As a long time Mortgage Banker/Broker, I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with most of the top Real Estate professionals in the Austin metropolitan area. It is with no reservation and with great enthusiasm that I would recommend Katherine Brooks for any kind of real estate representation. I have known and worked with Katherine for over 7 years, and hold her in very high regard both personally and professionally. Katherine is a very seasoned, ethical agent. She is also very progressive in thought in marketing and advertising and would be an excellent choice for any kind of real estate representation.

Dear Kat:As we approach our 4th anniversary in Austin I was reflecting back on our journey here from China and what a huge role you played in helping us to settle in this great city. Your tireless energy on behalf of your clients is unique and refreshing. While our Sirva relocation recommendation to you was random I wanted to help you tell perspective clients directly about our experience with the Kat Brooks Team so they have at least one reference from an extremely satisfied and grateful client.All executives are busy people and when caught in the turmoil of changing jobs and relocating to a different city, or continent in our case, the normal pace can become frenzied. But you made yourself available on a moment’s notice and fit your time to ours. In hindsight knowing that you cut your vacation short to come back to Austin to show us houses with one day notice was truly above and beyond. But the best part of the experience was your openness to showing us a lot of different places while all the time guiding us to where you thought we would be happiest as you got to know us. Settling in Barton Creek worked out perfectly. Vicki and I were able to meet new friends and be active from the first day we arrived based on your recommendation. Your “full service” approach also made the actual buying experience incredibly painless. From the initial negotiations thru the inspections and the paperwork you were there prepared, detail oriented, and in charge. We have bought and sold five houses and this one was by far the best experience for us. So thank you for your help and your subsequent friendship and make sure that if you ever need a reference you can count on us.Michael

Paige and I wanted to personally thank Kat for helping us with our relocation to Austin, TX. Not only is Kat a fabulous realtor, but a wonderful resource, tour guide and most importantly a friend. Kat’s expertise, kindness, flexibility and true understanding of our needs made our home buying experience unbelievably effortless. Kat did such a wonderful job finding us the perfect home that unfortunately we will not need your services for the next few years-just kidding. If you ever need a recommendation from us, please feel free to call. Thanks again for your never-ending professionalism.

I recently worked with Kat Brooks during my relocation. Kat worked tirelessly to identify a home that would meet my family’s needs. She went above and beyond in not only finding us a home but also several other vendors for services we needed. During the process she worked closely with me and my wife to communicate with our builder, our relocation company and the many service providers that you need when purchasing a newly built house. Kat is a customer-focused and highly motivated individual. As our realtor, she treated us like her only customer while I know she was working with multiple customers. Kat never failed to meet with us or respond to our questions in a timely fashion. With the move being a relocation, there were times I was traveling between markets that I needed to meet last minute or in very limited windows. On several occasions, she made calls for me while I was traveling to make certain that others were meeting their commitments during the process. All of this shows how Kat is willing to go above and beyond the normal expectations. Even after we closed on the house, Kat has continued to stay in contact with our family to ensure we are making the transition to a new city. Her knowledge of the area has been invaluable to my family as we search for replacement services. Kat’s willingness to help us find entertainment, restaurants, and post construction services is a testament to her high level of customer service. I would highly recommend Kat Brooks as a Realtor. Her professionalism and customer service are outstanding. I have referred, and will continue to refer, people to Kat because I am certain they will have the same positive experience I have.

Kat's expertise, kindness, flexibility and true understanding of our needs made our home buying experience unbelievably effortless, wrote former client Marc Sachs in a recent testimonial.

In addition to her career, Kat finds great enjoyment in giving back to the community that has given her so much.

She also served on the Boards for the Texas Hill Country Food & Wine Festival, Any Baby Can, and The Long Center for the Performing Arts. Each of these organizations provided me with new and challenging experiences that have translated into an acute awareness of the ever-changing events scene here in Austin, Kat explains. As a treasured community volunteer, Kat Brooks is able to help Austin continue to grow into the vibrant city it is becoming and immerse herself in the communities she loves.
