The keys to success for veteran agent Catherine Ross are simple: listen to your clients, understand what they need, know the market and play fair.
That collaborative approach has served her well in her 20-plus years in real estate. The Chairman’s Circle Gold and Leading Edge winner has demonstrated proven success—through the highs and lows of the East End market—partnering with well over 100 satisfied clients to secure their dream homes.
The bulk of her business is built on referrals, Catherine said, because of her unique ability to clearly define her clients’ objectives. She’s a straight shooter who is aware of the importance of budget and value parameters and loves being able to match buyers with the perfect properties and sellers with the best prospective new owners.
For the seasoned agent with the sterling reputation, it’s not about getting the biggest commission, but helping her clients achieve their dreams.
“Plain and simple, I care,” she said.
Catherine discovered the East End more than three decades ago when she and a friend visited Sag Harbor. She fell in love with the area, buying property in Sagaponack opposite a 33-acre pond, which she has called home for the past 30 years. In her downtime, she enjoys cooking, boating on the Sound and working in her studio.
