I met Katie 14 years ago when we worked in the same office, and even back then, she stood out as one of the most hardworking and client focused people I knew. At the time, Katie was working in commercial real estate, and later she transitioned into residential where she has truly built her career. Throughout the years she never lost touch, sending holiday cards, inviting us to client appreciation events, and keeping us connected through social media. I always said that when the time was right to buy our first home, Katie would be the one we would call. A few years ago, my husband and I reached out to Katie just to learn what we needed to prepare for a future home purchase. She patiently answered our questions, shared lender recommendations, and never pressured us. Life got busy as we saved for a home and welcomed our baby, but when the time finally came, Katie was ready. She and her team curated a thoughtful list of homes, paying close attention to schools and neighborhoods we had not even considered, and encouraged us to move at our own pace. Katie would always remind us, "There's no rush, I want you to love your home." When we finally found the home, we discovered there were already multiple offers on the table. Katie immediately gave us her strategy advice, and thanks to her expertise, we not only beat out two competing offers but did so while staying within our budget. Through escrow, Katie and her team were outstanding, responsive, proactive, and supportive every step of the way. They provided regular updates, answered our countless questions, and worked with the sellers to make sure we felt completely comfortable. If we had questions about vendors or contractors, Katie and her team always had trusted recommendations ready, which made the entire process even smoother. What stood out most was how Katie made us feel throughout the process. She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly thoughtful. Never once did we feel like she or her team were too busy for us. In fact, Katie made us feel like we were their only clients. Her genuine care turned what could have been a stressful milestone into an exciting and joyful experience. We cannot imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else. Katie is more than an incredible agent, she is a trusted advocate, a thoughtful professional, and together with her amazing team, someone we will recommend wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. read more

We absolutely loved working with Katie. We walked into an open house not even planning to move for a couple of years, but we fell in love with the home and decided to move quickly. Katie jumped right in and guided us through every step of the process--even with a tight 21-day close. She was professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire experience. She has a great way of explaining each step clearly so we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. She was present at our inspection and even met contractors at the house on our behalf when our schedules were too hectic. Her help made the whole process so much easier for us. Katie's personal touches also meant a lot--showing up with coffees for us and a frappuccino for our daughter. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and truly wants what's best for them. We couldn't have found a better realtor and strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She's a truly genuine person, and we feel so lucky to have worked with her! read more

Katie was absolutely fantastic to work with. Katie is patient, kind, and will seamlessly guide you through the complex process of buying a home. What we loved most about working with Katie was her vision. She really helps paint the picture of what a home can be. She's also very honest and will tell you what she thinks. She also put no pressure on us ever which made it much easier to know when we found the right home. I highly recommend working with Katie read more

Katie was so easy to connect with right from the start! We moved from WA and needed to find a realtor in the SD area. Our realtor in WA referred us to Katie and we never looked back. She was so flexible with the whole process. We are a family of four, with two toddlers and she accommodated us so well. She now holds a special place in our family and will forever be "Auntie Katie". She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of putting together a strong offer, which truly helped us stand out among other offers. She also ensured there was always someone available to show houses on a short notice, so we never missed out on an opportunity in this competitive market. She is now our go-to for all real estate needs! read more

Katie was an amazing realtor and we had a great experience. She's incredibly responsive, detail oriented, attentive, and compassionate. She knew all the tricks to market us as strong buyers and give us an edge over other buyers and cash offers in this competitive market. She made the entire process memorable and special. We found our perfect home in less than a month and we will absolutely be using Katie the next time around when we upgrade to a larger home. read more

We just completed our fourth and fifth transactions with Katie, and this time it was a successful 1031 exchange on an investment property! These exchanges aren't for the faint of hearted, and have to adhere to strict deadlines, but Katie made it so easy. Our original property was on the market and under contract in a week, and she negotiated the furniture to be sold outside escrow too, which made the process of securing our replacement property super straightforward! We've gone from a decent condo in Mission Valley to a super cute cottage one block from the water in Ocean Beach in a matter of weeks! We can't wait to get back in the real estate game in a couple years and wouldn't work with anyone else! Thank you Katie and team!! read more

Katie Herrick - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Coronado, California

I am so happy that I was referred to Katie and her team as I really don't know what I would've done without her and her teams help! Given the competitive market, Katie was always available to go on tours, sending me properties that fit my criteria, and even had a trick or two when it came to getting the attention of a seller. I appreciate her not only being my realtor but also a friend who's looking out for my best interests. I was able to purchase my first home, in none other than Little Italy! Thank you Katie! read more

I've been a Realtor for the last 24 years, from another state, and I'm VERY picky about my Realtor! We just finished our 3rd transaction with Katie Herrick! Why? Because she is extraordinary! She's knowledgable, patient, creative and solutions oriented. Plus, she has great negotiating skills! We have total and complete trust and confidence in Katie. She has represented us as a seller's agent and buyer's agent. Katie is the best of the best! Thank you Katie for another fabulous transaction. We are super happy with our purchase!!! Kate & Don read more

Katie and team were super responsive any time we had questions or wished to rush to see a home. Katie is super patient and explains all options very clearly and with patience. In this market and at our price point we were always competing with multiple offers. Katie's negotiation skills were instrumental in helping us beat 20 offers and land us our first home! read more

I had the privilege to work with Katie on the purchase of my first home in Point Loma. I have been working at Compass (Katie's Brokerage) for over 3 years, and I have access to a large network of real estate agents, and transparently could have chosen any of my fellow colleagues to be my real estate agent. After navigating a very competitive market, and working through complex negotiations on multiple properties, I know I made the correct decision in putting my trust in Katie. One thing I really appreciated throughout the process is how Katie truly took the time to intently listen to what my desires and aspirations were for my first home. From there, she was extremely honest and upfront, and helped to identify appropriate properties that checked all of our boxes while fitting within our price range. She was not trying to oversell, and always put my best interests first. Given how competitive the market is, we were commonly battling 15-20 offers on each property. Katie was patient, transparent, and was very creative with the offers to assure we were always coming in competitively, but within reason. After going through the search process for 3 months, and putting offers on multiple properties, we finally found 'the one', which was a Private Exclusive off-market listing with Compass. We were the first group to see the property, and I told Katie I wanted to do whatever we needed to do to get our offer accepted. She was nimble, quick on her feet, and worked closely with the listing agent to assure we were going to get our offer accepted. She helped to craft a really competitive offer, and it was accepted on the first round with no counters! I'm so happy I chose to put my trust in Katie for my first home purchase. She went above and beyond her responsibilities as an agent, and made the search and purchase process so incredibly seamless. Her communication throughout the process was second to none, and she is the best advisor I could have asked for. I highly recommend working with Katie if you are looking to buy or sell your home. You won't regret it! read more

Allow Katie to provide you the red carpet treatment! Her and her team are skilled and experienced at both selling and buying homes. They are side by side with you through the whole process in achieving your goals. Their strategy and execution delivered beyond our family's expectations!!! read more

Katie listed our condo and we were under contract in 3 days with a full offer. She was so awesome and completely professional. She was such a pleasure to work with and felt completely a ease. It was such a easy transaction and would highly recommend her. Katie is so laid back and makes the process so relaxed and her staff were wonderful to work with. Joanne P read more

We had the BEST experience buying our first home with Katie (and her team) as our realtor! We met Katie at an open house as we were starting our home search and connected with her right away. She spent a generous amount of time chatting with us, getting to know us, and getting an idea of where we were on our home buying process. She gave great advice and followed up that first interaction with an incredibly thoughtful and detailed email connecting us to a mortgage broker and beginning our process together. That same day, we made our way to 5 other open houses and chatted with those realtors as well; however, Katie by far made the best impression, really took the time to connect with us, and we felt that she was incredibly trustworthy and experienced in real estate.   From then on, we were so excited to work with Katie to find our first home! We were so impressed with her prompt communication and the way she thoroughly explained the entire process to us, especially since we were first time home buyers. We never felt pressured or like we couldn't ask questions that came up for us. We had a great day touring about 5 different homes with Katie, and ended up putting in an offer, that was eventually accepted, at one of those homes. Throughout this process, we could sense that Katie truly had our best interest in mind, which was very important for us to recognize and feel.   Katie and her team were on it in terms of communication, not only with us but with the seller's agent, our mortgage company, and even the providers who came for the home inspection and appraisal. Katie and her team truly made this process SO easy, stress-free, and enjoyable. We could not have asked for a more personable, kind, driven, passionate, and expert-level realtor to work with. We would recommend Katie and her team to ANYONE looking to buy, especially those first-time buyers who may feel a bit overwhelmed with the process. read more

Our family had the pleasure of working with Katie and her team on the initial purchase and the recent sale of our first home. Katie expertly navigated both transactions with a willingness to educate and address all of our questions and concerns throughout the process. She was especially creative in her approach to marketing and pricing the property given the unprecedented market activity during COVID-19. In anticipation of our next home purchase, I've also been able to leverage Katie's familiarity and wealth of knowledge about the greater San Diego community in addition to her niche expertise around Coronado Island. Katie's warmth and personality make the home buying and sale process enjoyable and I always recommend her to friends and colleagues in the greater San Diego area. read more

Katie and her team are absolutely Amazing. We were first time home buyers and Katie explained everything in great detail over our initial web visit, answering all of our questions. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process and listened to all of our needs. She knew the market in all the areas we were interested in and was up front and honest on what she believed was required to get the house. She also always made herself or one of her teammates available to show houses to us even on extremely short notice. Thanks to Katie we are living in our dream house and loving it. The whole experience was soo enjoyable and we couldnt ask for a better realtor to work with. We would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone buying or selling their house. read more

Katie and her team are one of the best real estate realtor teams that we were fortunate to work with from May 2022 - March 2023. We purchased our first home in 1985 in IL and since then had worked with several very good realtors in OH, FL, MN and SC purchasing more than 15 properties. Working with Katie was truly a pleasant experience, and we categorically recommend her. Katie is highly professional, experienced, very patient, and exceptionally trustworthy. In early 2022, we decided to make our first CA real estate investment after our son moved to San Diego area. Our son met Katie in person at one of her open houses in early May 2022 while we met her virtually at the same time and shared with her our plan for purchasing a hometown in Carlsbad. We informed her that since we are not familiar with the southern CA real estate market this journey may take a long time. May be a year or so. Her response was she will find us what we are looking for no matter how long it takes. We met Katie in August 2022 when visiting our son to scout the area for a proper location that would be suitable for our needs. From our first interaction, we were impressed with Katie's approach when she started to prob us to understand our needs and expectations in order to provide us with best advice and ideas, which indicated that she would be looking out for our best interest! Right before thanksgiving, we put an offer on a very nice townhome that was accepted, began the purchasing process, but ultimately decided to withdraw our offer because we just were not very excited about this property. Katie totally understood our concern and said she wants us to buy property that we are truly excited about it. As a result, our search continued. Finally, in January 2023 my son and Katie toured a property that he was excited about the location since July 2022. This was the one we were looking for. Placed an offer, after Katie's skillful negotiation, our offer was accepted and in less than 3 weeks we closed the deal. Through the entire 10-month journey Katie, with her positive attitude and expertise worked hard with us to find a property that met all our criteria, location, floorplan, amenities and excellent value. To summarize our journey with Katie, we found her impressively experienced, skilled, and detailed oriented communicator! She is very pleasant and personable to work with! Her positive attitude and encouragements always eased the stressful time of this process! Katie genuinely cares to deliver the best experience to her clients! We highly recommend Katie and her team who will go above and beyond their duties to make the transaction so amazingly enjoyable, smooth and flowless process. We are looking forward to working with Katie and her team to make our 2nd southern CA real estate investment property in the near future. Kobie, Cam and Saeed read more

We reached out to Katie mid pandemic to help sell our house. She was able to quickly get comps and pricing ideas together for us and an easy to read book she put together. It was really nice to have reference of homes in the area that were for sale and an idea of where we should list the house. Katie was not pushy when it came to our list price and we got what we were looking for in two weeks! Katie was always available for any questions we had along the way.

Katie is hands down the best realtor we've ever worked with! She knows the entire San Diego region very well, including the more desirable and less desirable individual pockets in the more urban areas. She is a great communicator and is quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls. Katie is a master negotiator, she knows the correct time to push and pull in negotiations, all while working very well with other agents. As a buyer, having Katie as our realtor, during a seller's market, saved us tens of thousands of dollars. By following her suggestions step by step during the buying process, not only did we beat out multiple other offers on our new property in Point Loma, but she was able to masterfully renegotiate the contract after inspections revealed some major repairs that were needed. During the home buying process, Katie was with us every step of the way, was honest and trustworthy, and gave us the best contacts in the industry to help us navigate the repairs needed on the home. All in all, Katie is a top-notch realtor! If you tend to go for the best when looking for professional services, Katie is it! read more
