Kate Duggan is amazing. We were so glad to have had Kate by our side as we sold our condo and bought our new home in Brookline. When we hit an unexpected setback with our first buyer and had to walk away from the deal, it could have been incredibly stressful. But Kate stayed calm, positive, and completely focused. She didnt miss a beat aEUR" quickly finding us a new buyer and guiding us through every step with reassurance and confidence. She truly went above and beyond. From coordinating documents with the condo management to helping us navigate a few minor repairs, she handled countless details behind the scenes that made everything feel seamless on our end. When it came to finding our new home, Kate really listened. She understood what mattered most to us and helped us find the perfect property. We always felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. Selling and buying at the same time can be overwhelming, but with Kate it felt manageable We are so grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and kindness, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Brookline.
Kate provided invaluable guidance on the sale of a condo and simultaneous purchase of a new home in a tight market. Her market knowledge, negotiating skill and attention to detail was remarkable, as was her ability to calm anxious nerves and put us in contact with helpers and trades along the way for minor hiccups. Excellent and timely communication at every step.
As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous and unsure of the processaEUR"until I met Kate. From the very start, she impressed me with her knowledge, design ideas, and encouragement. She communicated quickly, anticipated challenges, and guided me through every step with professionalism and genuine care. What stood out most was how she truly listened to my needs and handled obstacles with both fierceness and kindness. She explained everything clearly, kept me prepared, and always made me feel protected. Thanks to her advocacy and expertise, I now own a home I never thought possible. Whether youre new to buying or experienced, I cannot recommend Kate Duggan enoughaEUR"she is exceptional.
Kate helped me with the sale of my home in Boston, as well as finding me a new condo in the suburbs. It was truly a delight to work with her aEUR" Kate is not only very professional and efficient, but also extremely personable and she made the whole process way smoother than I had imagined. She negotiated a great price for me for both properties, and I was impressed with how determined she was to help me find a perfect new home. In sum, Kate is a fantastic real estate agent, and I give her my most enthusiastic recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Boston area.
Kate was fantastic from the first time I met her to when the sale of my condo was finalized. She was an excellent negotiator and sorted out any issues / communications between the various parties. She explained things clearly to me and worked hard to make the process as simple as possible for me. I thought it was going to be a stressful time, but with Kates help and guidance it wasnt. I highly recommend her.
We had an amazing experience working with Kate! She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect condo in just two days. Kate was incredibly personable, friendly, and truly made us feel like a priority throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the city is outstanding, and she took the time to show us multiple locations, making sure we had all the information we needed to make the best decision. It was clear that she genuinely cares about her clients and always has their best interests at heart. Thanks to her, we were able to secure a fantastic condo! We can't recommend her highly enoughaEUR"she's the best!
Kate has helped me buy my house and also sell it. She is AMAZING! She knows the Boston area like the back of her hand. She has close relationships with all the necessary real estate professionals to get a house ready to be sold or purchased in the most time efficient and professional manner. I have worked with many realtors and Kate is the best of the best. -Samantha
Kate provided us excellent guidance selling our home. She listened to our perspectives and came up with a reasonable plan to get it ready for the market. Her experience and negotiating skills got us top dollar. She was a liason with the attorneys and kept us on track for closing.
Working with Kate was the most seamless experience - with our headspace consumed with a toddler and a cross country move, Kate managed everything from getting our place in sellable condition (and coordinating with those contractors), masterfully driving interest in open houses, and having a very quick process between offers and close (and multiple, great offers at that!). She also managed all forms/checks that needed to happen. She was professional, efficient, and truly a joy to work with.
I had a pleasure to meet Kate Duggan when I was selling my house and buying a condo.Kate was very knowledgeable, caring, sensitive to my needs and most of all she always focuses on the good, the beauty, the uniqueness in people and properties.These qualities makes her a wonderful human being and one of the best agents I ever met.
Kate did a great job selling our home for us as we were planning a move overseas to Switzerland. What could have been a very trying time and complicated experience, turned out to be a stress free and seamless due to Kates expertise and professionalism. We were even able to sign all our closing documents electronically through DocuSign from our new residence in Europe. I would highly recommend Kate Duggan with Bostonia Properties to sell your home and get you the highest price the market allows for!
Kate was extremely patient and helpful during my home buying process. It took nearly two years to find the right place and Kate was with me and supportive every step of the way. As a first time home buyer, her contacts with inspectors, attorneys and lenders was also a huge help and made the closing process very easy.
It was a pleasure working with Kate on both the home buying and selling side. Kate is honest and straightforward, pays great attention to detail, and is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. Kate operates with a sense of urgency and is true to her word, and I would recommend her to my friends and family for any home buying, selling, or renting needs.
When we wanted to list our 3 family rental I called Bostonia Properties. Kate answered the phone herself (no aggravating answering machines)!Kate is sincere, intelligent, and had the necessary skills to promote and negotiate the sale of our property in uncertain times. She did a great Job to obtain a good price for us. She was always able to keep everyone on track. You will like her!
Kate made the selling process simple under the most difficult circumstances! We were selling our condo at Boston in the beginning of pandemic, while the buyer was panic and withdrew from the contract but Kate helped us to calmly go through the storm and found another buyer and completed the sell. She is the agent you need when you want to have a smooth sale experience and result!
As first-time homebuyers, Kate was exactly what we needed to help us buy our home! From the beginning she was very patient in helping us understand and navigate through the process. Her years of experience gave us confidence and she was easy to communicate with. We felt very comfortable asking any and all questions. We were blessed to find the right home in two weeks of searching! There were several bumps on the road leading up to closing that were out of our control, yet Kate did a great job working with the necessary parties involved and made sure our best interests were considered. We hope our home is our forever home, but if its not well be reaching out to Kate!
Kate is an excellent realtor and worked with us for over a year when we were buying our house. She got us into several homes before open houses commenced and would meet us at all the properties that we deemed had potential and would provide great insights when we toured these houses. She gave us good advice on our starting bid when we decided to make an offer and helped with the negotiations and paperwork in making sure the offer was accepted. She was patient and always put our needs and thoughts first, even when we had to back out on an offer that was accepted. In the house that we ended by buying, there were some hard negotiations and back and forth with the sellers and Kate was tenacious and made sure it all came together for us. We were very glad and grateful to have her on our team.
Buying a home can be a daunting and intimidating endeavor. What with finding an inspector, bank loan officer, attorney, appraiser; all while locating the best home for you, your budget and your personal goals. Enter Kate! I was abundantly fortunate to have crossed paths with Kate who assuaged my entire home buying experience. She connected me with an inspector who was fastidious, a loan officer that was at the top of their game, a top-notch attorney and reputable appraiser. Kate is effectively a one-stop-shop and is not afraid to roll up her sleeves or to be aggressive when advancing your personal agenda.Kate approached each step of my home buying journey as if she was buying the home herself. What better hands to be in than of someone who takes your experience personally. Whats more, after I inked my closing documents and received the keys to my new home, Kate remained available to me to answer ancillary questions. She understands the full life cycle of the buying experience and is with you the whole way through. Working with Kate is as smart an investment as it is to invest in buying a home itself.
Kate was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the purchase process. When it came to negotiation, Kate was a very valuable asset and able to help me to get the best deal possible. Paperwork and logistics were always taken care of - I never had to lift a finger. Will certainly work with her again!
Kate was wonderful ! So patient with us as we prepared to sell our old home. She also found the perfect place for us and made very helpful suggestions on financing. We?re here in our new home and loving it thanks to Kate !
We worked with Kate Dugan as our buyer's agent, having selected her from referrals by our relocation firm. The experience was immensely satisfying and rewarding from start to finish. Kate's keen insight into all aspects of the home selection and closing process ensured that everything proceeded in an efficient and optimal manner. She fielded most concerns on the spot and sought prompt resolution for those that required some research or consultation with others. Her advice and recommendations were always "dead on". Kate was finely attuned to our best interests and made them her own priority. She was incredibly proactive in seeking timely, concerted action from all other parties involved in closing our purchase. Bottom line, Kate Duggan was an indispensable asset in our home search/purchase. It's impossible to imagine a prospective seller/buyer engaging a stronger agent. She's at the top of her game and her client commitment is unparalleled.

Kate was amazing to work with! From helping us get our condo ready to sell, keeping us always updated with interest and next steps, helping determine our best strategy, she was incredible as we were selling the first place weve ever owned. Once the offer was in, Kate was incredible at helping us tie up any loss ends, and even made recommendations for contractors as we fixed anything that needed fixing before closing. She constantly went above and beyond for us. She even went so far as to pick up our mail after we moved (to another state) and shipped it to us! She was confident, calm, organized, and exactly what we needed in a realtor.
I was very pleased with Kate from our initial meeting to the completion of the sale of my house. I moved out of state before my house hit the market. Once we decided to list the home, an offer was made and accepted within 3 weeks. All details of the selling process were highly supported by Kate while I was out of state. I was extremely satisfied with Kates performance.
We worked with Kate to purchase our first property, a condo in Cambridge. Kate was amazing to work with. Very patient, knowledgeable, diligent and has a great eye for detail. We would recommend her to anyone looking in the Cambridge/Boston market.
What do you look for in a real estate broker? Someone who is honest, hard-working, proficient, trust-worthy and accommodating. Kate Duggan is all this and MORE! She asked us to give her a chance to prove herself (with no obligation) and she did. Kate handled every detail of our property sale just as she said she would. Kate was very responsive too, a rare quality in people these days. She made herself available whenever we needed her. The process was smooth as silk, a credit to her knowledge and expertise. Give her a try. Kate is first rate!
We are first time home buyers and were looking to work with someone who we felt really comfortable with and someone who we felt like was listening to us and guiding us in the right direction. We had spoken with a few agents prior to speaking with Kate. Right from the get-go, Kate was a great communicator. Very personable, efficient, professional, and so very kind. Kate offered to meet us one evening at our local coffee shop where she listened to us and our needs and walked us through the first time home buyer experience and what she would deliver on and where she would guide us. We left that meeting with a handshake and a smile on our faces as we felt we found the right agent for us. And we did!In all honesty, working with Kate in this process was so enjoyable. Our home buying journey had a few bumps in the road, but Kate proposed how we would approach it, the alternatives, next steps, and then communicated the process to the sellers agent keeping us updated frequently - even when there was no update to share. During the home inspection Kate had us focus on the walk through as she was behind taking diligent notes for the both of us. When we were in negotiations we could have real, honest conversations with Kate and ask her ridiculous questions that she never judged us for. She is truly there for you every step of the way and tries to make the customer journey a positive one. We highly recommend Kate. Not only is she a very knowledgeable real estate agent, Kate is has a law degree. She leaves no stone unturned, she remembers what your initial goals are, and she is just wonderful to work with. We cannot wait to refer her to our wider network and work with Kate in the future ourselves.
I have to say that Kate Duggan is one the most, if not the best, Realestate agent that I have ever worked with! She is efficient, very knowledgeable, and gets you what you want! Kate truly knows how to read people and has great intuitiveness for what people want and need. She showed me numerious properties until we found the perfect fit in my price range. Kate dug up a lovely condo in one of the best buildings in Boston, which ended up buying into, thanks to her hard work and perseverance.
Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with in the sale of our brownstone Condo. She is highly responsive, has great negotiation skills and has great personal and professional values. We would highly recommend working with Kate.
Kate Duggan listens and is immediately actively helpful. I was in another state, so it was a long distance effort to ready the condo in Cambridge for sale. Kate was great with contacts, recommendations, quick response backs and actually doing stuff to get things going so we could put the place on the market. She was supportive when as part of the estate process we hit a litigation snag. Then when we were ready to go again Kate did an excellent job of selling, negotiating and finally facilitating the details of communication between parties to get it done. I am very pleased to write a review for her and would recommend her as an excellent real estate professional.
If you are lost in the jungle process of buying a house, Kate will grab your hand and guide you out of there to a safe place that would be your new home! Let her guide you! She did an awesome job with us!
i had to sell this house for my father. He had to move out with no notice because of a medical emergency. A very stressful situation for me. I met with Kate. She made a very good presentation about how she could help me every step of the way. I chose her because she sounded honest, knowledgeable, and hard working. The house was full of furniture, papers, etc. Kate hired a great company that emptied the entire house. Then she hired some cleaners that made the house look respectable. She did everything she promised she would do. I would hire her again in a second. And we got a tremendous price. The closing went smoothly. Shes a true pro. Honest, nice to deal with, and knows what shes doing. She gave some great advice.
I recently moved to the Boston area to begin a graduate program and decided, with help from my parents, to buy a 2-bedroom condo. I had gone to a few open houses by myself and felt completely overwhelmed by the whole process. I understood from watching Zillow how quickly the market moves in Boston and I realized that I would need support.My mom contacted Kate online after my discouraging day of open houses, and Kate called me on the phone within minutes. She asked a lot of questions to get a sense of what I was looking for and the sorts of things I enjoy doing in my free time. We set up a time to look at apartments later that month (I was living out of state and so my availability was more limited than Kates). When our open house day came, I made a list of properties I wanted to see. I was immediately grateful to have Kate with me and loved hearing the questions she asked at each property. When I had toured properties by myself, I felt shy and acted as though the realtors were doing me a favor. I think its easy to feel this way in Boston; the market is so tight and moves so quickly that sellers have a great deal of power and buyers sometimes feel like seals at feeding time. Kate, however, was firm without being pushy or rude. She took control of the situation and made me feel empowered. Kate was also very open with her opinions about each property, which was important to me because 1. I didnt know the area well at all and didnt have a good sense of what locations were better than others, what amenities were harder to come by than others, etc. and 2. because I felt like I would really be able to trust her when she finally did say, yep, I think this is the one.Little did I know I would find an apartment and make an offer that very day, prompting what was probably the most stressful month of my familys life as we scrambled to get the financing together. We never expected that our first offer would be accepted and neither did Kate; we all figured wed have to make a few offers before one was finally accepted. We just got lucky! In part because the whole thing had moved so unexpectedly quickly, I had a lot of doubt that I was making the right decision -- both about my graduate program and about the apartment. Kate spent hours talking on the phone to me, to my mom, and to both me and mom on three-way. Kate told me I could call her any time, and I did. I experienced a lot of buyers remorse after we made our offer, and in the days that followed I would send Kate links to newly listed properties asking, frantically, if we had made a mistake. Kate calmly walked me through the pros and cons of each property, reassuring me that I didnt have to go through with the purchase if I didnt 100% want to. I never felt like she was pushing me into it, and her patience seemed limitless. At one point, I did actually back out of the deal, and when I changed my mind two days later and wanted to move forward, tail between my legs, Kate helped us navigate that as well. At one point before we closed, I apologized to Kate for my flip-flopping and asked if this had been her most stressful deal. She laughed and said absolutely not. I half expected her to rip off her coat and reveal a super hero costume. On the day of the closing, I had an appointment for the Comcast guy to come install wifi. The sellers realtor was giving us a hard time about relinquishing the keys, and I was so relieved that Kate went to bat for me -- again -- and got the keys so I didnt have to cancel my appointment.I am now living in my beautiful condo full-time and I love love love it! I would recommend Kate enthusiastically and without hesitation. She is open, honest, patient, and will advocate for you unceasingly. I would give her ten stars if I could!
For the best return on your investment, Bostonia Properties is the place to go. There is something about Kate that sets her apart from other Brokers. Not only is she passionate about her work, Kate Duggan knows the business inside and out and is committed to selling your property for a competitive price in a timely manner. She is professional, thorough and understands the importance of establishing good client relations to achieve desired outcomes. From our first meeting to the final sale, I trusted Kate?s judgement and expertise; and she didn?t disappoint. She kept the lines of communication open and followed through without hesitation. Her unwavering dedication and flexibility went beyond the call of duty. Overall, my experience was positive and prosperous and I highly recommend her. ~Andree
Kate provided a very professional and enjoyable experience of representing me while selling my property. From the moment I met Kate I knew she was very knowledgable. She explained why this was the right time to sell support by strong market information. She Explained how she would go about presenting the property and securing offers, which she. Furthermore she was present at every twist and turn that selling a property somethings requires. I highly recommend Kate to sell your property you will not be disappointed.
Kate helped us sell our condo (that was currently a rental) in Charlestown. She really understood our situation and worked to coordinate everything with our tenants and the other unit owners with minimal intervention from us. She got our deal done quickly at a sales price we were very pleased with. We would not hesitate to recommend Kate and would definitely use her again if the need arose.
when getting into the process of buying a house... a home for your family, for yourself maybe, you kind of expect things not to be all in your favor since a lot of details have to come together. Going through all of that with a real estate agent - a broker, can make things maybe faster, maybe better, maybe not. With Kate as my Broker, from day one and up to the very last second of the deal - I knew this one big thing; With her it will happen. I trusted Kate with all my heart that she will be there at any step of the way, with endless kindness, true support and personality that build bridges when ever needed. She is truly an amazing human who is doing a great unconditional service. I am grateful for her!!!!

Kate did a great job of helping me sell my condo in Cambridge. She is a level-headed, no-nonsense kind of person who gets on a does the job with minimum fuss but maximum effectiveness. Her negotiating skills and experience are excellent. I would highly recommend her.
Kate got our condo in Watertown sold at the right time for the right price. Her experience, her energy, and her drive made for a low-impact, stress-free and streamlined process. If you are ready to do some business, Kate will get it done. A true professional. - Tali & Peter
Kate was great, helping with every step of the process of selling and buying properties. She kept on top of everything and remained calmed even when it did get chaotic. Kate was very acknowledgeable in regards to the market and the location we were interested in. She helped us sell two properties and buy a property that was new construction.Kate was always available when we had questions or concerns. Even after settling down into our new home she helped connect us with the developers for minor things that needed to be repaired.The process of buying/selling property is stressful no matter what but with Kate helping us along with every step, the process was much more manageable.
Kate is absolutely amazing!! My fiance and I were first time homebuyers and after speaking with a few realtors, we decided Kate was a great match for us. She took the time to sit down with us and take notes and what was really important to us. In no time, we had multiple properties we were looking at. We ended up buying new construction and got into a little bit of a bidding war which Kate helped us through. New construction can be quite stressful and there are often delays. My fiance and I were growing very frustrated with the process but Kate was absolutely wonderful, helping keep us calm and push the developer along. I would strongly recommend Kate to anyone and will certainly be turning to her on my future home buying/selling transactions!!
I interviewed 3 other agents and Kate. Kate stood out to me because she arrived at my home totally prepared with information about my 3 properties, comps in the area and with a no-nonsense attitude that was attractive to me. She was very attentive to my needs, helped me through the process and went above and beyond to help me calm a disgruntled tenant. She worked with my tenant directly because she recognized that would lead us to the right outcome. I highly recommend Kate for anyone who wants a professional, enthusiastic and capable agent.
Kate was great! We put my place on the market at not the best time, and under not the best circumstances (fall going into winter when it was rented and we had trouble getting access) but she kept at it, gave me helpful advice, and we eventually sold it for the asking price. I would highly recommend working with her!
I had the opportunity to work with Kate when we decided to buy our first home this year. Kate was a pleasure to work with and she was very knowledgeable too. Being first time home buyers my husband and I really benefited from Kates patient guidance through the whole process. I really appreciate her wealth of experience which was highly evident when we were visiting prospective homes to buy. She taught us to go beyond just the cosmetic state of the house and to look for things that indicated that the home was in need of repairs or for things that would be a huge investment to fix later. Kate also helped us connect to a great lender who offered us the best interest rate among the multiple lenders wee considered. When we finally found a condo in Waltham we really liked, we were hesitant to make an offer thinking that we hadnt seen enough homes to make a decision. But Kate pushed us in the right direction and boy are we glad she did. We absolutely love our new house!
Kate helped me find and purchase my first home/rental property, an owner occupied multifamily, and I couldnt have been happier with the results. Kate was always available to answer my questions and flexible to accommodate my work schedule. Her experience and knowledge allowed me to focus on the exciting parts of buying my first home, while she took care of all the hard stuff. The home I bought was a popular listing with multiple offers after the first showing, and Kates expertise helped me to come out as the winning buyer. We also hit some snags during the inspection process and Kate negotiated on my behalf to get what I wanted from the sellers and arranged for several services like obtaining a sewer connection quote and getting documents from the towns dept of public works. In the end Kate got me the house I wanted and made the whole process seem surprisingly effortless on my part.
We met Kate while purchasing our first home, nearly 5 years ago. It was clear from the beginning that she was a pro - through and through. She knows how to make the deal happen; whether its handling a late weekend night negotiation or being present for an early morning inspection. She gets it and gets it done. Weve purchased 4 homes with Kate and will continue to go back to her for all our real estate needs.
Kate was fantastic to work with. I happened to have a very difficult time selling my condo, but Kate stuck with me and finally made something happen. I felt like she really cared about me and about my ability to sell, and it was almost as if my condo was her own. She is very knowledgable and she knows what shes doing. She put a lot of time and effort into the sale, and she was very accessible and communicative. I appreciate everything she did. If I ever buy again in the area, I would not hesitate to contact Kate for her help.
Kate was our real estate agent in both buying and selling a home in Boston this year. If ever you needed a case study on why you need a realtor, our purchase was it. The unexpected happened and the transaction would have fallen through if not for Kate, I have no doubt. She treated our purchase as if it were her own, going the extra mile and exploring every avenue to ensure we were able to make the purchase of our forever home happen. She brought knowledge of all aspects of the process, was a tenacious negotiator, and responded to every twist and turn. We are thankful Kate was there for us, she was a true trusted guide!
I would highly recommend Kate for buying and/or selling a home. Kate is experienced, knowledgeable, energetic, and truly passionate about her work. She knows the market, is very responsive, personable, determined, and overall, a pleasure to work with.
