I have been selling residential real estate since 1994. Though I have my broker's license in the state of California, I function in a salesperson's capacity. I work with buyers and sellers of residential properties, both homeowners and investors. My license association is with Cornerstone Real Estate, a high quality company in the city of San Luis Obispo.

Cathy is great I have known her for a long time, but this was my first time to work with her professionally. She is smart representing the buyer and the seller. She works hard and knows how to get houses bought and sold! She believes in home staging and making houses look picture ready before houses go one the market! I look forward to working with her again!
Description of Work: Sales, preparing, home staging, listing.

Cathy is tireless, enthusiastic, funny, and extremely competent. She knows the area, knows the business, and has the right contacts in the right places. She handles "emerging contingencies" (what everyone else would call "problems") quickly, effectively, and with a minimum of fuss. She is well-respected by others in the business, and knows who to talk to for the quickest responses and decisions. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for real estate in the SLO county area.
Description of Work: Cathy interviewed us to determine our housing preferences and requirements, then searched MLS and took us to a number of properties. She spent the entire day with us, showing the neighborhoods and locales and explaining the good and bad points of each. On a different day, she prepared yet another list and showed us around neighboring communities, and we chose a home from this second day's selections.

Cathy did an outstanding job for us. She was completely open and honest and provided invaluable advice about where to buy and what to pay to best meet our goals. In fact, she was the second agent with whom we worked; we decided to part company from the first because she seemed more interested in making a sale than in meeting our needs. Cathy was completely the opposite: she advised us to wait until the right property came up -- and she then wrote a meticulously documented letter with a detailed list of current comps to convince the sellers (who still thought they could get the high price of the go-go years after the market crash) to accept our offer. We would not have obtained the property without this (no realtor has ever done this for us before, and we have made many purchases over the years). In short, we think that Cathy is an outstanding professional. She knows the area extremely well and she goes above and beyond to represent her client's interest. We unhesitatingly recommend her for any real estate needs that you have.
Description of Work: She was our realtor for the purchase of a vacation/rental property in Morro Bay

Every time we have called or emailed Cathy with a question, she was prompt in her response with whatever information we needed. She has always been honest with us, not sugar coating information to get us to make a big mistake with the real estate market. She has YEARS of experience and we trust her 150%. We will never use another realtor.
Description of Work: We have been in continuous contact with Cathy to find information on houses we were interested in buying, getting estimates on how much our current house was worth if we were to sell now or in the future, and even for direction on finding rental space for our business.
All statements concerning insurance, licenses, and bonds are informational only, and are self-reported. Since insurance, licenses and bonds can expire and can be cancelled, homeowners should always check such information for themselves.
