Client Testimonials
"We can't say enough positive things about our experience with Cathy Trifiro and the Realty Austin team. From start to finish our home buying process took well over 6 months, but Cathy was there to guide us all along the way. Cathy immediately picked up on the things that truly mattered to us (backyard, privacy, space to grow), was always willing to meet us at the drop of a dime (all days of the week and times of day), and offered extremely valuable advice navigating the intricacies of the Austin real estate market (foundation issues, low supply, etc.). Most importantly, even as our search dragged on and on, Cathy always had our best interests in mind and helped us remain positive that we would eventually find "the one". When we finally did find our home, Cathy, Martha, and the rest of Realty Austin team helped ensure an extremely smooth close; answering all our questions along the way. Thank you Cathy and team!"

"We believe there are very few exceptional people in any industry... Cathy was an able captain and consistently gave us sound and well thought out advice. She never made decisions for us, she simply made the case and gave us the tools to make clear decisions on our own. The purchase we ultimately made is only our second ever home purchase, but it is the only large dollar purchase we have ever made that we didn’t regret some aspect of."

"We had the joy of working with Cathy and we are in awe of how she went above and beyond for us... In the end, we accepted an offer for a price that was much higher than we initially anticipated, and we have Cathy to thank for that!"

"We are so glad to had the chance to work with Cathy, she took the time to guide us through the whole process and answer every single dumb question we had as first home buyers. She is very responsive, knowledgeable and did an outstanding job representing our financial interests."
- Guillermo Molina, November 2019
"Cathy was absolutely wonderful in helping us upsize when we moved to Austin and in a few years downsize to a smaller place. She was down to earth, knowledgeable and represented us in the most professional manner. She's the best agent in town!"

"I am a real estate attorney with over 30 years of experience. In 2011 I decided to sell my house and got Cathy's name from a trusted friend. Cathy did a thorough analysis of my home's value and recommended some repairs and updates. She also recommended a designer to stage the vacant house. Counting the repairs and staging, this all took about 3 weeks. We put the house on the market in May. WOW! It sold in 3 days for 98% of listed price and at a price above what I thought we could get. Cathy negotiated and followed up well on getting the deal closed. What a great and easy process, even in a somewhat tough market! I enthusiastically recommend Cathy as your Realtor."

"Cathy Trifiro is an AMAZING professional as well as an incredible individual. She possesses all the qualities I look for in a real estate agent. She is dependable and punctual and is incredible with personal relationships. Whenever I need to sell or buy anything in real estate, I DEFINITELY call her. She is attentive and a real go getter when it comes to buying or selling. She is at THE TOP of my list for advice and keeping current with real estate opportunities in Austin and the surrounding areas. I HIGHLY recommend Cathy for any needs you have."
- Lynda Chapman, September 2012
"I had Cathy help me sell my house earlier this year. She helped with the staging and prep, and it was only on the market for a week! I was able to get more out of it than I expected, and I was amazed at how quickly it sold. I attribute that to Cathy's knowledge, diligent research, and her desire to help out her customers. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again."
