Cathy is undoubtedly the best and a top real estate agent whom I'd like to recommend to anyone in Chicago-land area. I've been in the military and I had to PCS quite a bit. When I moved I've used the "USAA Movers Advantage Program" if I needed to buy or sell home. The USAA usually assigns their certified agent from that local area; and so the USAA recommended me Cathy as my agent in Northwest Chicago area. Both my wife and I were very much impressed by her professionalism in the entire process of selling our home. Simply putting Cathy's works in one simple sentence: "Cathy is absolutely professional, knowledgeable, courteous, diligent and punctual in the entire process of selling our home.

Cathy Was very knowledgeable about the process. She always replied to my messages promptly and was excellent if it was necessary to communicate with the call center.
She was also very good at giving advice for staging the condo for sale.
I would recommend her to anyone in need of a Realtor.

We needed a house in a short period of time, we had a baby and a kindergartener at the time, which makes it a little difficult to try to get the simplest things done. Cathy was very patient, professional, kind, and very proactive when it came time to move forward. Since we were new to the area, she was a great resource and very helpful even after we moved in.
She also, helped my inlaws purchase a home in the area too, they had much more time than us and very specific needs, so between our house search and their house search, we spent almost a year working with Cathy. After both houses closed, we were all kind of sad we wouldn't be seeing her all the time, she became part of our family.

Cathy is an accomplished real estate professional. But she is also very much in tune with what the needs of the buyers. She is very thorough and patient, but also very appropriate in her comments about the home being looked at. I very strongly recommend her.

Cathy was very responsive and helpful during our home buying experience. She understood what we needed and what our spending limits were. She made many great suggestions and walked us through each step of the home buying process. I would highly recommend Cathy Barker as an agent to anyone. :)
