I have been a licensed Realtor in both ID and WA since 2009.  I own my own property management company, Magnolia Keys Premiere Properties, which is a more boutique approach that includes a portfolio of both mid/short term and long term rentals.  In all I do in real estate my motto has always been Quality over Quantity. Real estate is my passion and has been since I was young allowing me to both invest and flip my properties as well. 

I was raised in the PNW, graduated from UW (Go Dawgs!) and have called Coeur d' Alene, Idaho home since graduating.  No matter how much I travel the world, Cd'A is where my heart has taken root. 

I look forward to helping you as the KEYS to all your real estate dreams. Think KEYS, Think KATIE!

Born and raised in the Silver Valley (Kellogg, ID), I grew up on the CDA river, playing outdoors and in the mountains. I graduated from the University of Idaho in 2014 with a business degree and moved back to the "Big City" of CDA. My career in financial services started as a financial rep intern with Northwestern Mutual in 2013. In 2016, I joined Packard Wheeler Succession in our Employee Benefits divisions. I married my high school sweetheart in 2018 and together we have four children. The oldest two are adopted and the youngest two are bio (two boys, two girls) so we've got a good mix. Professionally, I focus on helping business owners strategically build and position their employee benefit plans to attract and retain quality employees. Personally, I'm still playing outdoors and up in the mountains - making memories with my family.

I install low ambient heating and cooling systems capable of 100% heating capacity down to -15F. I install systems for new construction, remodels, additions, existing homes, shops, shop houses, garages, and pretty much everything in between. I don't only work with ductless systems though. I have a thorough background in selling, designing, building, and installing fully ducted systems from 1000 Sq ft to 8000 Sq ft. With 20+ years of experience in HVAC and being that I started at 14 years old I have seen all walks of life when it comes to heating and cooling.
