Customer Reviews

Cathy went above and beyond working with me on the recent sale of my condo. Communicated with me every step of the way. Couldn’t ask for a better real estate agent!!! Mary C. Manahan

We hired Cathy Byrne for all transactions over the past 20+ years. We have had other agents, in other states, and she is by far the best in the business. Madonna Wallace

Cathy is an exceptional agent and also wonderful person. We have worked with her on the sale of 3 properties, purchase of 1 and have referred her to many friends. Her knowledge of the market, commitment to what's best for her client, excellent negotiation skills, ability and willingness to commit time and address any issues that may arise are all areas she excels in. From initial meeting through the closing Cathy's advise is there to put you at ease and maximize the worth of your property and she does it all with a touch of humor. We've owned property out of state, and utilized other agents and their service did not compare to Cathy's. We wouldn't want to work with any other agent in Chicago Dawn M Shallberg

Cathy was a great help to us in finding our first home. She explained the house purchasing process clearly and was a valuable asset from beginning to end. We are very happy with our experience. Michael Kapst

Cathy has been our trusted agent for over 20 years, and she’s the best of the best. Professional, dedicated, and always one step ahead—she finds answers before we even know we need them. Simply unbeatable! Madonna Wallace

Cathy is the best! Cathy made the whole selling process simple and not stressful! Kim Payne

Cathy is a great person to work with. She knows her stuff and she will not settle for nothing until her client is satisfied! She explains each step so you are aware of what to expect. I will recommend Cathy for sure to anyone who is looking to buy a house. Angelica Mota

That is the third time we trust Cathy Byrne with our business. She helped us to find the right property and was on top of the process all the time, offering advice and guidance, always in our camp. Certainly, we will go with her again. Silvia Ortega Franco

Cathy Byrne and the B&W team Are outstanding! Within 24 hours of contacting Cathy, she had prepared a market analysis for our property. We took her advice on pricing, decluttering and staging the house. Cathy recommended no street sign and had the property photographed professionally. It looked beautiful online. The house sold within 24 hours with multiple offers. Cathy contacted the buyer’s lender and so we were assured the accepted deal would close. This is our 4th property sold with Cathy and B&W and every experience has been seamless. We highly recommend Cathy and B&W!! Margaret Tower Margaret M. Casey, Irrev Trust (margaret Tower, Exec)

Ms. Cathy Byrne really worked hard and went above and beyond her duties as a realtor. She was realistic about the market for selling my condo and was straight up about what was best to have my place sold. Cathy also tolerated my impatience and constant texting quite well. Everything worked well at the end. Thomas D. Hussey

Really appreciate Cathy Byrne. I've used her previously, did so again, and will in the future. Keith Vrieze

Cathy was awesome to work with and I will highly recommend her to anyone I know that is looking to sell a house in the Chicagoland area. Well-done Cathy! Marion Holmbeck

Thank you, Cathy for overseeing our mom’s selling of her home. It’s difficult to live out of state when a parent is elderly and going through this process. You made us all feel that you were taking the time to explain things to her and did an excellent job of keeping us kids updated throughout the entire process. Thank you as well for the kindness and care that you showed to her. We know that you went above and beyond what your job entails. We appreciate the wonderful job you did and the quick selling of mom’s home! Deborah Mcnamara

Cathy went above and beyond helping us to sell my mother's home of 60 years. She was patient and kind with my elderly mother. She guided us all through the complexities of selling the house and explained each step to us. She offered us suggestions for service providers when asked, since we were working from out of town, and her suggestions were very much appreciated. Cathy took great care of the home during it's vacant period and made herself available every step of the way. We appreciated Cathy's experience in first listing the home at a fair market value, helping us to prepare the home for sale, and then negotiating a final sale. We would recommend Cathy to anyone buying or selling a home. She is wonderful to have in your corner! Barbara Fanella

Cathy, Your ability to feel the pulse o thrf markrt was spot on; kudos! You made yourself available during off hours, and your knowledge from a clearly lengthy history in the industry made you an easy choice.

Thanks for helping us move a step towards closure. The Lawson family Helen P. Lawson, Estate

Cathy Byrne was a great help to me in the rental of my Condo. She explained in great detail all the things she was doing to show my unit and to eventually find a tenant for my unit. Also gave me help in choosing the right family for my condo. I would choose Baird and Warner for future help with my rental units. Mary Jane Roddy

Cathy Byrne was the cooperating agent when we purchased our condo. She impressed us then. We interviewed three other agents. All were well qualified but we went with Cathy. When we signed on we didn't realize how dicey the market was. We didn't get much early action but Cathy was candid with us and didn't push for any new strategy. Then she had a great showing one Sunday and then walked us through selling process and did a remarkable getting us ready for the closing. We made the right choice! James Boysen

There are a few details which could be better disseminated; handbook from chicago bungalow assoc., efflorescence, goods and service suppliers, water table records, urban landscape, tree value, how to build community, unique issues of immigrants, to eliminate gangs. I was able to obtain dd 214 by a visit to VA hospital reception desk fot a form to mail in and it worked. Donald Kenney

I give Cathy Byrne the highest rating in all categories. Throughout the entire process she handled every crises with capable professionalism. She went above and beyond my wildest expectations in all situations which required action in what was an especially complicated transaction. I was more than happy with the offer we received and relieved that it was sold in a timely fashion even though i now live out of town. Cathy took care of everything locally to make it all run very smoothly. I am very grateful to her for all the extra work she put in for us. She is a valuable member of your team. Thank you again, Cathy, Sincerely, Robin Kedzior Robin Kedzior

We really appreciate this opportunity to express our gratitude. Cathy Byrne is knowledgeable, friendly, sincere and an expert broker. She has so many years experience in this area of the city and suburbs that it all appears effortless on her part even though we know it was far from it. She guided us through each step of the process as a pro and even when problems arose she was tenacious and wise on how to proceed. She often knew the next steps before our lawyers did. It takes a special kind of professional to instill this level of trust and complete satisfaction. This is the third house we have bought/sold with Cathy and we wouldn't consider using anyone else. Thank you Cathy for battling through the unforeseen with us and leaving us with a perfect outcome once again. Tom & Cyndi Lio Cynthia Lio

Very valuable information on the market, even comps within our condo complex. We appreciated the contact with the buyer, to encourage them to complete the condo association - required steps. Gloria J. Hedman, Estate

Considering the difficulty we had with the sale, Cathy went above and beyond the scope of her job. She is professional, courteous, and personable. We would recommend Cathy to everyone. Andre Youmara

Had are house on market last year with different agent without much activity....selling our house with Cathy was a 1000x better experience with her extensive knowledge of our neighborhood....our house sold within 2 months at the price we wanted....thank you Cathy.... James Sumita

Cathy went the extra mile helping me understand the negotiating process. She tolerated a buyer whose broker broke agreed upon appointment times, arriving early, and a client who requested several additional walkthroughs. She and her assistant guided the sale to its closing, navigating several nuances, any of which could have blown up the deal. I’ll be forever grateful to Cathy for helping me help my brother in the sale of his house. Michael Mcdermott

Cathy was truly a "full service" agent because she showed up for all other agent showings, home inspections, radon tests, and appraisals. Cathy is a very knowledgeable professional. We were certainly pleased that we selected Baird Warner and Cathy Byrne in particular Rex E. Wilson,Living Trust

Cathy knew her market and was able to clearly communicate her view of how and why the "market" responded the way they did. She referred me to resources that helped me prepare the property for sale. I felt that Cathy was in my corner and kept my interests in mind at all times. She was a strong advocate, helping to explain to potential buyers the nature of the property and the situation.

I am so pleased with my experience that I have ALREADY recommended her to someone who has engaged her to sell their house! Michael Dire,Trustee

I was very pleased with all aspects of my selling experience with Cathy Byrne. She was honest, professional, responsive and helpful to my needs. As I live 35 miles from the property and work full time, Cathy went out of her way to pick up paperwork from the property or tenants to make it easier on me. My property had some challenges and Cathy recognized the potential, helped me price it right, and negotiate with potential buyers so it was a win-win for both sides. Josephinie Golonka Living Trust

We had no question as to represent us in our home sale. Cathy was the agent who worked with us to buy our original home . So we knew the type of service we would receive. Throughout the sale of our home she was very supportive and professional. My wife and I were very satisfied. This whole process can be nerve racking but was made easier with her by our side. We were so glad to use her again and would recommend her to anyone that was looking to purchase or sell any home. Not much else I could say except we will miss her cause we moved out of Illinois.

She's a consummate professional as well as being an exceptionally kind person. I highly recommend Cathy to anyone seeking an agent whom they can rely upon to get the job done. Yours Truly. Ann Woelk Ann Woelk

Cathy was fantastic. We have dealt with many Agents over the years and she is by FAR the best. I mean, no one else even comes close. I don't know why more people in ANY business aren't more like her. It is, unfortunately, very rare theses days and we were fortunate to meet her. Her method of being present for all showings, events, etc. proves out to gain you more money and to smooth the process.

Cathy is the best! I was so impressed with her knowledge and expertise. I'm looking forward to working with her again for our home purchase! :) Andrea Horyn

Cathy was a most welcomed agent to deal with in our house selling experience. She brings a wealth of experience to the table and shares that knowledge with her clients. She isn't one of those agents that is there to make a quick buck, but truly interested in working with her client in achieving their objectives and overcoming obstacles that may occur. Henry Pielach

Cathy Byrne is an exceptional realtor. We couldn't be happier with how she handled everything for us. She is an expert and knew the answer to everything we asked and was always prompt in returning phone calls and for appointments. Her referral for an attorney was perfect. Cathy Byrne is one of the hardest workers I've ever met. She puts her heart and soul into her career and made this experience for us very comfortable and reassuring. I have never met a realtor as professional as she is. You are lucky to have her on the Baird & Warner team. I found Cathy through one of her flyers. So thankful I did. Rosanne Morrison

Cathy was awesome and made the selling process easy. We ran into several obstacles beyond our control, and she helped us work through them. Matt C.
