As first time home buyers, we went into the process with so many questions and a lot to learn and Katy was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive every step of the way. What we appreciated most about Katy was how well she took the time to understand us -- not just what we were looking for in a house, but what we truly needed in a home. She educated us throughout the entire process, explained things in a way that was easy to understand, and always made us feel comfortable asking questions. Her easygoing personality made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience feel so much more manageable and enjoyable. Katy was also an incredible advocate for us. She consistently had our best interests in mind, guided us through difficult decisions, and made sure we felt informed and confident before moving forward.

Fantastic experience: I inherited a home along with my siblings, and Katy helped us through a months-long long period of issues with getting the house ready to list. There was a lot of work to do, but Katy patiently kept us on track with advice and assistance to keep moving forward. Although we weren’t actually ready to list until after the holidays, even with the government shut down, and the winter weather problematic, she dauntlessly kept the buyer proposals coming. Finally, at the end of February, we received an all-cash offer everyone was able to sign onto and Katy put in the all-important effort to get us over the finish line at settlement. I know this was not a “smooth” listing process, but I’m thankful for Katy’s patience and tenacity as well as her professionalism and support. Whether or not “smooth” is where you’re headed, Katy Donovan is your agent for all seasons!

Fantastic experience: Katy, helped us sell our townhouse in Lansdowne near Leesburg. I can't say enough good things about this woman.

Best experience I've had in my real estate dealings. Thanks Katy!!!

Fantastic experience: Katy is amazing. I’ve had a really bad experience in the past with an agent who was only thinking about his commission and not what I wanted.

We love our new home and our new state and Katy made that transition possible.

Fantastic experience: Katy provided 5 star expertise and service throughout our home buying journey. Her knowledge of the local market and national trends helped us consider broad options and then refine our search. Katy was calm and fun to "shop" for homes with, and never lost sight of our needs, preferences and our aggressive timeline. She devoted her weekends to us for 3 house hunting trips, never pressured us, provided excellent guidance on our offers, and we found our perfect home. Working with Katy and her team was an outstanding experience.

Fantastic experience: Katy did a spot on market assessment, told us exactly what we had to do to ready our home to get our price, did a Coming Soon campaign a couple of weeks before we went to market, held a one day open house and had us several very nice offers and under contract with the perfect buyers in less than a week.

Fantastic experience: Katy was great, and helped me through all of the hoops & hurdles to get a home ready to sell. She provided help through every stage of the process.

Fantastic experience: Katy Donovan went above and beyond what was expected of her. We lived in another state approximately 10 hours away from Leesburg, so it was extremely difficult for us to look at houses. Katy would drive by a house that we were interested in and take videos for us. She spent many hours checking out properties and gave us her honest feedback, as she knew what we were looking for. She would also meet our son to walk through homes, a lot of times it was on short notice. She always stayed positive during our search. Katy was extremely flexible with her schedule which helped tremendously. Moving from one state to another is not an easy task, but she worked with the agent that sold our house to coordinate a smooth passing. We highly, highly recommend Katy Donovan. She was TERRIFIC!!

Fantastic experience: Katy saw our home sale through this challenging time of economic woes and rising interest rates. She advised us in and out of several potential buyers to finally get our home sale closed. Katy always had our best interest at heart. We are grateful we chose her to be our realtor.

Fantastic experience: Sold house first day. Night before closing buyer's lender cancelled loan,; Katy worked super hard with the other agent as buyer got new loan. We closed two weeks later. Katy's photographer took amazing photos.

Fantastic experience: Katy did an outstanding job helping my husband and I buy our first home! She is so dedicated and thorough, always going above and beyond to make our house dreams come true. Katy was so responsive and accommodating to all our questions or concerns. She is very knowledgeable, which we really appreciated as first time home buyers (especially since we had a VA loan). Katy always had our best interest in mind and did everything she could to make sure we got the best house for our needs. I cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Katy; we recently sold our home, and interviewed several agents prior to choosing Katy. As someone who has sold multiple homes before, I appreciated that Katy did not make us sit through a presentation detailing the steps of the selling process when she understood that we were familiar with it already. During the listing/selling process, Katy was very easy to communicate with - responding quickly and knowledgably. When it came time to review offers, she presented them efficiently, gave her opinions on which one was the best - but ultimately left it up to us to make the final decision. Ultimately, selling your home is a business transaction, but one that always involves some level of emotion - Katy was respectful of both aspects. Overall, a very efficient AND thorough agent. Thank you again Katy!

Fantastic experience: Katy was extremely knowledgeable of the market and worked hard to make our sale process as smooth as possible. She walked us through each step and helped navigate us through the selling process. She always had our best interest in mind. Thank you Katy!

Fantastic experience: Katy recently assisted us in finding a house in Purcellville, VA- no easy task in this market. In less than 10 days, she not only found us a house, but found a new construction build that had fallen out of contract so we did not have to deal with the standard negotiations or bid over asking. Katy is the most empathetic, responsive, strategic, and pro-active realtor I have had the opportunity to work with. If you want someone who will treat you like a member of the family, Katy Donovan should be your realtor! She aided with home inspections, walk throughs, handled all aspects of preparation prior to us being up here to physically see the house, and should there be a curve ball of any kind- she has an extensive network of contacts to aid in addressing any possible issue that could arise. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend her. It is no surprise why she is a top-ranked realtor in this area. I would continue to use her in the future, and without a doubt would be my number 1 recommendation to any friends in the realtor hunt. 10/10!!!!

Fantastic experience: When I decided to sell my property in Brambleton Virginia, I have approached a company which ranks among the first three nationwide. Three weeks went by and had couple of showings with three open houses in three weeks. When things were not moving in the right direction, I reached out to the gent and asked for advice. To my surprise the solution that was offered was to lower the list price by $45K so we get more offers to choose one from. Having listed $15K less than the expected market price to start with, this advice was a shock to me. That's when I decided to go with a different company / agent. I remembered that a nearby property which I pass by during my every day walk was on sale only for a day and went under contract. Having noted the realtors’ details, I contacted her and she happens to be Katy Donovan from KELLERWILLAMS. The first question I asked her was what would she do different to sell my property. I straight away liked her when she told me three things. First, I should give the current realtor some more time to sell. Second, she would NOT lower the list price and third, will use her realtor connections to sell my property in a week. Having seen her sell the nearby property in a day it was not a tough choice to switch to her after giving additional time to the current realtor. As promised, she sold my property within a week, actually it was day four she told me we have a contract. She kept her promise. She was always available to talk even when we were under contract. She maintains excellent communications (call back time is within 15 minutes at the most when she is busy) Here is the best part. She supported all along until I received my sale proceeds. To name some, she helped me by referring to excellent technicians when I have to make some minor corrections that were observed during the home inspection. Then when I faced issues with HOA association not having / providing the required documents by the buyer's loan officer /under writer, she was right there doing a follow up every two hours with them. When the receipt of the sale proceeds was getting delayed, she was right there talking to the buyer's agent to expedite the process in addition to herself calling the settlement company. Katy is honest, active, aggressive, communicative, very knowledgeable and more than anything a very nice person. Knowing her is the best thing to happen to me during this whole property sale process. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Ajay

Fantastic experience: Absolutely a pleasure!!! As a first time home buyer, she didn’t hesitate to explain to me what the process was going to be like, set realistic exceptions and was very knowledgeable when explaining things to me! Being a veteran and working with a veteran, we were able to build a very honest business relationship and she took a lot of stress of home buying from me! Highly recommend you have Katy take care of you and you family when home searching.

Fantastic experience: It has been a long road to find a home my wife and I would call our retirement home. Eight months and 12 houses later we finally found that home. It was not an easy task to assist us, as we are very exacting and at times difficult because of our taste. Katy Donovan worked with us, and I mean worked! We are so appreciative of her patience and positive attitude that provided encouragement when we wanted to quit because of one reason or another. My wife and I have moved 10 times in 20 years and of those bought 4 homes and sold 3. Our experience in looking for issues during our long search combined with Katy's added professionalism and knowledge that only comes with experience and time in the field was a great formula for finding the perfect home. We are so fortunate to have found Katy and I would recommend her to anyone who desires a once in a life time home!

Fantastic experience: My home-buying experience with Katy was so easy and, quite honestly, fun. I actually miss browsing houses on the very convenient portal she set up for us right away. I really appreciated Katy’s helpfulness, professionalism, and especially her knowledge of the entire process. She was super responsive to my (many) questions and even consulted with others to make sure I had all the information I needed to make a sound decision. She also recommended a fantastic lender, who made the experience even more smooth and efficient. Most importantly, Katy made me feel at ease and like I was in very good hands. We hadn’t bought a house in 15+ years, and she was always eager to accommodate our needs, schedules, questions, and concerns. I would highly recommend Katy without hesitation to anyone buying a home in the Winchester area, and I look forward to working with her again if we decide to purchase a larger home in the future.

Fantastic experience: We sold our house with Katy Donovan's expert assistance for well above asking price with no contingencies. She and her team provided impressive aerial and 360 degree 3D walkthrough images, sound advice tailored to market conditions, and held a successful open house. Sold in <4 days of hitting the market. They also stayed on top of all the moving parts required to close, so the closing was flawless and smooth. We've moved many times during my government career, and we know the stress that comes with selling a house. Katy put our minds at rest and saved us a lot of time and money we might have spent needlessly on things that would not have added much value to the final sales result. I highly recommend Katy.

Fantastic experience: First time selling a house, have bought multiple ones but never sold until now, and the process could not have gone smoother. Being that I was living in FL and selling in VA I was concerned that things would be complicated by being remote but my fears were not realized. Katy answered the myriad questions that I had and handled everything with ease. Not only did my house sell easily but it was a fantastic learning experience as well.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Katy was great. She advised us on things that needed to be done to the home prior to showing it, but was reasonable in those requests and didn't make us expend needless time, money or energy on a home that she was sure would sell quickly anyway. The home sold in less than 24 hours for more than asking price. Katy was there to answer questions, advise us on who to use for minor repairs, and she offered assistance at every turn. She ensured a smooth transaction during an emotional time for us which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area considering a home sale.
