With over 10 years as an active Realtor in Houston Kat Robinson leads with "knowledge is power" as her motto. Teaching and providing information for her clients on market and property conditions, contract procedures, and loan processes can propel well-informed decisions. Those decisions make all the difference when it comes to pulling into the driveway or preparing to list. Her clients have described her as 'trustworthy,' 'helpful' and 'genuinely invested.' When you choose Kat, you choose a girl who will go the extra mile to give great customer service with a smile.

On the personal side, Kat is a farmgirl from Northeast Oklahoma. She was a cheerleader through high school and college. She received her Bachelor's degree from Mid-America Christian University and completed courses toward her Master's degree at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

For fun, she enjoys walking down the tree-lined streets of her neighborhood, yoga, trying new restaurants, and most of all reading and playing soccer with her little boy. Kat is heavily involved in leadership within the local, state, and national associations serving in executive leadership. In her community, she is a member of University Baptist Church and supports The Landing, an organization that helps victims of human trafficking, and the Art League of Houston which supports local artists.

A dedicated mother and grandmother, Cathy believes that strong communities begin at home. Cathy has also volunteered countless hours to charities to help ensure that Washington County and surrounding areas are better places to live and work. “Come Home to your heritage” is Cathy’s belief and extends to her clients.
