Katherine joined the PEI real estate association in February 2012. She finds that the market has changed a lot since then as we were definitely on a buyers market at that point. Somewhere near the end of 2017, there was a real change and can most definitely say we are in a sellers market now. Through the years, Katherine has mainly worked as a country realtor. She loves people and the wonderful sense of community that comes with country living!
Katherine is very grateful to once again be awarded the International President’s Circle Award.
If you are thinking of buying or selling this year, you can contact Katherine at
(902) 439-9972.
