our old one. She supported us with professionalism and good humor throughout the buying process; from offering her experienced opinions on how a home configuration would work for our family, to thinking through what kind of offer we could make that was competitive and attractive. She also made the process of improving and selling our old home as easy as it could be. We sold for well over asking in one weekend.

Katherine always responded promptly to any question, and her attention to the millions of details throughout the process was both impressive and reassuring. I knew that she had our best interests in mind the whole time. I would highly recommend her to anyone who's swimming in the wild waters of Boston real estate.

I cannot imagine going through the home-selling process with anyone other than Katherine. Her industry expertise, marketing acumen, attention to detail and commitment to excellence is unmatched! There were many delays and renovations to be completed at my longtime home (a complicated gut-rehab due to a fire) and I consulted Katherine about absolutely everything from pricing to paint colors to closet design. She even hauled away a dented refrigerator door that should have been removed by the appliance people! Once we finally received the occupancy permit, Katherine swung into action and had it deep-cleaned and fully staged it within a week. She knew exactly how to emphasize the best features of the unit and even included a basket of yarn as an homage to my status as a longtime knitter. Within 5 days, just a week before Thanksgiving, we had multiple offers and sold for an incredible over-asking sales price. She has an extensive network and recommended a cleaner, an attorney, an accountant - whoever was needed, and gave me constant reassurance about any bumps in the road. Without Katherine's careful stewardship of the entire process, I know I would not have had at the same wonderful result. Thank you, Katherine! I’m eternally grateful.

Katherine was full service from day 1. She totally took control, albeit ran everything by me for my approval but nonetheless was in total control of the entire process. She totally organized a huge mess both inside the apartments and the basement which a prior realtor committed to do but fell way short. From there she organized cleaning and roof repair. We had plumbing, gas issues and smoke detector inspections which I could not be there so she organized met with respective parties and got everything fixed. In a word she was a dynamo. I believe she got me the max offer and handled all the closing details with the attorney and her office. In short I would highly recommend Katherine for any of your real estate needs.

Olivia & tara | somerville | Buyer | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

Katherine is exactly the person we needed to buy our first home in Somerville! She patiently taught us the ins and outs of home buying, all while helping us navigate a competitive market during a pandemic. Katherine also connected us to her incredible team of professionals who enabled us to make a competitive offer and successfully close within a month. We highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking to buy within the Boston area!

reshma & vinod | winchester | Buyer | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

My family & I found the perfect condo for our wants and needs. Knowing that Katherine had so many years of knowledge & personal & professional experience of Winchester town, she turned our ideal choice. After we made an offer we learnt the seller was looking for a much quicker closing & the lender we had picked could not process everything in that short span of a time. Katherine was in good control of the situation & was steadily communicating with the seller's agent and reassuring us at the same time that this was just a hurdle & would not turn into a deal breaker. Katherine swooped in with her army. She referred us to a lender who after shopping around still had the best rate. She also introduced us to our closing attorney who made this process extremely seamless. The overwhelming process of home buying was a pleasant breeze with Katherine besides us. She went above & beyond just the realtor responsibilities. She offered us references & contacts to handymen & the whole team of essential workers. She was also kind enough to make a food pantry donation to mark the celebration of our new home. We have now been a homeowner for just over a month and we couldn’t be happier!

Jacki & Zack | sudbury | Buyer | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

Katherine was the absolute best to work with! From our initial orientation meeting through after our closing, Katherine has attended to our EVERY need. We were so impressed with how seamlessly her team worked together, and her recommendations for a real estate attorney and mortgage lender were fantastic. Katherine's expertise in unparalleled; in such a competitive market, the first offer we made on a house was accepted due to her diligence on understanding our town's market and educating us on what makes a strong offer. As first time home buyers, we so appreciated her eye for detail, her patience in answering all of our questions, and her quick response time! Thanks to Katherine, we found the house of our dreams! We highly recommend Katherine!

paul & Aimee | Winchester | buyer & seller | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

We used Katherine both for the purchase and sale of our homes in Winchester, MA. Katherine is AMAZING! She covered so many details of both transactions. With respect to the purchase, she put together a great package that was accepted in a very competitive Winchester market. In addition to the yeoman’s work Katherine put forth on both properties, Katherine has a tremendous network of individuals to assist with tasks from financing, closing, landscaping, cleaning, renovations, junk removal, etc. With respect to the sale of our Winchester home, Katherine did so much work to get our house sale ready. After some targeted improvements using a contractor Katherine recommended, Katherine designed and staged the property. Some of our friends barely recognized the place when she finished. It came out gorgeous, and ultimately resulted in many many offers well over our asking price. The depth of Katherine’s knowledge of the Winchester housing market is remarkable. We can’t recommend Katherine enough to anyone who might be considering buying or selling a home in the area. Thanks for everything, Katherine!!

Michael & Jacki | Stoneham | buyer & SEller | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

Katherine is awesome! She helped us buy our dream home, and sell our current home in the middle of a pandemic! Something I didn't think was possible initially. I was very nervous, and wasn't sure if it could be done, but Katherine did her research, came up with a safe plan and guided us through the sale of our home step-by- step. She is a stickler for perfection and I LOVE that about her! Her vision for the staging of our home was beautiful. We worked together over FaceTime and Zoom to prepare our home to look its absolute best. She was always there to answer every call and text, reassuring me, reminding me of the overall goal, and even making me laugh when I needed it. She knows the market in this area very well, negotiates like a pro, and deals with issues calmly and professionally. This was our second time selling a home through Katherine and although we don't ever plan on selling again (!!!) I will recommend her to everyone I know because she is a gem! Katherine, we are eternally grateful for you!

Michelle & Peter | N. Reading | buyer | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

I reached out to Katherine as I knew I needed an extremely responsive buyer’s agent that would seek well-suited properties outside of our immediate location for our consideration. I was pleasantly surprised that at each of our numerous showings she was really trying to get to know what appealed to us in every house to better understand our needs/wants/wishes....and we did not make it easy. As requested, we saw homes in various towns and price ranges. When we found a property of interest, Katherine quickly submitted a comprehensive, competitive offer for us. This summer was an extremely hot seller’s market for the suburbs of Boston, where the properties often went under agreement in hours, over asking and frequently without contingencies. In the end, due to the high demand for properties in our price range, she ended up drafting 4 offer packages for us before we finally went under agreement with our next home. Katherine was always available and would text back immediately even though she was representing other buyers and sellers—she was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for an efficient agent with good connections to mortgage brokers and expert legal representation to complement her efforts, she is going to be a great fit for your real estate representation needs.

KenN & Anya | Lexington | buyer | ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

Katherine was a pleasure to work with. We are so glad we were referred to her by our trusted agent in California as we were planning to relocate to the Boston area. Katherine helped us explore several homes and apartments to rent, acting as our eyes & ears (and using FaceTime) while we stayed on the West Coast due to the COVID-19 situation. We found a great apartment and signed the lease remotely without seeing it in person! It was so great to have Katherine check out all the details to make sure it would meet our needs. Once we moved over the summer, Katherine showed us all around the Winchester neighborhoods (which we adored!), and she highlighted adjacent towns where we might find what we desired. We luckily found a great home in Lexington, but the timing was tight to get our children started in the new school district while waiting to close, so she worked with the seller's agent to find a creative way to have a "use & occupancy" (rental-like) agreement where we took possession during the closing period, satisfying the residency requirements. And we got to enjoy the end of the summer and early fall in our new home well before closing, taking advantage of the warm weather to jump in the pool and start getting familiar with the home and neighborhood. Katherine also helped connect us with some recent transplants from back West who were in our town and school district, which was quite helpful as we essentially had no friends in the area. So nice to have a bit of connection, even if virtual for now, as we start to build our social network. We highly recommend Katherine -- she covers all the bases, is super responsive, and really works hard to understand what's important to you.
