Katy Porte

Katy Porte’s commitment and enthusiasm for Brooklyn, its brownstones and its people, is unparalleled. With an acute understanding of the personal and essential nature of finding a home, Katy’s meticulous attention to detail and unmitigated resolve make her the perfect agent to help guide anyone and everyone through the odyssey of renting or purchasing in NYC. A resident of Brooklyn for nearly a decade, she is a civic and service minded professional with a strong sense of community and a driving desire to satisfy her clients and customers. Katy has a keen eye and sharp real estate sensibility while maintaining a down to earth, practical and holistic approach to properties and people. Her obsession with real estate began with the search for and purchase of her first home. She feels strongly that an honest and hard working agent can positvely impact the way a person shuffles around and ultimately settles into New York City. Integrity, efficiency, and respect for people are values she holds dear in her personal and professional life. A Masters in the Fine Arts from Yale University informs and inspires her passion for thoughtful and artful living. Katy has fostered deep roots in Brooklyn’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Before real estate she spent years networking and connecting as a baker, illustrator, a restaurant consultant, director and curator for a handful of Brooklyn’s finest galleries. Born and raised just 45 minutes north of the city, Katy has the kind of intimate understanding of New York as only a native can. She knows this city east, west, north and south while also continuing to be inspired by it. Katy’s dedication to real estate travels beyond the “stoop” so to speak. She and her family live in Bedford Stuyvesant where they cook and create, live and dream. Whether, driving, walking, biking, shopping, eating, gardening Katy’s mantra is “Cultivating community”.
