This year I made a promise to myself to take better care of my body and do better at work/life balance. Those that know me well, know I tend to be a workaholic. I love what I do, but my job truly can consume your life 24/7. Balance is honestly a goal every year, and I decided to be intentional this year to make this happen. I recently started going to classes at a new “gym” called True Movement. It has been such a great experience. Stretching and strengthening muscles, balance… all things I needed so badly. Similar to reformer Pilates but different. If you are looking to try something new, and want to stretch muscles in places you didn’t know you had them, check this place out. They have introductory group of classes for $69 to see if it’s for you and explore the different options. I’ve been feeling so great since I started. I hope this is helpful or encouraging to someone that reads this:). 🙌💪

I had the pleasure of selling the home of a family that babysat my kids about 28 yrs. ago! And it was the actual home they babysat them in. She said they knew when they were ready to move, they had no question who they would call. Awww❤️. What an honor. Such an adorable home with pride of ownership and thoughtful updates GALORE. I couldn’t be happier for them to finish so strong and move onto the next chapter of their journey. What a pleasure it was to reconnect, stage and work alongside them in selling their home. We enjoyed SO MANY laughs along the way. Congrats!!! 🥂

Happy Memorial Day weekend. It’s always a fun weekend with family, friends and activities. But always take time to remember and honor those who have fallen while they have served our great country and the families they have left behind.

I had the best time working with these sellers. If I could write a testimonial for them, it would be top tier for sure. They were so open to guidance, were super task oriented in getting things accomplished and home ready to meet deadlines. It was such a pleasure to work alongside them and a bonus to get multiple offers, $30k over list, and the close date they wanted. Definitely a win/win for sellers and the new buyers. What a pride of ownership home they will enjoy in a great neighborhood for years to come. Congrats to all.

I hope all my family, friends and clients enjoyed a day of relaxation, maybe being spoiled, felt celebrated and took some time for themselves, whatever that looked like. I was able to get away and spend quality time with my daughter over the weekend❤️, alas my late post. I always feel grateful on this day for the awesome children God chose me to be mother to. And for the amazing mom I honor and was so blessed to have. Oh what I wouldn’t give to have just one more day with her😥. I also know and recognize that Mothers Day can be a very difficult one for many. For those ladies I’m sending the biggest hugs 🤗

My client was happy with the sale of his home. Here is what he had to say:
Unfortunately I didn’t get to see Cathy much because she sold my home in 10 days. When she came to the house for our first meeting she was very professional and made some suggestions. My home was empty so on her own initiative she placed some decorations around the house so it didn’t look empty. Very well done and tasteful. It made a huge difference in the presentation. She kept me up to date on the negotiations with the buyers and made suggestions on any negotiations. She coordinated everything with the lawyer and vice versa. I highly recommend Cathy to buy a home or sell your home. Very friendly and professional.
