Testimonials

Catherine Fawley

I was so thrilled to work with Catherine to visit the different Chicago neighborhoods and locate my dream home on the river. I love my new home and I know it was only possible to negotiate such an amazing deal for the condo with the expert guidance of Catherine. She was professional, warm and intuitive about the type of place I needed and walked me through the steps of offer, counter off...

MaryAnn & Phil McDaniel

We had a great experience with Catherine Pendergast. She helped us to sell two properties this past year after we renovated each – a house in Glen Ellyn and a condo in Lisle. Catherine was always extremely responsive and had lots of good ideas that I had not thought of, which was of course, exactly what I wanted, since we had never sold a property before! She is an excellent communi...

Steve Stark

What sets Catherine apart from other Realtors is her commitment to representing her clients best interest, her market knowledge and her tenacity in finding properties that potentially meet her client needs. Based on my experiences with other Realtors, I'm certain that I would have never found the house that I purchased at the price that I paid if it had not been for Catherine's knowle...

The Doohan Family

Many thanks for making what could have been a stressful transaction a highly enjoyable one! You are a talented team that gets results. In one of the worst real estate markets in history, we were amazed that we received two offers on our home and sold it in 12 days!! You both demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism at every stage of the process and tirelessly devoted time an...

Derek Bonney

Catherine was honestly the best realtor I have worked with. Not only did she take the time to get know us personally, she understood our housing needs and went to extreme lengths to help us find the right home. Her market knowledge was a great guide and she was also instrumental in helping us manage the paperwork and closing process since our lifestyles have us on the go all the time...

Tracey Ahern

We are buying our second home in 4 years with Catherine. We wouldn't use anyone else. She has an incredibly deep knowledge of the Naperville, and surrounding areas. She listens intently, intuitively knows what you are looking for and figures out where you need the most help. Home buyers are like students. We all come to the table with different levels of knowledge but Catherine knows whe...

Vanessa Melancon

Catherine is the best realtor I've worked with. Her energy and enthusiasm makes house hunting fun, and she always puts her client's best interests first.

Sridhar Yarramsetti

Catherine is one who can make your dream home come true. I would strongly recommend her as a Realtor. She is very committed to her work, understands the customer's needs, is very transparent, responsive, and is always reachable even at odd times. Once she understands the client's needs, she would show the home exactly what you are looking for. She guided us through the whole process of b...

Mark & Jeanine Meyer

Catherine did a fantastic job for us! She sold our old home very quickly and at a higher asking price than we believed we could get. She also got us a showing at our new home on the same day we called her. Her contacts helped us in all aspects of the sale and purchase. We were extremely happy and would recommend her to any anyone and everyone.

Siva Yarramsetty

Ms. Pendergast helped me in every detail to find right home for my family. I am very pleased with her services. The accurate recommendations she made while home searching were perfect and she did a great job in giving the best offer for the property. The work she presented as far as pictures, descriptions, price, details, etc. were all precise. After her fantastic research and work, I ha...

Deborah & Mike Hermann

Catherine has got to be one of the hardest working agents I have ever met. She knew the homes in our subdivision inside and out which was helpful for providing quality information for prospective buyers. Anything we asked of her she did and did with a smile! Very responsive, honest and open to new ideas.

Lewis & Andrea Pegues

Catherine Pendergast, is the kind of professional, that a seller or buyer needs in any market, but especially in a "difficult market. She arranged more "quality showing", than when we sold, during much better times. She is very professional, and has a high decree of integrity and character! Catherine knows her market very well and has a solid network of support that she utilized to assis...
