REALTOR® - Broker
ABR, PSA, RENE, SRS

Real estate has been part of my life for over two decades, but for me, it’s always been about the people, not just the properties. Every move represents a story and a new season, and I feel grateful to help clients navigate each one with confidence and care.
As the Broker/Owner of Flat River Associates, I’ve built a team that values connection, community, and doing things the right way. I bring a calm, steady approach with a little grit and humor — keeping things real while working hard to get the best results. Negotiating might just be my favorite sport.
I’m proud to call West Michigan home and love being involved in the local community — from sponsoring events to supporting small businesses and school fundraisers. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me decorating, gardening, working out, or planning taco and trivia nights with family and friends.
Real estate is personal — and my goal is to make sure you always feel supported, informed, and excited for what’s next.

For me, real estate isn’t just about property lines; it’s about people, places, and the feeling of home. After seven years in the business, I’ve learned that buying or selling property is one of life’s biggest adventures, and I love helping clients navigate it with confidence and ease.
My husband, Jesse, our daughter, Charli, and I proudly call Greenville home. We love the small-town feel, the familiar faces, and the mix of rural beauty with everyday convenience. When I’m not meeting with clients or exploring new listings, you’ll probably find me enjoying a
strong cup of coffee, getting a workout in at the gym, spending time in my garden, doing yoga, or being creative.
I specialize in rural properties across Central and West Michigan, helping clients who want a little more land, a little more peace, and a lot more possibility. As a certified Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), I pair data-driven strategy with genuine care for my clients. My goal is to make your real estate experience feel personal, transparent, and even enjoyable. Whether you’re selling a family farm, investing, or putting down roots, I’ll be there every step of the way bringing honest guidance, clear communication, and definitely a few laughs along the journey.
Hi, I’m Kate Youngs, a Realtor serving the Greenville, MI area, helping clients move confidently into their next chapter — whether that’s buying their first home, selling to downsize, or finding a little land to live life at a slower pace.
As a U.S. Army Veteran, wife, and mom, I bring a grounded, trustworthy, and empathetic approach to real estate. My goal is simple — to make the buying or selling process feel less overwhelming and more empowering. I believe in educating my clients, keeping things light when the process gets stressful, and making sure every step feels intentional and informed.
From helping Veterans navigate VA loans to guiding families who are ready to simplify their lifestyle — I’m here to make sure you feel confident, cared for, and fully supported. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me exploring new coffee shops, hiking local trails, or spending time with my family — always dreaming up our next adventure.
Let’s find the home that fits your next chapter.

Kailey Ingraham
MARKETING STRATEGIST | REALTOR LIAISON
I was born and raised in Greenville and have always been proud to call this community home. After graduating from Greenville High School in 2023, I built a strong foundation in marketing and entrepreneurship through DECA, where I was a three-time district champion, state champion in the Start-Up Business Plan event, and a two-time international qualifier, competing in Atlanta, GA, and Orlando, FL.
I continued my education at Montcalm Community College, where I graduated in spring 2025 as student commencement speaker, the first president of the Student Government Organization, and an officer for MCC’s Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society chapter. I’m now pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Business Marketing at Ferris State University.
At Flat River Associates, I bring that same dedication and creativity to my role behind the scenes. From social media and community events to campaigns and office projects, I’ve earned the nickname “Chaos Coordinator”—keeping everything running smoothly no matter how busy things get.
Outside of work and school, I love spending time with my family, walking my goldendoodle Cooper, going to yoga classes, and traveling with my boyfriend.
