About Cathy

Ambitious and highly professional, Lead Agent Cathy Richards established her real estate career in 2007 where her drive for success saw her harness in excess of $130 million in sales during her first three years, and achieved a finalist placing for the REIQ Rookie of the Year Award in her first 12 months on the job. As a true hallmark of her expertise and success, Cathy was the only Queensland agent to speak at the 2012 Australasian Real Estate Conference, and consistently records top prestige sales in Brisbane’s inner-east, consistently placing in the top three each year in Place sales. As an established and successful prestige property expert – but specializing in all areas of real estate - Cathy recognizes the importance of integrity, precision and quality. Through her commitment to clients on both sides of the real estate transaction, Cathy delivers an individualized and superior property service, constantly delivering her clients the best possible results. Cathy marries these sharp business skills with an intuitive awareness of her clients’ needs, which has allowed her to accumulate an extensive portfolio of contacts. This further cements her reputation as a polished, dedicated and successful property expert. Cathy’s superior interpersonal skills coupled with her unparalleled sales achievements saw her landing the Place 2010 Salesperson of the Year Runner-up Award. Soon after, Cathy was selected as a top five Australia-wide sales agent and principal at the Atherton Group’s Ignite 2011 Sales Conference. Additionally, Cathy is widely known for maintaining her stellar sales record even during slower markets such as in 2010, where she totaled $43.5 million in sales. Cathy’s intimate knowledge of the market coupled with her sharp negotiation skills fuels her passion for all categories of property, and ensures remarkable results for clients. As a passionate and enthusiastic Bulimba local – having lived and worked in the area her entire life - Cathy eagerly immerses herself in local community and school events, and enjoys communications with both business and personal networks on a regular basis. Cathy’s firm belief and continual investment in training, coaching and mentoring ensures that her skills are constantly aligned with the highest industry standards. Cathy’s significant contribution and achievements in real estate result in an Australia-wide reputation as a truly accomplished, personable and successful sales professional.

Never Again
over 4 years ago
Never Again

My experience with Cathy was terrible. She was a lot more concerned about the buyer than myself. She told me she would look after me but really pushed the sale along for her own benefit without care for myself or my kids. When we sold the house, Place did not offer us a rental property & Cathy turned her back on us. She treated us like used garbage & even sent out a humiliating group texts with our expected date of vacancy when she knew we were struggling to find a place. I would never trust Cathy again.

Extremely Professional, Hardworking and Committed.

Having previously purchased my property from Cathy and now selling with her, I feel I can confidently endorse her professionalism and integrity on both sides of the transaction. Together, Cathy and Zita's provided an exceptional level of service and communication throughout the sales campaign and were a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to working with Cathy and Zita again in the future.

Professional and approachable

We recently purchased a property through Cathy and Zita. The entire process went smoothly. Prior to signing the contract we viewed the property several times and Cathy and Zita were very accommodating and we never felt pressured to buy which made us feel very comfortable to discuss the property further. We were interested in making a few modifications to the property and Zita was extremely helpful with providing contacts for services that we could liaise with to organise this. Even after signing the contract and going unconditional they have been in contact and allowed us to view the property so that we can prepare for the move. Very professional, friendly and approachable and I would be happy sell a property through them. Thank you

For me, the hallmark of a real professional someone who just makes it look so easy. Cathy does that with integrity – and that you are aware at all times she’s acting in your best interests. Highly recommended – Alan McGirvan

Perseverance and hard work by Zita!

Perseverance and hard work by Zita!

I had the pleasure to work with Zita to manage and sell my property and the result was absolutely amazing. Zita helped us at first as the property manager and she was fantastic as she arranged for us all repairs and improvements to the unit, always going beyond expectations, over and above of what was required. Then, when we decided to sell, despite tough market conditions, Zita never gave up and after a few rounds, finally got us the result that we wanted as our selling agent! Will not hesitate to engage Zita in future!
