Welcome! I’m Katey – your connection-driven, compassion-centered Realtor.
For 18 years, I worked as a board-certified music therapist, serving hospitalized adults through Iowa Healthcare. My passion was always rooted in listening deeply, practicing empathy, and helping people feel seen and valued. Those same core values—connection, compassion, and care—now guide me in every step of my work in real estate.
My family and I relocated to Muscatine, where we quickly found ourselves at home in this vibrant community. We have two school-aged children who keep us busy and joyful, and we’re actively involved in their school and local activities. I’ve also reconnected with music as a hobby and sing with the Muscatine Civic Chorale—continuing a lifelong love that began at Wartburg College, where I majored in music therapy and music education. I was a proud member of the Wartburg Choir, touring internationally to places like Europe and South Africa—experiences that shaped my understanding of people, cultures, and connection.
As your Realtor, I’ll bring my full self—hardworking, creative, empathetic, and detail-oriented. I will guide you through the often emotional process of buying or selling a home with patience, integrity, and heart. My background has prepared me to support people from all walks of life, and I tailor the real estate experience to meet your individual needs.
Married to an accountant, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of making smart financial decisions—yes, even if that sometimes means setting aside the “pretty” for the practical! But don't worry—my creative side is always ready to help you see the potential in a space and turn it into something beautiful.
Whether you're looking for your dream home, preparing to sell, or just want to chat over pour-over coffee, I’d love to connect. Let’s make something great happen together.
A portion of each of my transactions is returned to the community through your choice of donation to the Muscatine County Arts Council or The Musser Public Library.
