Beyond their expertise of the Leisure World real estate market, our family had 100% confidence in their professionalism, honesty and trustworthiness. We SOLD and SETTLED in 40 days!
As first-time home buyers, we were not very familiar with the whole process, but Caterina and Joe were there to help us every step of the way. They were receptive to what we were looking for and drew on their knowledge and experience of our local area to narrow down the search. They were available to show us numerous properties as they came on the market, even previewing some for us ahead of time. When we did find the right home, they were available to help us write the offer that same night, which was the same day that the property went on the market. Once our offer was accepted, Caterina and Joe walked us through the entire purchase process and both joined us at settlement. They were kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We would work with them again and we recommend them to other prospective homebuyers and sellers.
She helped us prepare for two days of open house and then with multiple offers we accepted a contract! Her knowledge and expertise of the market made the process smooth and easy to understand. Working with Caterina was an absolute pleasure!
My house needed work throughout before I could put it up for sale. Caterina has great connections to contractors and handyman services to help speed up the process to get my house in top selling condition. She even had a great referral for a storage unit that was placed in my driveway during renovations. It simplified the packing process immensely. Caterina's soft sell approach was very comforting. I made a list of what I would like to see in my new home and Caterina delivered sending me properties to view that included my desired wish list items. Caterina is a great listener, attentive to all the little details that need to be addressed in the home buying and home selling process. Caterina kept me informed timely with the realtor's communications on the buyer and seller side of the transactions. I would heartily recommend Caterina Watson for my home buying and selling needs and refer any of my family and friends who desire to do the same in our area.
She went above and beyond anything I would ever expect a realtor to do. She is very easy to work with, and continues to be available even after I found a home.
I received a great offer on my house within a few days of it being on the market! She was very enjoyable to work with, and made the entire process easy for me - from listing until settlement. I highly recommend working with her!
Having raised a family, worked, and been active in many communities in Montgomery County, Joe is as knowledgeable about the area as they come. Caterina, being Joe’s daughter and thus being raised in and now raising her own family in the county, has her finger on the pulse. From the moment we contacted them, we knew we were in professional and more-than-capable hands. Caterina and Joe patiently walked us through the process of selling our home one step – one question and answer – at a time. They prepped us on the best ways to ready our home for listing and advised us on how to do so in a home with young children; they gave us guidance on which areas and in what order we should focus our attention; they explained the market and suggested a best course of action based on our desired timeline. In short, they listened to our needs, and they met each one. They were available at every turn, proactive in their approach to listing our house, and always quick to respond to our questions and requests. To boot, there is something special (and often entertaining) in watching a father-daughter team in action. With all that said, perhaps most impressive was Caterina’s ability to “call” how our sale would go, down to the details. Based on her knowledge of the market and extensive experience working in our area, she made a recommendation for a starting list price and a listing date, as well as educated guesses as to when we might expect offers and what those offers might be. She hit the mark with each one! It bears mentioning that both Caterina and Joe have large, active families, and therefore busy family lives. Still, they treated us as though our priorities were their priorities, which made an impact on us. We saw it as a testament to their commitment, not only to their jobs, but also – and more so – to us…their clients. We could not have asked for or imagined a smoother transition (or transaction!) during what otherwise could have been a very stressful and chaotic time. Knowing we were in good hands with Caterina and Joe as our listing agents helped us to focus on our children and our to-do lists while they did what they do best – work with and on behalf of their clients to make every home a happy one, no matter what stage of the buying or selling process. Thanks to them, our memories of our first home ended as happily as they began.
