Katherine Kranenburg

I am a residential real estate agent located in the metropolitan Washington, DC area.

At Sotheby's, we are dedicated to understanding our clients' individual needs and providing them with exceptional real estate experiences.

We put each unique client at the center of the process, delivering superior service with insight, innovation, and integrity.

Realizing your dream for living is the heart of everything we do.

WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM ME:

STRONG PERSONAL CONNECTIONS

I understand that the most important part of working with a client is listening. I will seek to understand your needs.
In addition to being an active member of the Crestwood Community and all that the diverse DC metro area has to offer, I have extensive contacts and experience in the international market through my work in intercultural management consulting. Having lived in Europe I understand that culture plays a huge part in how you connect with others.
My success as a real estate professional stems from my ability to focus intently on my clientele's needs. This includes my effectiveness in acting quickly and persuasively to expedite sales, my innate passion for real estate, and my appeal to both domestic and international clients - thanks to my bilingual background.

The purpose of a real estate agent is to get the results you expect. My job is to accentuate the pluses and minimize the minuses. Both buyers and sellers can rely on me to track each step of the detailed sales process, including all paperwork, to assure an on-time closing.

With the tremendous increase in diversity, I can market to global buyers and sellers in a way that differentiates me from my competitors. With over 10 years of cross-cultural business development and marketing experience, I bring a commitment to work diligently to representing you. I reach a broader audience by building mutually beneficial relationships in the local, national and international communities. One of my niches is marketing to people who are fluent in Dutch and Italian. As experts predict, by 2010 over 65% of first-time home buyers will be immigrants or minorities.

PROFESSIONALISM & EXPERTISE

Confidence is about excellent product knowledge. At Long and Foster, I specialize in local and international transactions including buying and selling homes, annual leases, and Expatriate rentals. I know how to accurately price properties, use aggressive, strategic marketing techniques and successfully close transactions. Licensed in District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, I am proud to be part of Long and Foster Real Estate where I can draw upon the firm's vast array of resources to afford my clients the very best in personal and professional service.

Professionally affiliated with Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (GCAAR) and National Association of Realtors (NAR), I take advantage of continuing education to stay abreast of market and industry trends via training classes offered by GCAAR and NAR.
