Katharine Nichols
LICENSED REAL-ESTATE AGENT
Graduating from Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Science degree, Kat obtained her real estate license soon after moving to Houston in 2010 and has been a successful, top producing Realtor® ever since. Kat is best known for her ability to handle stressful situations with a calm and composed disposition. Her devotion to her clients and their well-being allows her to keep their best interests at the forefront of her mind. Kat prides herself in her honest approach to real estate and is always looking for ways to improve her level of service.
“Purchasing and selling a home can be a very stressful and emotional experience. My job is to stay calm throughout the process, while also achieving the best results for my clients“ Kat says. Don’t be fooled by her relaxed disposition, though. Kat is always anticipating the next step and is never one to go into a transaction unprepared. It’s no surprise that Kat has built her business on referrals, something she finds to be the best compliment any one of her clients could give her.
When Kat first began her career in real estate, her main focus was assisting young professionals in finding a rental home within the Inner Loop area. Since then, those same clients have bought their first home with her, started their own families, sold their first home and purchased their second home with her help. “One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is following a client from when they first moved to Houston, to when they met their future spouse, purchased their first home and started their own family. It’s truly a blessing to be able to help someone through all the many stages of their life.”
Since moving to Houston, Kat married her high school sweetheart, Corben Nichols, and they have since started a family of their own. “My daughter has already taught me so much about life. I feel that I’m a better person and Realtor than I was before - more caring, giving and a better listener. Parenthood has shown me the importance of pouring your time, your love and your energy into this other human who is completely dependent on you.”
As a seller and buyer, you are dependent on your agent to facilitate and execute a smooth transaction through whatever obstacles you may encounter. No Realtor is the same and it is important to find one who not only possesses the needed skillset, but also the integrity and caring nature to make it a successful transaction. Kat is that Realtor.
When Kat isn’t working, you can find her spending quality time with her family and friends in the Oak Forest/Garden Oaks and Heights areas. “I remember when I first moved to Houston and instantly falling in love with the Heights. It has that small town feel, while still offering all the amazing amenities that come with city life.” Catalina Coffee, the shops on 19th St, Graham Park, and Heights Mercantile are a few of her favorite local spots. She also enjoys running at Memorial Park or the Buffalo Bayou with her dog, Delilah, taking an early morning yoga class at BIG Yoga, and grocery shopping (oddly enough).

What clients are saying..
“
I was relocating to Houston from Jackson, MS for work and had no knowledge of the Houston area. Kat helped me figure out which neighborhoods would be ideal for me. I had a pretty demanding list of needs like commute, budget, and a large dog. Within a day, Kat sent me a list of apartments and rental houses that fit all of my criteria. Not only was Kat efficient and effective, she was friendly and enthusiastic about working with me.

Stop searching - and call Kat now if you are looking for a place in Houston! Not only did Kat assess my needs, she also visited my choices for me (I was working out of the country) to take pictures. I have no doubts in recommending Kat.

I recently relocated to Houston from Dallas for a new job. I was extremely nervous about finding a place to live not knowing anything about the city. Not only did Kat help me find the perfect place, but she even put together a list of cool restaurants, shops, and bars I should try! I was so lucky to find such a wonderful agent to work with. Whether you're just looking for a new place or you're moving to town for the first time, I highly recommend letting Kat help you with your search!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kat to find an apartment in Houston. I was on a time crunch as I literally only had two days to find an place due to circumstances with a long distance move for a new job. Kat was recommended to me by a friend in Houston so I sent her an e-mail with the days I would be available for apartment hunting, what I was looking for, and a price range. She was eager to help despite the short notice and quickly sent me a list of places that met my needs with pictures, a detailed description and her input on each option. I let her know which ones I wanted to check out and the next day she picked me up from my hotel for an afternoon of apartment tours. As we visited the complexes, Kat pointed out key features and asked questions of the various property managers to assist me in my decision. It was clear that she wanted me to be extremely satisfied with whatever place I chose. I ended up finding a great place that met all my desires. Kat is highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly and I certainly recommend working with her.

When I made the decision to move closer to work I had roughly 5 weeks to find a new apartment. Being picky I should have known it would come down to the wire due to my inability to pick an apartment building. Thank goodness Kat was my agent. Despite my indecisiveness she remained patient with me and provided me with many options to choose from until I found what I was looking for. Without Kat's thorough research and knowledge I would have never been able to find the right place and most likely would have settled for another year at my former residence. She shows up on time and is fully prepared and is a joy to be around. I highly recommend Kat as you will not be dissapointed. Thank you Kat for keeping my best interest at heart. I truly appreciate you.

When I realized it was very likely I'd be relocating from Ohio to Houston, I started looking for a place to live. I stumbled upon the Urban Leasing site and was immediately sent a list of apartments from Kat. Having never been to Houston, I was somewhat overwhelmed until I looked over this list, picked a few places and decided to try to check them out when I was in town for a final interview. I instantly felt comfortable in following whatever advice she gave me, as she seemed to know what I wanted before I even said a word! In my limited time, she was able to show me a few areas of the city-something that influenced my acceptance of the job offer when it came! She was excited as I was when I found what I definitely feel is "my perfect home." I had many questions about relocating and she answered every single one. I've recommended her to anyone who is looking for a new place and will continue to do so. Thank you Kat for all your help and encouragement, it is certainly much appreciated!

My husband was recently relocated to the Houston area from Oklahoma City. We were so fortunate that we were able to work with Kat through our move process. She really made our transition seamless! My husband and I are pretty picky when it comes to what we like and she always was so patient with us through the whole process! She is truly a joy to work with and I would recommend her services to anyone who is in the market for a new place to live!! Kat- thank you so much for all of your help and for being so kind and attentive. We really appreciate you!!

I have recently accepted a job, which required me to relocate to the Houston area from Baton Rouge,LA. Kat was able to walk with me through the entire process. While I was still living in Baton Rouge she was able to send me listings of great places that included all the things I requested. It only took one weekend of viewing these listings with Kat to find a new home. It has everything that I asked her for. Without Kat this move to Houston would have been impossible. She has a great sense of understanding what her clients want in a home. Added bonus; she is a pleasure to be around! I would recommend her services to anyone who is the market for a new home.
