House hunting, house hacking, home improvement, and real estate for reality.
Welcome to Realty Check by Kate Ziegler!
Kate is a Realtor, real estate investor, and entrepreneur. Born and raised on a farm in rural Pennsylvania, she has lived and worked in Boston for more than 15 years. She now splits her time between offices in Boston, MA and New London, NH, and stands at the ready to guide urban buyers to their rural escapes.
Kate started her career in legal operations and corporate property management. The daughter of a contractor, Kate grew up on construction sites, roofing and framing alongside her father and grandfather; she now applies that experience to owning and managing multi-family properties in Boston, and renovating her home in New Hampshire along with her partner, Jack Romano. Kate helps clients across Greater Boston and New Hampshire's Lakes Region buy and sell homes that fit their unique needs and achieve their goals in a rapidly shifting market.
Kate is a basement expert for Apartment Therapy, and has also been featured in the Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, Realtor.com, Discover's Modern Money, Citi's Life and Money, and Reader's Digest. She is a house whisperer, partial to old bones, and loves helping clients solve the mysteries and uncover the histories of their homes.
