Who is Katrina Whatley?

 First of all, along with being a real estate agent, I am a real person!  I want that to come across on this website.  This website is my own creation and not a cookie cutter

template you may have seen on other sites.  

I strive to be authentic in business.  When we meet, you will see that I am not a stereotypical Realtor.   I don't have a Glamour Shot photo and I don't wear a gold blazer.  :)

Actually, I have a unique philosophy about being a Realtor...in the initial stage of the process, I see my role as more of a  "matchmaker" than sales person.  I never push individual houses on anyone.  I don't see the point.  Either you have chemistry with the house or you don't!  I will keep introducing you to houses until you find The One!  ( i think that HGTV show stole this philosophy from me!)

During your search we will have fun touring homes.  Looking at houses is the fun part!

And I will teach you about the process of buying a home.....in plain English.  

The process can be intimidating.  But knowledge is power and I want my clients to feel secure in every step we make.

I've lived in North Oak Cliff since 2003...first, in a fab little Tudor in the Elmwood neighborhood and now at Lake Cliff Park where we are rehabbing a 1935 duplex.  (if you are looking to buy a fixer, I will have lots of personal experience to share with you...along with solid contractor recommendations!)

I am working toward EcoBroker certification.  Green building and sustainable living is a fantastic "new" (yet ancient!) issue in real estate. 

My husband and I are both artists.  He is a sculptor and I am a painter. 

We have one little child.  We also live with two large rescued dogs, Heidi and France.  I love to travel and have lived in 5 states and spent a year abroad (England, Scotland and South Africa). 

I office at home, so I am always "at work".  I am available at anytime of day.  I am often

chatting with clients at 9 at night or 6 in the morning....and working on contracts at 2a.m. 

Enough about me, send me an email or call and tell me about You!
