Agent Details

Meet Kathleen (Katie)

I’ve always had a desire to help others and seek out ways to do so, which naturally led me to a career in assisting people with their largest investment. I started out as a respiratory therapist in California before moving to Colorado, working for several years with acute and critical care adult patients, and then with pediatric and NICU patients at Colorado Children’s Hospital. Eventually, I ventured into medical sales. I fell in love with sales, seeing it as another way to help people solve their problems. That’s what I love most about being a real estate agent: I get to help people resolve issues and build wealth through homeownership.
 
My love of design, architecture, and real estate started as a child. After extensive remodeling of my own home and completing a few fix-and-flip projects, I began my real estate career. I work with a wide variety of clients, from first-time home buyers to downsizers. I’ve been able to strategically help my buyers get under contract in competitive situations by using cash lenders. Earning the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation allows me to understand and assist retirees, those wanting to retire, and anyone who wants to downsize their home and upsize their lifestyle.
 
A lifelong learner, I put myself through school while working, first earning an AA degree, then a bachelor’s degree, and finally an MBA from the University of Colorado, Denver. In real estate, I continue this process by attending classes, seminars, and self-directed learning, which empowers me to help my sellers sell their homes quickly, at top dollar, and help buyers find the home of their dreams in competitive offer situations.
 
In my free time, I like to cook, try new restaurants, hike, cycle, snowshoe, visit the DCPA for Broadway shows, dance Argentine Tango and volunteer.

Katie's Testimonials

Katie Rubano saw the benefits of buying instead of renting before I did! She is so aware of local real estate trends and more importantly for me, the realities of what it takes to purchase a home in an expensive market. I also want to point out a seemingly small detail from the start of my home search. Katie Rubano "interviewed" me as to my "must-haves" and "optionals" and I told her of my desire to move closer to the Boulder area, to Chautauqua, one of my favorite spots in Colorado. She created a property search that was within a 30-minute drive of Chautauqua. I was so touched that she not only listened to me very closely but also honored something that is very important to me. Katie Rubano is an invaluable real estate resource for anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. Jane
