People of NC: Kathryn Robinson
Real estate is more than property—it’s about connecting people with spaces that fit their lifestyle, goals, and future. For Houston realtor Kathryn Robinson, with over 13 years of experience, success lies in pairing the right individual or family with the right home. We had the chance to sit down with Kat to learn more about her journey, her purpose, and the perspective she brings to her clients and community. Finding Her Calling In her early 30s, Kat began questioning what career would best align with her strengths. With encouragement from friends and family (who all suggested real estate) she took a leap. Starting out as an assistant, she worked her way up to become the seasoned professional she is today. Building Relationships, Not Just Closings For Kat, real estate is about people first. She thrives on relationship-building, whether with fellow realtors or the clients she celebrates life-changing wins with. One memorable moment was helping a couple land their dream home in Cypress. “They originally wanted to live closer to work, but we found this incredible million-dollar home surrounded by nature. It became their escape, a place to host and share with friends. It was completely off their radar, but it was exactly what they needed.” It’s this intuition that sets Kat apart. Her process goes deeper than bedrooms and square footage; she asks lifestyle-driven questions like, “Where are your favorite places to shop?” to better match her clients with homes that reflect who they are. A Houston Foodie & Community Leader Outside of real estate, Kat’s love for Houston shines through its food scene. Her favorites include Frenchies in Clear Lake, Kasra Persian Grill on Westheimer, and Doris Metropolitan on Shepherd for steaks. She’s not only a foodie but a leader in her industry as well. Kat has been an active volunteer with the Houston Association of Realtors for 12 years and currently serves as vice chair. By 2027, she’ll hold the title of Chair, continuing her mission to make homeownership more accessible by advocating for reduced property taxes and affordability measures. Purpose & Perspective Kat lives by the motto: “Leave whatever you touch even better.” Her advice? Focus on how people feel around you, always leave with a smile, and carry a calm, professional presence. Beyond her career, Kat is a dedicated single mother who balances her busy lifestyle with intention. She’s currently renovating her backyard, curating hanging art on the walls, and practicing unplugging from technology. It’s her way of protecting her family's mental health while nurturing their home life. She calls her home the “launch pad” and “landing pad.” Looking Ahead Whether she’s helping a family find their dream home, volunteering in the community, or creating a sanctuary for her own family, Kat reminds us that home is more than four walls—it’s where life restores and begins again.
