Cate Gao

Cate was the absolute best agent that we worked with. She is very knowledgeable about the housing in Houston's surrounding area. She gave us excellent professional opinions on the pros and cons of the houses that we visited. She was very patient in helping us find the right home. Highly recommend her as a real estate agent and definitely will be back for her service in the future.

We are the first time seller, at the very beginning we chose the wrong agent and it caused the house stuck on market over two months.

Then we switched to Cate, she was very efficient on detailing and remodeling the kitchen, also gave us very helpful advisement on listing price. The house was pending in one week after relisted on market, we were so happy about it! In the title transaction, Cate also professionally negotiated with buyer when we were experiencing the technical difficulty during notary process. We truely appreciate her hard working in the entire process, she is the best!

We are first-time home buyers. We read a lot of online reviews and asked a lot of friends for recommendations. Ms. Gao is going to be the only real estate agent we will work with from now on for the following reasons:
She knows and understands the housing market far beyond what is listed online and MLS comparisons. Her analysis of the house was crucial in our decision-making (and finally getting our dream house)
Ms. Gao is professional and extremely timely in terms of communications. She is very fast getting back to our questions even when we reached out late at night and did not expect a response until the next day. She actively communicated with the seller party on our behalf and we felt involved.
Consistent and quality recommendations saved us a lot of time. My wife and I both hold full-time jobs. We could not take a third job hunting for houses. Buying a house is beyond simply matching the square feet and number of bedrooms/bathrooms. Ms. Gao quickly understood the house we are looking for despite being first-time homebuyers without a clear picture our selves. She was able to help us screen out many houses (that were deal-breakers) and saved us a lot of precious time.
