Katreen M. Korte, a Northern Virginia resident for 57 years and the founder of Korte Realty, died of natural causes at her home in Falls Church on Dec.2. She obtained her real estate agent’s license in the early 1950’s and worked in succession for Realtors C.M. Hailey, The Moncure Agency, and Mary Munson before obtaining her broker’s license in 1965 and opening Korte Realty in Falls Church City. As Fairfax County developed during the 1970’s and 1980’s, Korte Realty brokered the sale of homes, office buildings and parcels of land. Some of these were strategic purchases by parishes and ministries of the Richmond Catholic Diocese.
