Catherine M. NoonanQuestion & Answer
What is your favorite thing about Richmond?
I moved to Richmond in 1986 and from Day One, I found it to
be a place that had such a strong community spirit. There are
SO many great restaurants and interesting parts of town from
Carytown to Northside and to the Far West End and the
beautiful rural parts of Hanover and Chesterfield; while not as
cold in the winter as in Connecticut. I enjoy the four seasons.
What initially drew you to real estate?
I felt that real estate would be a good fit for me because I
enjoy helping people. One of my strengths is organization and I
love using that skill to help make what is
a very important time in someone’s life - buying or selling a
house - run smoothly. The reward is always a very happy client
who is excited about the decisions they made whether they
are moving in or moving out!
How does your background bring a unique perspective to your work?
My background is one of problem solving and reacting
quickly to change. That sums up the real estate business
nicely!
Why is relationship building so key to your success?
My business is almost solely by word of mouth. I take time
to build relationships with my clients; to truly hear what they
want and try to steer them in that direction. Staying in touch
with them is not only good business but for me it is icing on
the cake. I have made genuine friends through this process
attending their weddings, held their newborn babies and stood
along side with them when they lost a loved one. Investing in
people is so important to our business.
How has your previous experience benefited your practice of real estate?
My previous professional experience is one of service through
working for a former governor’s administration. I learned there
the value of trying to put different parts of a puzzle together to
get the best outcome. I learned that digging deep into trying to
find solutions is so worth the time.
What is your mission statement?
My mission statement for business is short and sweet. Provide
my customers with a top-notch experience from soup to nuts.
What’s most important to you in your business?
It is most important for me to know that I treated my clients
with the focus, consideration and good experience that I would
want. Basically, the Golden Rule.
How do you give back to the community?
I have personally been involved with Good Samaritan
Industries and Crossover Healthcare which is a free clinic
serving Richmond and Henrico. I've walked in the SpeakUp 5 K
run the by the Cameron Gallagher Foundation. Anytime we
can shine a light on the important of mental health is good for
the community.

ClientTestimonials
Professional, considerate, realistic, seemed to understand what we were looking for well. We felt no pressure to seriously consider a home. Cathy went above and beyond, handling a bid on her birthday.
Cathy is extraordinary in all respects. This was a difficult time for our family and she was there every step of the way. She speaks very highly of her colleagues and the integrity of your services and business philosophy.
Great Communicator
Cathy is a great communicator, down to earth, and always making us feel she has our best interests in mind. She is very skilled and knowledgeable.
Very Helpful
I don't typically like to ask for help, but a situation came up during and nearing the closing process where I needed Cathy's help. She did not hesitate to step in and get the problem solved
Exceeded All Expectations
Simply Excellent. I presented Cathy with what I considered a difficult situation, selling my home while I was mostly away in another city. She didn't didn't flinch. Such a can-do attitude. Cathy is one of the most positive people I have ever met. Professional, knowledgeable, resourceful and productive. I was so impressed with the marketing; it made me want to buy the house and I owned it. But more over, Cathy took care of all the details and thank goodness. The house was closing during the busiest time of my work year. Because of Cathy I was able to attend to my business without missing a beat. I have sold four personal homes in my life and as many as 12 rental properties and without question this was the most pleasurable experience yet. And I owe it all to Cathy. If you want an agent who answers the phone 99% of the time on the first ring from early morning to night, always has a pleasant tone of voice, keeps the client informed and simply gets the job done Cathy Noonan is your agent. She receives my highest recommendation.
Knowledgeable and Competent
Cathy was so knowledgeable, extremely competent, thoughtful and guided me through the whole process with professionalism and calmness. I am very grateful.
Smooth Transactions
If anyone is looking for a realtor in the Richmond area, I highly recommend Cathy Noonan.
First of all, Cathy helped us find a home that is absolutely perfect for us. It is literally our dream home and fulfills every need (and want) that we were looking for in a home.
She then gave us excellent advice on how to prepare our townhouse to put it on the market. She even advised us on the minute details that we would have honestly overlooked. She went above and beyond to help Juan and I feel confident in listing our house in the midst of a global pandemic. Within 24 hours, it had a contract!
Today our home officially sold! The entire transaction went extremely smoothly, thanks to Cathy!
Lovely, Savvy, and Personable
Cathy is very knowledgeable about RVA and surrounding areas. She is lovely, personable, savvy, smart and has lots of interests. She made a stressful life decision manageable during a pandemic!
Attentive to every detail
Terrific experience with Cathy! Attentive to every detail. Anticipates all the potential issues that arise and is ready with a solution/recommendation right away. Knows the market and was able to find us the right home within 2 weeks of starting our search.
Very Professional & Knowledgeable
Cathy is very professional and has a huge knowledge of the real estate market.
