I have helped others make the dream of the perfect home a reality. Now let me help you. My knowledge of the community is an invaluable source of information when finding the right home that fits your needs both now and for the future. Once we find the perfect home we put my experience to use. Prior to my success in the world of realty, I received a BA in Communications at the University of the Pacific, did Graduate work at the University of Redlands and was a top sales person for both Procter and Gamble and Merck Sharpe and Dohme. My educational background and my sales training give me a unique edge in negotiations. I have my Broker's license but have decided the support I receive at Pacific Union allows me to better serve my clients than if I hung out my own shingle!

I am a Senior Real Estate Specialist, SRES, trained in helping people achieve success during life's transitions. My network has made it possible to form "Transitions" a collaboration of professionals willing to assist seniors with this very significant time in their lives.

Although I have had this Website and an internet presence for years, I decided to make it official. I am now a certified E-Pro. This National Association of Realtors designation allows me to network with other "tech savvy" Realtors and provide my clients an even further reach.

Real Estate is a business that I take very personally. I think of my clients' goals as mine and value their trust. I try to make the process of buying or selling a home an enjoyable one by providing advice and support. My clients expect 125% on my part. I would not think of giving any less.

"Cathy made selling our home a painless experience. She is professional, responsive, energetic and honest. She helped us with each stage of the process, and was always willing to answer questions. She made the process much more stress-free than we would have thought possible. Cathy really cared, and she came across as a real person. We enjoyed selling our home with Cathy as much because she was delightful to have in our lives, as she was an efficient, professional agent. One thing we especially appreciated about Cathy was her accessibility. She is well-connected and reachable via e-mail, phone and cell phone. We got used to a response time of minutes. She is amazing! Cathy's calm, professional manner was also invaluable. Selling a house is stressful, and Cathy was great about easing out fears and about handling minor problems. She really did the job of being my "agent" and handling a lot of the work for us. She is wonderful!" Ralph and Nancy Bettman
