    A teacher, a home-watch owner, and a shared love of the Treasure Coast

    Kate and Peter are fiancés, business partners, and lifelong residents of Florida's Treasure Coast. Together they bring an unusual combination to real estate, a former classroom teacher who breaks complex transactions into clear, simple steps, and a lifelong local who built a trusted home-watch and concierge business from the ground up.

    The result is a team that is patient, precise, and genuinely connected to every community we serve. Whether you're relocating, downsizing, or buying your first new construction home, you'll have two experienced advocates working only for you.

    Kate Ward

    REALTOR®, Florida Broker

    Kate has called St. Lucie County home since 1986, when her family relocated from Wilmington, Delaware to Fort Pierce. Growing up in White City gave her deep local roots and an insider's perspective on the Treasure Coast market.

    A graduate of Florida Atlantic University (B.A. in Education with ESOL & ESE endorsements), Kate spent years as a licensed teacher before earning her real estate license in 2018. She brings a teacher's heart and a strategist's mind to every transaction, breaking down complex contracts and timelines into clear, easy-to-follow steps. Since 2018 she has helped over 275 families buy or sell their homes, with more than $100 million in closed sales .

    Peter White

    REALTOR®

    Peter has lived on Florida's Treasure Coast for more than 40 years and knows Vero Beach especially well. Before real estate, he built a home watch and concierge business in Indian River County, which taught him to notice the details most people miss: roofs, drainage, storm prep, and how a home holds up over time.

    He brings that same attention to every client. Outside of work, you'll find him fishing or out on a kayak.
