Where to start.....Cathy likely didn't expect the roller coaster ride we took her on but she was there by our side the entire ride. Started off looking at country properties, 5-12 acres, ponds, barns, out buildings. Finding them was easy enough. Cathy made herself available to us sometimes same day after we had sent her something we were very excited about looking at. Often she was sending us a link to houses we were sending her, lol, passing on the internet highway within the same timeframe. She had a total understanding in what we were looking for. 3 different properties that we loved enough to put offers in on. Each had some issues after inspections. Some of them major like septic systems that needed large repairs or replacement, one the owner wouldn't let our septic guy do a full inspection after the inspector had identified major concerns, one house had walls separating from the ceiling that needed major repairs. All of these owners would not come down a reasonable price to allow for the repairs to be done so offers were withdrawn. After doing some rethinking of if I was actually going to be able to keep up with that large a country property after some health issues came to light, we changed directions and started looking for homes in subdivisions with .33-.5 acres instead. Again, Cathy was always available and extremely good at getting homes scheduled quickly for us to visit. We finally found what we have agreed is our dream home. The perfect size with the perfect amenities for a couple of people in their 60's that like to cook and entertain friends and family. It's a beautiful home and we were very happy with the price Cathy negotiated for us. I can't recommend Cathy highly enough for anyone that is looking to sell or buy a home. She is YOUR ADVOCATE and will keep you informed, work hard at getting what you want quickly and goes through homes with her years of experience with the eye of an inspector, pointing our both the good, the bad and the ugly.

I cannot say enough positive things about my realtor. From the very beginning, she was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of selling my home. What impressed me most was her dedication and willingness to fight for my best interests every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions, explain the process, and provide sound advice when important decisions needed to be made. Her expertise and attention to detail helped make a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Selling a home can be overwhelming, but I always felt supported and confident knowing she was advocating for me. Thanks to her hard work, persistence, and professionalism, the sale was successfully completed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients.

Catie was very helpful with us buying a house from out of state, she was more than willing to not only give us virtual tours over FaceTime but also was very patient through the technical difficulties and went in thorough detail on what she was seeing as potential issues when we weren’t there in person. Not only that, but knowing we were first time buyers she consistently would give us insight for things to consider and look out for since we hadn’t gone through that process before. She would go out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and not being too aggressive with offers, and ultimately helped us navigate the market to find a home just in time for us to move. Catie was great to work with!

My fiancé and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Catie V during our home-buying journey, and we truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect home. She was completely honest and transparent throughout the entire process. She never pressured us and was always upfront about both the positives and potential concerns with every property we viewed. She gave us complete confidence in her guidance, and we always felt she had our best interests at heart. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we found a home we absolutely love. We are so grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and the care she showed us every step of the way. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, Catie V is the one!

Catie is a true professional, very kind and considerate. She is quick to return calls. Her knowledge is vast when it comes to finding the right fit.

Catie was more than a “Realtor”. She was really there for you to help with any concerns or fears that came up during the process. She felt more like a sincere friend. I highly recommend her.

There were tears, frustration, and even a moment where we almost gave up. But Catie? She never did. She answered every single question with patience, professionalism, and the kind of reassurance only someone with all the letters after their name (and probably a PhD in psychology 😜) could provide. She guided us through mortgage options, recommended reliable painters and cleaners, even handed us a full list of local utilities with websites and numbers. She thought of everything—so we didn’t have to. We truly can’t recommend her enough. If you’re buying or selling in the Cincinnati area, Catie VanDerVelde is your gal! 🤩

Cathy us the epitome of a professional and a wonderful person.I would recommend her to anyone.She is very knowledgeable and has a great personality .

From the get-go, Catie showcased professionalism, warmth, and patience which was very important to us as first-time home buyers. She is extremely knowledgeable about the greater Cincinnati housing market and helped us find an amazing home in our preferred location. In addition to boundlessly supporting us throughout the buying process, she is incredibly observant and taught us so much about what to look for while touring and considering homes. Catie truly puts her buyer's happiness above all and we could not be more grateful to have worked with her throughout this process.

When I first met Ms. Catie I knew she was the relator for us. Catie came across very professional and personal. She listened to our concerns and our needs and wants. Her knowledge of the market was or is very impressive and appreciated. She has an amazing eye for the smallest details! Her negotiating skills are impeccable. She helped us close the deal on our dream home!! And we are looking forward to working with her in the near future.

I was an out of town client which made purchasing a little tougher but Catie kept me up to date on available listings. Her knowledge of construction and mechanics of houses was amazing! She continually goes to classes to gain even more knowledge to pass on to her buyers. She is very proficient with negotiations and all the paperwork that goes with the sale!!

Catie was always accessible, personable, knowledgeable, and effective in listing and selling our home. We could not have been happier with any other realtor. We recommend her highly and always will.
