About Katie Burke

Your Deal. My Personal Commitment.

I'm Katie Burke, and I'm known as the "Strategic Negotiator" of the real estate industry—Known for her tenacious representation from contract to close. While other agents prioritize relationships with each other, I prioritize YOU. No assistants. No transaction coordinators. No passing you off to someone else. When you work with me, you get me—handling negotiations, managing paperwork, coordinating inspections, and guiding you to closing with the dedication and expertise you deserve.

Founder of Trilogy Group, I bring strategy, discipline, and relentless advocacy to every transaction across Virginia and North Carolina. Known for sharp negotiation, clean contracts, and unwavering client protection, I operate with one rule: my clients always come first - and always come out ahead.

Luxury Homes, Waterfront property, acreage, complex negotiations - pressure is where I"m most effective. I read markets quickly, efficiently, move decisively, and I don't flinch when the stakes are high. While others talk, I execute.

Behind every smooth closing is a disciplined process, deep market knowledge, and an advocate who doesn't back down. If you want someone agreeable, I'm not your agent. If you want results, we should talk. That's exactly what you get when you work with me.

Why Work With Katie?

Clients First. Results Driven.

I built my business on a simple principle: your success is my success. That means I’m personally involved in every aspect of your transaction—negotiating your best deal, managing your paperwork, coordinating inspections and repairs, solving problems as they arise, and ensuring you close on time and on terms that work for you.
No assistants. No handoffs. No wondering who’s actually doing the work.
Just me, working for you.
 

What Sets Me Apart: Direct Communication

You always speak with ME, not an assistant.
When you call, text, or email, you’re reaching the person who knows your deal inside and out. I respond quickly (usually within an hour during business hours), and I’m available when you need me—evenings, weekends, and everything in between. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening or waiting days for an update.
Your questions deserve real answers from someone who actually knows your situation.
 

Aggressive Negotiation

Known as “the bulldog” for protecting client interests.
I don’t back down when it comes to fighting for my clients. Whether it’s negotiating the best price, pushing for repairs after inspection, or navigating multiple offer situations, I’m relentless in protecting your interests. My clients often tell me I’m the toughest negotiator they’ve ever worked with—and that’s exactly how I want to be known.
You’re not just getting an agent. You’re getting an advocate who won’t quit until you win.
 

Multi-Market Access

Licensed across 5 MLS systems in Virginia & North Carolina.
Most agents work in one market. I work across multiple markets in two states, giving you unparalleled access and expertise whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in Virginia or North Carolina. I understand the nuances of each market—the buyers, the seasons, the pricing strategies, and the legal requirements—so you get localized expertise no matter where your property is located.
One agent. Two states. Five MLS systems. Endless opportunities.
 

Diverse Expertise

Residential resale, commercial properties, and land sales.
Real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is my expertise. I work with:
  • First-time homebuyers navigating their first purchase
  • Growing families upgrading to their dream home
  • Empty nesters downsizing with confidence
  • Military families on PCS orders with tight timelines
  • Investors building rental portfolios or flipping properties

Whatever your real estate goals, I have the experience and knowledge to help you achieve them.
Your goals are unique. Your strategy should be too.

 

My Approach: Hands-On, Honest, and Results-Focused

 

Before We Work Together

I start by listening. What are your goals? What’s your timeline? What concerns do you have? I don’t believe in cookie-cutter strategies—every client is different, and your plan should reflect your unique situation.
