Meet Kati Lundy: Huntsville’s Home Matchmaker with Heart

When it comes to real estate in the Huntsville area, few bring the combination of passion, experience, and hometown heart like Kati Lundy. A key member of Team Nemec, Kati has carved out a reputation for not only understanding the local market but for truly getting people—their dreams, their concerns, and what makes a house feel like home.

From Property Management to Professional Realtor

Kati's journey into real estate wasn’t linear—it was lived. Her career started in property management while stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. Although she didn’t love property management itself, she did fall in love with the idea that every day brought new people and fresh experiences.

From there, a move to Florida led her into the marketing side of real estate—handling everything from sprawling 10,000-acre tracts to charming first-time buyer homes and bustling commercial plazas. It wasn’t until a final relocation to Huntsville, Alabama, that Kati knew it was time to get licensed and dive in fully.

Inspired by her own positive home-buying experience with Ben Nemec, she reached out to him, asked if the team was growing—and the rest is history. “Every day is different,” she says. “Helping people during such a chaotic time is what I do best.”

Why Team Nemec?

Kati attributes much of her success to the culture and values of Team Nemec. “Our reputation and attention to our clients’ needs are what set us apart,” she says. “We do our best for our clients every single day we represent them.”

Most Memorable Moment? It’s Not What You Think

While most would assume that a million-dollar sale would top the list, for Kati, it’s the people that matter most. “Those clients became lifelong friends,” she shares. “They were from out of town, and we spent the week finding not just the right house, but the right life—where they’d make friends, spend Friday nights, and really plant roots.”

The Ever-Changing Huntsville Market

Huntsville’s real estate market has seen plenty of changes—and Kati’s been there through it all. Her advice? “Don’t focus on the national headlines. Talk to a local agent. We love real estate, and we love talking about it. Conversations are always free and welcomed!”

First-Time Buyer? Here’s Her Golden Advice:

“Take a breath. Talk to an agent first. We can break things down step-by-step and help take the stress off your plate. We know the right people and programs to help you get into your dream home.”

Common Pitfalls (And How Kati Helps Clients Avoid Them)

One major mistake Kati sees? Buyers working with lenders who don't clearly outline every expense. “It’s not just about what you’re approved for—if that number blows your monthly budget, it’s not right for you. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”

Her Favorite Spot in Town?

Madison is where Kati’s heart is. “There’s just so much to do, and every type of restaurant you could want is either open or being built! Plus, you’re close to both Huntsville and Athens—it’s the best of both worlds.”

A Peek Behind the Curtain: Life as a Realtor

“People love to say they want to ‘make their own schedule’—but in reality, my clients make my schedule. If someone’s flying in for just one day to find a home, that becomes my priority. And honestly? I love that.”

Off the Clock: Kati’s Favorite Ways to Enjoy Huntsville

When she’s not helping clients, you’ll find Kati spending time with her family and friends—exploring new restaurants, digging into her latest book club pick (she’s in three!), or cheering on the Huntsville Havoc during hockey season.

Just for Fun: Rapid-Fire Favorites

• Huntsville Mascot? Hands down, Sprocket from the Rocket City Trash Pandas. “I love Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy too, so it’s a perfect match!”

• Dream Celebrity Client? (To be determined—but you know she’d find them the perfect place.)

• Most Unexpected Showing Moment? Discovering a pygmy rattlesnake during a Florida inspection. “Snakes are not my thing.”

• Theme Song of Her Life? “Life is a Highway” — especially since she’s always on 565 or Memorial Parkway.

• Dream Home? “One of those €1 Italian villas. We love Italy—renovating one would be a dream come true.”

Whether you're buying, selling, or just thinking about making a move in the Huntsville area, Kati is the agent who brings experience, heart, and a whole lot of hustle to the table.
