I cannot convey how truly painless (delightful, even) the home buying experience was with Kate Jensen as my agent.” — Mary N. Kate grew up watching her parents renovate houses, and got her own start in real estate fixing up a dated 1960s condo. After seeing the magic of renovation, Kate was hooked! She’s since completed several home renovations and has developed a true passion for rescuing houses in need of a little extra love. Kate has been working in real estate since 2017 as a realtor and now broker. She is known for her ability to keep calm under pressure, solve problems quickly and with a little humor, and negotiate just about anything. Before real estate, Kate was a mathematician! She still enjoys solving logical puzzles and enjoys bringing her love of rational thinking and analysis into her role as a realtor. When not working in real estate, Kate enjoys drawing, painting, photography, music, and spending time out in nature. https://www.honeybeehomesmn.com/sellers daily 0.75 2022-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60061a432f57da1e2e73f632/4aa33476-971e-4ffd-aeeb-71258567d48c/photo-0031.jpg Sellers - Step 1: Book a listing consultation In a listing consultation, we will meet to determine your needs regarding selling your home.
