I've worked with Katie twice, and will definitely work with her a third time, if I move again. Most recently, I was looking to buy a townhome in a specific neighborhood, where there are not a lot of options. She networked with other local agents, contacted current owners and went above and beyond to be the first to know when something was coming on the market. While waiting for the right place to come on the market, she patiently showed me multiple other places, graciously understanding when they weren't what I had my heart set on. We worked together for a year before I found the right place, and she never pressured me to make a decision or settle for something that wasn't right for me. Once we found a place, she has a team of experts ready to help- her team enabled me to submit an offer with a very aggressive closing date, to meet the sellers preference. I was able to close in three weeks using her recommended team and the process was made simple and easy. read more

I first met Katie 10 years ago when she was the seller's agent for the house I was buying. I was impressed with her customer focus and creativity to address any issues. Fast forward 10 years when I decided to downsize, sell my house and move to a condo, I knew I wanted to work with Katie. What a great experience I had!

Katie was referred to me by a good friend who said "I wouldn't buy real estate with anyone other than Katie." As usual, this friend was correct in every way. Katie was always there to answer my calls, helped my husband and I navigate the difficulty of selling and buying at the same time, and went above and beyond to get our house ready for listing while we were away on vacation. She is a trusted partner and I will only refer her to anyone looking for an agent. She's not pushy, will give you her honest opinion, she's never looking for the quick sale, but for your best interest. I will only be working with her for my real estate needs in the future. She got us above asking on the home we sold (which set a record for our neighborhood) and got us the best possible deal on the home we purchased, even when we were fine with the closing costs, she still managed to save us an extra 2K! read more

Katie is an amazing realtor and person. She helped me sell my DC condo and purchase my dream house in Loudoun County at the same time. She is patient, calm, gives you tons of information and context, and lots of advice if you ask for it (though she's not at all pushy and gives you space to make your own calls, too). She was always available to answer emails and texts in a patient way (and in English, instead of realtor-speak). Her associate Liz was so great too. I felt really supported and understood throughout the entire process. Can't recommend Katie highly enough! read more

My fiancé and I just closed on our first house and went with Katie at a recommendation from a family friend and we couldn't be more satisfied with our decision. From walking us through the entire process step by step to helping us navigate the feeding frenzy of the current market, Katie's experience and professionalism helped us secure a beautiful home. Katie showed us dozens of homes and helped us put together several offers before one was finally accepted.

Additionally, a variety of thoughtful personal touches made it clear why she's one of the most awarded realtors in the region. We would wholeheartedly recommend Katie (and her excellent team!) to anyone looking to purchase a home in the DMV area. read more

Once an agreement was reached, she made getting through the closing and final details a smooth and easy process. I highly recommend her. read more

The first word that comes to mind when describing Katie Loughney is "trust." Our family had complete trust in her when purchasing our first home, and she delivered. We didn't think twice about the process, paperwork, and legal matters, since she had that covered, and it helped us focus on simply finding the right home. Katie is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and responsive - we knew that we would hear from her quickly if I had a question.

We were recommended her by friends of ours, and we are happy to pass along the recommendation to others! read more

I first met Katie in 2015 through friends and coworkers, who Katie had recently helped purchase their first home. I met with Katie and instantly knew why my friends had referred her. In the 5 years I've known her, she has helped me buy two condos and sell one and I never feel pressured. Katie is incredibly knowledgeable, reliable and honest. She will give her opinion, but makes it clear that this decision is so personal and takes times. She never rushes a decision but works to ensure her clients have all the information to make the best informed decision for themselves. During the two times I bought a condo with Katie, she was incredibly responsive and helped to find the right home for me in a relatively short amount of time (2-4 months) and each time I knew I made the right decision for me. My condo was under contract within 5 days and Katie's marketing, staging and photos made a huge difference and I'm so glad she was there to help me through all these big decisions. I look forward to working with Katie in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her! read more

It was such a pleasure working with Katie to find and purchase our house!

Her knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and reasonableness were evident from the start. She represented our interests and interactions with the seller with true professionalism. We highly recommend Katie as a partner in residential real estate transactions. read more

Katie sold our old house for us. We had already bought a new one, so we needed to sell the old one fast. When we met with Katie for the first time, she had lots of data and gave us three different price points to choose from (based on her research). We chose one of the lower points hoping that it would sell fast - Katie pinned the market perfectly, our house sold (with multiple offers) in under a week. We also needed to upgrade the bathroom before we sold - Katie brought in a stager to help with reasonably priced suggestions, she also met with the handyman with us. She even helped us pick out fixtures at Home Depot. Basically, she was there for every step of the process, both helping us make decisions and assuring that we met deadlines. I could not have asked for a better realtor, I HIGHLY recommend working with her. read more

Katie was terrific. She's someone you can trust. We were first time home buyers and she walked us through the process carefully and thoughtfully.

We truly appreciated Katie as our realtor and would strongly recommend her. read more

Katie is amazing! Very friendly, calm, inquisitive, with a keen eye for details, and willing to go the extra mile!

Non-local buyers have a lot of "barriers" while looking for a house in a different location, and Katie accommodated us in every possible way. We recommend Katie to anyone! read more

Katie was everything I could ask for in an agent. She had deep knowledge of the home buying process and of the area in which we were searching. Throughout the process, her knowledge of local vendors - lenders, inspectors, painters, movers, etc. - proved to be invaluable and made the process all the more smoother. Most importantly, her demeanor makes a complicated and stressful exercise a lot more pleasant. She is calm, patient, and takes a measured approach to make sure her client arrives at the right outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend her and will certainly use her again if the opportunity arises. read more

To say Katie is an amazing real estate agent is an understatement. We could not more highly recommend her. As first time home buyers, she walked us through every step and made it a seamless journey. Katie is incredibly organized and responsive; if we had a question we heard back almost immediately every time, and her team was always on top of paperwork and deadlines. She had trustworthy contacts for everything we needed, from a lender to inspector. I think what is most unique about Katie is that she truly cares about her clients, which is evident from the beginning to the end of the process. We feel so lucky to have had her for our first time home buying experience and can't wait to work with her in the future. read more

Katie Loughney is truly the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. She found us a house within our price range in a seller's market when virtually nothing was coming on the market. She sold our condo to a buyer that offered to sign a contract "sight unseen" before it hit the market. Her advice was spot on and she knew exactly what the right selling price was and how to negotiate the best price for our purchase. She was in constant communication with us and responded quickly and patiently to all our questions. Katie seems to have very good relationships with her peers, which we're sure was helpful in negotiations. We were out of the country in the middle of the sale of our condo and she made sure everything went smoothly, which lifted a big weight off of our shoulders. Even after the sale and purchase, we have kept in touch and Katie has helped us with referrals for work in our new house. She truly cares about her clients and we are so appreciative of everything she's done for us. We very highly recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! read more
