More Than Real Estate

Hi, I’m Katie Smith — a Northeast Florida REALTOR® dedicated to more than just transactions. For me, real estate is about people, stories, and creating the right space for every season of life.

Born and raised on the westside of Jacksonville, I know this region inside and out. From sunny beach days during my years at UNF to building my family’s home on raw land in Baker County, I’ve experienced firsthand the diverse lifestyles Northeast Florida has to offer. That deep local knowledge allows me to not only help customers buy or sell a home, but also to connect them with communities that truly fit their goals and dreams.

Before real estate, I spent over a decade in roles centered around helping others through some of life’s most challenging moments. With a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in social welfare, I built my career in service-based fields where listening, problem-solving, and advocacy were essential. From interviewing families and providing support during difficult transitions to working with veterans in a mental health capacity as an operational specialist, I learned how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and ensure people always felt seen and supported. Those same skills now set me apart as a REALTOR®.

Customers choose me because I bring a unique mix of empathy, resilience, and strategy to every situation. My CliftonStrengths and DISC profile aren’t just personality labels — they shape how I show up and work for you. I don’t shy away from challenges; with strengths like Restorative and Responsibility, I take ownership and see things through until they’re resolved. As an Achiever with a Futuristic outlook, I work hard in the present while also keeping an eye on how your decisions today will impact your goals tomorrow. With Relator and Individualization, I take the time to truly understand what matters most to you and make the experience feel personal — not one-size-fits-all. My strengths in Input, Ideation, and Connectedness mean I’m always bringing fresh ideas, resources, and relationships that add value to your experience. And with a CS profile on the DISC assessment, I’m steady under pressure, detail-oriented, and precise — so contracts, negotiations, and deadlines are handled with care and accuracy.

What ties it all together is that my strengths cover every area you’d want in an agent: Strategic Thinking allows me to analyze and make smart decisions, Executing makes sure I follow through and get results, Influencing helps me advocate for your best interests, and Relationship Building ensures you always feel connected and supported. At the end of the day, my customers know they’re not just working with someone who can handle the details — they’re working with someone who cares deeply, communicates clearly, and makes the entire process feel less stressful and more rewarding.

As a mom of two, I understand that a home is more than walls and a roof — it’s where families grow, milestones are celebrated, and everyday moments turn into lifelong memories. Whether you’re buying your very first home, upsizing for your family, relocating for a fresh start, or preparing to sell, I’ll be by your side throughout the process, making sure you feel confident, cared for, and protected every step of the way.



With local expertise, strong negotiation skills, and a heart for service, I don’t just help people move — I help them move forward.
