Personal Profile
I've worked for Century 21 since 1996, specializing in selling farm and residential real estate in west-central Illinois. I am a licensed Broker/Realtor and a Veteran Certified Agent (VCA) with the Veteran Real Estate Benefit Network. I work diligently to provide clients with comprehensive customer service throughout the buying/selling process. When you don't want to worry about the transaction process, call me for all of your buying and selling needs.
In addition to working in real estate, I started a farm business in 2000, Heartland "Criations" Alpacas LLC. Aside from buying, selling and showing Suri Alpacas, I sell alpaca products in a variety of locations, participate in agri-tourism, offer alpaca agistment and breeding services, each felting classes and offer consulting services. Concurrently, I serve as the Executive Director Kewanee Economic Development Corporation, a private, non-profit corporation, that serves as the catalyst for business attraction, retention, expansion, and succession in Kewanee, Illinois. As a leadership organization, KEDC works to enhance community assets by stimulating capital investment, promoting business diversification, and fostering community improvement in order to grow and expand Kewanee's prosperity and the quality of life of its residents.
Prior to working in economic development, I spent 18 years working in education, both as a high school English teacher and as a high school principal. It's the melding of my experience, that best helps me to assist real estate clients with their farm and residential buying and selling needs in west-central Illinois.

Buyer reviewSecond time using Kathy and she is still terrific. Even set up a second showing so I could let the kids see the new house. Above and beyond for everything. I'd recommend Kathy to anyone over anyone else.

Buyer reviewThe major reason for my and my wife's decision to choose Kathy Albert was that we were looking for someone with serious professionalism and patience with explaining the basics to us. Kathy was a great one who was successful at doing that. Kathy was absolutely knowledgeable and efficient throughout the whole process pretty transparent and honest in the every single step of choosing and purchasing our house. Her transparency and openness to teaching us about the purchasing process helped us with easily deciding to buy a house through her service. Also, Kathy was very communicative and always prompt in our meetings, text messaging and scheduled phone calls. Kathy was excellent in terms of openness to listening to us and really trying to understand what kind of a house we had in mind. Also, I believe her background as an educator really made a big difference and came into play in helping us buying our first house without any stress and pain. My wife and I felt like we were working with our friend rather than a real estate agent. We look forward to work with her again in the near future. 100% recommended!

Buyer reviewThis real estate purchase was a very challenging transaction, in mulitple ways. With her abundant energy, professionalism and perserverance, she successfull navigated and managed a 4 state business transaction. I live in New Hampshire, my bank USAA is in Texas, the property in Ilinois and Title company in Iowa. She met various challenges: Bank hesitation due to "dual zoning,commerical and residential", the slowness and poor communications from Title company and seller's realtor. I'm confident, without Kathy's remarkable professionalism, positivity and persistence I would not have completed this purchase. When I relocate back to this area in 2 years.....she is the only realtor , I wish to work with. She is excellent in all these traits to provide timely, friendly and professional knowledge. I have moved 12 times in 20 years, she is the best realtor I have every worked with.
