Print Agent BioI've been a Real Estate Broker since 2004 and have been at The Hasson Company ever since. I feel privileged to be a part of a local company with so many active, successful agents. Born and raised in Portland, I live in the NW area with my husband and boys. I love living in Portland, although I do have to admit there are many days during the winter that I long for sunshine and blue skies!
I’m a University of Portland Pilot through and through! My Dad, Joe Etzel was the longtime U.P. Athletic Director and our entire family are proud UP graduates. I graduated with a degree in Nursing and worked as an RN for over 15 years. Most of my nursing career was spent at OHSU, first as a floor nurse and then as a case manager. A self-proclaimed "mid-career crisis" led me to Real Estate, which I love.
My husband Mike became a licensed broker a couple years ago and started working with me in 2021. Mike has an extensive background in sales & marketing which has been a welcome resource to our team. His easy going personality and sense of humor is an added plus!
Both our boys were 2020 graduates. Needless to say, missing their graduation ceremonies & fun that goes along with it was disappointing, but we made the best of it. My oldest son, Matthew, graduated from the University of Portland, he secured a job shortly after & lived at home for awhile. He is now in an apartment living life & just accepted a new job. My younger son, Connor, graduated from Jesuit HS and is now attending Oregon State, enjoying belonging to a Frat & navigating college life during a pandemic. I'm definitely missing their sporting events and school activities, but I always seem to find something to keep me busy. We have fun together as a family, whether it's hanging around the fire pit, cheering on our favorite teams, doing something active outdoors or spending time in Central Oregon. Our Goldendoodle, Charlie adds another layer of fun into our daily lives. Gardening, decorating, hiking, pilates & volunteering are just a few of the other things I enjoy. The fight against Alzheimers is dear to my heart - my sweet mom suffers from it and the need for a cure is so desperately needed.
Who says you can't go home. . . My husband and I bought the home I grew up in from my parents when they decided to downsize several years ago. It's been fun raising our boys in the home I grew up in. We love the location, the neighborhood, backing to a park and adding our personal touch over time. We went from living in a new home for 11 years to a mid-century home with a big yard, so there is always a project!
Referrals are the ultimate compliment and testimony to my service. My goal is to be the realtor you think of when you are contemplating buying or selling and the one you refer to family and friends. I pride myself on my friendly, professional approach and I will always have your best interest in mind. I would love the opportunity to represent you!

Kathy made the entire process of selling our home seamless. From first contact to closing she provided timely communication and expert advice. The Portland market is distinct and having her knowledge and experience working with us was important in navigating the process. She provided all the relevant up to date market data that allowed us to make informed decisions. She was very willing to talk through all the scenarios that played into our decisions. With a game plan mapped out she assisted us with all the local professionals, from staging to service providers her network is extensive. We received multiple offers and she presented them all in a easy to navigate spreadsheet so we could easily compare the offers. Kathy is outstanding at negotiations and always kept us current on all communication. This entire transaction was handled while we were out of the country; not a small task. Her level of professionalism was apparent at every turn and she provided customer care which was above and beyond. Dan & Pat Thank you so much for all your help with the sale of our house. You went way above the call of duty and we truly appreciate all your help.

"Kathy is amazing! She is knowledgeable, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She kept us up to date on new listings that met our criteria and was super flexible when scheduling viewings and answering all of our questions. She was honest about the challenges of the current market which really helped us know what to expect. She was also willing to offer her experience and advice when we viewed houses together and as first time buyers this was something we greatly appreciated. Working with Kathy to find a home was like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. She really cares about her clients and ensuring they find what they are looking for. Also, her connections to vendors/contractors in the area was also extremely helpful in getting our new home set up. When we buy again we would definitely reach out to Kathy again!"

Kathy did an excellent job selling our house. She gave helpful advice on what we should do to get the house ready for sale and had a Rolodex of quality and reasonably priced contractors to help get the work done well and quickly. She was friendly and easy to work with as we walked through the listing, bid receiving and home inspection process - which is always a little nerve racking. We were really happy with the process and feel good we got the best deal we could have gotten for our house, thanks to her efforts!
