Buying a home from across the country is challenging no matter who your agent is, but Katie made it as easy as it could possibly be. When the Navy decided to move us on a very expedited timeline, she was responsive late at night when I texted from the West Coast, happily coordinated tours via FaceTime, and was capable of managing all our unique challenges. Having lived in Norfolk before, I already knew which neighborhoods we wanted to be in. But what Katie really brought to the table was clear expertise, an ability to intuitively understand what I was looking for, and an incredibly strong professional reputation. The second that anything came up, she always had an expert in her contacts that she could call in a favor with. Watching the Home Inspector and the Termite/Moisture Inspector interact with her, it became clear that there was a level of respect and trust that she's built up in her professional circles over the years. That is something that just can't be replaced or replicated. When we found out we were moving to Norfolk, a Real Estate friend immediately recommended Katie Howlett as the agent we needed to work with–evidence that her professional reputation extends even beyond the Hampton Roads community. We look forward to being not just her clients, but her neighbors and friends for years to come.

We came to Katie with a very tight timeline and many moving parts. From the start, she was motivated to help us meet our buying and selling needs. Katie and her team went above and beyond to make sure that our family was settled in our new home in time to execute military orders. They communicated with us every step of the way to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.

This is the second time that we've used Katie as both the selling and buying agent. Her professionalism and knowledge are invaluable. She not only made it seamless but also fun. We love Katie.

Ashley was a breeze to work with. She did the heavy lifting as far as dealing with buyers, agents, and contractors, and we were able to comfortably sell our house for more than we listed it for, with relatively little stress.

Katie was amazing! She handled every detail, and I only had to send payments to subcontractors. Katie was judicious with her advice, and we ended up making significantly more money than we would have selling it ourselves. I am recommending her to everyone!

Ashley has been a joy to work with. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the market are always a great benefit when working with her. We will never use another real estate agent.

Katie was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, proactive, super efficient, friendly, and just what we needed to get the sale of my late brother’s home done in a timely manner. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch realtor.

This is the second time we have partnered with Katie to sell our home, and just like the first, it sold quickly due to her knowledge of the market, experience, and excellent understanding of staging the house in the best possible way. She is a delight to work with, and we will do so again if given the opportunity and would recommend her highly to friends and family.

Katie and her team are the best in the business. We have bought and sold multiple homes with her now, and we wouldn't think of looking elsewhere. She recently sold our house for well over what we expected. And when it comes to buying, her knowledge of local markets, negotiation, and buying processes is unmatched. Katie and Ashley always made sure someone was available to show us houses, give advice, or answer questions at any time. They've always gone above and beyond, and I could not recommend them highly enough. I know there are plenty of agents around Hampton Roads, but I would seriously stand in a long line or join a waitlist to work with Katie's team. You won't find the same combination of friendliness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism anywhere else.

Katie and Ashley were absolutely phenomenal. My wife and I are currently stationed in California, and they made the entire process incredibly easy from start to finish. No matter the time or day, they were always available and ready to help. They are extremely kind, knowledgeable, and have created a sense of community that already makes this place feel like home. We would recommend Katie and Ashley and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Working with our Katie was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind throughout the home-buying process. Her guidance made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We truly appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

First and foremost, Katie is an amazing human being. She also happens to be very talented as a real estate professional. She is a high-integrity individual who you know will be honest with you, and she has a unique combination of being very tough but also soft and relatable.
