Hi, I'm Catherine!
Prior to becoming a Realtor and Broker/Owner, I came out of a very high-risk industry. So I am very process oriented. I can make your selling or buying experience efficient and fun! Trying to do it all on your own can be VERY risky in today's litigious world! Let me do the hard work and you just enjoy the experience!
Professional Services
Buyers Representative
As your Buyer's Representative, I can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself.
How can you add value to my search?
I've spent years getting to know this lake! I'll use that knowledge to help you find properties that don't always show up in an online search!
- I know what areas of the lake are cliffy versus have easier access.
- I know what areas of the lake can have DOCKS or wider paths to the lake.
- I know what areas are more popular for specific recreational activies.
- I'll share ALL that and more to be sure the properties you want to tour meet your needs!
What if I need a loan?
Getting a mortgage on a lake property or 2nd home can be a bit more challenging if you don't work with a lender that KNOWS this market. We can share the names of SEVERAL lenders that have a good track record in serving customers like you!
What if I want inspections or a survey?
I WANT you to have access to qualified inspectors and contractors in our area! My goal is that you get the best information available to help you make the best decision!
Sellers Representative
Selling a house on your own can be a daunting task, but with Catherine, a trusted real estate professional by your side, it becomes a breeze.
Can you help me value my property?
Yes! We can perform a comparative market assessment (CMA) as part of our listing process.
We look at TWO aspects of the current market:
- Properties that have SOLD (sale price.)
- Properties FOR SALE (what buyers are seeing.)
This helps put your value in perspective so you can actually attract buyers and get to a sale.
Can you help me prepare my property for market?
Yes! We can help with staging and decorating suggestions.
We can even help point out things you may want to consider repairing or replacing before going on the market. "MOVE IN READY" brings the best response from Buyers.
In the end, the condition of your property as you enter the market affect your pricing strategy.
How will you market my property?
Buyers find us ONLINE and ON LAND:)

By the time we are done releasing ads for your property you'll find it on MULTIPLE pages of Google search results. We also promote your property on the most effective Social Media platforms for your property type.

Why Work With Me?
"I commit my heart and my tenacity to helping you meet YOUR goals. I close deals other Realtors® walk away from in frustration! I don’t have much ‘quit’ in me!"
Market Expertise
Market knowledge goes beyond simply knowing the neighborhoods. Ask me about the roads leading TO a development, available parking for the property (think friends that will visit!) Or standard dock size on the lake!
Client-Focused
Your time is valuable. That's why I will take the time upfront to understand your unique wants, needs and dislikes to ensure the rest of our time together is as efficient and productive as possible.
Responsive
I'll be 'the source of the source' for your questions! I won't tell you what I think (unless you ask:) I'll connect you with the right source so you get that information first-hand.
Referral Network
Connections at the lake are important. I can connect you with mortgage brokers, bankers, inspectors, title attorneys, and more. I've spent decades around these folks. YOU get that knowledge when you get me!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Your knowledge and expertise is top notch!
"Thank you for making the purchase of our lake home and the sale of the same home as smooth and seamless as we could ever imagine. Your knowledge and expertise are top notch!
And thank you for your friendship! It is always a pleasure being in your company. It is not goodbye but rather see you next time!
With much love and gratitude"
— Stephanie & Mike B.
Cathy was amazing!
"Our family has had the pleasure of working with Cathy in the purchase of a house under construction on Rough River Lake. She has been involved in the process from the very beginning, and continued to be involved throughout the final completion stages of the build.
She was a tremendous help as the go-between with our family and the awesome builder. We could not have been matched up with a better Realtor!
— The Pfeffer and Anderson Families
Cathy never stopped looking for a buyer!
"We selected Cathy because of her knowledge and professionalism. Little did we know when we listed our home the challenges we would face! The local economy took a hit and we weren't sure we'd be successful in finding a buyer.
She never stopped working. Even with the economic issues, she was able to close the deal at nearly full price offer.
She doesn't have any quit in her!"
