A Bit of Backstory
Before real estate, I spent several years owning my own boutique truck — Kat’s Closet Boutique — where I learned what truly matters to people: being seen, being understood, and being guided with care. Those years weren’t just about sales and marketing; they taught me how to build relationships, read a client’s needs before they say them, and create an experience that feels personal from start to finish.
Here’s what that means for you: you get an agent who treats your home journey like a relationship, not a transaction. Someone who listens closely, anticipates your stress points, and makes sure you always feel supported and informed.
I launched Top Key Properties after three years in real estate because I knew families deserved a different kind of experience—one that replaced chaos with clarity and pressure with peace. Since 2018, I’ve had the privilege of guiding over 350 families through buying and selling in the St. Louis area, and Top Key has grown into a boutique-style, people-first brand now ranking in the top 10% of solo agents in St. Louis.
Because I’ve been in your shoes—juggling kids, routines, and a home that no longer fits—I built this business around what I wish I had when I moved: realistic to-dos, honest timelines, clear communication, and someone who doesn’t rush you into decisions.
What began with a handful of families trusting me with their biggest investment has grown into a full-service experience rooted in advocacy, creative problem-solving, and genuine care.
And here’s what that looks like for you: a guide who brings calm to your transition, protects your budget, watches for red flags, and helps you move into a home that finally feels like it fits the season you’re in.
Today, my work is about more than houses — it’s about helping busy families navigate one of life’s biggest transitions with confidence, clarity, and a little more breathing room at every step.
Because I’ve lived that exact season. When our family outgrew our home, I remember feeling pulled in a dozen directions—wondering how to time everything, worrying about finances, and feeling guilty for being attached to a house that no longer worked. It was overwhelming. Most agents focus on the sale. I focus on the life transition. I learned firsthand how powerful it is to move into a home that supports your routines, your kids, and your peace. That experience shaped Top Key. Here’s what it means for you: you get an agent who understands the emotional and practical weight of this decision—and guides you through it with empathy, strategy, and zero pressure.
Big transitions get overwhelming when no one tells you what comes next. That’s why I break the entire process into simple, bite-sized steps—each one doable in the margins of real life (during naps, after bedtime, or between sports practices). You’ll never get a giant to-do list from me. Instead, you’ll get a clear roadmap, micro-wins you can check off quickly, and guidance that protects your budget and your time. My goal: to replace chaos with clarity so you can move forward confidently—without feeling like you’re making decisions in a hurry or in the dark.
To me, “home that fits” isn’t about square footage or checking boxes on a traditional upgrade list. Move-up doesn’t always mean bigger. Sometimes the home that fits is the one that feels calmer. Sometimes it’s smaller but in a better location—closer to family, friends, schools, or the rhythms that give your days meaning. For some families, move-up looks like trading a 3-car garage for a beautifully updated home that doesn’t need weekend projects. For others, it’s choosing function and flow over extra rooms you never use. A home that fits is one that supports your life, not one that overwhelms it. It’s the space where your routines work, where the energy feels lighter, where maintenance doesn’t steal your Saturday, and where the payment still supports your financial peace. That’s what I want for every family I work with: a home aligned with your values, your current season, and the way you actually live—not just the way you’re “supposed” to move up.

Hey Agents!
This part of my business is just for you. I believe deeply in community over competition, and I’ve built spaces where women in real estate can grow without the burnout—through Hello Culture STL, strategic mentorship, collaborative coaching, and my partnership with Powerhouse at eXp.
When you’re supported, connected, and surrounded by agents who share what actually works, you’re able to build a business that feels sustainable. You get calmer transactions, smarter strategies, and the confidence to deliver an elevated experience to your clients.
Whether you’re looking to grow from 5–10 transactions to 20–30… or from 20–30 to 40–60… or you simply want to stop feeling like you’re doing this business alone, you’re in the right place. As a solo agent who built from the ground up, I know exactly what that isolation feels like—and how powerful the right community can be. That’s what the agent page is all about: support, clarity, and a path that actually fits the season you’re in.
