Katie helped us both buy/sell our home! She is wonderful and absolutely great to work with! She was determined to find us a perfect home in our desired location in Upper Arlington! No matter the time of day or night, Katie was always available, helpful and happy to help us with all of our real estate needs.

Katie was an amazing person to work with! She always made us feel like we were her only client, even though we knew she was busy with others. She was quick to respond to emails, and always knew the right questions to ask at the right times. Buying a home can be stressful, but with Katie’s help, our home buying process was easy. My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier in our new home, and it wouldn’t have happened without her!

Katie is professional, knowledgeable and diligent in her work. She was delightful to work with. It was like working with a friend and not someone stuffy. Katie made me feel comfortable and helped out when I in my new place and the old place still needed things done. Katie is the best!

As first time home buyers, we could not have had a better realtor. Katie was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She was always responsive and proactive in finding us our home. She really took time to understand what we were looking for and we appreciated everything she did for us. We went through one realtor before Katie and there was absolutely no comparison. Whether this is your first house or 50th, you could not find a better professional to work with.

Can’t say enough great things about Katie! She is so knowledgeable about the local markets, which makes her extremely effective at searching, negotiating and getting through all the paperwork and details of selling or buying a home. Plus she’s so friendly, flexible and patient – so easy to work with! Katie helped me sell my condo so much faster than anticipated (and at an amazing price) – which resulted in paperwork while we were out of the country on our Honeymoon – but no problem, she took care of everything, no worries! Then she helped us find an amazing house in a neighborhood I never thought I’d be able to afford for a first home – a forever home right off the bat! (In fact, she helped me put in an offer before my husband even saw it – LOL) Whenever I have a question about home value, or need help with something related to my home – Katie is so responsive and helpful – even though she knows it’s not a sale for her – she’s just a great person who loves helping others. Go with Katie – you will be SO glad you did!!!

Katie is the best! My husband and entrusted her to sell our first home and her recommendations on price, open house, and timing were spot on. We sold our home the first day it went on the market! We also looked at multiple homes in multiple neighborhoods and Katie was proactive in scheduling and getting us in to see the homes in a timely manner. She was a valuable resource in helping narrow our search to which neighborhood and home would suit our family best. Her positive attitude and insight into the field allowed us to trust her expertise in finding our forever home. We are forever grateful to all her hard work and appreciate the time and care she took every step of the way.

Katie helped my husband and I find our first home after moving to Columbus. She was so knowledgeable with the entire Columbus area and was able to provide quick and insightful tips to us. She was so responsive and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. She made sure she kept us up to speed throughout the whole process and ensured that we got everything we wanted with our purchase. I couldn’t say enough great things about Katie – highly recommend her!!

Katie and her team made selling my condo a breeze! As a first time seller, I really appreciated that the team was always available to address any questions that I thought of. Their attention to detail throughout the entire process helped get my property the attention that it deserved, and that was represented by the amount of offers I received! I would HIGHLY recommend these ladies to anyone looking to buy and sell a home. Thank you so much Katie, Emily, and Amy, the experience was a great one!

Jessica H

We owe Katie a huge thank you. She made selling our condo easy. We felt respected and appreciated as she worked around our schedule and put us first. Katie and her team not only worked quickly and efficiently, but they staged our condo beautifully. Everyone we worked with on her team was very kind and helpful. We would highly recommend Katie Davis!

Michelle D

Katie was a phenomenal agent for my husband and me! She is extremely hard-working, detail-oriented, caring, and compassionate! Her impeccable negotiating skills and personal connections in the community helped us purchase the first house we saw and fell in love with! She also helped us sell our condo within just a few days! She was so fantastic to work with that she is currently helping my mom and step-dad in their home-buying process! I promise you that Katie will put her heart and soul into helping you, whether you are hoping to buy or sell! She’s wonderful!

5/5 ⭐️ Katie and her team are amazing and always go above and beyond for their clients! The best of the best!

Brenna K

Katie Davis & Team not only met my expectations but superseded them on every level of the process of selling my UA home of 28 years. Katie’s professionalism, knowledge, passion and compassion resulted in the seamless sale of my home after 4 days on the market for more than list price. Katie and Team treat you as a family friend and above all they are transparent and honest career women focused on the goals of their clients. They are “not” day traders or transaction driven and conversely conduct all business dealings with the highest priority placed on their brand and reputation. I highly recommend this real estate team. I was truly blessed to have their expertise in a major life event.

Amy helped us sell our condo (a rental property) and did an amazing job! Sold in 3 days for above what we were expecting. Thanks Amy!

Katie was wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable about the market and was able to walk us through the process of selling our house and buying another all within in 5 weeks. She thinks outside the box and gets creative when necessary and is always looking out for her clients best interest. Highly recommended!! We bought and sold in Upper Arlington

Heather H

My fiancee and I mainly worked with Amy and had great insight and expertise from Katie as well. As first time home buyers you hear horror stories about how stressful this process can be. Amy and Katie made it feel seamless! We truly felt like we were in the presence of friends/family because they work so hard and efficiently for you, while always having your best interest at the forefront. Their knowlege and expertise in every phase of the home buying process was invaluable. When we are ready to sell, they will be the first to know. Until then, we’ll continue to recommend Katie and Amy to everyone we know and love!

Liz S

Katie helped me buy my first home. She made me feel confident throughout the entire home buying process with her knowledge and care. I switched over to her with about five weeks to spare before I had to be out of my previous living situation. It seemed like an impossible objective to accomplish, but we got it done. Thanks Katie and team!

Jonny G

We had an exceptional expereience when we listed our home with Katie Davis and her team. She met with us within 24hrs. of reaching out and she was getting married that same weekend. The communication from Katie and her team was on point and it was truly a pleasure to work with her. Excellent customer service is hard to come by these days, but Katie and her team are a true example of top notch customer service. Her knowledge and experience shines as our situation was a little complex on a personal side and Katie handled it with professionalism and understanding.

Krista H

Can’t believe we bought our first house! And it wouldn’t have been possible without the help, support, guidance, and organization from Katie Davis group! Especially a MAJOR shout out to Amy Davis who we worked with most of the time. The process was stress-free and fun! Amy went above and beyond to work with our crazy schedules.

My fiance and I would recommend Katie Davis and her team to anyone buying a home in Columbus.

Thanks A MILLION, Nick and I can’t wait to live in our first home!

Robyn

Katie and Amy were amazing to work and they answered all our questions since we were first time home buyers! Definitely can say we plan to use their services in the future! Thanks for helping us find the perfect home!

Nikki F

Working with Katie was unlike any other experience I’ve had with a realtor. From our initial phone call, she stood out as knowledgeable, responsive, resourceful, and professional. Katie and her crew made some serious magic happen by getting our childhood home ready for sale and then selling it quickly for a reasonable price. I’d recommend Katie to anyone looking for an agent; she is a superstar!

Courtney

Amy went above and beyond, she seemed to know what to do or ask before I even thought of it. We bought and sold at the same time and the process was easy and painless! Highly recommend this awesome team.

Sandy

Amy has been phenomenal to work with and has easily exceeded our expectations. In what may be the most competitive market the Columbus area has ever seen, Amy was able to help us navigate our way to buying our perfect house. Amy is also one of the most proactive individuals we have worked with (not just in real estate) – very responsive, and goes over and beyond to set us up for success, whether that be providing us data about the home and neighborhood that wouldn’t be easily found, pulling together a rock solid, willing offer package, etc. She dedicated her efforts completely to us as clients, and we truly felt like we were a priority to her. Her integrity and transparency are also bar none – always willing to provide us all angles when we visit a home, and when needed, helping us see beyond our “rose colored glasses” to help us realize aspects that may be drawbacks to a home or neighborhood. She certainly helped us dodge a few bullets during our search. We have worked with several agents in previous years but none come close to the caliber of service Amy provided. We highly recommend her!
