She kept my deal together by going beyond the call of duty to do some of the work of a novice agent (representing the buyer) on the sale of my house.

I highly recommend Cathy to represent you in selling and purchasing your next home or investment."
“I have dealt with many real estate agents and I would have to say Cathy Carter was a pleasure to deal with. We flew in from New York to see the area and Cathy gave us as much time as we needed.

Cathy emails homes for us to look at on a regular basis and we would not use anyone else.”
