Katy was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, and moved to Wilmington in 2016. While she loved the charm of her hometown and the proximity to Washington, D.C., she grew up vacationing in Coastal Carolina and always dreamed of living at the beach. 

 

Katy received her undergraduate degree and her Masters in Business Administration from the University of Virginia. After working for several years in the buying offices of a department store chain, she went back to school and received her Master’s in Business Administration from the Darden School of Business. 

 

Katy gained valuable business experience working in brand management, marketing and executive education in both D.C. and New York for 15+ years. It wasn’t until her first experience buying a home that Katy realized how complex the process could be, and the importance of having someone with experience and compassion by your side. She first obtained her real estate license in 2005 and quickly fell in love with guiding her clients through the home buying and selling process. 

 

Katy’s prior real estate experience, combined with her business background and love of working with people, has made her a well-rounded asset to the Lanier Property Group team.

 

As a buyer’s agent Katy is known to scour the market for opportunities that could be overlooked by other agents. As a very organized person, she helps buyers get through the due diligence process with ease and professional guidance. 

 

As a listing agent Katy goes to great lengths to make sure her listings sell for top dollar by pricing appropriately and negotiating hard when needed.  She is always looking for creative solutions for her clients and win-win scenarios in her transactions.

 

Outside of real estate, Katy stays busy volunteering for her children’s schools and cheering on her kids (Anika, Emmy, and Will) and her husband (Greg) at various sporting events around Wilmington.  The family also treasures their time out on the water - whether tubing, fishing or simply exploring the islands, they love the boating life! If Katy ever gets a moment of true downtime, you’ll find her curled up with a good book – preferably poolside or in the sand!

​

In addition to their primary residence, Katy and Greg also own a vacation rental property in Wrightsville Beach.
