Cathy has been fantastic to work with.

“
Cathy has been fantastic to work with and I cannot say enough positive things about her. Her level of knowledge, positive attitude, work ethic and responsiveness are all truly outstanding! Being someone from out of town and looking for my first investment property in the Traverse City area, I had a lot of questions which Cathy was able to answer in great detail. She was incredibly flexible throughout the entire process. Cathy worked very hard to find exactly what I wanted and get the deal done. What's truly amazing is how much she helped me develop contacts in the area even after closing. She's really been a life saver and I'm excited to work with her again in the future.”

She made buying from out of state super easy.

My husband and I recently went on the search for a realtor to help us find a house in Traverse City. Fortunately, we found Cathy Bristol through reading the reviews on line. Being from out of state we were concerned about being able to find and secure a property quickly enough in this hot real estate market. Cathy was extremely proactive. She found a number in f properties that fit our criteria. She did video walk through a with us and then helped to negotiate a reasonable due diligence period thy allowed us to travel back to Michigan and do a thorough investigation ( we wanted a fixer so had to know the costs we were getting into). Cathy has helped with everything g from bankers to general contractors. She's been amazing!!”

Her work ethic is second to none.

Cathy Bristol was my Buyers Agent on a home we bought on the Bay, and she was phenomenal! I am a Real Estate agent in Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW). DFW is an extremely busy real estate market and filled with top Agents. Cathy would blow most of top agents away in DFW. She was incredible in all facets of the transaction. She is great at negotiation and protecting your financial assets. Her communication is beyond reproach and I've redefined how I communicate with my clients, based on my experience with Cathy. Her work ethic is second to none. There may be no one better in the Traverse City area Real Estate market at information gathering than Cathy Bristol. Cathy is 5-Stars in every aspect of the rating. One word: Incredible! With Cathy Bristol as your Real Estate Agent in the Traverse City area, you will have the #1 agent protecting your money and putting your family first over and above anything else!”

Best real estate agent I've worked with.

Cheryl and I would like to thank you so much for all that you have done for us in finding the perfect vacant lot for us. I have worked with real estate agents in the past and I can honestly say that you are by far the best ever. From the moment I contacted you with interest in finding a vacant lot for us in the Traverse City area, you listened to what we wanted and worked diligently with us through closing. I really appreciated how available you made yourself in all forms of communication whether by phone, text, email, and even in person. Being we are out of town and 450 miles away in Dayton, OH, the distance was never an issue as we both searched and researched various property types and sizes and locations. You went out of your way and beyond the call of duty because we were not local to the area and we will be forever grateful. Eventually, that perfect lot was found and we feel very fortunate to have you as our realtor. We look forward to seeing you soon and thanking you in person.”

Cathy made the entire experience exciting and positive.
★★★★★
“
As first time home buyers, we were brand new to the real estate market and unsure of even where to begin. Cathy made the entire experience exciting and positive. She took us through numerous properties, helping us to form a clear vision of what we wanted in our first home, coordinating with the property owners and sellers’ agents seamlessly, until we found the ideal setting for our family. From promptly returning phone calls and tirelessly answering questions to carefully drafting paperwork and diligently coordinating with lenders, Cathy’s work was swift and thorough. No matter how busy her day, Cathy treated us like her first priority. Most importantly, Cathy stood firm in protecting our best interests with all of the integrity, strength, character and honesty one would expect in a real estate professional. We continue to utilize Cathy’s expertise as we expand our real estate investments and enthusiastically recommend her to others entering the market.”

Sarah and I couldn’t be happier!

Sarah and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with you while buying our first home. To be honest, it was a little scary making a big commitment like this but throughout the whole process you made us feel comfortable and reassured that we were making the right decision. We could tell right away that you love what you do and there was never a question in our minds about your dedication to your career or to us. I have a lot of friends down state that know we moved up here and a couple of them have already asked about who we went through to buy and I of course give them your name. I feel confident that you will be dedicated to their needs as much as you were to ours. Thank you again and know that you will be our first call whenever we decide to sell or buy again. Take care and we hope to hear from you soon!”

Cathy Bristol genuinely cares about her clients.

“
When our son and his family relocated to Traverse City, they were fortunate to find Cathy Bristol, of Keller Williams, to assist them in their home search. Buying a home long distance is difficult but Cathy listened carefully and in a very efficient manner quickly found them several homes to view that matched their requirements, budget and location. In one day, they found a house that they love and now call home! So a few months later when my husband and I decided to make the move to Traverse City too, we of course called Cathy right away. We were looking for a home near our son and his family and one that would have a designated space for my mother. Again, Cathy hit the mark. After doing extensive searches and not finding a house that met our needs, Cathy suggested that we consider building. She researched contractors and set up meetings and viewings of model homes. Cathy’s work ethic, professionalism and outstanding communication skills really made this process work. She was there with us through each step. We so appreciated her expert knowledge and skillful guidance as we purchased a lot and built our house. Cathy Bristol genuinely cares about her clients and we are so happy to now call her friend. Thank you Cathy!”

Cathy you’re AWESOME!!!

One word sums up my home buying experience with Cathy Bristol… AWESOME!!! I lived in Oklahoma City, OK and had just retired from the federal government. I wanted my retirement home to be in the northwest lower Michigan area. Since I was recently retired and not yet receiving my full annuity I wasn’t certain that I could qualify for a mortgage. There were many homes on the current market that I was interested in and I didn’t want to miss out on a great home. So I did some research on the internet in the hopes of finding a realtor. I made several phone calls to some real estate agents in the Traverse City area interviewing them and addressing my concerns of being retired and trying to qualify for a mortgage. All of them, except Cathy, said that I wouldn’t probably qualify and that it would be best to wait until I was receiving my full annuity. Cathy immediately put me in touch with a local bank. I spoke with the mortgage personnel and I knew within hours that I indeed could qualify for a mortgage loan although I wasn’t receiving my full annuity. The very next day the bank issued a pre-qualification letter stating that I could close within 30 days and I had a great interest rate too. I made arrangements with Cathy for the next week to view some homes that I was interested in. On the second day I found a home and Cathy wrote up the offer that day and submitted it. The next day the offer was accepted and we closed within 30 days Cathy was awesome during the whole process of: scheduling and keeping up on the home inspection, keeping me up to date on where I was in the mortgage process, staying in close contact with the sellers realtor, get answers to my questions from the sellers, catching little errors and getting them resolved. Cathy did most of this while out of town caring for her daughter that just had her grand-baby. Without Cathy’s local and professional relationships my home buying experience couldn’t have gone any better, especially since I lived out of state. Cathy you’re AWESOME!!! I would strongly recommend Cathy Bristol to anyone that wanted to have a wonderful home buying experience.”

I love my new home!
★★★★★
“
I just moved to Traverse City and was extremely happy with the whole purchasing process. Cathy always responded immediately to phone calls or emails and quickly found answers to any questions I had. As an out of town buyer, I was grateful to find an agent who would meet people for inspections and estimates when I couldn’t be there. She was able to work out my closing so I could complete it out of town – saving a long drive back just to sign paperwork. I love my new home, and would highly recommend Cathy as an agent willing to go above and beyond for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Traverse City area.”
