More about Cathleen O'hannigan

A transplant from San Diego, California, I have called Raleigh, North Carolina “home” for over 7 years. As a wife and mother of two with over three decades of experience in the real estate field and a diverse background including training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, I think I bring a level of experience and instinct to my role as a real estate broker, possessed by few. Having had professional theatre arts training, I feel that I have perfected the art of LISTENING, which is a key component in finding buyers their perfect home and marketing seller’s homes for the greatest possible selling price. I pride myself in being able to place myself in others’ shoes and see their needs and expectations from their point of view. I’ve had the experience of making 6 moves in a fairly short amount of time, and I know how stressful the relocation and home buying/selling process ...

Cathleen O'hannigan

  • Cathleen listed and sold my home

      Cathleen did a complete and thorough job as my agent. She deserves the highest rating possible and I recommend anyone looking for an agent should contact Cathleen. She sold my house in one day and she handled all of the logistics when putting my house on the market. She also represented me when we built our new home as well.

    • Cathleen listed and sold my home

        Cathleen is a great Broker. She did an amazing job getting our home ready for sale, she's very professional & thorough, she staged our home to perfection and goes way beyond the call of duty. She designed a marketing plan specifically for our home and it worked (we got multiple offers in 2 days). Whether you are buying or selling, Hire Cathleen! -Javier and Meralis Bile

      • Cathleen producers two strong offers in a very short period of time. She is a terrific communicator & always accessible. We highly recommend Cathleen to anyone looking to sell their home. As Buyers, Cathleen found us our dream home before it was on the market, guided us well through a multiple offer situation & managed to negotiate a sales price for $10,000 less than another offer! Cathleen represented us extremely well. Anyone working with Cathleen is in good hands.

        - LJ and Sondra Hepp, Cary
      • Cathleen is a professional, smart, savvy, and extremely knowledgeable about the market. She not only found us our current home, but also sold our old home in record time! THANK YOU Cathleen for helping us navigate our way through the ups and downs of both buying and selling a home!

        - Gail Harris, Apex and Willow Spring
      • We have worked with many realtors through many moves and by far Cathleen met our needs and supported our every call without hesitation. She was always available, educated us about our options, and worked diligently with challenging obstacles until they were resolved. I think Cathleen will listen, research, and coordinate your real estate transaction with true professionalism. Cathleen is dedicated to getting the results you hope for in your real estate transaction!

        - Bob Hartman, Apex
      • Cathleen has spoiled us for any other realtor. She was always looking for any edge she could find to sell our house. Cathleen is the best realtor I ever worked with, and I have worked with between 50-75 realtors when selling employee houses for my company, in addition to the 7 houses I have bought and sold for myself. Her assistance in finding quality, reasonably priced contractors to do repairs to our house was absolutely priceless. Cathleen is the first realtor that earned every penny.

        - Gail Lundeen, Cary
      • Cathleen is very experienced and she will guide you through each step of the process. Even when houses around our neighborhood had been on the market (with other Realtors) for quite some while, with the tips and advice of Cathleen, we staged our house, listed it and were under contract for full price in 3 days. Cathleen will not stop until the job is done. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone.

        - Yogi Sunrider, Cary
      • With a family moving to Raleigh from Chicago, Cathleen was a tremendous help in finding our home with a minimum of tie. I would greatly recommend Cathleen!

        - Debbie Reicher, Raleigh
      • Being unfamiliar with the area, Cathleens knowledge and expertise were exactly what we wanted in understanding the real estate market in Raleigh and the surrounding area, the advantages of the different communities in the area, specific details of many of the houses for sale, and all those factors important in limiting and finding the right house for our situation. Cathleens honesty, determination, and dedication to our needs along with her wonderful personality made her the perfect Realtorno, more than that, the perfect person for us.We have purchased property in several other states and have used a number of realtors over the years, some being close friends of ours. We can say without a doubt, that Cathleen is far and away the very best Realtor we have EVER worked with. I hesitate to even call her just a Realtor. She went so far beyond the job description that we cannot begin to thank her enough. She worked so hard to find us just the place we wanted next to campus and made her schedule fit ours for showing us property, regardless of the day or hours. She didnt stop thereAfter the purchase, Cathleen was even more helpful, finding ups appliances, handymen, plumbers, heating and air conditioning companies, quality small time repair contractors, places to eat, places to go, things to do for us out of towners, advertised our place for rent, interviewed renters for us, made keys, helped with rental contractsYou name itAnd even moved in our appliances after buying them for us. She is absolutely the very best. She has even helped us rent the house out a second time. What an amazing lady. In my opinion, you will only have less than the best if you use someone other than Cathleen as your Realtor.

      • As first time home-buyers, my wife and I had a lot of questions and wanted help throughout the process of looking for a home to buy. Cathleen let things move at our pace and shared her experience and knowledge with us as we asked for advice. She is an extremely thoughtful and hardworking broker, who went above and beyond the call of duty to find us the house we wanted, get us a good deal, and make the whole process pleasant and smooth. I couldnt have asked for a better agent, and would highly recommend Cathleen to anyone looking to buy a home.Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity

        - Josh and Shannon, Apex
      • If you are in the process of vetting agents to sell you home, I know it's extremely important to have the very best agent who:1) will be honest 2) has integrity3) actually has interest in selling your home NOT JUST LISTING IT4) will be fierce in protecting your interest5) is extremely proficient at dealing with buyer agents and the ridiculousness of their behavior6) places their heart and soul into insuring top dollar7) can act like a counselor to help ease your anxiousness during the process8) has access to some of the best workmen to address things that might need fixing in the house9) is very responsive Honestly I could go on and on. Cathleen was all the above and more for me. I, too, interviewed a number of realtors over a period of months. I felt like most of them said the right things but were not really interested nor capable of all the above. Most just seem to care about the listing. I would and will absolutely recommend Cathleen to anyone who asks. She helped me prepare my home prior to listing, had a stager come in, and upon occasion assisted me personally. My home went into MLS on a Friday. Cathleen held an open house on Saturday and my home had 3 offers within 4 hours-2 over asking. This was mostly due to the extensive pre-marketing she does to target the right buyers before the home hits the market.I was exuberant with her skills all the way around.

      • Cathleen sold my home in Cary and has also assisted me in purchasing a new home in Pittsboro.On my current home that she sold, she provided me with all necessary ideas to get top dollar for my home and to get it sold in the quickest amount of time. She had excellent buyers eyes and knew exactly what would be key in selling my home. She used her unique marketing strategies to have a record number of buyers at the Open House on the first day on the market. As a result of her professional advice, my home sold at FULL asking price with multiple offers the second day on the market and is now the highest dollar per square foot in the entire neighborhood! She got top dollar for my home which was over $15,000 more than what I initially thought it was worth. She has set the record in our neighborhoodwhich will help you and everyone else! She really has a sincere interest in helping everyone here.In purchasing my new home, her superior negotiating skills and market analysis strategies saved me $15,000 in negotiating with the builder. I would never have been able to step up to that particular home without her incredible skills.I have purchased and sold 4 other homes all over the country prior to Cathleen becoming my real estate agent. By far, she has been the very best and most effective real estate agent I have ever worked with. She will also sell my future homes when that time arrives. She is a superior real estate agent and has saved me more than $30,000 as I have noted above. I highly recommend her!
