Before real estate, Cathy spent more than three decades in corporate leadership roles focused on operations and Human Resources. That experience shaped how she serves clients today: with strong communication, thoughtful problem-solving, skilled negotiation, and a people-first approach to advocacy.
Cathy also brings more than 20 years of personal experience owning and operating both long-term and short-term rental properties. This gives her practical insight into second homes, seasonal residences, investment properties, rental potential, property maintenance, and long-term ownership considerations.
She holds an MBA from Colorado State University and is a Certified Business Coach, giving clients a strong foundation in planning, communication, negotiation, and transaction management.
Cathy works with clients buying and selling throughout the Tucson market, with a focus on Catalina Foothills and surrounding Southern Arizona communities. She understands the needs of relocating clients, seasonal residents (aka snowbirds), second-home buyers, sellers preparing for a lifestyle transition, and clients exploring the Catalina Foothills lifestyle.
Cathy’s reputation includes dozens of 5-star ratings and clients often describe her as knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely supportive, especially during major moves, out-of-state transitions, and important life changes.
They praise her clear communication, steady guidance, attention to detail, and ability to make the buying or selling process feel organized and less stressful. Her dedication to serving others extends beyond real estate through her volunteer work and prior board service with the Southern Arizona Community Food Bank.
From the first conversation to closing and beyond, Cathy’s goal is to help every client feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the buying or selling process.

Testimonials
"Cathy and her husband, Randy, have been providing home watch services for our new home in Tucson since June, while we were at our other residence. From the first time we met them we had confidence that our home would be in good hands and we could trust them to treat it as if it was one of their own properties. During the five months we used their service they brought several potential problems to our attention and were quick to solve them. Cathy has been perfect with communication and they have been professional in every detail. We will continue to rely upon Peace of Mind Home Watch Services any time the need arises, and highly recommend them to others. 11/25/2024 • Tom H "

"Cathy was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was proactive in suggesting properties that might be of interest to us, yet not pushy at all. She would listen to our feedback and then tell us what priorities she was hearing from us. As a result, we ended up finding our perfect dream home. When we ran into a sticking point with the sellers, Cathy found a creative way to salvage the deal. Since closing she has been a wealth of information and advice. Throughout the entire process Cathy was patient, understanding, optimistic without being unrealistic, generous with her insight and experience, honest, straightforward, professional, and always available. We highly recommend Cathy and would absolutely use her again to buy or sell. She is extremely invested in your happiness and puts her heart into helping you."
