Why Work With Cates Real Estate?

1-10 of 164NextLast

Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:

Poise, personality, perspicacity, and finesse--words not commonly associated with the gravel-and-grit world of real estate transactions. But all those words apply, and apply vigorously, both to Cates Real Estate and to one of its most splendid agents, Natasha Zontini. My wife and I recently struggled to find a building lot during the "hot" Maine real estate market of the pandemic period. We had gone through three or four real estate agents and had come to the point of giving up when, by chance, we discovered Natasha and Cates. We were immediately enraptured by the low-key but high-competence approach taken by these professionals. Whether the refined yet homey and encouraging atmosphere of the Cates office on the main street of with-it Rockland or whether in the secret labyrinths of the real estate world, Cates and Natasha always provided all that we needed. Natasha has an amazing ability to receive a question, go quietly behind-the-scenes, and then reemerge, in a very short time, with convincing and effective answers. Prompt, courteous, friendly, and clever, she never failed to deliver. I would not hesitate to turn to Cates or to Natasha for any realty activity. They are, in a word, the best!

Cates Realty is truly top notch! Over 9 months - from meeting to closing - we worked with Natasha and Martin to find our perfect home in Maine. At every step of the way, you can count on them for honest, candid, transparent, and timely feedback. Their counsel was invaluable, and it was so obvious they weren't trying to push us into a house... but instead help us find the RIGHT house (and we did!). Everything from their geographical expertise to pricing strategies was sound, and invaluable. We cannot recommend them more highly!

As a lender, I had the pleasure of working with Kerry Lee on recent purchase transaction in Maine and the experience was exceptional. Communication is key in real estate transactions, and Kerry Lee excels in this area. She keeps everyone informed and promptly addresses questions that arise, making the home buying process as smooth and transparent as possible. Highly recommend her!

Natasha was incredible throughout our process of looking for a house. From the first time we contacted her to start the search, she was extremely communicative, walked us through all of the different phases of the search, offer, closing, contracting, etc. Natasha is incredibly knowledgeable about what to look for in terms of potential problems or areas of the home that need attention, contextualizing and guiding on how to approach each situation, and in understanding where to go to get additional information or expertise. Natasha is also kind, personable, and able to gauge what each person in our family found most important so she could speak to our needs. I highly recommend working with Natasha Zontini.

We cannot recommend Natasha Zontini enough if you are looking to buy or sell a home. The entire time we worked with Natasha, about a year in total, she never faltered in her professional, kind, and knowledgeable presentation. We even had a completely unprecedented and tragic experience happen while under contract with a house, and she handled the entire situation with such grace and sensitivity while also continuing to work quickly and effectively to remedy the situation. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and the business, and helped to guide us first time home owners through the process and answer our many, many questions. We can honestly say we loved working with Natasha so much and are so happy in our new home! You feel she is invested in helping you find the right home for you, and really cares about what you are looking for. Thank you so much, Natasha!!

Closing was an opportunity to really see how things gets done. The agency went above the call of duty to represent us. We were moved out of state and gave power of attorney to Martin. Handled the closing with ease.Susan was with us all the way. Provided the lead to us selling. Both fair to both buyer and seller.

Susan was great to work with. She is personable, trust worthy, professional and makes sound recommendations. I only had a 2 month contract, due to my not wanting to plow and heat the house during the winter time. She was willing to work with my conditions and was able to sell my house within that time span... in the middle of winter! I felt zero pressure from her, whereas I have been very turned off by the pressure that other realtors have put upon me in the past. I have bought and sold several homes in and out of the state of Maine and I cannot express how pleased and impressed I was throughout this entire process. Working with Susan was by far the best home selling experience yet!
