Cathy Johnson

"This is our second time working with Cathy to both buy/sell our house (both in tough markets). Cathy is very knowledgeable of the buying/selling process, and she was always looking out for our best interest. She helped guide us through each step of the process, and her great attention to detail has really saved us in multiple situations. Cathy is also a kind, caring individual and is able to connect with everyone she interacts with throughout the process."
Margaret Hansberry (North Andover, MA)

"Cathy was a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Cathy. She was quick in her responses when we wanted to see a property and made sure we truly understood the process. She was more than happy to schedule showings and when it came time to place an offer, she worked with us really closely to ensure everything was submitted in a timely manner. If you're looking for an experienced, professional, knowledgeable realtor we would definitely recommend Cathy."
Kerri Flynn (Billerica, MA)

"Cathy has helped me sell 2 homes in North Andover. She is very professional, knowledgeable and hardworking. She went above and beyond in marketing the property and helping us get ready for the open house. I highly recommend Cathy!!"
krembis3 (North Andover, MA)

"Cathy worked with us as a buyer's agent for over two years during a low inventory period. At every step of the process, she was attentive to our specific needs and kept within the parameters of our search. Cathy remained available and accessible throughout. Her extensive knowledge of the market and her ability to obtain information and documents related to the property, even at short notice, was most helpful. She is professional and her work ethic reflects her commitment to the client. Her accurate assessment of the pros and cons of the property proved useful to our decision making. Her calm persona is an asset in communications with other agents. We highly recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a reliable and committed realtor."

"Cathy was, in a word, extraordinary. In the past 3 months, she helped me sell my dad's condo in Methuen for an excellent price, then separately buy my own house in Newburyport. Both situations were very different, but Cathy was on top of every step of the process and relentless in resolving issues (like seeking and getting an easement when part of a building was discovered to be on a neighbor's property). Remarkably, she always remained calm, professional and positive. I highly recommend Cathy whether you're buying or selling a home. You want her on your team!"
bigrockryebeach (Newburyport, MA)

"Cathy did an outstanding job pricing and showcasing my home for sale. Her experience with the current market conditions were invaluable. She listened to my opinion and was open to a two-way dialogue. Cathy is very easy to talk to and always willing to make herself available for her customer. I would work with Cathy in the future without reservation and suggest to family and friends to do the same."

The sale of our home was such a positive and seamless experience thanks to Cathy. We value Cathy not only as our Realtor but in the end we gained a wonderful friend.
We highly recommend Cathy Johnson to fulfill your Real
Estate needs."
Caroline Castaldo (North Andover, MA)

"Cathy is a highly responsive, extremely thorough and very knowledgeable broker! She followed up promptly to all of our questions. She advocated for us when we reached a sticking point in our negotiations. We considered backing out of the offer. Cathy pushed on and was able to find a very workable compromise for us. She is a very experienced and trustworthy broker!"
Larry and Wendy McCarthy (Needham Heights, MA)

"Cathy Johnson was professional, helpful and extremely competent with her assistance in helping me to sell my condominium. She helped me plan and execute all the steps that needed to be done during the entire process, from our introductory meeting to her contacting me as soon as the deed had been recorded after the closing. She was a valuable resource for everything and everyone I needed, from a closing attorney, a moving company, a photographer, an installation and inspection for a new smoke detector, to a cleaning company to help prepare my condo for the new owner. She spent a great deal of time going over all the paperwork with me that I needed to complete, guiding me through it. Throughout the entire process she was a patient and thorough. I felt completely sure that everything was being handled efficiently and accurately. I cannot say enough good things about Cathy and I would recommend her to anyone who is planning to sell their home or purchase a new home."
cweston cagl (North Andover, MA)

"I was a nervous first time buyer, who felt overwhelmed navigating the expensive North Shore market on my own. I was looking for homes that all needed a little bit of love and care due to my price range. This provided a level of uncertainty for me, if I was making the right choice when there felt like so many factors to consider. Cathy's experience and patience allowed her to quickly provide concise rationale to help mitigate my fears and provide clarity to someone with no experience. Cathy took the time to listen, read my body language/texts/emails, and provide understandable context on each aspect of the home. Her kindness, expertise, and thoroughness, gave me the confidence in my first purchase, that I absolutely love. I couldn't have asked for a better experience in any facet of my first home buying experience. It was a huge decision in my life and I can't thank you enough for helping me! Thanks Cathy!!!"
Ryan Harding (Beverly, MA)

"Cathy Johnson was an absolute miracle worker. Her years of experience came in handy with the sale if my home. My property was somewhat unique and would really appeal to some, not all. But she marketed in all ways she could to attract the right buyer. After my first offer that I had accepted fell through, she immediately had a back up offer that went through without a hitch. She had researched every aspect of the transaction to make sure it was a successful one. I was not in the state during all of this so she stepped in and handled things on my behalf. She is ready to go the extra mile!"
zuser20170719124629319 (Ipswich, MA)

"Cathy Johnson is hands down the best real estate agent that I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. I've had multiple real estate transactions over the years and Cathy out did them all. A consummate professional at the top of her class. I would strongly recommend her to others and I would seek her out in any future transactions...thank you Cathy for all of your assistance."
antiques europa65 (Ipswich, MA)

"This is the 2nd home that Cathy sold for us and I can't say enough about how wonderful she is to work with. From the first meeting to closing, all questions answered timely, explained well and just super easy to work with. I would recommend Cathy 100% for your real estate needs."
zuser20140528121332967 (Methuen, MA)

"We haven?t even considered using any realtor but Cathy since we met her representing the seller of the condo I was buying (my first home) in 2008. She has since helped my husband and I, and also a number of extended family members, with multiple property sales, purchases, and rentals. Cathy?s warmth, energy, knowledge, and dedication are apparent in every interaction and communication. Most recently, Cathy helped us purchase a property in need of extensive rehabilitation. She reviewed town records pertaining to the property, helped us decide on a fair but competitive offer, and supported us through time-sensitive negotiations with the seller. While we know for certain she has other clients, Cathy?s attention and responsiveness has always made us feel like her only focus."
ialapsa (Boxford, MA)

"When the time was right to sell our home we knew many years ago that we would use Cathy as our Real Estate Professional. We were not disappointed. She walked us through the process step by step. When we had questions she was always there to help answer a question or just text us to see how we were doing. When there was even a slight issue she was always on top of it. You cannot go wrong with Cathy as your Real Estate Professional."
gmac1263 (North Andover, MA)

"Cathy Johnson came to us on the recommendations of friends and former clients who praised her expertise and character.

We needed to sell our house and coordinate a move to another state. Cathy was able to help us every step of the way. She was always available when we had questions. She saved us from lots of anxiety connected with selling a house. She showed genuine concern for her clients.

We are pleased that our house sold quickly and for a good price.

If you are looking for a capable realtor who will look out for your interests, you need to get in touch with Cathy."
jchsia (Andover, MA)

"Cathy was a pleasure to work with. From start to finish she was there through one of the hottest markets in the country. I purchased a small condo and Cathy treated me with the same respect as buying a single family home. She is responsive, dedicated and more importantly passionate about what she does. I highly reccomend her services when finding a new home. Thank You Cathy!"
ikea14 (Salem, MA)

"Cathy is exceptional. She is professional, knowledgeable, sharp, and a pleasure to work with. She impressed us immediately with her deep knowledge of the history and details of the building of our condominium.

She knew the market very well and expertly guided us as to our options. She has a vast network of resources, and provided us with a reference for a painter and an attorney for closing. She kept us up to date on every milestone and told us what to expect at each step.

Thanks to Cathy's expertise, we had multiple competitive offers. Cathy's calm and matter-of-fact style gave us confidence and helped us navigate through the process. We highly recommend Cathy. She is one of the best realtors, if not the best, that we have worked with over the years."
lindadcasey (Andover, MA)

"Cathy helped us make a move from California back to Massachusetts and find our new home. She was incredible to work with throughout the entire process and in the end, she felt like part of the family. We started our search from CA and Cathy was always willing to give us FaceTime tours and spend lots of time talking through the area, neighborhood etc. It was super helpful to have that input being so far away. Cathy helped us navigate a competitive bidding process and always pushed for what was best for us. Her insight and expertise really helped us feel confident in our decisions. We ended up finding a great home, but the negotiation was complex. Cathy navigated difficult conversations professionally while keeping our best interest in mind. She really helped make it a reality and we are so thrilled with where we ended up. Cathy keeps in touch and has been helpful pointing us in the right direction for help with the house even after we closed. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to move to the area!"
user0122595 (North Andover, MA)

"We were initially referred to Cathy by a friend 7 years ago after we had a bad experience with another realtor trying to sell a property. Cathy grabbed the bull by the horns and sold the property after having one open house. She closed the deal on that and helped us find our next house. In fall 2021, we had outgrown our home. We called Cathy and she responded instantly and came over within a few days to help us get the home listed. We sold the home after a few showings and Cathy was very patient throughout the close of the deal and made sure she put her clients first. She also helped us find our forever home the we recently closed on. I HIGHLY recommend Cathy Johnson as a trusted Real Estate agent and will definitely use her again if needed!!!"
user8284273 (Peabody, MA)

"I hired Cathy to sell my condo. She was exceptional to work with. She is very professional and knowledgeable which made the sale of my condo go very smoothly. She was very responsive to phone calls and handled all the paperwork and inspections for me. She went above and beyond in her attention to detail. She was so helpful in her suggestions to get the condo ready to put on the market. With her guidance I had a full price offer within days. I highly recommend Cathy to friends and family who are looking to work with a compassionate and professional realtor."
armstrongsuzanne2 (North Andover, MA)

"Cathy was great from beginning to end. So glad to have chosen Cathy to work with us. Couldn't have made a better choice. When there were some minor issues Cathy was knowledgeable and a great resource to draw on. Ultimately was one of the nicest closings I've attended. Everything was first rate."
Coyne89 (North Andover, MA)

"I've sold my condo with Cathy's help. She has been beyond reproach throughout -- helpful, knowledgeable, responsive, and proactive. Working with Cathy has been an absolute pleasure."
victor6539 (Methuen, MA)

"Cathy is a wonderful person. In few meets, she felt like a family member. Very knowledgeable, professional and always available (24/7). We bought our first home with Cathy. This was a new construction and we ran into many issues from the seller side. Cathy advocated on our behalf and pushed really hard to make sure everything is delivered on time, to our satisfaction. Great customer obsession. I would highly recommend working with her to anyone."
zuser20150412162010800 (Woburn, MA)

"Cathy was wonderful. She helped identify a great place and then worked with us every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable and promptly answered all questions. She made the buying process a smooth and pleasant experience. Cathy is a true professional."
dboland3 (Andover, MA)

"I am very pleased with the service provided by Cathy. She was very helpful from the day one, always responsive and kept us informed throughout. She made the whole selling process smooth and easy. I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone looking to sell or buy home."
Aboobacker Thanikkal (North Andover, MA)

"As first time home buyers, we found Cathy through Coldwell Banker reviews. From the first interaction we had with her, she was very responsive and willing to immediately start helping us with our home search. She knew the areas we were interested in like the back of her hand, and managed to help us narrow our search down to a few neighborhoods. Given the current state of the housing market in Massachusetts, combined with us being first time home buyers, Cathy was patient and helpful with providing us detailed answers to all of our ridiculous questions. Once our offer was accepted, the continual follow ups and check-ins between offer acceptance and closing was very helpful to make sure that we were on track to close. We cannot thank Cathy enough for the help she provided us with the home buying process, and cannot recommend her services enough as an agent for first time home buyers in the greater Merrimack Valley Region. We definitely would do business with Cathy again!"
jdtukianen (Billerica, MA)

"Cathy recently listed my townhouse for sale. She presented a comprehensive proposal that included knowledge of my area and comparable units sold. When it came time to list my property, she
re-evaluated the pricing, which worked nicely in my favor. She handled an Open House beautifully, eliminating stress for me. Negotiations were handled respectfully. I was able to contact her at any time, all hours of the day. I could not have been more pleased with the experience and stress-free sale and closing on my townhouse!"
user5098617 (Haverhill, MA)

"We were a very difficult case for Cathy as we initiated the home purchase while living abroad in Germany. We were unable to make a trip back due to COVID related travel restrictions so all initial communications were done while we were abroad.

For sure this was a lot of extra work for Cathy and we are very grateful for her responsiveness, professionalism, local network knowledge, and tenacity towards finding a home that would work for our family.

In the end, we were able to find a wonderful home in the perfect location, and we are extremely grateful as Cathy extended unwavering support for a very challenging international relocation and home purchase."
santillimike (North Andover, MA)

"Cathy was recommended to us from another realtor. We needed someone who would be responsive, proactive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with as we would be selling and purchasing a home from abroad. I can not say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Cathy. Truly a professional who really gets to know her clients and is a pleasure to work with. She was extremely responsive with all questions and was a great advocate for us when we purchased our home. We feel so fortunate to have been able to work with her!"
laurenk0928 (Sharon, MA)

"I'm a professional organizer and move manager, and I met Cathy after a family in Reading, MA, hired me to help them declutter, pack, and get their house staged and ready to list. Cathy was their listing agent, so I called her to learn her timeline and how she wanted the house to look for the photographer and showings.

She immediately impressed me with her knowledge of the current market, her appreciation for all of the factors that go into making a house competitive, and her forthcoming and friendly personality.

We collaborated on the project and she kept me up to date throughout the sales process, stopping by while I was working and even texting me to celebrate when she scheduled over 75 appointments the day after listing the home...which was all it took because she had plenty of solid offers that weekend.

Cathy understands that bringing in help to declutter, depersonalize, and stage can deliver a great return on investment, and she is a sharp and savvy yet down-to-earth professional. I'm looking forward to collaborating with her in the future to help clients sell homes faster and get the best offers possible."
Lisa Linard, Organizer & Move Manager (North Reading, MA)

"My daughter had used Cathy Johnson in two previous real estate transactions and she highly recommended Cathy when I needed to sell my mother's home. I was not disappointed. Cathy was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable from start to finish. She was great at keeping in touch with me and quickly responded to phone calls, emails and texts. The sale went through quickly without any issues. Cathy far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a real estate agent."
suemaslowski (Dracut, MA)

"We wanted to buy our first home and had 100s of questions throughout the process, we were lucky to find Cathy who not only helped us find our new home but also helped us understand the entire process and put all our worries, anxieties to an end. Not only that, she has always been a great support even post-closing. She is very detail oriented, thorough with her work, knowledgeable, experienced, calm and patient with her clients, thoughtful for her clients, empathetic and friendly. I would recommend her 100%."
shibenster (Tewksbury, MA)

"I had never met or had any dealings with Cathy prior to retaining her as my broker. I found her online and decided to use her based on her impressive reviews and after talking to her. Cathy is outstanding! She is professional, responsive, knowledgeable and, most importantly in my mind, very easy going and accommodating. I had to sell my parents condo as the Personal Representative of their estates and while i didn?t live that far away, I was not that familiar with the area. She provided invaluable references for movers, trash removal and appraisers. She was willing to accommodate my schedule and even offered to travel to NH when we had difficulty obtaining original documents needed for the closing. I don?t know of any broker who would do that and I can?t say enough about her and recommend her without qualification."
mkcallahan247 (Andover, MA)

"We hired Cathy to sell my 92 year old mother's condo. She guided us through the process at every turn and was very patient answering all the questions that my mom and I had. She listened to us but also gave us her opinion based upon her years of experience. She was so easy to work with and professional all the way. She kept us in the loop from the beginning to end and was just the most responsive person I've ever worked with. She took on our tasks s to help move things along. Fixed problems along the way on her own. I can't say enough about how happy we were with her. Our condo was under contract in less than 24 hours and closed in 30 days and we could not have done it without her. Hands down the hardest working broker I've ever worked with - this was our 10th real estate transaction."
