What clients say

“Katie Gay was amazing to work with! We sold our home in 2023 and found a new one with perfect timing. She negotiated a leaseback so we had extra time if we needed it to get things in order to move. She consistently made sure she was ready to go to bat for us if needed, and made sure we were comfortable with the process. She gave us expert advice on the sale of our old home and helped with staging. We were under contract in only a few days with 5 offers! With the purchase of our next home, she offered excellent advice on things we wouldn't have thought of in terms of neighborhood and things that increased or decreased the value of our big investment. I always recommended her to friends.”

“Where do we even begin?! Katie and her team have been a god send in our journey of buying and selling a home. No stone left unturned, no question unanswered, day and night and even weekends she never stopped out performing our expectations! She has made this process an absolute breeze even when we were uncertain her confidence never wavered and with resounding perseverance we were able to get the job done and in mind blowing time! Let this be a warning of awesomeness! If you need to buy a home in the DFW please I highly encourage you to reach out to Katie and her team and I promise you that you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Katie you are an absolute rockstar!! 10 out of 10 we do recommend Katie and her team!! Mr. & Mrs. White”

“I highly recommend Katie Gay as a realtor! We moved from California to Texas at the end of 2022, and Katie made the transition seamless. She first helped us secure a short-term rental while we sold our home in California, which gave us the flexibility we needed. Once we were ready to buy, Katie found us the perfect home just down the street from our rental, allowing us to keep our kids in the same schools. The new home is everything we hoped for, it fits all of our needs and even has a swimming pool as a bonus! Katie went above and beyond throughout the entire process, always making sure we were informed and comfortable. It’s important to understand that Real Estate transactions differ in Texas compared to California and Katie knew exactly what to prepare us for. Now almost two years later, Katie still keeps in touch keeping us updated on market trends and has also become a friend. We won’t hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in the market to sell or buy a new home!”

“Katie was awesome! She helped us stage our house to get multiple offers. Other homes in our neighborhood sat on the market for months and Katie was able to negotiate multiple offers and we sold for above list price.”

“Katie was truly a blessing! When my husband and I decided to do a cross country move from the East Coast we were very overwhelmed in the beginning of our home search, once we were referred to Katie by our East Coast realtor the stress and unease melted away. Katie was there every step of the way from our first phone call, to arriving in TX hitting the ground running, making a hectic week of house searching enjoyable. She is extremely knowledgeable about the DFW area and knew the best areas that were and weren’t on our radar. She took every request/concern we had and in turn made our home search that much more productive. In the end we purchased our first home together in a wonderful quiet neighborhood and couldn’t be happier. If you are in need of a honest, reliable, caring, and supportive realtor who will go above and beyond the Katie is the person for you.”

“Katie went above and beyond to make sure I had the best home buying experience! I am a first time home buyer and I was buying from out of state. Katie was so communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to tour houses for me and send me in depth videos. She answered all of my questions and empowered me to make the best decision. She also had a guy for everything, which was super valuable to me! I knew she had people who she trusted to provide quality service for an appraisal, plumbing evaluation, handyman, etc. We have stayed connected after the closing process and she is happy to help with whatever issues I have had come up since moving in. Katie has provided an excellent full service experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped me find a tenant for my rental property and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was kind, understanding, and incredibly responsive throughout. She truly went above and beyond — from marketing the property, staging it beautifully, to keeping me informed every step of the way and finding a great tenant. It was clear she genuinely cared and wasn’t just doing the minimum. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and compassionate real estate agent.”

“Moving from out of state, Katie was so amazing to work with and helped us pinpoint which area would be perfect for our family. Katie was super responsive, communicative, transparent and flexible to our schedule when it came to house showings. Katie is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend to anyone!”

“Our family had the most amazing experience working with Katie. The amount of knowledge, patience, and all around helpfulness was far and beyond our expectations. The entire experience was not only comfortable but also very enjoyable. She is of great assistance with any potential renovations. We look forward to staying friends with Katie and could not give her a better recommendation.”

“Katie is the best! She was patient and worked intensely and diligently to find us our forever home! We are so blessed and are absolutely in love that our family can grow and thrive in our new community. Thank you Katie!”

“Does your choice or Realtor matter? After all there are 8,300 Realtors in Collin County with equal access to MLS. And, with demand high and inventory low, how hard is a sale? We've worked with Katie Gay, Lori Vaden Group West on both a sale and purchase. You will not find a Realtor more attentive, more on top of opportunities, or smarter about how to package a sale, and negotiate a purchase. Highly, highly recommend Katie. She's proof that, yes, your choice of Realtor matters.”

“My wife and I were first time homebuyers, and Katie helped educate us as well as doing a fantastic job of selecting houses to show that met our wish list. We were blown away with how easy to work with Katie is, and she helped us find our dream starter home in only 2 weeks. I would recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy or sell.”

“Katie was a huge help to us when we moved to the area. She was able to help us find a great rental in a very tough market area. Katie helped us with the rental paperwork and made sure everything was just right. We couldn't have made the move to the Justin/Fort Worth area without Katie's help! We highly recommend Katie and plan to use her when we look at buying a house in the area!”

“Katie is amazing. We were very lucky to find her as an agent while attempting to downsize. We wanted to sell our old home and buy a new home. During the process she was fantastic and answered alot of questions as we tried to navigate a difficult housing market. We then used a program she recommended called Compass Concierge which provided a loan to remodel the old house before listing it. We closed on both houses on the same day which required a lot of coordination. She kept meticulous notes during the entire process which allowed us to focus on more decision making. I felt as though Katie was not just a realtor but a partner in our home search journey. She is extremely professional and made a difficult process so much easier. She has a great team behind her at Compass who we worked with as well. Lori and Tasha were fantastic answering questions, providing guidance and staging the house for sale.”

“Katie was awesome helping us find our rental home! We could not have been able to move from Houston to Justin. Katie jumped right in and got us the house we with the land we needed for our animals. I could not recommend her enough.”

“Katie helped my wife and I find our first home at a time when it was particularly difficult to buy and helped us to navigate what would have otherwise been a difficult process. She made it easy and enjoyable. And perhaps what we appreciated the most is that she stayed patient from beginning to end, never pressuring us any step of the way. We appreciated that, we loved working with her, we consider her a friend, and we'll certainly be reaching out to Katie again if it comes time to relocate.”
