What some clients have to say about working with Catherine:
Catherine is a gem and I'm continually grateful we found her. She has lived and raised kids in Montgomery County and has years of experience in the housing market, and therefore knows the ins and outs of the neighborhoods and houses and is able to provide invaluable knowledge and advice. She is patient and will take the time to listen and help you find exactly what you're looking for. My family had very specific requirements for a home due to family circumstances, that at times seemed impossible to find. Catherine stuck with us for months as we looked at dozens of home and finally found the perfect one for us. She is kind, and funny, and great with kids to boot. I cannot recommend her enough.

Catherine Soffronoff sold our Silver Spring home for well over list price. We followed her recommendations as to when to list it, what needed repair, and how to present our home in the best way. Not only did she point out areas that needed repair, she also connected us with a qualified repair person who did the work quickly. Catherine is everything you could want in a Realtor. She knows the area and the business. She’s strategic and smart. She follows through on her commitments and won’t leave you hanging at any point in the process. She’s also friendly and someone you will enjoy working with throughout the process.
Doreen and Barry
Catherine was a fabulous realtor, assisting us -- as nervous first-time homebuyers navigating the uncertainty of the pandemic real estate market -- with patience, thoughtfulness, and a good sense of humor. She was proactive without making us feel pressured and advised us on a myriad of issues related to home buying that we wouldn’t have thought to even ask about. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking in the Silver Spring area!
Stephanie
I chose Catherine as my selling agent because I felt she is smart and honest. She did not let me down. She is extremely easy to work with and went above and beyond what I would have expected from an agent. I dreaded selling my mom's house and all it entailed. She was understanding, but also gently prodded me when I really needed it, and always with a very pleasant attitude. She helped me stay focused on the most important things I needed to deal with and patiently explained the process to me and answered all my questions (this was the first house I'd ever sold). Catherine also gave me recommendations of other reliable and skilled people who could help me with the undertaking when I was feeling overwhelmed. I guess I could say she basically held my hand through the process. I would highly recommend Catherine as a real estate agent and wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Her even-keeled temperament and positive attitude were a blessing for me when I felt so stressed out.
Debra
We can’t recommend Catherine highly enough. We found her through a senior housing website when we decided to sell our house in Northern California and move to the D. C. area to be nearer to family. We contacted her remotely to introduce ourselves, then met up with her in person on a family visit to Maryland. As strangers to the area, we found Catherine very helpful in locating a variety of possibilities to meet our needs. No sooner did we return home to California to plan the next step than the coronavirus pandemic erupted, making our moving and travel plans unusually challenging. Catherine was with us every step of the way as we did virtual walkthroughs, made a remote offer on a condominium unit, and closed on the purchase with little drama. Because we were still in California, she served as our on-the-ground surrogate as well as our real estate agent. Catherine is a great listener, manages details with aplomb, and is a superb negotiator. She’s also highly knowledgeable about the area (a great help when you’re from out of town as we were), and delightful to deal with on a personal level. We couldn’t be happier with the service and assistance she’s provided us in this rather tricky transaction.
Steve and Helen
It was a joy buying our first house with Catherine's help. She was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we wanted to look in and generously shared her time taking us around to look at houses in our price range. She quickly helped us figure out what we were looking for in a house in terms of layout, helped us identify and stick to our deal-breakers and pointed out important things to know during both tours and the home inspection so that we could be confident in making an offer and going into closing. She was also a strong negotiator and helped us recoup some costs in closing to help pay for repairs identified in the home inspection. She is kind, attentive and a pleasure to work with. We are so happy with our new home and would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a real estate agent!
Kara
Catherine is both a wonderful person and realtor. She helped us with our first home-buying process in Fall 2021. We knew very little about all the ins and outs, and she guided us through all the processes, vocabulary, etc. She helped make the process less overwhelming. Catherine is generous with her time and extremely responsive. She would always respond to texts, calls and emails in a very timely manner. This was essential in this market as everything moves so quickly. She is very knowledgeable about the Silver Spring area, and we really valued her recommendations. She also has strong relationships with local lenders and inspectors, which really benefited us. We highly recommend working with Catherine as your realtor, and have certainly recommended her to close friends/family.
Meaghan
Catherine really went out of her way to help us with our home purchase at Leisure World of Maryland. When we hit a snag concerning many units only allowing one pet, she helped us write petitions to each to make our plea for allowing our two cats. She always responded quickly to our questions and deftly assisted with what became a tricky negotiation to finalize our deal when the appraisal came in too low. We highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for someone who goes the extra mile and who has lots of patience.
Tamara
Catherine helped us sell our home and purchase a new one. Throughout the process she was patient, thoughtful, and supportive. She is very knowledgeable about the area and worked very hard to present options and to meet our needs as sellers and buyers. I had a lot of questions and she went above and beyond to answer them or to find someone who could help, whether it was a question about financing or home repair. In the end we got a great price for our starter home and found our dream home to raise our teenage children. I highly recommend Catherine.
Sangita
Catherine helped us sell our home quickly at a price that we were happy with! Her communication was excellent - Catherine provided us with meaningful updates and was very responsive. She is knowledgeable about the area, and talked honestly and intelligently with us about the market and what to expect when selling a home. In our initial meeting, and throughout the process, Catherine was prepared with market data, pros and cons of each decision and feedback on how to help our home appeal to buyers.
Jenny
If you are considering working with a realtor and you have found Catherine Soffronoff, stop your search! You've found the right one. Her skills and diligence are impressive, her willingness to do whatever it takes to get things done is wonderful, but we mostly enjoyed her genuine human warmth--and sense of humor!
David
Catherine was extremely helpful, an unbelievable problem solver, and did everything to ensure my closing went smoothly. Before buying, she showed my husband and I numerous properties so that I could find something that would suit me and later she continued to show us properties with the floorplan that I wanted. She was diligent about returning phone calls and emails. I am so grateful to have found a real estate agent like Catherine.
Suzanne
Catherine gave us an amazing level of support throughout the entire buying process! Her suggestions were spot-on at every step, and she helped us get the house we love under terms that worked for us.
Melinda
Catherine Soffronoff is amazing to work with! We couldn't be happier with our new house and the great deal we got on it!
Ben
Catherine was patient, professional, and knowledgeable about Leisure World. She was able to adjust to the many changes in our expectations and we were able to find a condo that meets our needs very well.
Christina
Catherine was great to work with. She found my mom a lovely condo on our first time out!! She responded almost immediately to every call, text, and email. Was very polite and courteous. Listened to our needs and found us exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the process she was very helpful, mediating with brokers, sellers agent, lenders, and attorneys. She also was very helpful to find us additional professionals that were needed to close the deal. Catherine is extremely efficient, professional and just a nice person to work with. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future.
Kim
We were really fortunate to have Catherine Soffronoff as our realtor when trying to find a condominium in Maryland. We were concerned about having to relocate from Pennsylvania to Maryland. Catherine made the entire process so easy. We found Catherine to be knowledgeable and she immediately addressed any concerns we had. We found her to be a true professional and it was a real pleasure working with her.
Shobha
My husband and I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough. She is the ultimate professional, knows her market and the business inside out, and was able to expertly guide us through the process of finding and buying our retirement home. She listened carefully to what we were looking for and stayed in constant contact with us. Equally important, she is a lovely person and was delightful to work with.
Kathi
Catherine worked with me for almost a year to find the perfect condo. She listened to me and helped me get through the process as a first time buyer. I would recommend her for anyone. She was kind, thoughtful and answered every single question I had, and there were many questions! I love my condo, but when it is time to move I will use her again.
Janet
We live 2.5 hours away from the home we needed to sell. We looked for someone I could trust AND who had a heart, since the house had belonged for 50+ years to family members. Catherine sat us down the first day we met and explained the process. We signed papers and closed 3 months later. She is very efficient and also knows a lot about trusts. Catherine was quick to respond to any of our questions, helped us with decision-making (giving us pro's and con's) and continued to keep an eye on the house. We highly recommend Catherine as a real estate agent to go to, whether you live close by or a far distance.
Cindy and Don
Catherine helped me through a very stressful purchase. She is knowledgeable and stays on top of everything. I have bought and sold several places and Catherine exceeded all of my expectations.
Debbie
I highly recommend Catherine as a realtor. She helped my mother and I find and purchase a condo in Leisure World. We found her to be very knowledgeable of the area and all the specific guidelines that go along with purchasing and living there. She was always very responsive and made what can be a stressful process, very easy. I would certainly use her again for my next home purchase.
Stacy
Catherine helped me sell my townhouse and buy a new home. She was great about working with my schedule to view houses and was really good at following up on items that needed to be resolved to keep things moving smoothly. Catherine's also not one to bully you to a decision, and we appreciated her low-pressure approach while other parts of our lives were quite stressful.
Alison
Catherine recently helped me purchase a home. Her steady, professional guidance every step of the way was comforting. Catherine and her team kept me informed and communicated with me beyond my expectations. If you are looking to buy or sell a property you won't be disappointed with Catherine!
Jennifer
Catherine assisted us in a search for a new home that could accommodate my immediate family and my aging father. After showing several houses to us and comparing them to our existing home, she suggested adding an in-law suite to our home. This was a legitimate solution to our family’s needs, but it didn’t benefit her financially at all. Nevertheless, she did not hesitate to make the recommendation that she felt was in the best interest of her clients. I can’t say enough about her honesty, selflessness, and concern for others. I was also very impressed by the respectful and patient manner in which she interacted with my father.
Clay
Catherine is amazing! I was referred to her while doing my search for a 1 bedroom apt/condo. She immediately contacted me and assisted me throughout the entire process. She arranged site visits, contacted management on my behalf, thoroughly explained the leasing process and answered all of my questions. Thank you Catherine for helping me find my condo and being patient with me...it is greatly appreciated! Your work ethic shows how dedicated you are to your clients and making them happy.
Tracey
Catherine was extremely helpful in aiding my wife in I search for homes in the DC and Maryland area. She was cheerful and communicative throughout the process, giving us online tools to rate our preferences and then dedicating an entire Saturday to lead us on home visits. We were very grateful for her service and would recommend her to others looking for real estate help.
