NextHome Family Tree Realty

From the moment I decided to sell my home, Katie Pleger demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, care, and attention to detail. She guided me through every step of the process, ensuring that I felt confident and informed. Selling a home can be incredibly overwhelming, but Katie made it feel manageable and even exciting. I never felt like I had unanswered questions—and if I did, she provided clear, timely responses that kept everything on track.
This wasn’t just any house—it was the home my children saw as their very first. There was a lot of emotion wrapped up in the decision to sell, and Katie showed incredible patience and compassion as we worked through that. She never pushed us but gave us the time and space we needed to be truly ready. Her support through that emotional process made all the difference. It wasn’t just a transaction to her—it was a journey she walked with us, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
One of the most impressive aspects of Katie's service was how she handled my unique situation. I was preparing to leave the country during the transaction, and she proactively had all necessary documentation signed in advance to ensure that timelines were met without delay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that I could travel without worrying about anything falling through the cracks. Her ability to anticipate potential challenges and prepare for them ahead of time truly speaks to her expertise and commitment to her clients.
We also faced a particularly tricky situation with a broken cabinet door that, due to unforeseen circumstances, was going to take several weeks to fix—right in the middle of the selling process. While it was a stressful issue for both of us, Katie managed it with grace and professionalism. She communicated clearly with the buying agent, explained the situation honestly, and reassured all parties that the repair was underway. Her calm and poised approach has made for a positive experience for everyone involved.

Beyond the logistics, the aesthetic presentation of my home was truly incredible. The staging was absolutely stunning—elegant, warm, and inviting. The professional photos were so beautiful I almost didn’t want to move! Katie's eye for design, along with the expert team she brought in, made my house shine in a way I could never have imagined. Her communication with the title company and everyone involved was seamless. I always felt supported and in the loop. I would wholeheartedly recommend Katie Pleger to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I’m already looking forward to working with her again when I purchase my next home—there’s no one else I would trust more with something so important.

FYI: This is not a standard review

Katie is the heroine as written below.

Walking hand in hand through the reality of Realty
Expressing loving kindness with a heart full of knowledge
Mediator in battles, not of war but of words

Honesty prevailing as strategy begins:

Establishing an environment through wisdom and charm
Excelling in leadership skills, dignity and grace
Sharing line by line within
Revealing the text
Bringing light into darkness
Standing firm on her counsel
Being present until all parties agree
Meeting a notary at the end of the day
Signing final documents
Sending him on his way
Calling to check in whenever needed
Breathing in and out was her only advice

Katie is the Queen of Realty
Calling her today will change your life

Raven Jackson is an absolute amazing Real Estate Agent. She is there every step of the way and really cares about you and will guide you and protect your best interests in the sale of your home. If you want the best of the best you will not be disappointed with the outcome and the services you will receive from this professional and skilled agent. Thank you Raven Jackson, I sincerely believe that the outcome would not have been the same without you. Highly recommended if you want a stressless home sale.

Katie took us on knowing we were first time home buyers with no experience.
She accompanied us with our lender and answered a thousand questions we has patiently. She expertly asked us pertinent questions, getting us to focus on our wants, desires and needs in a house... then took us out looking at homes and pointing out important (to us) observations to further our knowledge in home buying. She worked around our crazy schedule and kept our spirits up when the market looked slow.
When we found a home we adored, Katie went to work, networking, writing the perfect offer and finding the answer to all the questions we had. She recommended inspectors, helped us set up appointments (and met us for those as well), making sure all of our questing and concerns were answered.
Katie always stayed in contact with us, answered texts almost immediately and was so helpful and pleasant to work with!
I would 100% recommend her! She helped us feel confident and in control AND got us in our forever home!

From start to finish Katie was fantastic. As first time buyers she made the process smoother than we thought it could be. She gave us a lot of information at the beginning but broke it down step by step in a way that made the process go from looking like a daunting list of tasks to cross off to a walk in the park.

She was always positive and on top of where we were in the process on her side and with our lender. There were a couple places that were scooped up that we wanted causing us to drift into disheartened territory. But Katie was able to keep our eyes on the prize. With each house we didnt get the next one was that much better. Like they say "the third times the charm" the 3rd house we were dead set on we ended up closing on.

Thanks to Katie and her consistent communication with our lender and my wife and I, we were even able to close earlier than expected.

If we decide to buy again she will definitely be our number 1 pick!

I recommend Raven Jackson to anybody selling or looking for a home to call their own! She is an honest, helpful and agent. She goes above and beyond to help you sell or purchase. Very informative and thee to help you with any questions you have. They only allow you to give raven a 5 but I give her a 10!!

Katie was not only our realtor, but also our coach. All of her efforts were focused on what was best for us. She is very detail-oriented and a master of communication. She always asked for our input, but also offered advice when appropriate. Katie is a great listener, and has vast knowledge of the “up to date” real estate business. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She is passionate about her business and is quick to share her knowledge. Most importantly, Katie is filled with honesty and truth. We never imagined that the experience would move so smoothly.

Raven is the best I have ever worked with.
She is timely in her responses and resolves the issues quickly.
I recommend her without any hesitation.

Katie went above and beyond in order to get us the house that we wanted. She had a lot of obstacles and did a great job handling them. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Katie was amazing! She's with you every step of the way. She went over and beyond to help us get our home. 5 ?? is definitely not enough for what she did for us!!

Katie is phenomenal at what she does. More than a realtor, she showed us kindness and compassion also. Her attention to detail in the sale of my mothers home was very comforting. We knew what was happening or going to happen every step of the way. Throughout the entire process nothing fazed her. Knowing your trade is one thing but she consistently went above the nuts and bolts of the sale. We knew what was going on daily and with a genuine concern for my mothers and my emotions as we proceeded through the preparation of the house and sale. Updates and messages were often done in person rather than an email or text. She would go out of her way to make sure we understood everything that was transpiring and never tried to rush our meetings. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We always enjoyed our visits and meetings. We were number one and the most important thing she was doing. I could have easily become an emotional wreck but I did not have to do any hard lifting, situations were explained and everything went so smoothly for us. Thank you, Katie!

Exceeded all expectations! Raven really did make selling my home effortless and was always available to assist and answer questions. Her consistency in the process made me feel very comfortable and that I had the right person on my team.

Katie is an amazing Agent! She is intelligent, caring, and loyal. She is always looking out for her client's best interests.

In my situation having someone like Katie there to help guide me, and keep me updated on every aspect of the sale process. Thank you Katie, for your kind attentive service.

I recommend Katie Pleger.

Sincerely,
Ryan M.

Katie is not just a dedicated real estate agent. She is the ultimate professional who is fully committed to her clients. She takes the time to patiently guide them through every step to ensure they understand the process and are happy with the outcome.

Her kind spirit fuels her to go above and beyond to take care of her clients' needs to the point where she not only becomes their biggest advocate but their friend as well.

I highly recommend her services for any real estate needs you may have!

Katie helped a resident who moved into my Senior Community prepare her home for sale. She brought in an Estate sales person and organized everything. My resident and her family are thrilled with the great care Katie has given throughout this transaction.
I will continue to refer Katie business knowing she will always give outstanding service. I know my resident and her family will refer Katie to their friends.
Great job Katie!!!!

I cannot say enough about Katie as a realtor. She has gone 100% above and beyond for her customer, which happens to be my customer through an estate sale as well. She has spent hours of her time helping during this entire process. I've witnessed how she interacts with the owners and she is very knowledgeable and kind.

I surely hope to work with Katie again. It would be my pleasure.

Raven Jackson is the best agent. She is on top of her game. It was a pleasure to work with her. Whatever goes up she handles it timely and professionally. I was honored to work with her.

Raven helped me with the purchase of a Investment property. Raven was a pleasure to work with. She stayed in constant communication throughout the process. She understood my needs and made the process go very smooth. She even referred me to a contractor who she highly trust. Hope to continue doing business with you. Thank you Raven!

Katie did a great job helping us through the process of selling our families home from trust to a family member. We’d use her again in buying/selling another property. I’d recommend her services to any perspective buyer or seller.

Katie is a very personable professional. She worked with us through the buying process of our new to us home. Helping us through the entire process with under that this is our first home purchase. Katie and her team of professionals assisted us through the process and took extra time and effort to make sure we had everything we needed and recommended other teams to help with repairs that were needed to make the house a home. My wife and I are extremely appreciative of everything she has done for us.

Katie and her crew did a great job helping our family navigate a difficult time after the passing of my father. Her experience and knowledge made selling our home a breeze. Katie is very professional and made sure we understood everything and was able to answer all our questions throughout the transaction. I highly recommend her. Thanks again Katie, it was a pleasure doing business with you.
