A hands-on Waterloo Region agent
Preparation is part of the job.
Kathy Long leads with a strategy-first mindset and decades of local market experience. She works with buyers, sellers, investors and landlords, combining direct advice with careful attention to pricing, negotiation and the details that carry a transaction from preparation through closing.
In the years we’ve worked with Kathy, one thing has always been clear: she is a hustler. When a property needs to be ready, she gets it ready. She’ll coordinate the last details, pull in family if she has to and make sure the house is properly prepared before the marketing begins.
That hands-on approach is a big part of why we enjoy working with her. Kathy knows her market, knows the properties she represents and gives us the details we need to show buyers what makes each home worth paying attention to.
Why clients choose Kathy
Calm advice. Serious follow-through.
From where we stand, Kathy’s strength is the combination of experience and follow-through. She is direct, calm and focused on the decisions that matter — pricing, preparation, negotiation and protecting her clients’ equity. She stays involved, keeps things moving and does not lose sight of the details that can make a difference.
Decisions with a reason behind them
Pricing, timing and preparation are treated as parts of one plan rather than separate tasks.
Ready before the cameras arrive
Kathy puts real effort into getting listings ready, coordinating the people and details needed to present a home well.
Direct, informed guidance
Her style is straightforward and calm, with a focus on helping clients understand the decision in front of them.
A distinct part of the marketing plan
Every video starts with the story.
Kathy regularly makes use of See Your House Now founder Kyle Christie’s background as an award-winning journalist. For her real estate video tours, Kyle writes the script and records the voiceover, using the property details Kathy provides to identify what separates the home from the competition.
Selected SYHN collaborations
Three properties we remember.
These homes show the range of properties Kathy has trusted See Your House Now to photograph, film and help present — from a custom family home to an historic stone residence and a wooded property with a stream.
Built by Slotegraaf Construction, this substantial custom home became a Home of the Month on See Your House Now: The Series on Rogers TV. The story focused on design, functionality and location — from coffered ceilings and heated floors to a sunroom, screened porch, detached garage workspace and an apartment above.
This historic stone residence was memorable before the front door even opened. The architecture, winter twilight exterior and richly detailed interiors gave the listing a sense of history that the photography could lean into rather than trying to modernize away.
Warm materials, mature trees and a stream running through the property gave this home a relaxed, cinematic quality. It was the kind of house where the setting mattered as much as the rooms, so the marketing needed to capture both.
