Meet Kathy

Real Estate Agent

I have been fortunate to make Northern Virginia my home for most of my life. This gives me a unique look into the area and market. I have worked in DC, Tysons, Alexandria, Fairfax and more - I understand the commute! After owning a business in DC, I finally pursued my dream of becoming a realtor in 2004.

I believe there is nothing better than helping someone buy or sell a home which are life changing events. I respect that it can be stressful and I work very hard to simplify the process. It is also important because a home is part of a person's financial security and one of the most expensive things they will purchase in their lifetime. I find working with first time buyers exciting and I think it is great to see someone in their first home. I received my certification as a Military Relocation Professional because I had a strong desire to help our military. I also have other designations: Accredited Buyers Representative, Senior Real Estate Specialist, Accredited Staging Professional, Multi-year Million Dollar Sales Club, Five Star Professional and I am a member of the Top Agent Network.

I am a graduate of Annandale High School and the University of Tennessee. After leaving Tennessee, I moved back to the area because of my family, all of the great professional opportunities, and the great resources that being a Northern Virginia resident provides

Kathy Showker's real estate agent knowledge, local experience and skills are so advanced they can only be rivaled by the beard of Zeus.

Kathy Showker couldn't have made the home buying process any easier. The house I purchased already had a bid on it that the sellers were about to accept, but because of Kathy's quick work and negotiating skills, I was able to get my offer in and accepted within a few hours. She explained every aspect of the process fully and was there for me every step of the way! I started working with Kathy after my previous realtor had disappeared off the face of the earth, so it was very refreshing how responsive and reliable Kathy was. We were in constant communication during the process, and she was very patient when I kept changing my mind about which area I...

Overall just a great experience with Kathy Showker handling my sale. She was professional, friendly, available and attentive. She was very knowledgeable about my condo complex's history and recent sales. She chose a great photographer, and we had a lot of traffic right away. I had a good offer in no time, and she guided me through the selling process.

Kathy was amazing! As a first time buyer, she held my hand every step of the way. She understood my needs and helped me find a great house!

Kathy's attention to detail and her understanding of the process was paramount to the success of the transaction. Even with a blip in the radar at the last minute (not her fault), she managed a work around and brought everything in to meet the desired time frames. She is an excellent realtor and we have already recommended her to a friend!
— Wayne C.
Kathy provided excellent service!! She listened to me when I explained what was important to me and what was not important. She was able to show me properties that met my requirements and I was able to make a buying decision within a few weeks. She stayed on top of the transaction and provided useful information through out the buying process. I have purchased three homes, this was by far the easiest and best buying experience.

No one else was in the running - knew it had to be Kathy! Kathy listens and understands about any issues that come up - and nothing throws her for a loop. She's handled it all before. She's the best. Made everything so easy on us - she took on the stress so we didn't have to worry about a thing.

Kathy Shower is great real estate agent. She is extremely professional, personable, and detailed oriented. She sold my condo in just a couple of days. I highly recommend Kathy for your next real estate transaction. You won't be disappointed!

We've now worked with Kathy Showker twice - the purchase of our first home and the subsequent sale of that home. Kathy makes the process feel simple and she keeps you updated at each turn. She is patient, always makes time for questions, and is efficient in her communications.

Kathy is the Wayne Gretzky of house buying and getting property rented. It’s like Alex Ovechkin on your team taking slap shots. A “must have” member of your team when buying and renting houses.
— Laura, Tyler, & Fred
Kathy is a fantastic agent- she truly understands the needs of her clients and gives her all, 100% of the time. Would recommend for anyone needing a knowledgeable local agent!
— David
Kathy Showker is a true professional and you are lucky to have her as an employee. Kathy: 1. Listened carefully to me when dealing with the quick listing and sale of my home. 2. Communicated everything in a clear and concise manner. 3. Answer all questions accurately and quickly. 4. Walked me through the details of the selling process and made excellent recommendations. Overall, Kathy is absolutely fantastic!
— Alberta
I couldn't be happier with Kathy! Worked above and beyond the call of duty. Would recommend her 10/10.
— Michael
Lauren is really kind, patient and professional. She takes the time to understand our needs and searches for suitable options. She also makes sure that as her client our best interests are always protected. We had a situation when a developer was trying to switch things on us and change the price of the house, and Lauren was able to sort through this, which could have been a huge mess. Lauren has a great personality and easy to work with, in addition to being very accessible. Apart from the sale of the house, Lauren has been a great resource with various aspects of the house such as contractors, inspectors, cleaners etc.
— Dom & Lynn
I highly recommend Kathy Showker for her excellent marketing skills and knowledge of the local markets. The sale of my home was so seamless that I still smile looking back on it. Not only did Kathy do an excellent job in selling my old home, she was also instrumental in working with the brokers I hired to buy my new home in another state. Her advice was spot on throughout the process and she deserves more accolades than I can give her in this short review. I highly recommend Kathy as an agent who will get things done. You won't be disappointed. Simply amazing!
