About Me

Katelyn Dunlap

Realtor +  Paralegal

I am your local Realtor & Independent Paralegal with Dobi Real Estate. I’ve been a licensed Realtor since 2016 and have a Bachelors degree in Legal Studies, with a minor in business. Before I went into real estate, I worked as a Paralegal for nearly a decade and (almost) went to law school! I was one of the main intake paralegals at a large probate firm in Royal Oak and I loved it!! I met with new clients on a daily basis and helped walk them through paperwork and the legal process in depth, along side some of the most brilliant attorneys in Michigan! Before I specialized in probate, I worked at an estate planning firm as a legal assistant to two amazing attorneys who taught me all the ins & outs of what you need to do to AVOID probate and ensure you & your assets are protected!

As a paralegal, I loved the connection I had with our clients. Being able to take even a small amount of stress off their shoulders during a very difficult time in their life was incredibly rewarding work. But I yearned for more freedom and a career that allowed me to build longer lasting relationships! I eventually made the decision to pursue my passion in real estate after successful buying, renting and flipping my first home and wanting to share that experience again with others! I founded my own independent paralegal business at the same time and worked for various attorneys on a contract basis, while also building my real estate business.

As your agent, I bring a very unique perspective and always have your best interests in mind! I have the detail oriented eye of a law student (perfect for reviewing contracts) and I am skilled in working under strict deadlines and high pressure! If you do need helping listing a probate property – I AM YOUR GIRL!! I also have several contacts in the legal field I can refer to when needed, which adds tons of value for my clients!! I am always available and happy to help!

xoxo, Kate
