About Kate Godwin

Kate has been in real estate for twenty-three years, long enough to know that most of the hard part isn't the house. It's the story people carry about money — where they set their ceiling, what they think they're allowed to want, which advice they absorbed young and never questioned. She's interested in all of it, and she'll ask.

She thinks about a client's moves on a long timeline. Sometimes that means buying. Sometimes it means the work is to stay put. What it always means is not making a decision this large on emotion, because those are the ones that cost the most in the end.

She's lived in Grant Park for twenty-five years, in a historic house she loves like a member of the family, and has three kids now starting to leave it. She cooks, and she'll feed you. She plays contact sports with more enthusiasm than is strictly advisable, takes long road trips, and is still changing her mind about things, on purpose. Old wonky rescue dogs are her greatest weakness.

Kate is a cheerleader with staying power — hers is the number clients still have in their phone a decade or two later.
