Testimonials

We met Cathrine at an open house, although that property wouldn’t work for us she took down our information. She found us a home within 2 weeks that came on the market that day. She is a real professional, tough negotiator and extremely knowledgeable.

She was so great that we gave her our waterfront home & adjoining lot to sell. She had a contract within 2 days on the market. We highly recommend her to all!!!
Catherine, Thank you!!!

Catherine Rhodes Has Our Highest Recommendation!

Having been a real estate attorney in California for 40+ years I’ve worked with hundreds of agents. I would rank Catherine in the top 1%! She is the top broker in the sub market of Cypress Run where my wife and I purchased a home. Her communication, professionalism and market knowledge were all 5 star. Most important was her timely advice on every possible aspect of our move from processing HOA approvals to setting up utilities and providing referrals for the best vendors including inspectors, plumbers, electricians, and handymen. She has continued to assist us even after our closing and helped us organize our welcome to the neighborhood party! Hiring Catherine will be one of the best decisions you can make when buying a home here in Tarpon Springs!
-Sincerely, David and Diane Griffith

We were highly satisfied with Catherine’s services when we purchased our home in Cypress Run West Villas. She was responsive and responsible in handling so many things that saved us not only time but money as well.

She has a wealth of knowledge concerning the local real estate market that helped us get our home at the right price.

We highly recommend Catherine to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate.

Genuinely wants you to find your dream home.
I can’t recommend Catherine enough. This with be our third home that I’ve bought and by far the smoothest transaction to date. Catherine has surpassed any expectation that I would have of an agent. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the local market, real estate trends, quick to pick up on our personal needs and adapt viewings accordingly. She truly would go to bat for us in terms of negotiations with sellers. She is a true professional, takes her practice very seriously and is very thorough with respect to finding homes for us. She has a vast network of local tradespeople to help with urgent needs (e.g. inspection scheduling in a very busy market) I highly recommend Catherine to anyone seeking to buy a home in the Tampa Bay /Sarasota area.

Love my beach place!
Catherine was wonderful in providing her honest opinion of properties. I was 110miles away so needed to rely on her expertise. And it paid off! Catherine kept me calm during some bumps at closing and helped provide me with some furnishings which enable me to enjoy my new right after closing. Catherine is very professional and provides excellent service!

Seamless dual closing.
Catherine was absolutely hands-down the best realtor I have ever had. She assisted me with the sale of my home as well as the purchase of another. Dual-closings can be very stressful. She made it seamless. She knew the markets, the communities and demonstrated her marketing expertise selling my home during Covid. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone buying, selling or renting their property.

Made buying and selling so easy.
Catherine assisted us with buying a home as well as selling our home. It was imperative that we close at the same time on both properties. She made the transactions so easy. She also was a very effective negotiator not just with the buyers for our home but with the sellers on the home we wanted to purchase. The sellers did not want to accept the contingency for us to sell our home to buy theirs. She made it happen. We couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely recommend her to all of our friends, family and colleagues.

Selling a Unique Waterfront property.
Catherine continues to impress us and that’s why we have used her for numerous transactions. Initially, she sold our waterfront property that was on 3 lots. The house was older and needed some work but still a beautiful piece of property that had great potential. We were blown away when she sent us the listing and the professional pictures she had taken. The photographer she chose made our house look amazing! Even we couldn’t believe it was our home. We had a lot of buyers wanting to preview the property and Catherine always made sure they were qualified to purchase. We also used Catherine on 2 other transactions where we purchased homes. Absolutely perfect transactions. Eventually, we sold another one of those homes, Catherine handled that transaction and even had it featured on House Hunters for HGTV! Always a pleasure to recommend Catherine. We know that both buyers and sellers will be in good hands.

Wow! Catherine was beyond the most professional and helpful real estate agent I have ever worked with.
I had to sell my mom’s house in a 55 and older community, Heritage Springs in Trinity, FL. We listed it and then decided that the roof was too old for a buyer to insure so Catherine took it upon herself to search out 7 estimates with roofing companies for our family to choose from and select. In addition, she always kept the place clean, and when we were busy and couldn’t clean the property for the walk thru, she took it upon herself to clean all the cabinets, drawers and additional items out of the house and dispose of them properly. She even moved all items from the house into the garage before our first showing. No other realtor has ever done this for us. She does what it takes to sell a property and doesn’t ask questions. She is a perfectionist! Catherine goes above and beyond when needed. As a trust sale Catherine also guided us on how to prepare the accounts for the funds and educate us on the handling of proceeds. Thank you so much, you were a breath of fresh air in a market when other realtors just list a property to make a commission. We feel that you really cared. We highly recommend Catherine!

Catherine did a thorough job on the sale of my villa. I was extremely pleased with the work that was done in the transaction. Several issues surfaced and she handled them both quickly and professionally. It was a pleasure working with her. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a friend.
