Cathy Lakey has been helping people hit home runs in buying and selling homes for many years. Part of a family that loves baseball, it's not surprising that she sees commonality between achievement on a baseball diamond and achievement in her profession.

Her "secret" to success is pretty much the same as that of the big-league sluggers -- lots of hard work, preparation, continuous improvement, and never settling for mediocrity. She stays on top of the latest trends in real estate marketing and seeks opportunities for ongoing education in her field.

With more than 20 years of active real estate experience, Cathy maintains a strong commitment to continued learning and professional development.

She also has handled many sales involving estates and probates. In addition, Cathy is expanding into commercial real estate services and working to obtain her broker's license.

Cathy holds the coveted CRS designation awarded by the National Association of REALTORS. As such, she is one of an elite group comprising only 3 percent of REALTORS nationwide who have met the education and production requirements to earn and maintain this designation. The Certified Residential Specialist designation has been referred to by some in the business as "like having a doctorate degree in real estate."

Cathy's clients trust her because she listens to their needs, desires and goals, and then skillfully and thoroughly creates a plan to achieve her clients' desired results. Her commitment to her clients is evident in her open style of communication, her attention to detail and her service-minded attitude.

"Always do the right thing.....it's called integrity." According to Realtor and The Woodlands resident, Leslie Hitt, that was the best piece of career advice she ever received. "I care about each and every one of my clients, and I always put them first."

Leslie began her real estate career in 2002 after 14 years as a legal assistant, an important work experience that taught her the value of listening and paying careful attention to detail. She focuses her sales on neighborhoods in and around her home base, including all of The Woodlands, Montgomery Trace, Woodforest, Katy, Conroe, and Spring.

"I listen intently to what my clients tell me about their needs and wants," Leslie says. "Understanding their goals allows me to formulate and implement a game plan for their success - whether they are first-time buyers or seller or experienced in the process. I empathize with my clients during their moves, especially if it's a particularly challenging transition, and work hard to guide them through it with a minimum of stress."

Leslie believes that along with customer service and market knowledge, industry education is paramount. She holds important professional certifications and designations that include the ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative), GRI (Graduate Realtors Institute), CRS (Certified Relocation Specialist), Certified New Home Specialist (CNHS), and membership in the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM).

Originally from Ponca City, Oklahoma, Leslie has lived in The Woodlands since 1999 and has volunteered regularly for the local chapter of the American Heart Association. She and her husband have an adult daughter and enjoy spending time with family and friends as well as antique shopping.
