She hit the ground running, successfully leveraging her experience as a locator to quickly bring on new accounts for us. Catherine's "super power" is her ability to effectively network within the Austin multifamily landscape but anyone who's worked with her will tell you that's just scratching the surface. She constantly brought energy, passion, empathy, and outstanding organizational skills to the role. While market conditions unfortunately cut her time with us short, I'd highly recommend her for other opportunities in the RE space."

Her energy is infectious and it was the best introduction to Austin.

We clicked right away and she was able to tailor the tour to exactly what I would have picked out for myself. Not to mention we found two properties that are great fits, check all of my boxes and are spot on in my budget." -Facebook Transferee
