Native Houstonian Kate Cancelmo relishes her demanding real estate career and the diverse opportunities it presents for growth and success. Kate prides herself on going the extra mile in every transaction and providing unsurpassed client service. Her once nickname, "Can-do Cancelmo" captures that spirit to a tee.
Before becoming a Realtor, Kate worked in the investment management industry, an experience she says honed her communication skills and now helps her to be one step ahead of her clients. "There's such a sense of fulfillment when I've helped my clients gain what they set out to achieve," she says.
Kate attended West U Elementary, Lanier Middle School, and Lamar High School. From there she went to Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia where she graduated with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. During college, Kate spent a semester abroad studying art and architecture in Paris while absorbing the culture from her French host family. Kate credits her education and upbringing for her ability to envision the potential in a house that is less than perfect. She uses her eye for architecture and interior design to suggest possibilities buyers may not have considered and to guide sellers as they prepare their homes for sale.
Kate also spent cherished summers in the Texas Hill Country at Camp Mystic. "I'm still in touch with my Mystic friends and greatly value those relationships. My growing network has taught me that you never know where your connections will take you, and I now use those resources to benefit my buyers and sellers."
Kate shares a love for the outdoors with her brother, a TCU graduate, and her parents who taught her the meaning of hard work and the importance of helping others. Kate serves as a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Breeders Greeters Committee Member and Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation – Stewards of the Wild Houston Chapter Member. She is a parishioner at St. Anne Catholic Church, enjoys playing league tennis, cooking, and walking her Irish doodle, Rita.

Kate helped me sell a house to buyers that I was very happy with, at a price that I was very happy with, during the first few weeks of the coronavirus crisis here in the U.S. Truly amazing! She was very responsive in her communications, kept the process moving forward quickly, and listened to what I wanted to do. She explained things clearly, and I felt as though I had the expertise of not only Kate herself but the whole Greenwood King office on board. Working with Kate was a positive experience with a great outcome!
I cannot say enough good things about Kate Cancelmo. I met her in February after friends who had used her as their realtor recommended her. I interviewed her against 3 other agents (all well respected in Houston), and she blew me away in the interview, so I hired her on the spot. I saw that she has something that you cannot teach, something I call “fire in her belly”. She’s smart as a whip, yes, but I also saw that she was going to work harder to sell my house than everyone else I spoke to. She had a plan, she had extensive market knowledge, she wanted to be successful, and she was ready to work hard.
And then a global pandemic called “Coronavirus” showed up. And I lost all hope that my house would sell in the near future. BUT KATE NEVER LOST HOPE.
She continued to work her tail off, and in the middle of the entire country being shutdown, she got my house under contract. And at a price higher than I ever thought possible. She had my house closed and funded in 27 days. TWENTY-SEVEN DAYS. DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
I am so incredibly pleased with the work Kate did, and I will use her for every real estate transaction I have going forward (buying or selling).
