Tell us about your approach when creating content
I focus on showcasing luxury real estate & on being 100% authentic. This has attracted my ideal client. Once I really started focusing on being open about what I believe and bold in my faith my following flourished.

They know I’m not here to change anyone but they also know who they are getting when they hire Kat West!
