Hi, I’m Kate

Your host and owner of Kate Marker Properties

Hi, I'm Kate, the owner and designer behind Kate Marker Properties. I started this company with one simple goal: to take the stress out of designing your dream space. Life is hectic enough, and creating a home you love should feel effortless, not overwhelming. That's where we come in. With my design expertise and Ken's exceptional project management, we handle all the details so you can enjoy the process and focus on what truly matters.

With over two decades of experience, I've developed a design style that blends timeless elegance with warmth and comfort. Whether it's selecting furnishings, choosing materials, or overseeing the build, we make sure every detail is thoughtfully curated. Ken, our Director of Properties, brings a wealth of experience, making sure every project runs smoothly from start to finish. He manages timelines, coordinates contractors, and takes care of the logistics so you don't have to worry about a thing.

In addition to designing beautiful homes, we also create vacation properties across the country. These retreats are designed to give you that same Kate Marker feel's; inviting, functional, and full of comfort. Whether it's a coastal escape, a mountain hideaway, or a countryside getaway, we ensure that every vacation home we design offers a seamless experience, where you can truly unwind and enjoy the space as if it were your own.

At Kate Marker Properties, we're here to make sure every space, whether it's your primary residence or a vacation home, is not just beautiful but also stress-free, functional, and designed to fit your life and lifestyle.

Renovation Revelations

Thoughtfully renovated homes for sale.

Our Renovation Projects offer a unique opportunity to experience the transformative power of KMI design. We don't just renovate homes; we curate them. Each project begins with the careful selection of a property by the KMI team, seeking out homes with strong bones and unique character. We then work closely with our preferred contractors to bring our vision to life, creating a turnkey project that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern amenities.
