Meet the REALTOR®
Hello and thank you for visiting my website! I'm Katie Yaddof, and I look forward to helping you with your real estate needs! Please read on to find out a little bit more about my life and my work in real estate. How I Got Started
I began my real estate career journey in 2015. At that time I was recruited to manage the office at a small real estate brokerage. Within my first
week there, I realized that helping clients market their properties in the real estate industry was a perfect fit for me! I love the learning opportunities that arise daily as technology progresses, the economy changes and the market shifts. I took classes to become a licensed real estate agent, in order to help people more comprehensively with the purchase and/or sale of their property. Since those beginning days, I have been helping clients beautify, purchase and sell properties. Education and Other Work Experience
Prior to practicing real estate, I had obtained my BA in Psychology in 2010 at Coe College and my MBA with a specialization in Marketing in 2011 at Ashford University. Throughout the years I have worked in various fields - including insurance, administrative staffing services, automobile sales, floral & botanical design, interior design, renewable energy and event sales. I am truly grateful for all of the experiences that I have had and lessons I have learned. They help me to better serve clients from all walks of life. Property Staging & Redesign
My creative passions and love for nature, combined with my strategic work in the real estate industry have led me to become intrigued by property presentation, staging and design. I have found that there are many simple and inexpensive ways to draw more potential buyers in, thus helping owners to sell their property at a higher price point. Home staging and design is not to be underestimated, whether we are economically in a seller’s market or a buyer’s market. Room Revival Designs
My interest in home staging led me to start my own business, Room Revival Designs, focusing on property staging and redesign. In addition to providing a market analysis and market report for clients who list their property with me, I also include home staging as a complimentary service for them! I stage residential properties, commercial properties, and short and long term rental properties. I enjoy helping investment property owners crunch the numbers and find ways to increase their profit margin by redesigning, staging, marketing and pricing their property more strategically. What Lies Beneath
While the appearance of a property matters greatly, it is vital to also pay attention to structural and health factors when reviewing potential properties to purchase. Throughout my time and experience in real estate sales, I understand the necessity of identifying structural benefits and red flags. The more that I can help my clients become more knowledgeable on these topics, the more likely we are to resolve potential issues prior to closing. I am a proponent of having homes inspected by a professional home inspector prior to transferring the property. If I do not know the answer a specific question that is outside of my own field of expertise (i.e. major structural, electrical, plumbing, or pest questions), I have an extensive list of other professionals in the area who I am able to help clients connect with. My Personal Life
In my free time I love spending time making memories with my family and our pets. I love being outside enjoying nature, exploring new places, traveling, singing and playing music, creating art, and spending time with family and friends. It is important to me to keep a good work/life balance so that I can be my best "me" for everyone in my life. I am enjoying this roller coaster journey of life and keep a positive outlook on what the future holds! With all of that said, I am always more than happy to assist clients when they reach out with questions and/or concerns. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions about buying, selling or staging a property. I look forward to helping you with your real estate needs!
