Katherine Dana Hart

After living in Massachusetts for 50 years, we moved to and bought a house in Evanston. Katy was recommended to us by our realtor (Allie Payne, Compass, also excellent!) This was a super solid recommendation - Katy was excellent in all respects: professional, friendly, responsive, and a great perso...n to have in our corner. If you are doing real estate buying or selling in or near Evanston - Katy Hart is an excellent choice. We have worked with 10+ real estate lawyers over the years, Katy is the best, by far.

She is the best R/E attorney you can find. She makes Herself available through the entire process. And then once we were at closing/escrow, I honestly don’t know how she recognizes things like this, but she found thousands of dollars in accounting errors, which, when corrected, worth thousands of do...llars in our favor directly impacting what we had to pay at closing. We are intensely thankful and grateful for the fact that she represented us in the purchase of our condominium

We are now first-time homeowners in Evanston, IL, and that wouldn't have happened without some tough negotiation on the part of Katy Hart. Our situation was stressful. The seller and her attorney were attempting to act in a very unethical manner and force us out of a contract that they had already si...gned because they received a higher offer. Katy had to fight hard for us and we braced ourselves to go to court if we wanted the house, which could have taken lots of time and money. Thankfully, Katy ended up negotiating a deal in our favor so we avoided litigation AND got to buy the beautiful house! I have already recommended her to a friend who is buying a home and will use her again if I ever need a lawyer. She is professional, kind, smart, thorough, responsive to questions, and a tough negotiator. I am so grateful to have our new, beautiful home because of Katy. I hope this can help send some more local business her way because she absolutely deserves it. Thanks so much, Katy!

When closing on our house several years ago, Katy kept us informed of the myriad details we needed to know. It was our second property and there was such a difference between Katy and our first lawyer. Our first couldn't wait to get to the end of the process. Katy was different. She explained everyth...ing, was patient, and kept a great sense of humor when it felt stressful. I loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone we know.
