Katia is happy to call the DMV her home for the past 20-plus years with her husband, Geoff, her daughters, Sofia and Gabriela, and their pup, Max. Growing up abroad as a Navy brat who moved houses often, she had the privilege to experience the beauty of different cultures both in European and Latin American countries. At a very young age, Katia learned the wonderful value of having a home where one can create lifetime memories. She always loved going to open houses as a child, imagining the possibilities of the transformation that might occur once her family moved in. The right home gives the opportunity to lay roots and build a strong foundation with family, friends, and community through shared experiences, meals around tables, or (Katia’s favorite) cooking together in the heart of the house: the kitchen.
