Katie Dochen is a proud native Austinite with deep roots in the community and a passion for helping clients navigate the complexities of real estate. After living in New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and New York, Katie returned to her hometown in 2018 to join the family business, inspired by her mother’s decades of success as a trusted REALTOR®. Watching her mom build meaningful relationships with clients and positively impact their lives shaped Katie’s approach to real estate—grounded in care, professionalism, and a solutions-oriented mindset.
With two master’s degrees, including an MBA, and a professional background spanning the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her role. Her expertise in consulting, communications, project management, and client service enables her to expertly guide clients through the buying and selling process. Whether navigating a first-time home purchase or managing the intricacies of a complex sale, Katie’s strategic, empathetic approach ensures her clients feel supported every step of the way.
Katie’s life is full of joy, thanks to her spunky and energetic baby daughter, born in late 2023, and her hilarious rescue dog, who adds charm to their family adventures. She spends her free time exploring Austin’s vibrant neighborhoods, practicing yoga, enjoying live music, or hosting her monthly supper club to bring neighbors together. Katie is deeply involved in her community, mentoring through Communities In Schools, volunteering with local nonprofits, and serving as a board member for her neighborhood association.
