Hello! I came to Brookings in 2002 to attend SDSU, and I haven't left! :) I started at Century 21 GKA in 2006 and have truly found a career I love! I'm a full time agent and have worked in many aspects of real estate including: buyers, sellers, commercial, land, new construction, and investment property.
What makes me different?
- FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS: I understand how overwhelming this process can be for first time homebuyers and take the extra time to make sure you are educated, well informed and comfortable with the process.
- INVESTORS: Brookings has a strong economy and has wonderful opportunities for investment property, specifically residential rental homes. I understand the rental market, rules, and codes to give valuable advice to make this a profitable investment.
- DESIGN: Sellers: I appreciate design and the power of atmosphere in a property. From tips and advice to staging to quality photography, I affordably get the most out of your property. Buyers: If you can't find a home you love, then it's time to get creative! I can see the potential in bringing an outdated property back to life. Remodeling an older home can have wonderful benefits such as a home with more character that reflects your style and an established neighborhood.
Thanks to wonderful clients, I've consistently received awards for sales and quality service. I consider all real estate transactions to be an investment and hope to get you as a buyer the most for your money considering what works best for your situation and time frame. If you're selling, I want to highlight the best features of your home to get you the highest value possible. Email, call or text with any questions!

What clients say about this agent....
The spring of 2019, fate brought Katie into our lives. We were closing on our home in Upstate New York and in desperate need of a place to rent in South Dakota ... a state we had never visited, and knew no one. Katie became our anchor. She secured us a rental with a huge fenced-in backyard for our three Labrador Retrievers. We were so impressed with Katies compassion for our situation, and her professionalism, when we began searching for our forever-home we knew she would be our aEURoego to person.aEUR? We gave her our wishlist, and within days of signing with Katie as our realtor, she showed us our dream home. She then proceeded to negotiate the perfect price, and an expedited closing date so we could move in Christmas Eve. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients, we highly recommend Katie Murray for her expertise in all areas of real-estate, knowledge of Brookings and surrounding counties, professionalism, passion, and outstanding negotiating skills. Katie is one of those rare people with perfect intuition: she knows when to listens and when to take control. Her motto is, aEURoekindness matters,aEUR? and it fits her perfectly. Katie has made our transition from New York to South Dakota a seamless journey.
Katie is great, she is well informed, easy to communicate with, very smart, and she is fun to work with! We were new to Brookings, and she helped us find a great home, in a great location, and helped us get to know the area as well.
Katie helped me sell my mom's cabin at lake Madison. I live in Texas so I thought this process would be challenging. The sale only took a couple months and everything went smooth. All documents were done by email and fax. Katie is knowledgeable and wonderful to work with she did an outstanding job! Melissa
So far Katie has helped me in the buying process for 2 homes, soon to be a third! Not only does she take the time to find out exactly what your needs are, she continues to ask throughout the process, "what is it about this one that you like/don't like" so she can better suit your needs. Her integrity and knowledge is evident in every conversation and it is such and pleasure each time I work with her.
Katie is there to work for you. She helped us get all the answers that we needed. The response time was almost instantaneous and she knows her stuff. When it came down to the negotiating we got exactly what we wanted.
Katie was so very helpful during our search for our first home. It took us a very long time to find THE house, and Katie was very patient and accommodating during the entire process. She was willing to listen to our needs, give advice when necessary, and never pushed us to do something we weren't 100% comfortable with. I highly recommend Katie for any real estate needs!
Katie was an absolute dream to work with! She is very knowledgeable, personable and even when issues came up with the house before we purchased she was able to settle all conflicts very smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone :)
Katie Knutson was a dream realtor to work with. My husband and I were needing to look at properties 400 miles from where we were. Katie accommodated our tight schedule and provided information that we needed to know as we buzzed from one property to the next. She was friendly, professional and responded to texts and emails quickly. It was thanks to her and her contacts that we found our miracle property. Would work with her again in a heartbeat. She is the true example of an agent with integrity and sense of humor.
Buyers Perspective: I will recommend Katie to individuals I know looking to buy a house as long as she is in real estate. Her professionalism rings through from the first day of interest through to the closing date. She is invested in finding the home which meets your needs as well as interests (be it having a garage, deck, patio, fireplace, you name it). By working with her and using the Century 21 housing profile - set up by Katie based on your preferences and finances - I can assure you that you WILL find a home. Katie's knowledge and expertise is astonishing and she truly understands the market she works in. Whether you are a first time home buyer, or an experienced buyer/seller, Katie makes the entire process flow smoothly all the while making sure you understand the steps that are taken. She makes her self available for home tours, meetings, and contract signing. I couldn't have asked for a better agent to work with.
Katie was very helpful for finding the right house for us. she understands our specific needs well and provided lots of information and helped to take care of things we didn't think of. Her local knowledge and expertise is also very impressive..Highly recommended.
