About Cath

I’ve been helping people navigate the Tauranga property market since 2013, and over the years I’ve built a reputation for delivering results and guiding my clients through every step with precision and care. After taking a short break in 2024 to work as an Account Executive for a global technology company, setting up distributors across New Zealand and Australia and collaborating with international teams, I realised just how much I love real estate and returned with renewed energy in October 2025. What drew me back was the opportunity to work with Barfoot & Thompson Cherrywood and, in particular, Louise Findlater, Branch Manager, who was my Sales Manager during my earlier years in the industry. I’ve always respected Louise’s leadership and approach, and being able to work with her again was an easy decision. Having lived in Tauranga since 2003 and raised our three children here, I know the local market intimately and understand the lifestyle this area offers. I enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them achieve their goals, whether that’s selling a home they’ve loved for years or finding the perfect property to start a new chapter. My experience, attention to detail, and negotiation skills allow me to deliver outcomes my clients can rely on. Outside of real estate, I love travelling, exploring new cultures, and tasting new cuisines, which keeps me curious and inspired. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Tauranga, I’d love to put my experience and local knowledge to work for you. Let’s connect and make your next move a great one!

Behind Every Successful Sale Is Someone Truly Special Thank you Cath, you were amazing!!

Wow… where do we even begin? We are so incredibly thankful for everything you did to help us sell our old and buy our new home. From the very beginning, your dedication, genuine care and hard work stood out. We truly appreciated having someone we could trust and who went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Your communication was fantastic — you kept us informed, listened to us and made sure we always knew what was happening. You even built us up after we thought we had no hope left! Your knowledge of the market gave us confidence, and your negotiation skills and determination helped us achieve such a wonderful outcome. We also have so much admiration for your professionalism. You handled every step with such care, honesty and enthusiasm, while still making the experience feel personal and enjoyable. You weren’t just our estate agent — you genuinely felt like someone who was in our corner, and that meant so much to us. Thank you for your patience, guidance, encouragement and for everything you did to get us across the finish line. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an agent who truly cares, communicates exceptionally well, knows the market, negotiates with confidence and delivers with professionalism. Here’s to you and many more happy homeowners! With heartfelt thanks, appreciation and admiration — we are so grateful for you! The Prinsloo Family..

Committed to Getting the Sale

Cath showed her commitment to getting a result for us. Her market knowledge provided good insight. The marketing plan was explained and executed well. She held well attended open homes and provided constant feedback. We would recommend Cath to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Let down by this agent

Let down by this agent

I am now changing our original review after discovering promises made were not kept & she is now denying what she said. “Oversold” is what the agent who took over from Cathryn said when we pointed out issues that were not resolved as promised. Now feeling like we were taken for a ride. Very disappointed, both in Cathryn & Harcourts who have been pretty tepid in our dealings with them.

Catherine - the Ultimate professional and great communicator

It was a pleasure working with Catherine. She was always positive. She developed a good rapport with our tenants regarding the open home visits. Catherine provided good data regarding sales / properties in the area. The ultimate professional. Thanks Catherine for your time and effort...it paid off!
