Kate A Barnhart

Kate is one of those people who gets things done! When our dream house went on the market during a crazy time in our lives, we knew if anyone could make it happen, it was Kate. We had had a great experience buying with her several years earlier, so we knew we could trust her and be hands-off while we dealt with a family crisis. Not only did Kate get us in to see the house immediately, she helped us put together an offer that beat out the competition immediately. Despite the fact that the sellers and their agent were poor communicators and dragged their feet on things, Kate stayed on top of everything to push the deal through to close on time. Her ex...

If you are looking to buy or sell a home and like to work with someone to advise and guide you, Kate is the best there is. She is so knowledgeable in what's in a good house and brings up factors that you may not even consider. She's connected with many people that can help you make your home into great shape to sell within days on the market or make it to how you want to live your new home. Her team are kind and considerate and patient to help everyone. She's great at communication and explains everything to be comprehensible. We wanted to move from our old home and with Kate's help, we moved to our new home within 3 months, while Kate used her reso...

This is the second time that I sell a property with Kate and will do many more if necessary. Kate is the best agent I have worked with. She has a very bright and creative mind. She takes care of every detail before listing, from assessing the value, meticulously designing the listing strategy, communicating with the seller often, and more.

When I started working with Kate, I knew nothing about home buying, and I wasn't even pre-approved yet. But she helped me get connected with a good lender and was willing to take me to numerous houses over a long period of time. I really appreciated her knowledge, responsiveness, and patience (especially since I didn't know what I wanted for a long time). Very grateful for her help! I definitely recommend her.

Kate is the consummate professional and guided us the entire way through looking at options to making the offer, then assisting us at closing. Her knowledge of the Baltimore market is amazing. On top of all that, she is a really nice and helpful person!

I chose Kate to sell my home after interviewing 5 others. Her profound knowledge of the Baltimore housing market; her appreciation for the intrinsic value of my Victorian row home in Charles Village; her expert guidance on reasonable improvements to enhance value; the grit shown during negotiations, and her prompt response to my every concern made her the key to the fastest and most successful of my home sales. I am deeply grateful to Kate for helping me hang frames and put dishes away minutes before the Open Houses; for her calmness during the entire process—especially when the first buyer's offer fell through; and for her professionalism in guidin...

Someone wrote that a client would feel like she was Kate's only one. That's how I felt when I was selling my condo. Her professional and yet friendly availability was unfailing. She offered frank advice and provided the impetus to get things done. My property was not a million-dollar property; it was minimal, but still she encouraged me and negotiated a sale price that was beyond my hopes. She knows the unique intricacies of the business and market. Kate also quickly tuned in to my temperament and taught me the necessary information I needed. Any buyer or seller could feel confident with her assistance and direction.

I can't say enough good things about Kate! This was my husband's and I first time buying a house, and Kate took us through the process step-by-step and answered our countless questions with grace. Given her background in civil engineering and years of experience as a realtor, she knows exactly what to look for and more importantly look out for when house hunting. She has a wide network of professionals that she will kindly connect you with and was super easy to communicate with. Most importantly, she will be your biggest advocate during the negotiation stage and is not afraid of a fight. We would absolutely recommend Kate to our dearest family and f...

Kate was excellent! She came highly recommended by friends, and I'm happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a home. Her experience in real estate and as a former engineer greatly helped us through the house-hunting process from beginning to end! We learned so much from her! She's very responsive and was always ready to respond to all of our many, many questions along the way.

Kate was absolutely incredible to work with on selling our home. We were sure we were going to choose another agent before meeting her; she blew us away with how prepared she was to discuss our home, and every step of the way she continued to display that attention to detail and organization. We followed her advice every step of the way and received 10k over what we expected to be our best-case scenario, and firmly credit Kate with making that happen. We couldn't be happier or more eager to recommend her to our friends in the area.

Dynamic buyer's agent! Persevered until the right home came on the market. Made submitting a contract a painless procedure with superior attention to detail.

Kate was reliable and extremely helpful in my first home-buying experience. She helped me negotiate a price that I thought was fair for a home, and her referrals (i.e., inspectors, electricians) were of superior quality. With her engineering background and home-buying and maintenance experience, she educated me on any home maintenance issues that may creep up in the future. I was always so frightened of the home-buying experience, but she made it very smooth for me! She is always responsive (which I loved) when you need her!

As a first-time home buyer, I was very nervous and confused about the whole home-buying process, but Kate guided me through everything with ease. She is a true professional but not the uptight and boring type; she's fun and funny and truly a kind person. I am forever grateful that she helped me find my dream home.

Kate is simply fantastic. She has worked for us on multiple occasions and has always done a spectacular job. We engaged Kate to manage our Baltimore property, and she successfully helped us rent it out for a profit. She helped us buy one house and then sell it when we relocated, also for a profit. Kate is knowledgeable, professional, savvy, proactive, a hard worker, and just plain fun! She always took care of us, and she will absolutely do a great job for you. She excels at everything she does, and she can be trusted to look out for you. You will enjoy working with her and be thankful you did.

Kate was my realtor when I first purchased my home and my realtor again when selling it. Kate is professional and experienced! She's been doing this for a while; she knows what she's doing, so trust her expertise! I recommend her services to everyone, especially new homebuyers, because she's knowledgeable about the different first-time homebuyer programs.

Kate has been my go-to Realtor for quite a while. Always on target and there to make it work. Kate has put in great effort and input to the properties being sold and once everything was ready the property got sold at the best possible price in a very short time. Kate will always work through bumps and straighten them out. Keep up your great work and reputation, Kate!

Kate came highly recommended from family. Being new to the area, her knowledge of the greater Baltimore area was very helpful. She was very responsive and always answered my many questions with a friendly attitude. Her help and expertise made the home-buying experience far less stressful. I would certainly recommend and would return to her again.

Kate is very knowledgeable and personable. She really took time with my boyfriend over the past couple of years, in the middle of a pandemic, to find us the perfect house without being pushy. She is available whenever we need her and still answers any questions we have. Kate is the best!

Kate was instrumental in finding the right investment property, locating contractors to renovate, and securing tenants. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the market pricing and valuations. We enjoyed working with her.

I was attempting to sell an investment property my partner and I have owned for 12+ years. We were in discussion with a Real Estate Investor who had solicited us to buy the property. In the middle of the negotiations, I reached out to Kate at the suggestion of our property manager and explained our situation. She did a market analysis and told me that we could get substantially more money than the amount we were negotiating around with this investor. She outlined a marketing plan, gave guidance on what we would need to do to get the property in a market-ready position in the price range she gave. She worked with the current tenant so she would coope...
