About Our Team — Stays with MK

Leadership

Mary-Katherine Smith

Founder, Owner & REALTOR® / Broker-In-Charge

Mary-Katherine Smith is the founder and owner of Stays with MK and the Broker-In-Charge of Stays with MK Real Estate. A lifelong Carolina coast advocate, she built the company around a simple belief: that a great stay begins with a great host. Over the years she has grown the Stays with MK portfolio into a curated collection of oceanfront, pet-friendly, and mountain retreat properties — each one hand-selected, thoughtfully designed, and personally overseen. Mary-Katherine leads every aspect of the business with a sharp eye for coastal investment, a deep commitment to guest experience, and the warmth of a family-run operation. Whether she is welcoming returning guests, mentoring her team, or negotiating the next standout property, her standard never changes: hospitality first, details always.
