About Catherine Baldwin

In 1980 My parents drove me to Meredith College, and that's when I fell in love with Raleigh.  I earned a Business degree from Meredith in 1984 and in 1988, I married an NCSU engineer and we moved to Atlanta.  While there, I got my GA real estate license, bought my first house, renovated it top to bottom and had a baby.  We decided to move back to NC in 2000 to be closer to family and Raleigh was the spot!. I worked part time for a few years to focus on the joys (and challenges!) of being a mom. During that time I really started to feel the pull back into real estate.  Because I've seen Raleigh grow across 40+ years I feel it is fair to say I know this area very well.  Plus it's in my blood.  My mom was a Realtor in Winston-Salem. My Dad is a real estate Investor and my brother is a commercial Realtor in Charlotte.  

MY WORK ETHIC:  I am proud to be able to successfully get folks under contract in one of the hottest real estate markets in the nation. I bring a wealth of knowledge, good habits, great attitude, and skills/expertise about buying and selling real estate here.  I go the extra mile for my people, maintain a hands-on approach and remain accessible to ensure top-notch service. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone who knows the local market and you can trust to do it right. 

YOU:  You may have heard it before but it is so true….being ready (to make a move), willing (to navigate this market), and able (physically, financially, right timing, energy-wise).... You need all of those pieces in place.  I believe client communication and flexibility are vital.  We will work closely together, often talking every day, sometimes multiple times a day.   If you are working full time buying / selling a house does not happen in the “off hours”. It’s a part-time job in parallel.  For about 60 days. That’s an extra stress load, nonetheless.  I try to make sure each sale is as painless and positive for the client as it can be.  

Today I am part of the Triangle Experts team, led by Sharon Evans who has over 20 years in the business.  Year after year, my team and I produce 300+ transactions, averaging $150 million in sales. WRAL voters picked us as the #1 team in the area! 

Above my computer I have a  poster with the following:

Triangle Experts:  TREX LIFE

Tenacious = hurdle challenges, be a go-getter

Reliable = do what you say you are going to do

Expertise = above average habits and skill

X-factor = go beyond expectations

L “like-able” =  be easy to like & build rapport

Integrity = be completely trustworthy

Fiduciary = put the client’s interests first

Elevate = have an abundance mindset

If you like what you are reading then let’s work together.  If not for yourself, then show this to someone.  I have been doing this a while but am looking to grow my business. The best way to do that is by giving my name to someone. 

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you with your next adventure.
