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. 

As a successful full-time Realtor in the Houston area, I bring energy, professionalism and strong negotiating skills to every real estate transaction. I have been a leading sales agent for over nineteen years and attribute my success not only to my passion for real estate but to my affinity to develop connections and relationships.





I have an extensive knowledge of the close-in submarkets including those who seek the luxury lifestyle. High end buyers and sellers seek out my knowledge to know which market areas and home features will meet their lifestyle needs. For sellers, I take an individualized approach, knowing that each home has special aspects that will appeal to its ideal buyer. Clients receive an exceptional level of strategic marketing, transaction management services and an integrated network of long-standing relationships with affiliated real estate service providers, to deliver any assistance that clients may need throughout the entire process.





I recognize and value the trust my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations.
