Cathy DeLoach, founding partner of The Mary & Cathy Team, has been working in real estate for Long and Foster in Northern Virginia since 2006.
It was no surprise when Cathy embarked on her career in real estate: The Besleys of Fairfax, Virginia have been selling real estate since the 1950’s. Her father was a general contractor and her mother renovated houses for resale. Cathy has a network of contractors ready to step in at any point to help sellers prepare their home for a quick and profitable sale.
With a lifetime of exposure to home building, remodeling and selling real estate, Cathy became the creative arm of The Mary & Cathy Team, forging renovation, remodeling and staging innovations that wow buyers and earn sellers higher profits.
Cathy, with partner Mary Hovland, decided initially to focus on their home neighborhood of Kings Park West. With almost 2,000 homes built in the 1970’s, the houses were overdue for updating to appeal to modern buyers. Cathy’s expertise in home prep and reasonable, cost effective remodeling helped the Team achieve award winning success throughout Northern Virginia. The Team has been listed as one of Washingtonian Magazine’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents every year since 2015. Now, Cathy leads a large team of real estate specialists who assist with client interaction, administrative duties, staging and more – the Property Sisters. Cathy also is a dedicated community supporter and initiates a multitude of local events that focus on improving the quality of life of residents.
Cathy and husband, Mike, bought a Regent in Kings Park West in 1999, where they raised their two children.
Wise words from Cathy: Sellers should seek an agent who personalizes a plan specific to their needs rather than one having a singular approach to selling real estate. “One size does NOT fit all!”
