Real estate know-how with Kate Ziegler, on the go: while you're cooking, while you're wrapping, while you're on the road. Holidays are always hectic, but your real estate dreams won’t wait. Let’s go Home for the Holidays!

I’m Kate Ziegler Romano: Realtor, active investor, landlord, and renovation enthusiast who helps people buy, sell, and invest in Greater Boston and MetroWest without overpaying or leaving the communities they love.

Whether you’re:

• Buying your first condo or house (even in this market)
• House-hacking a 2–4 family so your tenants pay the mortgage
• Selling your city condo and sizing up to a single-family with a yard in the suburbs (“Boston → ’burbs”)
• Making any strategic move: sell + buy at the same time without going homeless
• Adding cash-flowing investment properties or executing a 1031 exchange
• Falling in love with a 200-year-old house that needs someone who actually understands old bones

…I’ve done it myself (again and again), and I’ve guided hundreds of clients through it.

Why podcast? My household spends a lot of time on the road, and podcasts are our preferred travel audio; when there’s a topic I want to take in, I want to take it with me. We all have enough to do this season, but it’s also the perfect time to get started–and a podcast format makes sure you’ve got information at the ready, when you’re ready, waiting in your podcast app.
