Katherine "Kate" Raftery Realtor

We were very lucky to be introduced to Kate, who worked very closely with us throughout the entire home-buying process. She is very knowledgeable about the Monmouth County area and took us to many different properties to help us find the best fit for our family.

I would never purchase or sell a property without Kate Raftery - she is the best out there!

We highly recommend Kate and appreciate everything she has done for us!
