We are thrilled to share that Katrina Eileen Romatowski, Founder and CEO of reSpace, was recently featured on the acclaimed radio program Voices of Experience, hosted by noted author and business consultant Paul E. Casey.
Voices of Experience is a one-hour show built around a simple idea: real stories beat theory. The program spotlights people with hands-on insight and genuine success in their fields, with a strong emphasis on self-employment and entrepreneurship. It also wanders into lifestyle, health, fitness, travel, and public affairs. As Paul puts it, "Theory is useful, but I like to talk with people with experience in their chosen fields. I'd rather chat with a pilot who successfully landed a plane in a violent storm than one who could tell me theoretically what he/she might do."
In this segment, Katrina and Paul dig into an innovative way to own a home in Seattle. It is a timely conversation, because Seattle is one of the toughest markets in the country to break into, and the old playbook of "save up and buy the whole thing yourself" leaves a lot of good people stuck on the sidelines.
That is the gap reSpace was built to close. We are a structured co-homeownership platform that lets compatible buyers own a beautiful Seattle home together, with their stakes clearly defined and protected from day one. Everyone gets a private suite with its own wet bar, shared spaces designed for real life, and a structure that spells out who owns what. It is ownership built for how people actually live and work now.
Across the conversation, Katrina speaks to the growing demand for new paths to ownership in a market where buying solo keeps getting harder, and how reSpace is answering that call right here in Seattle. If you have ever loved a neighborhood but felt priced out of the front door, this one is for you.
You can listen to the full episode on 1150 KKNW, where Katrina and Paul talk through what co-homeownership looks like in practice and who it is built for.

What is reSpace and how does co-homeownership work?
reSpace is a structured co-homeownership company in Seattle. We help compatible buyers own a home together, with each person's ownership stake clearly defined and protected. Every owner gets a private suite with its own wet bar, plus shared common areas designed for daily life. It is a structured way to own a home you might not be able to buy on your own.
Why does co-homeownership make sense in Seattle?
Seattle is one of the most expensive housing markets in the United States, and buying a home solo has moved out of reach for many capable buyers. Co-homeownership lets people pool resources to own a quality home in a neighborhood they love, with a clear structure defining each owner's stake. It is a practical answer to a very real Seattle affordability squeeze.
