Katie Wakefield's Success Stories

My family had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Katie Wakefield and Firefly. She worked around our schedule, gave us her honest opinion, and (we believe) set us up for success! Her advice and expertise were always welcomed and she as always flexible. At times, even though we know she had numerous other clients, we felt like the only one based on her attention to detail and personal touch. Thank you Katie and Firefly for a seamless selling experience. You are the best!

When it was finally time to purchase my first home there was no question as to who I was going to work with for the largest purchase of my life, Katie Wakefield! I met Katie almost 10 years ago. We share a passion for coaching Special Olympic soccer and each Spring I look forward to coaching with her. I knew I could trust her to guide me through the process of home ownership because Katie cares about people and her community. When I was sure there would never be a house on the market that would fit in my budget with all my wants and needs she was there to ensure me that it would happen, and she was right! I will never forget the day she (yep! she personally, not an email blast) sent me the listing for my home. It was everything I was hoping to find and more and she knew it. Her personal touch and attention to detail is hard to find and I just love how she shares in your excitement when it all starts to come together. Katie is an expert in her filed. If you are looking for a Realtor, stop, because you have found her.

Katie Wakefield was wonderful to work with. I am a first time home buyer and she held my hand through the whole process, even parts that probably weren’t technically her job. She had great suggestions for service companies in the area as well which was so helpful since we were moving up from Chicago. I will recommend Katie to everyone I know! 10 out of 10 service!

Kate was a blessing to me and my fiancé, Megan. The search for our first property was initially an intimidating and high-stress experience. Being first time home-buyers, the most important attribute we were looking for in an agent was someone we could trust. From our first meeting with Kate, her professionalism, patience, knowledge of the markets and process, and genuine personality were more than enough to turn our anxiety into a feeling of ease. Upon finding our “perfect” first home, we put in an offer the following day. In as competitive of a market as we were purchasing in, Kate’s ability to move quickly and confidently was amazing. We have found a real estate agent for life!

The attention & personal service we received from Katie Wakefield was wonderful. She was very organized & walked us thru every step of the home selling & home buying process. Her vast knowledge of the Wauwatosa area helped us find the right house in our dream location. She was respectful, patient & a lot of fun to work with! We would highly recommend Katie to anyone selling or buying a new home!

Katie Wakefield made our first home purchase seamless. Katie helped us identify attractive locations to meet our needs, worked in a condensed time frame, and delivered high-quality service to us while we were living in Texas. We have already recommended Katie to our friends and colleagues and would continue to do so.

My husband and I have used Katie Wakefield & the Firefly team for 3 different home sales in the past 6 months. Real estate transactions are stressful in the best of situations, but Katie ‘s attention to detail, attentiveness and calming demeanor made everything go smoothly. Katie has a detailed plan for every sale from start to finish which only maximizes your chances of success. When we sold our personal home, Katie had a checklist of everything to prepare before it went on the market. After following her directions, we sold our house in one day with 4 offers over asking. We cannot recommend her enough and will always use her in the future.

Working with Katie was such a pleasant and rewarding experience. Our growing family needed a different space for the future but we knew we wanted to stay in Wauwatosa. Katie listed and sold our first home and helped us in our search for our next property. Throughout the entire house hunt, she understood our criteria and never tried to push us beyond our financial comfort level. We felt like she really understood what we wanted and needed in our next home and encouraged us to be patient until the right house became available. We were definitely rewarded! Not only do we have a wonderful home, but we have also gained a friend and neighbor in Katie. We recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Wauwatosa area.

After hearing friends’ horror stories about the home buying process and first meeting with a different realtor, the nerves set in – we were worried we would never find our first house. But within the first couple minutes of meeting Katie, we knew we’d found exactly the right person who could help make that dream come true. She not only took the anxiety out of the process, but she actually made finding and purchasing our home something memorable and exciting. From sticking to our price point and location, to helping us navigate the many appointments we needed to set up during the offer and inspection process, Katie helped us become very happy first-time home buyers. We are thrilled with our new home, and with our Firefly Real Estate experience. We can’t recommend Katie enough to friends (and even strangers!).
