SELL YOUR HOME WITH CATHY & TEAM CDP

From Left to Right: Sheryl Abelson, Tracy Monaco, Anna Priskie, Cathy Duff-Poritzky,
Amber Thomas, Karen O'Connor, Patricia Wagner

"Today's Consumer Deserves a 5-Star Experience...A Team Approach is Essential For Success"

"Cathy is Phenomenal at what she does. She does whatever it takes, very focused on you,
follows through before you even ask, and makes it happen!!!

So Professional and Focused! Team CDP went above and beyond to get the job done!!"
- Karen P.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Cathy and her team when we sold our home. Cathy is
extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful. She went above and beyond what is normally
expected of a realtor. We highly recommend both Cathy and her team.
- Lynn B.

"Cathy is literally a dynamo, and she delivered on all of her promises. As busy as she is, she also
somehow managed to keep in touch with us continually to address any questions and provide
feedback and updates. She made us feel that we were her most important clients!"
- Tom M.

"We are so happy that we put our trust in Cathy Duff-Poritzky and her team. We literally took every
piece of advice Cathy gave us. We put 100% of our trust in her, and it paid off! We got a great price
and sold our home in a very short time. We can't say enough great things about Cathy and her team.

Listing our home for sale with Cathy was the best decision we could have made!"
- Linda M.
