Catherine went above and beyond at ever turn in the process!! She responded quickly to all my questions (and I had a lot of them)! We needed a lot of local help to find out about inspections and permitting and she was able to connect us to all the right people so we could make an informed decision. I would recommend Catherine to anyone who needed a realtor in the area!! She was awesome!!!

Catherine represented me as my agent in the purchase of a home in Kill Devil Hills (Colington) which closed on 9-21-18. If you want a professional to help you who knows the market in all areas of the Outer Banks and who will help you from all perspectives of buying a house from beginning to end including her network of inspectors mortgage bankers, surveyors, lawyers, home repair, etc...Catherine is the one. She is extremely responsive and charming to work with. Geoffrey Grisham

Catherine contacted listing agents, rental companies, and contractors gathering information for us to make an informed decision. She was always available in short notice to discuss options. I would recommend her.

Catherine was very helpful throughout the buying process as well as afterwards! She coordinated all aspects of the purchase, including an inspection that turned up a very costly problem, but thanks to her negotiation skills the seller paid for the entire repair! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to a buyer or seller that wants an agent willing to truly represent their best interests.

Catherine Brown Strachan was our real estate agent for purchasing our beach vacation home in Duck NC in Winter/Spring 2016. She was absolutely outstanding in all the areas that are critical for an agent to help:1. Search strategies: she was able to get us to articulate what our beach home vision was to make her search more effective. We were all over the map at first because we hadn't thought this process of goal setting at first, however Catherine successfully got us to focus our priorities.2. Effective technology usage: She was able to use MLS and her company's own proprietary system and other resources to help the search become more efficient based on our needs.3. Access: We made three visits to the Duck area and saw probably 40 to 50 homes in total and Catherine was tireless. She clearly went above and beyond what we've experienced with other realtors and was clearly committed to helping us realize our goal.4. Real estate knowledge: she knew the pitfalls of the real estate local industry and what to watch out for throughout the whole process; from searching, to offering, to inspections, to closing. Her CMA analysis of several properties was spot on to what we were thinking as well.5. Supporting/ancillary recommendations: She made great recommendations in the supporting companies to work with them and we had good service from closing attorney, mortgage broker, insurance broker. At the end of the process we felt she was the best realtor we've ever worked with and she was instrumental in getting us through the process of finding a dream beach home for a reasonable price in record time. We would highly, highly recommend her for anyone looking for a home in the Outer Banks area.

We became aware of Catherine from an online search for our dream beach home in the Outer Banks. We are from Pennsylvania and will be moving to NC for our retirement in 2016. Catherine began by getting to know us and sending us frequent home options. When we traveled to NC for vacations she arranged for home visits. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything necessary to buy a second home while living in another state. She referred us to excellent resources from lawyers, mortgage companies, appraisers, inspectors, banks, even where to buy furniture, where to eat and who can mow our grass! She was available to us 24 hours a day and seven days a week. She assisted us in every step of the home buying process as this was our first home buying experience. She was our communication with the sellers and she gave us sound advice. I would highly recommend her. She found us our dream home and continues now as a friend and neighbor. She facilitated everything even including our three sons in visiting the property. We are continuing to work with her to purchase an additional piece of ground attached to the home. She is a professional realtor with family values!
