Dave

Client Testimonial

Katie was an absolute blessing. I was referred to her through a family friend. Katie
made the entire process incredibly smooth. She was very pro active, and clearly
knowledgeable. At every point through the entire process, Katie was very
informative, patient, and all around pleasant. We hit a few snags especially towards
the end from the sellers’ side, but Katie did an excellent job navigating us through. I
wholeheartedly recommend Katie to anyone out there. Thank you for everything,
Katie!

Sarah B

Client Testimonial

Katie was very helpful in every way in the purchase of my house. She was willing to
show me any house I was interested in, and also gave me suggestions for houses
that were similar to ones I was looking at. She made sure I knew where in the
process I was, as well as explaining anything I didn't know about. She made buying
my first home very easy.She was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I would
recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

LeeAnna

Client Testimonial

Katie was super helpful and super patient with me an my boyfriend during our search... we went back and forth a few time as to if we want to actually buy a house or not. Katie was super understanding and didn't pressure us at all to buy before we were ready. She went through many houses with us and really looked at them with us as though she were going to buy... pointing out flaws, letting us know if something was actually a deal for what the house was or if it was listed over its actual value... she was great and I will 100% recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell (I already have actually).

Amy - Buyer Client

Client Testimonial

She was always on top of things. Showed me anything I wanted to see in a timely
manner. She always kept in contact once I decided in a home. Even if she had no
new news she would periodically tell me no news yet and what we were waiting on. I
was never left wondering. she is very friendly and an amazing realtor. I would
recommend her to everyone.

Katie was extremely available and accommodating, she made the buying experience
very quick and easy. She was very knowledgeable about the Latrobe area.

Kaitlyn H

Client Testimonial

When my husband and I requested to see a house on realtor.com, Katie had reached out to us immediately. We did not purchase the original house we went to view with her, however, she continued to show us multiple houses we were interested in until we found the one. She was very flexible and always made time for us no matter the hour. When we requested to see our house for the first time, we went to see it the day it was listed on a Saturday night. We wrote up an offer that night. Katie stayed up on the phone with us until midnight and made sure we had all the paperwork necessary. We are so grateful to Katie for helping us purchase our first home where we plan to raise our children and create many wonderful memories!

THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE AREA! Katie will go above and beyond for you as a Real Estate Agent. She seems to get a lot of business through word of mouth, and I can see why. She did a great job locating and showing me homes until we found the right one. I would use her again for my real estate needs and would HIGHLY recommend her to anybody. Thanks Katie!

Katie was amazing to work with. She was professional, punctual, and easy to get ahold of. She returned my calls quickly, which is a rare quality these days.... I would definitely work with her again

Tasha

Client Testimonial

Katie is amazing. I really wasn't even looking for a specific house because I didn't think I could get financed. She held my hand the whole way and was emotional support through the mortgage process. I got the house I wanted and I got it at a perfect price. Once we went through the inspection some things needed adjusted and she took care of it all. I closed December 23 of 2021. It was the greatest moment because I never thought I would be able to do this.

Jason

Seller

Katie was sought out to sell my Mother's Home in Pennsylvania, while I am living in Kentucky. With only having to do one trip to PA to get things in place so the home could be listed, Katie went above and beyond helping me getting the house ready to sell by providing me pictures, videos, and recommending people to get different jobs completed. Katie is very professional, and is prompt in getting back to you when she is away from her phone. She allowed me to have an easy transition in selling the home while being 7 hours away. She did a lot of extra work that most Realtor's don't do. If you are looking for a good, prompt Realtor, I would suggest giving Katie a call. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!!

Jeff and Kim

Seller

Katie was always very prompt with responding with any questions that
we had regarding on selling our property. She made the transaction go
smoothly and was very proficient. She was very professional and helpful.
We would definitely use Katie again for any of our real estate ventures.

Noel

Buyer

Katherine Franks is not just a real estate agent to us, she is our guardian angel.

We were in a very difficult situation, and she went above and beyond for us, from pre-approval to closing and even after closing.

She is the best realtor we have ever worked with. She is kind, compassionate, and genuinely cares about her clients and their needs.

We are so grateful to Katie for all her help. We just spent a week in our new home, and we love it. We couldn't have done it without her.

JUST AMAZING!!!

Bree

Buyer

We were first time home buyers and had no clue how this processed worked. She led us every step of the way. No matter the time.. she always called or text me back promptly. She got me into every house I wanted to view within two days. Always worked around my schedule. The hardest part of it all was the loan which took the longest. She was so patient and talked me down when I was freaking out. We moved in August 7th, 2023. Thanks to her this bumpy road was so much easier than it should have been!

Jeff

Buyer

Katie was always available for questions and very responsive. Overall the
experience was great and had our home sold within a week.

Kevin and Tina

Katie is the best , she never, never stopped trying to help us. She never
missed a showing early morning or late. 100 percent recommend her.

Justin

Kim

Buyer

Katie is an awesome realtor! Super friendly, readily available for showings- I live in Hawaii and she showed the homes I was interested in by FaceTime, as engaged as in person and helped me find was I was looking for which was not an easy task. It was a foreclosure which was a consuming task- Katie was there throughout the process, being encouraging and keeping me updated from a distance. Katie made the process so much less stressful! I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell at home. From the 1st showing and until after the sale even, she provides stellar service!

Ted

Buyer

Katie was the ONLY realtor who answered my phone call. She delivered
as promised!
