A Lifelong Passion for Real Estate
For Kate Ryan, real estate has always been in her DNA. Growing up in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge neighborhood, a charming waterfront community filled with everything from cozy apartments to sprawling estates, she developed a deep appreciation for architecture and home design. Seeing how different properties could transform lives ignited her passion, and it was only natural that Kate found her calling in helping others discover spaces that truly fit their needs.
From Corporate Sales to Real Estate Success
Before diving into real estate, Kate built a successful career as a corporate sales director in telecommunications. How did that experience shape her into the agent she is today? It sharpened her negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills—traits that have proven invaluable in the real estate industry. Kate’s journey took a pivotal turn when she pursued my passion for interior design, flipping her first house and even launching a small design business. Helping homeowners visualize a property’s full potential through renovation ideas made her realize that she could seamlessly blend her sales expertise with her love for design. Since starting real estate in 2016, Kate has had the privilege of working across the boroughs of New York City. In 2018, Kate shifted to selling real estate across Fairfield County and across Connecticut. Over the past nine-years, Kate has built a strong reputation for her dedication, expertise, and client-first approach.
What Sets Kate Ryan Apart
One word: commitment. Whether it’s 6 AM or midnight, Kate ensures that her clients know she is always able to be reached. Kate is also known for her honesty; she has talked clients out of deals when she felt they weren’t right. Building long-term relationships based on trust means more to her than just closing transactions. When working with Kate Ryan, clients are guaranteed that they are getting an agent who cares not only about finding them the best home, but cares about them personally as well.
Building the KB Homes Team
For Kate, joining Compass was a game-changer, and founding the KB Homes Team with her business partner Brianna was a dream realized. Together, they have grown from a duo to a powerhouse team of five, bringing unparalleled expertise and resources to every transaction. Their success is a collective effort, and that collaboration ensures that their clients receive the highest level of service. The KB Homes team does not measure success by numbers alone—they measure it by their clients’ happiness. Unlike many agents who rely solely on lead sources, they have built their business organically through personal relationships and referrals. For the KB Homes team, the greatest compliment is when past clients refer their family and friends to them.
Overcoming Challenges with Resilience
Real estate is an ever-changing industry. From market fluctuations to inventory shortages, the KB Homes team has learned to adapt quickly. Their ability to pivot and think creatively ensures that they always find the best solutions for their clients. What is their secret to real estate success? Adaptability. Every client and transaction is different, and staying ahead of the curve is essential. Being able to deal with change and a fast-paced environment is a pivotal aspect of being successful in this business.
The Reality of Being a Realtor
Many assume real estate agents have flexible schedules, but the truth is, they work around the clock. From late-night contract reviews to weekend showings, this job demands dedication. Success in this field requires persistence and hard work.
Record-Breaking Sales in 2024
Last year, Kate Ryan personally closed $25M in on and off market sales, averaging two home sales per month. Despite being formed in 2024, the KB Homes team also closed an impressive $38M in on and off market sales. This year, as a team of five, they aim to double—if not triple—their transactions.
