From East Germany to the East Coast: Why I’m Passionate About Helping You Find Home
Hi there – I’m Kat Moore, and I’m so glad you stopped by!
My journey to real estate wasn’t a straight line, but it’s one I’m truly proud of. I was born and raised in East Germany and moved to the U.S. over 20 years ago. After living in several places due to my husband’s military career, we finally settled in Severn, Maryland—right outside Ft. Meade. It’s where our family found our forever home and built a life full of love, purpose, and community.
Almost four years ago, my mom made the big move from Germany to live with us here. Having three generations under one roof has been a blessing and a beautiful reminder of how important *home* really is. It’s not just about a structure—it’s about the people and moments that fill it.
With over two decades of experience as a military spouse and now the wife of a government contractor, I understand firsthand the stress and uncertainty that can come with moving—especially when you’re balancing kids, careers, and timelines. That’s why I specialize in helping military families, first responders, and hardworking heroes find more than just a house—I help them find a place to truly belong.
Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, investing, or PCSing again, I’m here to guide you every step of the way with honesty, strategy, and heart.
If you’re thinking of making a move in Anne Arundel County, Howard County, Prince George’s County, or Southern Maryland—I’d love to be your trusted local expert.
Welcome to my blog, and welcome to your next chapter!

Before real estate, I worked in hospitality—and those customer service skills have never left me. I’ll always greet you with warmth, a smile, and maybe even a homemade German treat if you stop by one of my open houses!
