Testimonials
Jim & I would like to thank Kate for the wonderful way she took on the task to sell our home. We would also like to thank her for helping us find a new home which would be more convenient and suitable for us at this time. We loved our dream house but it was time to move on. I’ll always remember how she came to our door through rain and snow with paper, information and for our signatures. She is a gifted lady and knows her field from top to bottom. I think of her, not just as a business professional, but as our guardian angel. Thanks for being there & God Bless. -Anne & James Morrissey, May 2023
Kate and her team were tremendous, presented and sold the home easily and fast, did everything she promised, and facilitated the sale for my Mother and myself. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!! – Mark Juron, April 2023
With Kate’s help we sold our beloved home in Saratoga. One of her many great attributes is her habit of responding immediately to any text or email inquiry received. She always competently replied with an answer or solution to any concern we had. Kate is a generous and kind person who makes the whole endeavor enjoyable and stress free. Her team of photographers took pictures that made our offering look great. She has and offers innovative and effective strategies that were very helpful, and made our sale very satisfying to both us and the buyers as well. Kate is five plus out of five, and we would recommend her to everyone. Thanks for all Kate! – Tim, March 2023
Katie has a wonderful personality with a great smile. She is very knowledgeable with all of her real estate experience. – Deborah Quinn, March 2023
We successfully worked with Kate before. She continues to be a consummate professional. Every facet of our selling journey worked. Kate was always available, responded to our questions, and solved problems. Very thorough and sold our home as promised! – Marty & Donna Canavan, January 2023
Kate’s promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, good energy made the selling process simple. She went above & beyond and truly made me feel like I had a confidant/partner throughout. I would highly recommend her and look to utilize her services again when a future need arises. – Stephanie Winters, October 2022
Kate was awesome!! She was patient, kind, fun, and always made herself available for last minute showings! – Bobbi Jo Lucas, October 2022
Kate was a pleasure to work with. She took care of all aspects of our recent sale, from showings, contracts and right down to the personal delivery of proceeds. She is professional and friendly in her salesmanship. I have used her services in the past and I will trust her with all my future purchases and sales. Thank you Roohan Realty for great staff, as well! – Margaret Krasnicki
Kate was excellent! Always available to answer questions and address any concerns. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her! – Michelle Granger, January 2022
I have bought and sold investment properties, in addition to my home and recreational properties. I must say, Kate Naughton was fantastic. First, she was spot on with the pricing and market conditions. Secondly, her knowledge and experience was very obvious especially when there was a bump in the road. She made it a very easy transaction. I can’t say enough good things about her and have ZERO regrets about using her. I have never been able to say that about a realtor, until now. Thank you, Kate. – Lenny Fornabia, June 2021
Kate is a super-star! We tried selling our house with other agents without success. Kate’s knowledge of the local market, and managing the discussions with the buyers, left us extremely pleased with the transaction. Thumbs up/5-stars! – Karen & John Rappleyea, April 2021
Kate was incredibly helpful, kind and supportive throughout our search and closing. She’s deeply knowledgeable, always available and has an extensive referral network for anything you need for your new home. – Chris Harrison, March 2021
Kate was super easy to work with. She was available to answer our questions and address any concerns in a timely fashion. She is knowledgeable and friendly. She really made this process easy for us! – Carol, March 2021
Buying and selling a home during a pandemic with young children could have been very stressful but our realtor, Kate Naughton, made the process painless. She was a great source of information and assistance and her presence was always calming and comforting. We closed on our old house and new house on the same day so the logistics of moving our belongings was tricky. The complementary Roohan moving truck was the perfect solution. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Kate. – Kerri Forguites, November 2020
Kate understands the area very well, she evaluated and priced our home perfectly. It sold quickly at a price higher than we expected. She responded to questions quickly and helped us navigate through the sales process. The use of a moving truck, free boxes and tape are added perks. I highly recommend her and Roohan Realty when you are buying or selling in the area. – Phillip Zenowich, November 2020
Kate is the best! So easy to work with, always available to answer any question we had and over all excellent customer service! – Francine Apy, July 2020
Kate was amazing! Particularly as I tried to prepare and sell our house from afar, Kate helped me stay confident, relaxed and laughing. She was always there for an “I can help you with that!” She was so thorough on every aspect of the process, giving practical advice along the way and even represented me at the closing when I couldn’t be there. And…did I mention the use of the Roohan truck? It was essential as I cleared out my property in two days! -Kathryn Burns, September 2019
Bought the first house we were shown … She hit all our must haves in the first house! Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. -Margaret Lyons, March 2019

We have bought/sold multiple homes with Katie. Having an agent that is just a text away, always responding within minutes, is invaluable. Her advice helped us sell our home quickly and efficiently. On the buying end, her patience and attention to detail helped us find two perfect homes. If you need an agent that is truly an expert in her field, pick Katie Naughton! -Michael Shannon, September 2018
Dear Kate, Thank you for making magic out of our home buying experience. From the moment you greeted us at the early Sunday morning Open House for what was to become our new home, Debbie and I felt a genuine connection to you through the sincerity of your words and the welcoming warmth of your smile. Moving from Long Island to Saratoga you became our first and only broker, showing us the first and only house we were to see! They say that a true first impression is everlasting. Such was the impression we had of you, and the impression you helped us to form of our new home. Our confidence in proceeding so quickly came from our love of the house and the trust that we had in you as you closed a deal that made everyone happy. Only later back in your office did I understand that you come from royalty in the real estate business. As the daughter of the founder of Roohan Realty, such an important part of Saratoga, you were born with a deep understanding of real estate, community, and above all – family. You don’t just sell homes – you shape the future for Saratoga families of which we are so happy to now be a part. Debbie and I are so grateful to you and we are sure that your father would be so proud of you for continuing his legacy which has now been made so apparent to us. Sincerely, Gary Schall – September 2018
I have been a part of the Roohan Realty “Family” for over 18 years. In 2000, Kate Naughton found our family a perfect home in downtown Saratoga Springs. She had her work cut out for her as we were on a tight budget. Kate is extremely knowledgeable, excellent negotiator and took the stress out of home buying. When it was time to move in, I was unable to locate a moving truck in short notice and Tom Roohan made the Roohan Realty moving truck available and that was a huge life saver. Fast forward to 2014. My family dynamics changed and I needed to work out of state. I did not want to give up my gem of a house. Jason Thomas handled my rental. Jason is extremely organized and gets after it. We were able to get the house rented quickly. He was very helpful with home improvement ideas and referred contractors that did great work for a fair price. He was able to assist with obtaining quotes, keeping projects on schedule and he was letting contractors in the house as I was out of state. Without Jason it could not have happened. He is extremely trustworthy and accountable. He has been able to get great tenants. I had a furnace issue in the winter and Jason assisted in getting things done. He always answers my call with positive energy and eager to resolving any issues the come up. Jason, Kate and Tom have always been there for me. I am very appreciative to be a part of the Roohan Realty Family. -Gerald E. Hmura via Google, September 2018

We are so fortunate that Kate Naughton represented us in our recent home purchase! In a very competitive, chaotic market, Kate was just the personality we needed. She is amazingly responsive and attentive. We felt we had her full attention at all times, and that she would go to great lengths to represent our best interest. All of this, while she has a calm, enjoyable demeanor that we truly needed in what otherwise could have a stressful time. Kate is straight forward and incredibly knowledgeable. If you are in the market for a realtor, choose Kate Naughton! You will not regret it! -TJ S., April 2018
Kate was AWESOME! As a first time home buyer, she made the process easy, professional, and we could tell she always had our best interest at heart. Through the journey we were continually amazed with how engaged and helpful she was at all times. We ended up with the perfect house. Thanks Kate!! -MJ Shannon, April 2018

Kate Naughton was our broker and very helpful and friendly she would keep in contact often. Our property was in the town of Glenville on wheeler drive. We had several up & down moments with about five different people buying it & then either they backed out or something caused things to fall through plus last minute so to speak septic tank problems. We changed the price a couple of times but all in all we’ve closed and are enjoying our new home and we appreciated all the moving boxes, friendliness etc. We would like to say thank you very much.
Katie Naughton was so helpful in selling my home. Selling a home is very stressful but Katie was there throughout the process. I highly recommend her. I found a friend. – Dora, May 2017
.Kate Naughton and Karan Murray were very helpful sharing their ideas to stage our house. There were always available to answer questions and problem solve as we went through the house sale process. Karan and Kate are well-versed in their knowledge of real estate and I would recommend them and the Roohan agency to anyone interested in buying or selling property . – Beth Jahn, March 2017
Professional, helpful, and goes the extra mile. She helped us keep our sanity during some stressful periods. -Michael Perkins, March 2017
5 star Yelp review (see it here)
I bought my home with realtor Kate Naughton years ago, prior to YELP! Moving up from downstate with 3 young children and not knowing the area, I was lucky enough to meet Kate who was on phone duty. We spent 9 months together and looked at pretty much everything. I ended up buying the house of my dreams thanks to Kate’s perseverance. She was kind, smart, responsive and very patient. I highly recommend Kate and can’t say enough good things about my experience with her and Roohan Realty. -Kati H., March 20175 star Yelp review (see it here)
Kate Naughton is an excellent realtor and we highly recommend her if you’re looking for an agent that knows the market very well and she’s sincerely interested in helping her clients meet their needs. Roohan Realty is owned and managed by Kate’s brother Tom and the company has had a great reputation in this area for about 50 yrs. Kate grew up in the business and she’s a natural. If you’re looking for a realtor in the Saratoga Springs area, Kate should be at the top of your list in your search. -Jim & Chris Breitenfeld, March 20165 star Yelp review (see it here)
Kate Naughton, our agent, was extremely helpful in our search and purchase of property. She grew up in the area and is on top of the market. Every time I went into the office, her admin staff was over the top nice and helpful. I will definitely use her in the future. You should too! -Marge K., March 2016Exceptional service…Kate was fantastic and made our first home buying experience great! She’s extremely professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. The moving van is also a great perk and is less headache in the moving process.
We had a great experience – Kate Naughton was outstanding. We felt we could trust her & she was clearly looking out for our best interests. We particularly liked how she showed us houses in the same area during the am and moved to the other area in the pm. Not being from this area, that was extremely helpful in getting our bearings!
Kate Naughton is wonderful – helped us both buy and sell.
Kate was very attentive and honest.
I worked with Kate Naughton; my property was a hard sell but she never gave up – always positive and very courteous.
Kate Naughton and Karan Hankinson were exceptional.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or more friendly people to deal with.
