Katherine Correa and her family have found a home in Washington County. Now she is selling homes there and in contiguous counties.

Correa is a Realtor with Realty ONE Group – Landmark, one of two careers she is pursuing. She also is a Dual Rate Floor supervisor at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, where she also is a dealer and oversees table games as well.

Sometime in the spring, it’s a sure bet she will add to her resume: television figure.

Correa will appear on HGTV’s “House Hunters” program, along with the local house she sold. She is barred from disclosing the location of that residence and does not have a specific air date.

Correa said the sales closing occurred in October, and HGTV told her it would be five to six months after the shooting when that particular show, hosted by Tiffany Brooks, would be shown.

“We hope it will be on the air in March or April – the spring circuit,” Correa said.

She said the couple who purchased that house – Eric and Elizabeth Sanders – were relocating from North Carolina and toured “eight to 10 homes” with her.

Correa said the Sanderses differed on their views, that the husband “was looking for the grandeur of a city” and “she wanted something smaller.”

Elizabeth, director of affinity programs at Washington & Jefferson College, and Eric eventually selected a home.

“I worked with the couple and told them I did a little video and sent it to ‘House Hunters.’ A couple of weeks later, the couple found out we were selected.”

Correa said the three of them had to do “a mini-audition” and 20-minute interviews for the show.

Correa has been a licensed real estate agent since 2021. “I took real estate classes during COVID.” She initially worked for EXP, a real estate brokerage that operates mostly online, and started strong. “My first year, I was a million-dollar producer,” despite being what she calls a ‘Realtor baby.'”

She credits Jeremy Wells with being a valuable mentor to her there, before she joined Realty ONE.

Correa experienced life in the big, big city during her early years. She was born in New York City and lived there until she was 7, when her family relocated to a smaller city 400 miles to the west – Washington, Pa. She has resided there since.

Working at two jobs simultaneously is not easy, and Correa admits that “sometimes I can be a little overwhelmed.” But she perseveres.

“Real estate is so competitive, but I realize that I want a better future for my family.”

She said when her birth family moved to Washington more than a quarter-century ago, we did not have much but each other. We rented in New York. Having a mortgage was a learning experience for me.”

Her husband, Derrick, has worked as a service professional for Red Lobster for 22 years. They have a son, Aaryn, 19, a pre-medicine/biology major at Washington & Jefferson College. He is on the Presidents football team.

Their family has certainly found a home.
