Overall things worked out for us. Cathy worked hard to get a deal to happen and was a good advocate for us. There were some frustrations and missteps around separate bill of sale items but it got worked out in the end. Cathy was able to keep things moving along despite her own move and responded very quickly to our texts and calls.

We have had great success working with Cathy on several occasions now, she is extremely helpful with navigating the purchase and sale process. We look forward to continually working with her in the future!

We were very pleased working with Cathy, and helped greatly in our transition from out of state !

We met Cathy randomly after finding her on a listing we were interested in online. From that first meeting we were determined to let her help us find our forever home. From start to finish Cathy made every step professional and extremely pleasant. Our home sold within just a few weeks and I know we wouldn’t have been able to do that without her. She went above and beyond to make our dream happen. Her advice on the selling of our old home was spot on. We are so thankful to have found such a great agent. I highly recommend Cathy for any real estate needs you have. She will not disappoint.
Cathy is an absolute ROCK STAR!!! She came to our rescue when at the last minute we decided to move to SC instead of NC as part of a work relocation. We only had two days to find a home and she jumped right in. We enjoyed working with her so very much! She is so very organized and just on top of everything. She was a joy to work with & now that we have relocated to SC we absolutely consider her a friend :) - Julie & David Espinoza from Granbury, TX
We could not have been blessed with a better agent than Cathy! She was attentive, responsive and a wealth of information. Our “wants” were very particular as we searched for the perfect lot on which to build our forever home. Cathy was patient with us and, ultimately, we found EXACTLY what we were looking for! She was (and is) the best!!

Cathy was great
Most agents that I requested property information from would not even return my calls
Cathy always responded with phone calls and emails

Cathy is a delight to work with; a true professional. Cathy is responsive, proactive, and knows her market very well. Cathy excels in all phases of residential real estate; from finding the right home, negotiating a fair deal, to executing due diligence and closing. We are very grateful that Cathy represented us on our recent home purchase and would recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling a home here in Glassy.
Cathy was recommended to us by friends as the right agent to work with as we were considering purchasing a second home on Glassy Mountain, We could not have been more pleased with her knowledge and expertise as an agent. The bottom line is she helped us buy us house rather than simply trying to sell us a house. We now have a couple that are our friends that are also looking and we have already put them in touch with Cathy.
Cathy Markitell is an exceptional realtor. Her professional attention to detail sets her apart. I enjoyed the process, although stressful, and her kind manner and knowledge served to help me through. She was prompt, available, and caring. Should I need help with real estate again, Cathy will surely be my first call. Thanks, Cathy!

Cathy Markitell was a wonderful help in finding our new home. Thank you, Cathy!
William Ilund
Cathy has been absolutely wonderful. It took us longer to get our pre-approval than we initially thought. We also looked at many, many houses that either weren't right for us or got snatched up so quickly, we didn't even get to think about whether we liked them or not. We were even under contract for a house that flooded and we had to get out of that one. After all of that we finally found the perfect house for us. Cathy stuck with us and went above and beyond to help us find just what our family needed, and to make sure our loan and closing stayed on track.
We were so fortunate to land you as our agent. You made our dreams come true. You were more than an agent. Within a few minutes you gave us a feeling of friendship......not just a partnership. The way you showed the property and your knowledge was very impressive. I really appreciate the hard work you did for us. Answering my calls whenever I called and getting the answers very promptly. I remember calling and you had the flu...….but guess what? You still answered and supported us. I was vey impressed and really appreciate the document book you provided at closing with all the details of the process and information we may need in the future. Just to let you know....everything is going great, we love the home and we thank you so much for helping us get it!
Cathy went above and beyond to get us into our first home. We spent many late evenings crisscrossing the upstate in search of a house to bring our baby home to. And when one house would go to another buyer we would move onto the next with Cathy's undying support and enthusiasm. If you have the pleasure to work with Cathy you will find the home buying process more enjoyable and transparent.
Cathy was extremely professional and had my best interest at heart in purchasing my home. She guided me through all the steps and negotiations and explained everything step by step. Extremely organized with all the paperwork. I highly recommend working with Cathy!!!
Tammy Merkel
Cathy was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. She never made us feel pressured into purchasing a home that wasn't right for us. From beginning to end we always felt like she had our best interests in mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.
Morven B.
My experience working with Cathy was fantastic. I'm a first-time home buyer and Cathy could not have made the process any easier for me. Cathy provided amazing support throughout the home buying experience and was proactive in liaising with all the necessary parties to ensure the entire process ran smoothly. Not once did I feel pressure from Cathy to make any hasty decisions - she understood this was a big step for me and acted with the utmost patience and professionalism throughout. I truly felt as though Cathy was equally invested in finding my first home as I was.
Cathy is conscientious and reliable. I know that she's new to this business, but she seems dedicated to learning quickly and I think she'll be very successful.
Lucia and Todd R.
Best service by Kathy, She has been outstanding in answering all my questions and concerns. I am sure we will have a great relationship while in search for a home in Greenville. Definitely a FIVE.

Ms. Cathy is a great person to speak to. I went into the office to inquire information about a future home for my family. She was professional, personal, and poised. I greatly appreciate her sincerity and the vibe she gives off. I am excited to start the process with Ms. Cathy!!! She is the bee's knees!!!!!

I was referred to Cathy by one of her colleagues in 2016 when I was conducting my own research on the Greenville/Spartanburg area as a potential retirement location. I had never been to that area of S. Carolina and knew little about it other than what I'd read in various publication. From the first moment I spoke to Cathy presented and acted very professional and she was very responsive, not to mention thorough. We communicated electronically for many months before I finally decided to personally visit the area in August 2017. Cathy was so very helpful in many, many ways. I was stunned to find out that she was new to real estate as she was so knowledgeable and thorough that I assumed she had made real estate her career, when in fact she came from a polar opposite field. From my first day in Greenville she was kind enough to chauffeur us from one location of Greenville to another. She'd spent many hours researching properties & locations, and had prepared a very organized binder which included maps, MLS listings, demographics, etc.. She did all this full well knowing that I was not ready to buy, and that I just wanted to see what the area had to offer me in my retirement. Due to a family emergency, Cathy was unable to complete her time with us and referred us to another agent, but not before providing that agent with several properties that she thought might meet my criteria. It was during my time with this other agent that I found the perfect home. Cathy worked in conjunction with the other agent and I was able to close on the transaction on Sept. 28, 2017. From the financing to the closing Cathy was there for me, and continued supporting me in a very professional exercising patience and understanding. It is with pride, and without hesitation, that I am happy to recommend her services to anyone looking for assistance in the real estate market.
Cathy is what you look for in a real estate agent. Professional, knowledgeable about the current market, gives good advice on organizing the rooms for best presentation and stays in contact with updates weekly. Her enthusiasm and dedication is well appreciated.
