Refined Coastal Living. Extraordinary Architecture. One Rare Opportunity On The Bahía De Banderas.

Katie Pratt is a Realtor based in the San Francisco Bay Area whose approach is shaped less by sales targets and more by a commitment to education, clarity, and long term planning. A former high school chemistry teacher and curriculum director, Katie brings that educator background into every client relationship.

What has kept her on this path is a personal understanding of what home represents. Growing up in the Deep South and identifying as LGBTQ, she spent much of her early life searching for a place where she felt safe and seen. Owning her first home in the Bay Area was the first time she experienced that sense of permanence and belonging.

”Access to permanency in your chosen community and the security of owning and sharing a residence in places that validate aspects of your identity is an American Dream,” Katie explained.

She spends considerable time helping Millennials and Gen Z pursue homeownership through creative strategies like co buying with friends or purchasing multi unit properties. Those same approaches often work for Baby Boomers navigating retirement and downsizing without dramatically increasing their tax burden.

”Being a trusted advisor means staying curious, recognizing when something does not feel right, and ensuring clients have access to the right protections and resources,” Katie said.

For Katie, success is not measured in sales volume but in how present she can be with each client throughout their process.
