Who we are

Meet Katy & Josh McCray

A Real Estate Broker and a Product Designer, married, living in Southeast Wisconsin, and building the kind of brokerage we wish existed.

Katy began as a Realtor in 2016 and Founded Pike & Prairie Realty in 2025.

Josh began designing in 2012 and remodeling in 2016. He certainly prefers design!

We share the same dreams you do.

Our version of Midwest living. A charming house by the lake, close enough to loved ones for Sunday dinners and Friday night babysitting. A home that feels like ours. Good neighbors and a porch worth sitting on. We're working toward the same things our clients are — which is part of why we care so much about taking care of you.

Pike & Prairie's Philosophy

“For a decade, I've enjoyed guiding buyers and sellers through rewarding real estate experiences. But I'm always asking: what can I do better? What can I make more beautiful? How can I communicate more efficiently and empower my clients with more resources and less stress?
I'm lucky to have Josh to work through these questions with. As a product designer, he has the know-how to help me build and test new ideas. Our website is now custom built by us (and Claude Code), and we get to ship every personalized real estate tool we can imagine. We believe AI can help us work better and think faster — and in real estate, that translates into better tech and smarter marketing for our clients.
We don't want to do business like most agents. Our aim is to provide unique, deeply valuable real estate experiences, rooted in the relationships, care, and trust we build with our clients. The less time we spend on repetitive processes, the more time we get to spend doing the important, exciting work — helping real people buy and sell real estate.”

What we're building

A better client experience

Communication, preparation, negotiation — these things count. We're bent on becoming the best we can be, for clients who value authenticity, trust, and partnership.

A wider net for our listings

We're constantly growing our buyer audience and sharpening our targeted Meta ads, Bing ads, and email campaigns — so your home gets in front of the people most likely to fall for it.

A client dashboard

One place for our clients to learn the buying and selling process, complete tasks, request showings, run the numbers, connect with trusted service providers, and track it all start to finish.

Small, intentional
