ZillowVERIFIEDKaty and her staff are the most knowledgeable real estate team I have ever worked with. They operate in Rhode Island, SE Mass. and Conn. and know the rules of each state. They sold my condo in RI and helped me buy a house in Mass. Any problem big or small, she knew how negotiate a resolution. I enjoyed working with her.

ZillowVERIFIEDShe is simply the best. Always professional and supportive. We have worked with her several times. Easily available by phone or text and responsive to inquiries. We have looked at many properties and have both bought and sold with her. She will do that extra step to do what it takes.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty was recommended to us when we planned our relocation from out of state. Her personality was instantly a comfort. She always conducted herself professionally, was attentive, full of awesome guidance and insight regarding areas/neighborhood nuances and had a secure handle on the housing market including financial considerations. No question or situation was ever too small or too grand...she consistently and promptly was in our corner. Even after the closing, Katy connected us with high-quality area services and vendors.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Katy from a family member who also had a positive experience. We were moving our family from the Boston area to Rhode Island while I was pregnant and while dealing with the pandemic. Needless to say there was some stressful times. She was so helpful and thoughtful. She even went above and beyond watching our two young boys so we could walk through homes! I'm so appreciative of her expertise and patience. We went to many different homes in different areas throughout the state. We our happy to say we found our forever home. We are grateful for Katys help! I would recommend Katy to anyone who asked.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty and her team were great! In this market, we needed a Realtor who was on top of the local market and who could react quickly when the right house was listed. Katy is definitely that person and helped us find a house. I highly recommend her and her team!

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty is extremely knowledgeable and makes herself very accessible throughout the entire home buying process. We worked with Katy twice on the same home! We first met her when we rented the home and then again a year later when we were offered to buy the house. She was wonderful to work with!

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty is an amazing real estate agent. She has helped my husband and I on numerous real estate transactions over the past few years. Whether it is with rentals, buying, or selling Katy is always there and willing to help. Katy is knowledgeable, flexible, trustworthy, easy going and will talk through any particular questions or concerns we may have. She recently was the real estate agent for the sale of a spec house that my husband built. Within days of the house going on the market Katy had multiple offers to bring to us. Katy provided expert guidance on how to navigate the multiple offers, while also not being overbearing or trying to push us in any particular direction. I can honestly say that Katy always has her clients best interests at heart and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are getting the best bang for their buck.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have used Katy for purchasing two homes (2015 & 2020), and I could not have had better possible experiences. I have subsequently rented one of the properties, and Katy found me the perfect tenant. I have also referred several friends and family and we all sincerely agree that you will not find a more intelligent, kind and hard working agent. Katy is a true pleasure to work with and I would never consider using someone else.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was introduced to Katy Donovan by my partner in selling this house. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area, and had other listings and sales by our home. Katy's whole Connect group worked very hard at representing, from staging the house and many open houses. All of the ladies, Patricia, Elaine, Taylor and Katy are very upbeat and energetic. After talking with them for a short time, you feel as if you have known them for years. I would recommend Katy to any one in need of a great sales team!

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty was recommended to us when we were finding it difficult to rent our Newport condo. We couldnt get the exposure we needed to find a tennant. Within days of contacting Katy we were set up and ready. In two days Katy had the perfect renter and we had the condo rented immediately. We couldnt be happier doing business with Katy and her group, the best decision we made since we decided to rent our condo. Katy is detailed, efficient and reliable. She put our minds at ease and she understands our concerns and time restrictions. Katy came through for us after we wasted months without her. We highly recommend using Katy Donovan-Connect Real Estate Group.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty was such a pleasure to work with. I really can't express how lucky my fiance and I were to stumble across her. She put us first no matter the time of day. She alwaysbmade time for us even around her busy schedule. Being two full time parents it was hard enough to have time to ourselves nevermind finding the time to look for houses that matched our criteria and making time to meet with our realtor. Katy just made the whole home buying process almost easy, quick, and painless. She was always so polite, attentive, and patient with us not to mention extremely knowledgeable. Katy never treated us as clients but more so as friends. Overall we are thankful for Katy and everything she does. When it comes time to sell or even buy again she will be the first person we call. We very highly recommend Katy to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty sold my condo in June 2018.I met with her one year prior whenI began thinking of selling. I did review other realtors but was impressed with her people skills. I was a senior and had only one family member to assist me who lived at a distance, and unfortunately broke her foot just prior to selling. Katy helped herself and recommended resources for me. The property sold within one month.I would highly recommend her to others.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Katy was a wonderful experience. My family and I recently relocated from California to Rhode Island. Katy represented us in our home search from across the country. Katy is incredibly knowledgeable about the RI and MA real estate market and also has great insight into all of the different neighborhoods, schools, stores and restaurants. That insight helped us focus in on the areas that would best meet our needs and very quickly find the home and community of our dreams. Katy went above and beyond throughout the entire process and helped us identify a number of local contractors and service providers so we didn't need to stress about who we hired. We will absolutely use Katy again and would highly recommend Katy to anyone looking for a realtor they can trust.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen our family decided it was time to purchase a home we were given a reference to consult Katy. From the moment we started interacting, Katy knew what we wanted because she took the time to listen. We didnt have to look far to find our perfect home. The commutation lines were always open during negotiations and they were seamless. Katy is very firmly planted in the business and has many resources available to assist with the home buying process. She has a passion for her profession and it shows! If you want the best in the business look no further than Katy Donovan.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a fantastic experience with Katy from start to finish. We took a long time to sell our previous house, and so Katy was with us for about 6 months. During that time, we viewed many properties - Katy was always aware of houses that suited our needs that were due to hit the market, and contacted us to schedule viewings. She was very patient with our many questions, and really helped us understand the current market. She was always available, and was responsive to our wants/needs/limits in our home search. Katy has been in the local community and really knew her way around. It's clear she's been at this for awhile, and she really excels at what she does. I would not hesitate to call Katy again, should we decide to move again!

She is simply not a realtor, but a friend for life now. My family and I can't thank her enough for her help and generosity. It was more than a pleasure working with her and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that is thinking about renting, purchasing, or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty is the best. She knows the Newport market extremely well and coached me through the entire process. She was very patient with me. I took over two years to find the perfect place and she never gave up. She never took more than an hour to get back to me when I had an inquiry on a new place and answered every call immediately when I was going through the closing process. Then when I found the right place, she had many quality resources to recommend to me since I am new to the area. Her network of support was great to work with and that is because she is a true professional who takes real pride in her work surrounding herself with the best. Katy is more than my real estate agent. She is my first friend in Newport!! I look forward to my next purchase with Katy and wouldnt think about using anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaty Donovan is hands down one of the best agents I have ever worked with. After more than 40 years of realestate deals, she rises to the top of our list as the most hard working, diligent, relentless professionals, dedicated to getting the job done.

Review for Member: Kathryn (Katy) Donovan
ZillowVERIFIEDOur family had been working to become debt-free and then save for a down payment on a house when we first met with Katy. After living in an apartment, our family of 7 was finally ready for a forever home. Katy took the time, captured our needs, wants and desires. We weren't in a rush and the market had low inventory, so we were prepared for a wait. A few months later, she let us know of a home coming on the market and thought we should take a look. It was PERFECT. Just the right size, in the right neighborhood, with all the things we needed and so many of our wants - and in budget! The home buying process can be challenging these days, but Katy always had the right answer to our questions. She comes with years of experience, tons of knowledge about the market, a calm demeanor and references for great colleagues that were able to meet all of our needs. She went above and beyond in many cases to ensure a smooth transition for us and we are grateful to finally be home! I highly recommend Katy Donovan for your real estate needs.
