"When my husband and I were ready to leave Austin, we gave a lot of thought to who we should use to sell our home, as there were many luxury lakefront specialists to consider. In the end, we decided to use Cathy to sell our house on Lake Austin. I had watched her build her business and noticed how she always went far above what other realtors did for their clients. In addition, I knew that she had special knowledge about Rivercrest, being a long-time resident herself. I also had witnessed firsthand that she knows everyone in Austin and people always love her and enjoy working with her. She is personable, honest and genuine and people like that. For example, when other realtors need 2 weeks to organize a drone video shoot, she got ours done in 24 hours, and it was with the most sought-after video guy in town - because he values her. Selling a Lake Austin home may seem easy, one could say that those properties sell themselves. But I believe it does matter who you use if you want a valuable experience. Cathy got us a sale in record time for above our asking price. I wouldn’t use anyone else. It’s her passion, knowledge and personal service that sets her apart from the rest." - Colleen and Mark K

"We want everyone to know that our neighbor, Cathy Romano, did a fantastic job selling our house and was a pleasure to work with. She stayed in constant communication with us throughout the process, was always charming and professional, and did exactly what she'd promised to do. Cathy exceeded our expectations! We recommend her without reservation." - Merrick L

★★★★★
"After nine months of using another real estate company, we turned to Cathy. From the first time we met to discuss selling, through the close and transfer of our house, Cathy listened to our concerns and clearly explained how we could proceed the right way. It turns out that the smart target marketing that Cathy provided made all the difference. She pulled out all the stops and got the word out to the right potential buyers. Our home sold within days above asking price! We don’t think it gets better than that. We highly recommend Cathy; she’s a pleasure to work with." - Francis S

★★★★★
"Cathy made every part of our relocation to Austin welcoming, and as easy as possible. From our very first meeting, Cathy took care of us like family. She rushed to homes that were potential contenders, often the morning they would hit the market! She sent videos with commentary specific to our priorities - we must have had a dozen private tours without ever leaving our home! Cathy was honest when she felt a missed the mark, and she alerted us to factors we hadn’t considered (she knows real estate, and she knows Austin!). She was calm and reassuring during the stressful process of buying a home from out-of-state (during a pandemic!), and worked hard to make sure that the right home for our family is now ours. We couldn’t thank Cathy and Bob enough for their work, guidance, and friendship. And we can’t wait to get to Austin!" - The Lawton Family

★★★★★
"Cathy is an amazing real estate agent! My husband and I were not the easiest of clients. We started out wanting to buy a house near Westlake in Lost Creek or the Courtyard. It was hard finding a home in such an expensive area within our budget, but Cathy managed to find some great places. I cannot tell you how many houses Cathy took us to around Westlake, and she never complained. Unfortunately, after all her hard work, we switched gears and decided to buy in Mueller. Cathy found us the perfect home in an area that we love! She worked so tirelessly during the whole process from searching for a home to closing on it months later. One of the things we love most about Cathy is she is extremely trustworthy and genuine and you always know you are getting an honest opinion from her. She is extremely knowledgeable about the current real estate market and the process of buying a home. Even when we switched to mueller, she quickly learned the area and got us great viewpoints on the different builders. We asked her tons of questions and she never seemed frustrated or annoyed - on the contrary she answered every question promptly and enthusiastically. And when it came to the walk-thru, she made sure everything was exactly as promised and we were happy before the closing. Cathy checks in with us every few months or so to see how we are enjoying our new home (we are still loving it!)" - Trish M

★★★★★
"Cathy sold my residence in Lost Creek essentially prior to first date. She took an active interest in ensuring my home was show worthy and added many personal touches including adding plants and actually planting flowers in front and back. Every promise was executed correctly, on time. I highly recommend Cathy to be your realtor of choice." - Lee G

★★★★★
"We love Cathy. She is not only a great real estate agent but also a great person. We sold our house in June/2018 in Travis Heights. A modern house that we would have love to with us. Cathy was very professional. She did many open houses, worked on decorating the house for each event and managed the whole process as she was part of our family (we were not living in Austin at the time so she was fully in charge of everything). We interviewed many before deciding to work with Cathy and we made the right choice. Our experience with Cathy was excellent." - Carla F

★★★★★
"“We began our search for a home in Austin (relocating from Silicon Valley). I cold-called Cathy as she had a I liked. It turned out that the house wasn’t right for us so Cathy went to work showing me the different areas of Austin. She found the PERFECT lot and equally perfect builder. We trusted her 1000% and bought the lot unseen, save for the photos and videos she sent us. She has the patience of a saint, a wicked fun sense of humor and is a consummate professional. I don’t call her my realtor any longer. I call her my friend. " - Kimberly S

"Cathy Romano is truly the most amazing realtor I have ever used. After 6 mths of a very painful with an agent who promised everything then delivered absolutely nothing, we decided to closely vet out our next agent. On the same day that we interviewed Cathy, she had an offer on our home at full price before we ever signed the contract to use her. She does her homework and takes the journey from start to finish with you, holding your hand through the entire process. She truly cares about her clients and takes the time and effort to get the job done." - Allison B
