Caterina Hirsh

As a seasoned residential real estate broker with @properties Christie's International Real Estate, I bring a wealth of experience in guiding both buyers and sellers through the intricacies of one of the most significant transactions of their lives.  As a listing agent, my hallmarks are high-level service, honesty, communication, accurate pricing & exceptional marketing. With my buyer clients, I am a true partner, not only educating my clients on the market but also guiding them along the entire buying process.

Beyond traditional real estate services, I distinguish myself by leveraging my expertise in home renovation projects tailored to enhance property appeal for listings. With a keen eye for detail, I provide pre-listing staging consultations to optimize the presentation of homes, ensuring they stand out in the market. I utilize my comprehensive understanding of market-driven pricing strategies along with exceptional marketing, using a blend of social media, next-level technology, and traditional print marketing to maximize property exposure.

Possessing the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) designation and Certified Staging Consultant (CSC) designation from the National Association of REALTORS®, I remain dedicated to staying abreast of the latest industry technologies and skills. This commitment ensures that my clients receive top-notch service and the best possible experience throughout the buying or selling process.

Before venturing into real estate, I had a rewarding career in fundraising within the non-profit sector, contributing to organizations such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Blythedale Children's Hospital. A proud graduate of DePaul University with a Business Degree focused on Marketing, I am rooted in the O'Hare neighborhood of Chicago and am an alumna of Resurrection High School.

Having lived in New York for several years, my husband and I have chosen Park Ridge as our home for over 15 years, where we are raising our two children. My commitment goes beyond a single transaction; my goal is to foster lasting relationships with clients, earning their trust and becoming their lifelong real estate advisor. There is no greater satisfaction than when clients entrust me with repeat business and refer me to their family and friends.
