Her professionalism, deep market knowledge, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was 100% dedicated to helping us find our perfect home, and we couldn’t be happier!

Kate was incredible to work with during my home purchase. She kept my priorities front and center, gave honest and thoughtful advice, and brought together a home buying team of absolute superstars. Everything went smoothly and I felt supported the whole way. I’m so happy with the outcome. Highly recommend! ~Luke T.

Kate Heckele is a powerhouse! Her persistence and dedication were unmatched—she fought for our rights every step of the way and never backed down from tough negotiations. Kate doesn’t just close deals; she champions her clients and makes sure the outcome is nothing short of the best. We couldn’t have asked for a stronger advocate in our corner!!!! ~Noel L.

“Kate got it done when no one else could.” HONEST & HARD WORKING I worked with several of the “big name” realtors in San Juan County trying to sell my house in Friday Harbor. All of them promised premium results—but none of them could deliver. The property sat with little movement, price cuts looming, and interest fading. That changed the moment I handed the keys to Kate at KCH Realty. Kate didn’t just list my home—she marketed it. She understood the story of the house, its character, and how to present it to the right buyer. She didn’t chase the market—she set the tone. Her negotiation skills, attention to detail, and sense of urgency were head and shoulders above the rest. Within weeks, I had multiple showings, real interest, and eventually a maximum bid that beat what any other agent had even floated. Kate’s blend of local expertise and high-caliber professionalism made all the difference. She’s strategic, honest, and relentless in getting results—and in Friday Harbor, that’s gold. I rarely write reviews, but when someone genuinely earns it, they deserve to be recognized. KCH Realty is the only agency I would trust on the island. Period. ~Will S.
