New Faces at Habitat

Meet Kate Hilberg

We here at Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver are excited to bring on Kate Hilberg as our new Real Estate Manager. Here is what she has to say about her experience working at Habitat so far.

What is your history with Habitat? “I volunteered for quite a while on the construction sites, as well as as a member of the Women Build Committee.”

What does the Real Estate Manager do? “I’m responsible for finding and purchasing land for the houses and making sure that we’re being a good neighbor. I do diligence on the properties to make sure that they’re something we can actually use, as well as any zoning or planning approvals that need to be put in place before we can build on the land. I hire or oversee the engineering and design work for the properties. Then I make sure that we get the infrastructure in place on the properties before the construction teams take over.”

What is your favorite part about working at Habitat? “The people. They’re really fun, engaging, nice, really committed to what they’re doing.”

What are you looking forward to? “Sable Ridge. That’s the really large, four-acre site with 51 units. It’ll be a challenge.”
