Customer Testimonials:

Cathy Furtado epitomizes real estate professionalism. I have had the privilege to work with Cathy on both the selling and buying aspects of the real estate business. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, conscientious, patient, and thorough in completing transactions. Each time I met with Cathy, she greeted me with a warm smile, made me feel comfortable, and answered all my questions without my feeling rushed.

When I listed my home with Cathy to sell, she meticulously assisted me in completing the listing agreement. She immediately posted her professional signs strategically in front of my home, hired a professional photographer/videographer to complementary portray the house to prospective buyers, organized an open house to showcase my home to real estate brokers in neighboring offices, and arranged an attractive, welcoming open house for prospective buyers.

Cathy represented me when a recently purchased a new home. She flawlessly arranged all the details of the closing. This enabled the transaction to be smoothly executed.

I would happily recommend Cathy Furtado to any customer seeking professional real estate assistance in buying and/or selling property.

Cathy Furtado has handled all of our real estate transactions on both sides (buying and selling) and has never been anything but the utmost professional. She goes above and beyond, creating pamphlets, having the property video taped for online viewing and making suggestions. She is available all the time and in general does everything possible to either market the property you are selling or searching for the right property to fit your needs. There is no other realtor we would ever use and have suggested Cathy to many people, knowing she will not disappoint.

Cathy Furtado was recommended to us as the best realtor in Newport. Over a period of two years she sold two houses for us, each in short time. Cathy priced the houses right and is organized and keeps the process moving. Closings went very smoothly even with the usual last minute details. We highly recommend her as she was recommended to us, you won't be disappointed!

Cathy Furtado has handled several real estate transactions for us personally and for family members.

When Dennis' father had to leave his home in Berwyn, Illinois, Cathy found a ReMax agent that was experienced in the area. Dennis' father's home sold in two days of listing it.

Our son found a job in Florida and had to sell his home in Newton, MA. Again we turned to Cathy and again she found us the perfect ReMax agent to handle our son's sale. He had five showings and received five offers. This was in 2006, and not the best time to sell real estate.

Personally, she helped us find the perfect condo in Middletown, RI when we decided it was time to downsize. She also listed our home and counseled us into the right price to list. Everyone thinks their home is worth more than it is in the market. She gave us comparisons to look at and even had it appraised. We agreed with her selling price and sold it in five days! Cathy Furtado is a true professional real estate agent and we recommend her unconditionally.

We Recently purchased our home with Cathy. Since we were new to the neighborhood, we desperately needed a good realtor. Our loan officer immediately recommended Cathy. This purchase is our forth purchase. We can honestly say Cathy exceeded all our expectations. Because we have had some experience in purchasing houses, we don't want someone who is more focused on "making a sale". We need someone who can be honest and not afraid of telling us items of concern. We need a local knowledge guide to help us navigate through the peculiarities of Newport. Cathy soon earns our trust. She spends time bringing use up to speed. She helps us in ways that suit our exact needs. If it's a small house, she won't embellish it as "cozy" or a "good starter home". If it's an older house, she won't say it has "historical charm". She gives the facts to us straight and lets us form our own opinion. There is no pressure and we certainly do not feel any kind of sale's pitch. Her gentle personality and sincere honesty immediately make us feel comfortable working with her. We highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to buy a house in Newport. Her resident knowledge will be tremendous help for locals and newcomers alike.

Sue and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for helping us find our first home. We both keep looking around the house thinking about how happy and lucky we are to have the perfect home for our family, and we have you and all of your amazing counterparts to thank. Your experience and expertise made the process virtually seamless. We have heard from many friends about how arduous the house buying ordeal was for them, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything you did to see to it that we didn't have to endure the same things. You helped to steer us in the right direction more times than I can count, while at the same time always making sure our best interest and desires were in the forefront of each decision. Gracie is so excited to go to the yellow house every day, and we are so excited to bring the next one home for the first time. I can't imagine that we will be dabbling in the real estate market again anytime soon, but if/when we do you will certainly be the first person I call. Moreover, I will go out of my way to recommend you to anyone who will listen. Thank you again for everything.
