Cathy Rustin

  • Cathy helped me buy a home

      Catherine was fantastic. My wife and I had some serious issues with our loan officer and the usda. Catherine never gave up. She made sure we were satisfied and handled all the headaches that came our way. We will always recommend her.

    • Catherine was great to work with, if you want a real go getter to get you results, you could not find anyone better! highly recommended... Catherine was very meticulous in getting all the details listed, great advertising and was always available for any questions, concerns or coordinating appointments.

    • Cathy Rustin is a hard working, exceptional Realtor. She has shown us her home she has listed and we thought she did a great job. Her follow up, listening skills, and desire to get the job done are excellent. Her marketing expertise seems to be some of the best I've seen. She was able to sell her home after 4 other agents couldn't. We will use Cathy when we decide to sell our house and will use her in our future purchases. She has a great handle on the local schools, taxes, and neighborhoods. We have worked w several realtors in the past but put Cathy at the top of all of them.

    • Cathy is extremely professional as a business person, as a buyer and seller of real estate and as a marketer of luxury products including real estate. She brings impeccable judgment, business savvy and good common sense to her client interactions. She really knows Sarasota intimately and has a vast professional and personal network to tap into. She's also one of the most customer-responsive people I've worked with. She goes the extra mile and then goes even further!
