    About Katherine Bitter

    I was born in Dubuque and when I moved away for about a decade I realized how special Dubuque is. It is a growing, vibrant community that is not afraid to take chances and spend money to invest in our city. Our school and park systems are wonderful. For these and many other reasons I enjoy introducing "transplants" into our community. Helping clients relocate often goes beyond home viewing and buying and can take many directions. Lenders, dentists, doctors, churches, schools, grocery stores,shopping, parks, etc. It is important to me that you start off feeling at home in this city I love! Finding your new home is the "fun" part of my job. Who doesn't like looking at houses? But my specialty is in negotiating your deal, protecting your interests, and seeing you get to a successful closing. My goal is to do this and at the same time minimize the stress and inconvenience to you. Working with buyers and securing them the best deal often means negotiating a lower price-and my commission. That's why buyer representation can't just be about securing future sellers or a way to make money in between listings. It needs to be what you enjoy. Buyer representation is my passion! And my home sellers benefit from my knowledge of what motivates buyers. I have been selling real estate in Dubuque for 14 years; 12 of those years as a broker associate. I am ready to work for you!

    Kathy helped my husband and I buy our first home and was amazing throughout the entire process. She is honest and was there with answers to our constant questions. She helped us find not only homes to look at but was able to provide us with recommendations for various inspectors and contractors to help us along in the process. We were more than impressed with her knowledge and skills. She made things fun and provided us with the information necessary for making the best purchase for us. I highly recommend her and plan to use her for any future real estate adventures.

    Kathy helped me through the process of buying my first home. She was always very responsive to messages, texts, or phone calls. As a first-time home buyer, I really didnt have much of an idea of what I was doing, but Kathy was there every step of the way. After the purchase, when an issue arose, Kathy was helpful in making sure it got fixed. I would recommend Kathy to friends and family, and I plan to use her again when it is time to purchase my next home.

    Kathy is the best! She was very patient with helping us find the right house and she never tried to push a home on us just to make a sale. If my wife and are ever in the market again for a home, or need helping finding real estate in our area, we will not hesitate to contact Kathy.

    Kathy was very patient with me when I was looking for a house. No pressure and very honest. She continued to look for houses for me even after I had given up. Ended up finding a great house. Highly recommend Kathy.

    Kathy has been our real estate agent as a buyer twice and as a seller twice. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, honest, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and generous with her time. She is also incredibly funny which helped make what can be a stressful situation much less stressful. We couldn?t have been more satisfied with her. Kathy gave us excellent guidance, tireless availability, and deep knowledge about the real estate market in Dubuque. We can?t say enough good things about her. Working with Kathy made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend her.
