Katie Grant
Sales Manager
“I love selling to first time homebuyers and the relationships I get to build. I feel like I live in the neighborhood, and they are all my neighbors. Even after they close, they still pop in to say hi and chat.”
Born in Wisconsin where she attended the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, Katie has lived in Mansfield since 2008.
Katie has been in new home sales just over 7 years. After being a stay at home mom for 15 years, she started as a part-time sales assistant in the South Pointe community of Mansfield. Eager to learn and grow, Katie was promoted to full-time sales associate and assisted multiple sales managers across various communities. She quickly became proficient in sales, contracts, change orders and many other aspects that led her to be a sales manager of her very own townhome community.
Katie currently sells in Knights Landing on Eden Road in Arlington, Charleston in Mansfield, and The Retreat in Waxahachie.
