Hi, I’m Cathie Spalding—a trusted real estate expert with years of experience helping individuals and families buy, sell, and invest in homes that align with their lifestyle and goals.

The Smart Buyer’s Readiness Guide was created to take the stress and uncertainty out of one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make.

Whether you're a first-time buyer or it's been a while since your last purchase, this guide simplifies the entire readiness process—no jargon, no fluff.

Without it, you might jump in unprepared, miss out on better deals, or worse—make a decision you’re not truly ready for.

With it, you’ll gain clarity, direction, and confidence.

So let’s find out if you’re really ready—and what to do next if you’re not.

WHAT ACTUAL CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT CATHIE...

“Cathie was prompt and professional upon our first meeting. She continued to keep me informed and up to date with all information regarding the upcoming viewings and eventual sale of my house. She always responded quickly to any questions I had. Upon receiving any documents, she would give me a heads up on what to expect and was right there if I needed any assistance. This was truly a blessing to me, as she was helping me from another state. She really made me feel at ease. Outstanding agent and, also, a great friend now. I couldn’t have had a better experience working with her. I would highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs.”

Shelly

Homeowner & Seller

“Cathie is the best! Made the entire experience smooth. We had never owned a home and were afraid of the process. She helped us find everything, from inspectors to home improvement tips. I would recommend her 1000% over. Any first time home buyers who are afraid of where to start or that they won't have a good budget should go to her!”

Alex

First-Time Buyer

“This was an arduous process as we underestimated the improvements required to sell the property. I interviewed three agents to represent me and none of them saw what was needed. I was 1600 miles away during the whole time and Cathie became my eyes, ears and my feet. She lined up contractors, oversaw their work and signed off on the quality of the job. We changed our strategy mid-stream and she executed it beautifully. She kept me informed via emails, texts and phone calls in a timely manner. I could write more but it says it all when I say I would recommend her to anyone trying to sell or buy property.”
