I remember being four years old, and it was lunchtime in the Kolakowski household. I’d sit my mom down at the kitchen table and produce a hand-drawn (I couldn’t write yet) picture menu with her lunch choices. She could pick from carrots, a peanut butter sandwich, cheese and crackers, or cookies and milk. She would tell me what she wanted. I would then go make it and deliver it back to her, grinning from ear to ear.
Serving has always been in my nature. After graduating from college, I went on to work in the restaurant industry and from there to various sales/negotiation positions in the fitness and race industry. One thing remained consistent—my love for people and the desire to serve them through kindness, truth, and honor. This type of sales technique has earned me awards and accolades throughout my career, as well as the respect and friendship of my peers and clients. I truly take on your real estate goals as if they are my own. My servant attitude may have started young, but it is something that I take great pride in today—serving you with your real estate needs.
Katie moved to Madison after previously living in Colorado and Virginia. She loves the outdoors and in her time off can ideally be found on the water or on the trails. She enjoys painting, cheering for the Packers, and hanging out with her family, boyfriend Dan, and her boxer-lab mix Millie. She is also a big believer of eating ice cream for dinner after a long day.

-Hafiz A. , Client
"We just closed on our house today and I couldn't write this review quick enough! Katie is EXCEPTIONAL and I couldn't possibly recommend her more. She is a great fit, especially for first-time home buyers like us. Katie is communicative, encouraging, patient, accessible, and consistently 3 steps ahead! She met us where we were at every step of the way and walked us through the emotional highs and lows that come throughout the process. Katie is also very well-liked in the community so was able to connect us with other incredible folks including cleaners, roofers and a mortgage lender. I truly cannot recommend her high enough!"
-Savanna S. , Client
"Katie was incredible from start to finish. Her vibe definitely meshed perfectly with mine. She was quick to respond with helpful information. She supported me in many ways throughout the entirety of the process. Couldn't have asked for a better advocate. Even after closing she is always there for questions, chatting or parties. "
