"Cathy Hawkins is a fantastic realtor! She is an excellent communicator and brings integrity, professionalism and her extensive real estate experience to every transaction. Cathy truly cares about her clients and it shows! She always keeps you in the loop and works hard to ensure she understands exactly what you are looking for. We have worked together on a number of transactions, both buying and selling property over the past 5 years. When selling a property, she does extensive market research to ensure your list price is within market, gives great advice on things that might enhance the showings and works very cooperatively with potential purchasers and their realtors. When buying a property, she makes sure that she understands exactly what you are looking for and the price range. I wouldn’t think about working with any other Realtor. Thanks Cathy!!" - Kathleen

"Cathy Hawkins provided me with an great experience. As a first time home buyer I did not know where to begin with the process. She met me for coffee when I first reached out to her and provided me with all the answers to the questions I didn't even know to ask. She was readily available by phone, email, and text to answer my questions a long the way. She understood that the market in the area moves fast and was able to set me up with showings at all times of day as my work schedule can be sporadic. During showings she was very thorough at looking beyond the aesthetics and pointed out details that she wanted to make sure I was aware of before I made an offer. Cathy sent me a listing for a beautiful home that was under my budget in the perfect location and I was able to see the home, make an offer, and get my offer accepted in less than 48hrs! After my offer was accepted she continued to work diligently to make sure I had thorough inspections. Cathy truly made my first time home buying experience a wonderful, easy process and I am loving settling into my new place!"

"Cathy recently facilitated the purchase of a home for my wife and me acting as our buyer’s agent. We met her at a place that was listed by Cathy’s agency. We were concerned about her acting as a dual agent. She went out of her way to assure us that she was concerned about us, not just making the sale. My wife and I moved on to look at other properties, continuing to use Cathy as our agent. I found Cathy to be very responsive to any questions we posed to her. She schooled us about every phase of the buying process, offering many helpful tips that we had not thought of. She worked with the complete absence of any pressure, giving us the impression that she was concerned only for us and our needs. When we did get to the point of making an offer, she offered many helpful tips regarding how we could make our offer attractive to the seller. Prior to meeting Cathy, we had some experience with other real estate agents. We found Cathy to be unlike other agents we have encountered. Cathy made us feel as though we were her only client. She seemed to go out if her way to make sure that our experience was one of complete satisfaction. I highly endorse Cathy as a very competent and professional agent."

"This is one of the easiest and most enjoyable reviews I have ever had the pleasure to share. Cathy Hawkins has helped us sell and purchase four homes, the last one being an acreage. When selling our homes Cathy was extremely knowledgeable about what our homes were valued at when listing and surpassed our expectations in the time and effort she put forth promoting them. She was always patient and extremely helpful in answering all of our questions about getting the home ready for showings. When purchasing a new home she was very helpful in choosing a good location and directing our attention to potential money we would have to spend after purchasing the house. Cathy found the perfect acreage for us taking location, price and size into consideration. Cathy is the only realtor we would ever use and would highly recommend her to anyone and have numerous times. A true gem and a very classy lady. A definite 10 out of 10!!!!!" - Roy

"While growing up in the beautiful neighbourhood of Strathearn, my sister and I would occasionally hear our parents mention the name Cathy Hawkins. At a very young age we learned that Cathy was the person responsible for so much of our happiness as she had gone to great lengths to get my parents into their dream home. Cathy's name would come up every year around Christmas time because that is when we would receive her calendar for the New Year. Each year, when we would flip through the new calendar, my parents would remind us of how exceptional Cathy was to deal with and how she did everything she could to find our parents the perfect home. This left an indelible impression. Such was the impression left by Cathy that when the time came for me to begin searching for a house of my own I did not have to search for a realtor ... all I had to do was reach out to Cathy. She kindly responded to my email in about three minutes and within a few days we were meeting at a house for a viewing. After a fairly extensive search, Cathy found exactly what I was looking for in the perfect area. Cathy made what many would perceive as a long, agonizing process seem very straightforward. She is a consummate professional and clearly loves her chosen vocation. Cathy is kind, caring, meticulous, attentive, patient and precise. She embodies all of the qualities and attributes you would hope to find in a realtor, and then some. It has been a privilege working with Cathy." - David

About Cathy
Cathy is a seasoned REALTOR and attended both Penn State University and Old Dominion University. Very detail-oriented, she works tirelessly to help her clients move to their next stage in life, while keeping their best interest at the forefront. She is committed to providing her clients with an exceptional and genuine experience in every way. 

Hard-working, caring, and dedicated, Cathy Hawkins is committed to building strong and lasting relationships with her clients that extend beyond the transaction. She has a true interest in people, and brings an extraordinary experience to every client relationship. Known as “the Poised Agent,” she puts her clients at ease during the process of buying or selling one of their biggest investments. She communicates in a way and on a schedule that works best for her client. A well-prepared market analysis is also very important to Cathy and she says, “I research and look for possible red flags in the home that may affect the resale value, or things that could potentially take away from the buyer’s enjoyment of the home.” Along with a stellar track record of being a skilled negotiator, she is always diligent when explaining purchase or sales agreements; being sure they are concise and correct. With a concierge-like service, she will arrange inspections and accompany the client on them as well. “My goal is to ensure that every need is met from start to finish,” she says.

Prior to real estate, Cathy worked for both AT&T and a medical office handling insurance where she built a 15-year foundation in client care, as well as attention to detail with contracts.

Living in Clayton since 2005, she is never at a loss for things to do. Whether it’s going to a park, walking trail, shopping, or special event, it’s never far away from her home. “We always look forward to going out to one of the amazing, local restaurants or breweries and meeting our friends. We also love trips to the NC mountains and beaches,” Cathy says. She and her husband have two daughters. One is a dental hygienist and the other is attending school in AZ to become a Naturopathic Doctor. In 2022, Cathy and her husband also became grandparents! Cathy has five sisters and one brother. One of her sister’s, Colleen, is also a real estate agent on the team. When not helping someone find their perfect home, she enjoys listening to music, going to the beach, and anything that involves spending time with family and friends.

Cathy grew up near Philadelphia, in Glen Mills, PA, making her an exceptional resource for anyone relocating from the northeast. She says, “Growing up, I always loved the snow. I appreciate its beauty and sometimes miss it, but nothing compares to the amazing weather we have in North Carolina.” She has also lived in Northern Virginia and the Atlanta area. These moves have helped her understand the challenges of relocating.

Always giving back to the community, Cathy has enjoyed volunteering her time with a local food pantry, her church as a youth leader, and Meals on Wheels. She also participates in the “Compass Cares” program, which supports meaningful causes in our local community.
