My Mission: Help You Move Forward With Confidence
A move often begins with something bigger than a house. You may need more room, want to simplify, be relocating to a new community, or feel ready for a fresh start. Whatever brings you here, you deserve a real estate agent who listens, communicates clearly, and cares about what happens next.
I am Kate Goeringer, a REALTOR® with Brick Realty, a Franklin resident, and the person behind Real Estate Kate. Since becoming licensed in 2003, I have built my approach around a simple belief: excellent service starts with understanding the person behind the move.
My mission is to help people move confidently and build a long-term real estate plan through honest guidance, local expertise, and personal service.
For you, that means having someone who takes the time to understand your priorities, explains your options, and helps you make informed decisions. Sometimes that means moving quickly when the right opportunity appears. Other times, it means slowing down, asking more questions, or reconsidering whether a property truly fits your needs.
My role is to give you the information and support to choose confidently.
Local Knowledge With a Neighbor's Perspective
Franklin is home to me. Keith and I are raising our family here, and as a Fieldstone Farms homeowner, I appreciate the everyday details that make a place feel like home.
When we discuss Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, or surrounding Middle Tennessee communities, our conversations go beyond bedrooms and square footage. We talk about your commute, how you use your home, the amenities you enjoy, and what matters most in your daily life.
I pair that local perspective with market research to help you evaluate your choices. A beautiful home matters. So does understanding its price, condition, location, and potential resale considerations.
If you are comparing communities, the Williamson County guide and the site's Middle Tennessee community guides can help you begin asking the right local questions.
Honest Advice and Clear Communication
You should feel comfortable asking questions throughout your move. You should also know where things stand and what comes next.
I make communication a priority by explaining the process, keeping you informed, and addressing concerns directly. If a home needs preparation before listing, I will help you identify where to focus. If pricing needs another look, we will discuss the comparable sales and competition. If an inspection raises questions, I will help you work through the next steps and connect with appropriate professionals.
My commitment is to offer thoughtful, honest guidance, even when the conversation is difficult, so you can make decisions with a clearer understanding of your options.
Thoughtful Strategy and Personal Attention
Every client and property deserves an individual approach.
For sellers, I bring together pricing research, preparation advice, presentation, and marketing to position a home thoughtfully. We will discuss your goals and timing, then focus on the steps that make sense for your property. Visit the seller resources for an overview of the preparation and selling process.
For buyers, I look beyond the initial excitement of a showing. I help you consider how a home fits your life, what questions need answers, and how to approach an offer and negotiations. The buyer resources explain the questions and decisions that come up before and after an offer.
As a rental property owner myself, I also understand the importance of looking at real estate through a longer-term lens. Whether you are purchasing a primary residence or exploring an investment, I want you to understand the responsibilities as well as the possibilities.
Modern Tools That Make Room for Better Service
I am always learning and improving how I work. Thoughtful technology helps me stay organized, research properties, coordinate details, and create marketing.
The purpose is practical: more time and attention for the conversations and decisions that matter to you. Personal service remains at the heart of my business.
A Relationship That Continues After Closing
One of the most meaningful parts of my work is hearing from clients months or years after their move. A question about home value, a request for a contractor recommendation, or an introduction to a friend tells me that our relationship has continued beyond the transaction.
That is the business I want to keep building: one rooted in trust, care, and lasting connections.
My faith and family guide how I live and work. They remind me to treat people with kindness, follow through on my commitments, and appreciate the opportunity to help during an important chapter of someone's life.
