Cathy was very adaptive. The homes we were looking at were all foreclosures and she had to deal w/ the banks instead of other realtors (and this was back in 2008, when the housing market had recently crashed). She was able to change her ways in order to deal with the change in the housing market.

Cathy has always been there for us whenever we needed her. She has a remarkably in-depth knowledge of the area and is a pleasure to work with. She doesn’t push us to buy, instead giving insightful advice quietly and thoughtful. Above all, she remains positive about finding the right home for us.

Excellent agent, impressive local knowledge. I am very happy with her service.

We spent over a year looking at property with Kathy. She was very patient with us and truly honest when asked tough questions.

Cathy was the perfect agent, she understood what i was looking for and went the extra mile to find it, preview it and provide knowledge prior to me viewing the homes. She is a definite resource that should be utilized whenever possible.

As first-time homeowners, we worked with Cathy Sarmento on both the purchase and sale of our home. She was a real pleasure to work with and everything went smoothly under her watchful eyes. She walked us through the process of purchasing and selling a home step by step, providing recommendations for handy men and various inspections along the way. With Cathy’s help and expertise, we had two offers on our home within two days of putting it on the market. Cathy went above and beyond the call of duty in several situations to help our transactions (purchase and later sale) flow smoothly. When the buyer of our home ran into a snag late in the purchase process, Cathy worked hard negotiating with the buyers and their agent, even to the point of putting herself at a disadvantage, in order to help the transaction go through as smoothly and timely as possible. We would whole-heartedly recommend Cathy Sarmento to anyone involved with a real estate transaction in Placer and El Dorado County.

Cathy helped me sell my parents home that was in our family trust. This can be difficult process for a number of reasons other than the obvious emotional and sentimental factors. I can say with 100% honesty that working with Cathy was a dream !! She was very knowledgeable and her work ethic is over and above all I have ever experienced. My parents home was the 5th home I have sold. The home sold within one week at the full asking price and escrow went on with out a hitch. I will always look to her for my real estate needs and she will be the first person I recommend when asked.

I have known Cathy for years and she is a great person and Realtor. I would recommend he to any one I know and she always give it he all to make sure he service the best there is.

Cathy is very knowledgeable and came highly recommended. She was very supportive and informative long after the closing. I intend to keep in touch with her. This was a short sale, so there wasn’t negotiation.

Cathy was very calming for me. I’d be in a rush or hyped up and she’d get me to relax and focus on the house we were looking at or whatever the need. She was very good at asking me questions to get a good understanding of what I like, didn’t like, would change, etc. The houses she recommended were right in the ballpark for my likes and wants. I appreciated it so no wasted time on houses that were way off my idea.
