Kathy McCauley-Dames has always been very professional and helpful. She's been in the business for a very long time and I strongly recommend her if you are looking for someone to help you find that perfect home.

Kathy is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and incredibly effective Real Estate Broker. We were faced with the challenge of needing to sell a piece of property under some level of financial duress for a family member. Kathy was simply relentless in pursing creative options and alternatives as we navigated obstacle after obstacle. I don't think anyone could have done a better job for us in selling that house in those market conditions. I highly recommend Kathy.
