Testimonials (114)

Cathy was amazing to work with. Seamless process. We had an unusual circumstance and she navigated and advocated for us throughout. Working with Cathy is not only working with a true professional but feels like a friend in your corner with your best interests always at the forefront. Dorothy Ostrowski
If I could give Cathy 5,000 stars instead of 5, I would. She truly is so kind, caring, and also intelligent, efficient, and devoted to her clients. Selling my house was no small feat and she helped me from start to finish, from staging to closing, she was with me every step of the way. It doesn’t get better than Cathy and her team! I knew I could always rely on her and I’m so grateful that she was my real estate agent. Katelin Gochberg
Cathy and her team are terrific! Our home needed some staging and some repairs before it was ready to be listed and her team came in and made it look amazing! It sold in less than one week. I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a top notch realtor who really cares about her clients! Anita Makselon
Cathy is the best! She truly “delivers”. Not only did she find us our dream home, she rescued our Christmas tree which was no small feat. Thanks, Cath! Daniel S. Clarey
Cathy is awesome and has an awesome team as well! She’s a very hard worker and does all of her homework. She is a great communicator and very responsive to all parties. We were very fortunate to have her and helping us with our Dad to state she has an eye for detail and strong work ethic. Her background with development and selling is a true asset. She’s very passionate, and it shows in her work as well as the results. She gets a highly recommend Cathy! Karen Nelson and the Nelson Family
We highly recommend Cathy McCahill, who recently helped us sell our Burlington house. We approached Cathy in early 2022 and she presented her marketing package and thoughts to us, but she understood that while we wanted a path forward, we weren't "ready" to sell. So she applied no pressure and as we moved along through the summer of 2022 and into the fall and winter, we stayed in touch with Cathy asking her questions and advice as we slowly moved to readiness -- mentally and with house projects -- without a contract. She even came with her photographer to take some summer photos to have on file so our pool area would "show" beautifully if we decided to list before 2023 bloom time. It was an investment she made in us, that I appreciated. Cathy brought in a group of highly talented professionals -- her wonderful stager, photographer and videographer -- to name them, and she had excellent recommendations for high-value, quality trade pros like painters, window washers, and more! We loved the final presentation of the house and it sold in 3 days. We found Cathy to be highly professional, extremely energetic, and someone willing to work as hard as we were to get the job done -- and done perfectly. Cathy is an outstanding partner to her clients, and we're thrilled we found her. Susan and James Millerick
We Loved Cathy and her Team. Selling a Home isn't always the easiest task but this Lady knows what she's doing. Cathy wasn't just our Realtor...I consider her a Friend. She's caring...compassionate and works for you and your family. She makes the experience very pleasant and personable. We got fortunate to have a Realtor like her. Her Team is professional yet very kind. We Love her and this Company!!! Thank you Cathy for making this experience a memorable one❤️ Kristen and Chad Gray
Cathy was absolutely fantastic! She was extremely driven and passionate about finding us the perfect house! Her many years of experience were vital, especially for us as first time homebuyers. She was always willing to explain parts of the process that we didn’t understand. She was very communicative and quick to respond, which was crucial in this fast paced market. Cathy was also very accommodating to us when we were still living out of state, driving all over CT and doing virtual showings with us. She is also extremely well connected, recommending the best mortgage lender, attorney, contractors, etc. We are so grateful to her and her hard work! We will definitely be recommending her to all our friends and will certainly give her a call if we need real estate help in the future! Patrick and Jamie Monico

Cathy was very professional and have given right directions to make right decisions Cornerstone Relocation
Cathy is an amazing realtor that goes above and beyond to help find exactly what you’re looking for in a home. She provided helpful industry insight and had great contacts that made going through the process easy and efficient. Cathy was also very thoughtful and kind and made our whole home buying experience something special. Dani and Nate Bruce
Cathy is a true professional. She is honest and works all hours of the day to get things done. When we were getting the house ready to sell she had us pack many of our things before it went on the market, and boy did it make a difference in how the house was able to be presented. She then brought in a professional stager and photographer that made our house look amazing. We got 6 offers after only 2 days on the market and ended up getting well over our asking price. Through the whole process Cathy was always good about communicating and consistently returned my call or text within hours. She was encouraging when I started to get overwhelmed and her attention to detail was reassuring, as I knew nothing would get missed. I have sold 2 other houses before and thought the other realtors were good... but Cathy is way better than any other we have experienced. It was a true joy and blessing to work with her! bridgetlogan
Cathy is FANTASTIC. She is super responsive and really cares. She is a go-getter and goes anove and beyond. We had a hiccup in our purchase due to a VA apprasial issue and even though it was beyond the scope of her responsibilties she got on the phone with multiple people (with my permission) including our mortgage lender and attorney to get it resolved quickly so we could close on time. she exceed our expectations throughout the entire process and we would 100% recommend Nickelle partyka
It was clear from the start that Cathy was not a typical realtor. Cathy sets up the sale to be successful up front and then drives it home. My wife and I were in a situation where we had a difficult property to sell due to buying at peak market in 2007 but wanted to relocate a few towns over. We had a price we needed to hit in order for our move to make financial sense. We knew it was high, but it was not completely unreasonable. We went to a few open houses and had a few realtors come by for a comparative market analysis on our sale. They all said that the price we needed wasn't possible in this market. We still kept attending open houses to see what's out there and that's when we met Cathy. She immediately stood out from all the other realtors we had met... she was attentive, knowledgeable about the home she was showing, and showed great interest in helping us. We were 'just browsing' so we did not really engage fully. A week later, we ran into her again at a different house and she immediately remembered us and pushed to come out for the CMA. We had her come out and she said yes - we can get the price we need and she is going to get it for us. It sounded a little too good to be true at first due to the others saying it wasn't possible but we decided to give it a go after we asked her how... She brought in her team which included professional photographers and brought in an interior designer to help us stage with truck loads of items to help dress our place up. She helped us for hours setting up our place. We started to want to stay because it was so 'cute' and 'cozy'. Most importantly, she found the comps for the appraiser to justify the asking price. Our open house was so successful to the point where there were lines and trouble parking. A few more private showings after that and we had an offer in 3 weeks after list. When others said it couldn't be done, she made it happen in no time at all. We had visibility into our web traffic with her marketing reports and were kept in the loop on mailings and other non-digital media. On top of all that, she helped us find our new home. That wasn't easy either. We were a bit picky and weren't going to settle. She met us at places multiple times a week, did 5-house tours on the weekends, and sent us listings as they came on the market - and a phone call usually followed to make sure we saw it to act fast. Cathy was in constant contact. We were never left wondering about anything- we knew the second anything happened. She also came to our closing, which is not something all realtors do. It was a nice addition and she was with us to the very end. We plan to be here for a while... but if the day should come that we need to move on or acquire a new place, Cathy is getting that phone call. briansol42
Cathy was an excellent find for us. Her connect in the local community, knowledge of the processes and long term commitment is exemplary. We took a little long to find our home, due to some changing dynamics and priorities. Cathy stayed with us through this journey without ever showing any frustration. Cathy's connect in the local community helped us get to the right people and talk to them at the right time. I wish her all the best - and when it is time to sell or look for a new home - I know where to knock. Thank you Cathy! monzzes
We recently hired Cathy McCahill to sell our home in Burlington, Connecticut. From our first meeting, we were very impressed with her local knowledge and expertise. She has an abundance of energy and enthusiasm, and maintained this throughout the entire selling process. She always made us feel like we were her only client, even though we knew she constantly had a very busy schedule. She gave us great advice as to what was required to prepare our home for sale, which was completed successfully in our required time frame. We highly recommend hiring Cathy McCahill for your home selling or buying experience. majella rylance
Cathy McCahill's reputation for lighting-fast sales precedes her. She came highly recommended by a friend, so when it came time to sell our starter home and buy a new home, we were thrilled that she could take us on as clients. Cathy was extremely professional, hard working, and responsive to every question each step of the way. She not only sold our house within a week (above our asking price!!!) but she also helped us secure the home of our dreams thanks to her sharp negotiating skills. Cathy McCahill exceeded our expectations for a real estate agent in every way. We are certain that we would not be where we are now without Cathy as our agent. Her work ethic and passion for this important job are outstanding and I highly recommend her! denisegammphoto
I can be difficult to work with - often demanding with high expectations. Cathy McCahill of Coldwell Banker did an absolutely amazing job selling our West Hartford house. 1) we sold above asking 2) we were under contract after three days 3) she made sure the appraisal came back satisfactory (likely set a record for highest $/town listed sq ft in the area) Cathy arranged for an amazing photographer whose pictures generated a massive amount of interest. She brought in a stager, used her own property to decorate the home, and had an amazing attitude throughout. I can't recommend her enough. If you want a hard working realtor with amazing results, give her a call. user97902079
I had two outstanding experiences with Cathy McCahill. Cathy sold my father's home after he passed away in 2015. She came in and hit the ground running. She gave me some great suggestions on how to get the most out of sale of the house. Her suggestions undoubtedly paid off as we had several offers on the house within hours of it hitting the market. We accepted an offer a day or two after the house hit the market. A year later, Cathy helped my wife and I sell our house and buy our dream home. Again, we had offers hours after the house hit the market and this was a challenging house to sell. In both cases, the offers we accepted exceeded my expectations. It doesn't take long working with Cathy to see that she is tireless and relentless when it comes to helping you meet your goals. She covers all bases and that makes it very easy to develop a working trust with her. She has an impressive knowledge of house construction that far exceeds any other agent I have spoken with. I always highly recommend her and consider myself lucky to have her as a friend. htartarelli
Cathy was a pleasure to work with. Always enthusiastic and upbeat, she worked tirelessly to find us just the right property. She then expertly handled the many details involved in negotiating a deal and getting the deal to settlement. Throughout our buying process, Cathy acted only with the highest integrity and with our best interests in mind. The service she provided was truly exceptional, and we recommend her highly. templemansc
Cathy worked with us extensively last summer and found us a beautiful home for our family. She was extremely; knowledgeable, diligent, and professional before and throughout our move, plus provided great education on the area. She is also very personable and a joy to be around! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Thanks, Canton CT Resident cartoonbank
Cathy helped us find our first home. She was patient and explained the entire process to us since we were first time home buyers. My husband and I felt that she worked her hardest to find us a home we love at the best and most competitive price possible. We recommend her to anyone looking to buy. user5433591
We had the absolutely best experience with Cathy! With a very short deadline to get into a house, she engaged quickly and helped us coordinate to get moved into a beautiful home! Cathy is direct, engaging, professional and personal. Would 100% work with her again. Rina Leonard
Cathy is the best!! Meeting Cathy felt like fate to us from beginning to end, she was involved in everything and was always a text or call away. Cathy was extremely helpful and informative when it came to questions that we had, she made my wife and I feel super welcomed and comfortable. It was as if we’ve known her this entire process. Cathy is definitely a part of our new family. Cathy will be watching for your best interest like a hawk! Walter and Hanna Mroczkowski

Cathy was as professional as you could ever ask for. Enthusiastic beyond belief. Cathy knows exactly what she is doing. We have already recommended Cathy to two friends and they both are now listed with Sotheby’s Kim and Rose Sonstroem
Cathy was very professional and incredibly enthusiastic throughout the entire process of selling our home. We could not have asked for anyone better to represent us for the sale of our home Kim and Rose Sonstroem
Cathy McCahill is a fantastic realtor. From day one, she guided us through the sale process, was always available to answer our questions and we had the utmost confidence in her ability to sell our house. We highly recommend Cathy! Brian and Fiona Rosenberg
Cathy is nothing short of amazing. If you want a realtor who is kind and considerate and will go to bat for your family with your best interests at heart and get the job done in a crazy and competitive market, look no further. She made everything so seamless and easy and was there for us every step of the way, always accessible for questions and concerns. We moved across the country and bought a house sight unseen and we felt confident and comfortable the entire time, especially given her expertise with the building process and industry knowledge in the state of CT in addition to her deep understanding of the needs of a young family. Cathy truly cares about her clients and we feel so lucky to have found her! Andrew and Katie Parker

We were very fortunate to have worked with Catherine McCahill through our first home buying experience! She was very kind, thoughtful and informative throughout the entire process and we couldn't have asked for anything more! She was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Cathy was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal.We're now in our new place and couldn't thank Cathy enough for all of her hard work! I would highly recommend Cathy and the entire William Pitt Sotheby International Realty team to anyone who is searching for a home! Rengarajan Srinivasan
Cathy is phenomenal and we know we are always in good hands with her knowledge and attention to detail. We couldn't be happier with how she helped us manage both the home sale and new purchase. She is a trusted partner we would always recommend! Mike and Rina Leonard
We struggled to find our perfect home especially in this housing market and Cathy was such a pleasure to work with during a difficult time. Cathy proved on multiple occasions to be a tremendously hard worker who is extremely knowledgeable. She is an excellent negotiator with a plethora of resources. Whatever needed to done during our homebuying process, Cathy knew the right people to do it. She worked as if she was looking for a home for her own family. Cathy was always upfront and honest with her feedback about the making properties we viewed. When we found the perfect home, Cathy was able to get us the best deal possible through an intense negotiation process. She was even able to get us into our home by Christmas time by getting us to close early. Thank you Cathy for all your hard work. We are eternally grateful to you. Thank you for helping us find our forever home. Melisha and Michico
Excellent work all around. Cathy McCahill went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Jason & Elizabeth Hilby
Cathy Macahill was able to listen, understand our needs, and outdid herself in assisting us with identifying the best property. Her breadth of knowledge about the area, properties, adjunct service providers, etc. has allowed us to find the perfect property to build our forever home on. Denise and Bruce Bilodeau
My experience with William Pitt/Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty has been a very positive one. I had the opportunity to work with Cathy McCahill of your Avon, CT office in my search for a new home. Cathy and I discussed my price range, locality preferences, as well as house type and features. Cathy found the perfect homes for me to view. Once I made a decision on a home Cathy navigated me through the process of obtaining a mortgage and explained each phase of the process to me. Cathy presented herself in a very professional manner and listened to my concerns and questions. She kept in daily contact with me, if only to see if I had any questions. Cathy made, what could have been a very stressful experience, as painless as possible. I would and will recommend Cathy McCahill to anyone in search of a new home. I wish to thank Cathy again for all she did for me. Best regards, Barry Williams Barry Williams
Our agent, Cathy Mc Cahill worked harder for us than any of the agents who listed our previous 4 houses! She is very high energy, hard working and knowledgeable about the real estate market as well as using many marketing strategies. John and Karen Everett
Cathy McCahill was a total Pro throughout my selling process. Cathy invested not only her years of experience but a great amount of her time, energy and attention to detail. This realtor along with her helpful and competent team helped from start to finish. Thank you! Denise Pratt
Cathy was great to work with! As we faced the inevitable highs and lows that come with searching for a new home in a challenging housing market, Cathy’s knowledge and experience were invaluable. Through many showings and multiple offers made on multiple houses, Cathy was with us every step of the way. She always kept us moving forward with her positive attitude and the idea that, “Your home is out there, we just haven’t found it yet.” When we eventually did find our home, Cathy was also helpful in making sure that the closing went seamlessly. Cathy is a true professional and we are so thankful that she is our realtor. Thank you Cathy, we love our new home! Todd & Susan B.
From our first conversation, Kathy was warm and friendly, took the time to understand what we were looking for, and we knew we could trust her as our realtor. Dealing with buying a house on the other side of the country is extremely difficult and Kathy did everything she could to make it a smooth process, including making herself available when one or both of us were in town, quickly scheduling estimates/inspections, and communicating with us later into her evenings. Now that we’ve moved in Kathy continues to check in on us regularly. We couldn’t appreciate her more and would recommend her in a heartbeat. Justin and Laura Levy
Cathy’s professional knowledge and intuition guided us through the experience of selling our home of 18 years. We put ourselves in her hands and followed her lead in staging, marketing and pricing our house. This resulted in multiple offers that Cathy helped us negotiate. Her attention to timeline and detail is superior. She stayed on top of the process. We knew our sale was front and center of her mind even in an extraordinarily active market. Cathy doesn’t let up at the finish line either. She took charge of last walk through and stayed engaged with closing process even as we drove to our new home state. We could leave knowing that Cathy cared as much as we did about our house. We highly recommend Cathy McCahill. Mari Ellen Valyo
Cathy is a top notch realtor. I would not want to work with anyone else when it comes to buying or selling a house (which we have done both with her). She is the best at making sure we knew what was going on during all steps of the process... most recently buying a house. Cathy has a lot of good contacts that we were able to use that gave us helpful information we needed to make informed decisions and that we are still using to upgrade parts of our house. She also has so much experience herself that she knows what potential downfalls to look for and is a good counsel when making decisions about what price to offer, what to negotiate with inspections and how to make it to the closing table. The thing I appreciated the most about Cathy is that she was available when we needed to talk or text with her... or if she wasn’t available immediately she got back to us very quickly. She never left us hanging and wondering what was going on... and when we needed answers she got them as quickly as she could. Cathy was great to work with and I would highly recommend her. Thank you for a great experience! Bridget and Doug Logan
This was our third, excellent, experience with realtor, Cathy McCahill, in both buying and selling homes. She is detail-oriented, readily available, and tireless in her efforts. She knows the market and its many fluctuations/changes over time, and she is never hesitant to offer suggestions or helpful guidance. She definitely gets the job done! Alex Cushman
To start…Cathy is a force of nature. she doesn’t just do her job—she does it with passion, zeal & drive. Her knowledge of the market, the latest trends & best practices for selling a home is unmatched. Cathy helped us find our home in 2015–and she was exactly the same client-focused, savvy estate guru. That’s why when we were ready to sell the home she helped us buy, we needed Cathy in our corner! On top of it all, Cathy is caring, kind & understanding—even if there are bumps in the road to closing you know that Cathy will help you navigate them all. Thanks I’m sorry I don’t have additional property for Cathy to help us sell! Since I don’t I’ll just say that I’d recommend Cathy to anyone who wants the consummate real estate professional working on their behalf. There is none better. Lori feldman
Cathy was VERY professional, efficient, personable, and EFFECTIVE. Cassie Aitchison
As a home remodeling contractor, we got to work closely with Cathy McCahill on a project in Bristol when she was hired as the listing agent for the homeowner. Her expertise, ability to manage this listing in this crazy market for a successful expedited sale and her level of professionalism and customer service exceeded all our expectations! You definitely would not go wrong hiring her as your listing agent whether you are selling a cozy family home or an expansive estate in the Litchfield Hills! She will accommodate your selling needs, work tirelessly and strategically to get the sale closed always making you feel that you are her top priority! Job well done Cathy McCahill! Gail Zaepfel-Melanson
We'd give Cathy 10 stars if we could ! She impressed us on a daily basis with her dedication not only to marketing our property, but also paid detailed attention to our purchase agreement to ensure our interests were always safe guarded. We were out of state during the sale of our home and Cathy spent an enormous amount of time not only with every showing, but she also met with many inspectors and contractors at our home on our behalf ,on several occasions. Her communication and follow up was constant with us and all parties involved, always remaining calm even during stressful situations. We highly recommend Cathy for the sale or purchase of your new home ! Jean & Mark Stender
Cathy went above and beyond for us. She was by our side before and after the sale. She handled herself in a very professional And caring manner even when dealing with a very difficult seller. She listened to our needs and fought for them every step of the way. Her knowledge of the area assisted us in finding a wonderful Lawyer, general contractor, plumbers, etc. Finding your family a home is not just a job to her, it is who she is. She truly loves what she does and it is evident in the service she provides. Philip & Rebecca Fairchild
Cathy is a true professional. She is honest and works all hours of the day to get things done. When we were getting the house ready to sell she had us pack many of our things before it went on the market, and boy did it make a difference in how the house was able to be presented. She then brought in a professional stager and photographer that made our house look amazing. We got 6 offers after only 2 days on the market and ended up getting well over our asking price. Through the whole process Cathy was always good about communicating and consistently returned my call or text within hours. She was encouraging when I started to get overwhelmed and her attention to detail was reassuring, as I knew nothing would get missed. I have sold 2 other houses before and thought the other realtors were good... but Cathy is way better than any other we have experienced. It was a true joy and blessing to work with her! Bridget Logan
Cathy is the best! I had had a top selling agent who pre judged the value of my home to be much lower than I expected, and we parted ways. I found Cathy who understood the changing market and worked with me to sell my home for a very good price enabling me to move just where I wanted! Cheryl Barnum

-honest feedback, e.g. Cathy said our wallpaper was outdated and when we had it taken down it made a big difference. She also was able to get the painter she uses promptly. zuser20150920160500645
Highly recommend. Cathy knew all the exact details to get my mom’s house sold. All this during COVID-19 but we got it sold. Cathy was always on top of everything and kept us informed during the entire process. Thank you Cathy. user2174267

I recently had the pleasure of working with Cathy McCahill when looking for my home. From day 1,Cathy was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what I was looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing Cathy was quick handling any issues that may have risen. If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be! ryanpersaud91

We had an offer on our house within three days of listing in the height o the COVID19 pandemic which we attribute to Cathy’s dedication.Her enthusiasm and work ethic kept our negotiations moving forward.

Cathy McCahill helped us sell our home and purchase our new home! She couldn’t have been more helpful and has become a good friend in the process. Easy to work with, great personality and really knows her stuff! We were able to sell our home for asking price within weeks of listing and purchase our new home for a great price, thanks to her advice and negotiations. camille6937
Cathy went above and beyond. She helped me and my daughter find the best “forever home” post divorce. We are looking forward to a bright future in our new happy place thanks to Cathy’s help. She also helped me find the perfect community for my Mom to relocate to from Florida after my Dad passed and introduced her to a Fla realtor who helped her sell her home. All this was done within several months of each other. She walked me through an Intimidating and stressful process and shared her know and expertise every step other the way.

Cathy helped us find our first home. She was patient and explained the entire process to us since we were first time home buyers. My husband and I felt that she worked her hardest to find us a home we love at the best and most competitive price possible. We recommend her to anyone looking to buy. Past Client
Cathy knows her business inside and out. She knew how to price the house to get people in. She did several open houses and we had several offers. Always professional and was able to direct us to other professionals for work we needed done. 100% satisfied. Past Client
Cathy's experience, work ethic, communication skills, knowledge of the market and follow through are just some of the qualities that make her an outstanding choice to work with when choosing a real estate agent! She pulls no punches with what has to get done to prepare your house for a fast and painless sale. We had multiple offers on our house after only one open house! We worked well together through all the hurtles that needed to be jumped while selling our house and moved on to our new house within 6 weeks of placing the sign in the front yard. Past Client

Cathy is the hardest working realtor we have worked with ever! I highly recommend her. She is a dedicated professional, easy to communicate with and detail-oriented. A pleasure to work with. Past Client
Cathy is an excellent realtor! Enthusiastic and really knows her stuff! We’ve moved so many times because of my husband’s job and have worked with a lot of realtors. Cathy is one of the best! She had a stager come out and the three of us hung pictures and moved furniture together. Sold my house in 3 weeks following Cathy’s advice! Past Client
We recently hired Cathy McCahill to sell our home in Burlington, Connecticut. From our first meeting, we were very impressed with her local knowledge and expertise. She has an abundance of energy and enthusiasm, and maintained this throughout the entire selling process. She always made us feel like we were her only client, even though we knew she constantly had a very busy schedule. She gave us great advice as to what was required to prepare our home for sale, which was completed successfully in our required time frame. We highly recommend hiring Cathy McCahill for your home selling or buying experience. Past Client
We had the absolutely best experience with Cathy! With a very short deadline to get into a house, she engaged quickly and helped us coordinate to get moved into a beautiful home! Cathy is direct, engaging, professional and personal. Would 100% work with her again. Past Client
Over the past few years I have worked with Cathy on the purchase of land, the processes of building a new construction home, renting a condo and the sale of a condo. Through it all, Cathy was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable and very positive! I highly recommend her as a realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell property. She is hard working and never gives up. You can be confident that Cathy will always listen to what you want and always have your best interests in mind. We are lucky to have her in our community. Past Client
It was clear from the start that Cathy was not a typical realtor. Cathy sets up the sale to be successful up front and then drives it home. My wife and I were in a situation where we had a difficult property to sell due to buying at peak market in 2007 but wanted to relocate a few towns over. We had a price we needed to hit in order for our move to make financial sense. We knew it was high, but it was not completely unreasonable. We went to a few open houses and had a few realtors come by for a comparative market analysis on our sale. They all said that the price we needed wasn't possible in this market. We still kept attending open houses to see what's out there and that's when we met Cathy. She immediately stood out from all the other realtors we had met... she was attentive, knowledgeable about the home she was showing, and showed great interest in helping us. We were 'just browsing' so we did not really engage fully. A week later, we ran into her again at a different house and she immediately remembered us and pushed to come out for the CMA. We had her come out and she said yes - we can get the price we need and she is going to get it for us. It sounded a little too good to be true at first due to the others saying it wasn't possible but we decided to give it a go after we asked her how... She brought in her team which included professional photographers and brought in an interior designer to help us stage with truck loads of items to help dress our place up. She helped us for hours setting up our place. We started to want to stay because it was so 'cute' and 'cozy'. Most importantly, she found the comps for the appraiser to justify the asking price. Our open house was so successful to the point where there were lines and trouble parking. A few more private showings after that and we had an offer in 3 weeks after list. When others said it couldn't be done, she made it happen in no time at all. We had visibility into our web traffic with her marketing reports and were kept in the loop on mailings and other non-digital media. On top of all that, she helped us find our new home. That wasn't easy either. We were a bit picky and weren't going to settle. She met us at places multiple times a week, did 5-house tours on the weekends, and sent us listings as they came on the market - and a phone call usually followed to make sure we saw it to act fast. Cathy was in constant contact. We were never left wondering about anything- we knew the second anything happened. She also came to our closing, which is not something all realtors do. It was a nice addition and she was with us to the very end. We plan to be here for a while... but if the day should come that we need to move on or acquire a new place, Cathy is getting that phone call. Brian & Oksana

From the moment I interviewed Cathy McCahill for the job of representing our home, I knew she was the perfect realtor for us. She did not disappoint! She performed a detailed market analysis, created an aggressive marketing strategy and actively followed up with me (practically daily) during the entire process of selling our home. That process includes all of the tasking required to prepare the home for entering the MLS all the way through to closing day. The result was that we had a solid offer within days of it entering the market and we closed a little more than a month later. Cathy is a very experienced, high energy individual who really loves what she does. I am very thankful that I selected Cathy McCahill from Sothoby’s as our realtor and would definitely do so again without any hesitation whatsoever. Without a doubt, it is a pleasure for me to offer my highest possible recommendation for her services. john delcamp
Cathy did a superb job in the sale of our home. She was practical in her advice. She also offered to help out on any logistical issue when we were away and needed someone to be there when various tasks needed to be done. She is clearly a go-to broker whom we would recommend without equivocation. She is simply tireless in her effort to assist the customer, and does so with humor and humility. In a challenging market, she was able to steer our efforts to sell our house to a successful conclusion. swissnergross9

Cathy did a great job of getting our house ready to sell from assisting us in staging to ensuring marketing materials, photos and videos were of the highest quality. Once on the market she gave us the guidance and coaching we needed to ensure we were able to get the best price possible for our home. user5552143

Cathy was a fantastic agent who promised us she would sell our house no matter what effort was required on her part. She worked diligently and provided us constant updates and feedback. We would highly recommend anyone looking to sell their home to contact her. Any agent can list a home online but it takes a great agent with follow through and determination to make a deal and keep it together. cthuskie79
Cathy was absolutely on point in all aspects of selling my home. I highly recommend her and would use her again anytime. She is aggressive knowledgeable and completely understands the market. Great negotiating skills. Great knowledge of home systems. Great network of contractors to help prepare the house for sale. bikes8499

Cathy was an excellent find for us. Her connect in the local community, knowledge of the processes and long term commitment is exemplary. We took a little long to find our home, due to some changing dynamics and priorities. Cathy stayed with us through this journey without ever showing any frustration. Cathy's connect in the local community helped us get to the right people and talk to them at the right time. I wish her all the best - and when it is time to sell or look for a new home - I know where to knock. Thank you Cathy! Manojit S
I worked with another company trying to sell my house for several years. I then hired Cathy and Coldwell Banker. Cathy did an amazing job from start to finish. She gave me a thorough list of things that needed to be completed before the house went on the market. She brought in a stager, and a professional photographer. The house showed really well and I had an offer the 2nd day it was on the market. Needless to say, I'm very happy that I hired Cathy and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. jason atsales

Cathy recently served as my listing agent to sell my home, and as my buyer's agent to buy a new home. I found Cathy to be an excellent in both roles. She is personable, communicates well, works extremely hard, and provides actionable recommendations in her roles as both the listing and seller's agent. She also has the experience to accurately assess the real estate markets and provides great guidance for her clients. She gets the job done and I would highly recommend her. Thanks dsjepsky
Cathy assisted me as a buyer's agent and I wound up buying a REO property. This was my first REO purchase and she was able to effectively negotiate with the bank's agent and provide referrals for contractors and other professionals so I could estimate renovation costs. She was assertive, knowledgeable and always very responsive (even while on a short vacation). See is a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend her services! jafitzger
Cathy was great and easy to deal with, she was available any time of the day and helped us when she didn't have too. 10/10. Would highly recommend especially to first time buyers, she will carefully handle you as clients. ltbroom
I can be difficult to work with - often demanding with high expectations. Cathy McCahill of Coldwell Banker did an absolutely amazing job selling our West Hartford house. 1) we sold above asking 2) we were under contract after three days 3) she made sure the appraisal came back satisfactory (likely set a record for highest $/town listed sq ft in the area) Cathy arranged for an amazing photographer whose pictures generated a massive amount of interest. She brought in a stager, used her own property to decorate the home, and had an amazing attitude throughout. I can't recommend her enough. If you want a hard working realtor with amazing results, give her a call. user97902079
I had a great experience working with Cathy and recently closed on a property. She is really professional and hard working. She works hard for her clients and makes sure things are closed appropriately before she puts things to bed which is what I really like about working with her. You wouldn't have to worry about things when she has it on her to follow up, she definitely does track it to closure. I would definitely recommend Cathy as a very knowledgeable and professional realtor. prashu318
Cathy McCahill's reputation for lighting-fast sales precedes her. She came highly recommended by a friend, so when it came time to sell our starter home and buy a new home, we were thrilled that she could take us on as clients. Cathy was extremely professional, hard working, and responsive to every question each step of the way. She not only sold our house within a week (above our asking price!!!) but she also helped us secure the home of our dreams thanks to her sharp negotiating skills. Cathy McCahill exceeded our expectations for a real estate agent in every way. We are certain that we would not be where we are now without Cathy as our agent. Her work ethic and passion for this important job are outstanding and I highly recommend her! denisegammphoto
Cathy worked with us extensively last summer and found us a beautiful home for our family. She was extremely; knowledgeable, diligent, and professional before and throughout our move, plus provided great education on the area. She is also very personable and a joy to be around! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Thanks, Canton CT Resident cartoonbank

I had two outstanding experiences with Cathy McCahill. Cathy sold my father's home after he passed away in 2015. She came in and hit the ground running. She gave me some great suggestions on how to get the most out of sale of the house. Her suggestions undoubtedly paid off as we had several offers on the house within hours of it hitting the market. We accepted an offer a day or two after the house hit the market. A year later, Cathy helped my wife and I sell our house and buy our dream home. Again, we had offers hours after the house hit the market and this was a challenging house to sell. In both cases, the offers we accepted exceeded my expectations. It doesn't take long working with Cathy to see that she is tireless and relentless when it comes to helping you meet your goals. She covers all bases and that makes it very easy to develop a working trust with her. She has an impressive knowledge of house construction that far exceeds any other agent I have spoken with. I always highly recommend her and consider myself lucky to have her as a friend. htartarelli

I cannot find anything negative to say about Cathy, she is by far the best Realtor I have worked with and what I really liked was that she really listened to us as her clients. She has such enthusiasm and positivity when working with her and her expertise is so good. It's very hard to find someone who really enjoys working with us as we aren't the easiest of people to please, but Cathy really pulled out all the stops for us. I will also work with her again without hesitation. user8919061
