Meet Katy Casey

Katy Curran Casey charts her course, both professionally and personally, by a famous Churchill quote: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Katy transitioned seamlessly from a high-profile career in sports medicine, public health, and journalism to residential real estate. After moving to Houston in 2007, she became involved in maintaining her family’s investment properties and eventually became a licensed agent. “Whether you’re looking to buy or sell your home or purchase one as an investor, keeping up with the ever-changing Houston real estate market is vital to success in this business,” she says.

Highly ethical and fiercely loyal, Katy follows through on every commitment with enthusiasm, critical thinking, and tireless effort. She is exceptionally discreet, protecting sensitive personal and financial information throughout their transaction and beyond. “I stay with my clients every step of the way as their transaction progresses, and I never forget that I am working to successfully complete one of the most important financial decisions of their lives.”

A former competitive long-distance runner and marathoner, Katy brings an impressive record as an athlete and certified athletic trainer. During her 30-year membership in the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), she has received numerous accolades, which include the National Service Award and the World Health Organization World No Tobacco Day Award. The International Olympic Committee chose Katy to carry the Olympic torch in the days leading up to the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Katy was born and educated in New England. She earned a B.S. from Springfield College in Massachusetts and an M.S. from Ithaca College in New York. She minored in sports journalism at Springfield and has completed post-graduate work at Syracuse and Johns Hopkins University. In addition to being published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, she has written professionally for numerous national newspapers.

Katy, her husband, who is an international banker, is also a drummer and an avid home baker along with their teenage son and two certified therapy dogs. They live in Houston’s inner-Loop in a 1930s-vintage home which they restored in 2015. She and her husband have chaired many fundraisers in Houston to support local arts and education non-profits, including for FotoFest, the School for Young Children, and currently the Briarwood School, which specializes in language-based learning differences. Additional commitments include founding board members of Adoptive Families of Houston; Paws for Therapy visits to The Women’s Home, Lighthouse for the Blind, and volunteering at MD Anderson’s Children’s Hospital.

When time permits, Katy is living the life she’s always imagined by restoring a historic cottage located in Wellfleet on the Cape Cod National Seashore. Her favorite pastimes include international trips to Ireland, where she holds dual citizenship, attending the Olympic Games (she’s been to 12 so far) and FIFA World Cups, rescuing animals, practicing foreign languages, discovering new cultures, local restaurants, and, most importantly, learning. “Learning is my favorite pastime,” Katy says. “Lifelong learning and reinventing yourself are a must for every individual.”
