About Katie Pratt

Katie Pratt brings a unique blend of Southern charm, California edge, and world traveler perspective to every real estate journey. Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana (yes, 50 Cent’s new studio location and the film site of HBO’s TrueBlood), Katie always knew she was a Californian at heart. After planting roots with her first home purchase in Oakland in 2015, her real estate passion took off—and she hasn’t looked back since.

She applies this mindset to real estate by arming clients with data, customized strategy, and full transparency, making the process of buying or selling not only smooth—but empowering and fun.

Katie is also a hands-on investor and community builder. She founded East Bay Real Estate Investors (EBREI) and cut her teeth working alongside residential rehabbers—learning firsthand how targeted improvements and smart marketing transform a home’s value and appeal.
