Cathy Possedi

Cathy was born and raised on Oahu, and now resides on the Windward side of the island in beautiful Kaneohe. She credits her parents, who both instilled in her the value of a good education, the benefits of hard work, and the importance of family. Helping people comes naturally for her, so much so that she earned a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Hawaii.

Cathy's career took her in many directions, including the hospitality industry, retirement and financial planning, and since 2006, Real Estate. She now helps her clients build wealth through real estate, which she feels is one of the best ways ordinary people can leverage their hard-earned money. She especially enjoys assisting newcomers relocating to the island, working with members of the Armed Forces, and investors looking to expand their portfolios. Besides her market knowledge, she generously shares her local knowledge of the islands, from great eating places, to schools, to hiking trails. For her, communication is the key, and she always strives to exceed her client's expectations to ensure a positive experience for them.

Cathy is married to an Air Force Academy graduate, and is a recent empty nester with 2 boys in college (22 and 20). She believes 100% in the Hawai'i Life: enjoying hiking, fishing, and the beautiful beaches throughout the island. While she bought her first property at the age of 22, her philosophy is: "it's never too late to own real estate, especially in Hawaii". Cathy would love to help you to own a Piece of Paradise!

Cathy did an absolutely phenomenal job helping me sell my home. I was in the process of transitioning out of the military and needed to sell quickly, which was a stressful situation. From the moment we started working together, she took the time to understand my needs and circumstances. She made the entire process seamless, guiding me every step of the way and helped me sell my home, FAST. I’m beyond grateful for her hard work and support during such a big life change.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Cathy!!! She is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Cathy is thorough, extremely fast and super knowledgeable about all things real estate. She always kept me up to date about things that were happening with the transaction and if the deadline was approaching, she would reach out and request an update. She is extremely professional, dependable and has exceptional contacts who will provide you with decent pricing for things you may need, such as termite inspection, or professional cleaners. Cathy will always be there for you when she represents you. I've been on both sides of the process, as a buyer and as a seller. Both times I've been wowed by her work ethic and skills. You will not regret picking her as your realtor!

Excerpt...Cathy Possedi is the best realtor in Hawaii. She is intelligent and quick-witted, knowledgeable and personable, and knows the ins and outs of realty. She is trustworthy and reliable, honest and forthcoming. An excellent communicator and negotiator, Cathy will provide her customers with the best home-buying experience possible.

We first got to know Cathy via HGTV’s “Hawaii Life” TV program while living on the mainland. The excellent impression she made on the airwaves along with rave reviews, prompted us to contact Cathy prior to our move to Oahu...She is more than a trusted advocate; she is also like family. During our initial time in Hawaii, Cathy took time out of her busy schedule to get to know our three-year old daughter. Her genuine care for our daughter and willingness to spend time with her while we discussed our options during outings, made us realize that Cathy is a rare gem.

... when you’re working with Cathy, you can rest assure that you in the very best, most capable hands... we have previously lived in some busy markets on the mainland (Philadelphia and Charlotte suburbs), we can attest to Cathy being the very best, top realtor we have ever known or worked with....In our eyes, and in the eyes of many, she is unparalleled. Personally and professionally she personifies the word “excellence” and we are so thankful to have crossed her path.

Amy and Zack Riehemann, Buyer: 2010, 2013, 2018; Seller: 2014

Cathy has been our real estate agent for over 5 years. We were new to the island and found her online. We got lucky because she has been the best agent we could have asked for. She helped us find our 1st home on the beach in Ewa five years ago. We just recently sold it. She found the buyer on day 1 and got us ABOVE asking price! The process was easy and she went above and beyond to make the process simple for us.

She also helped us with our condo purchase in Waikiki! Which will be seen on HGTV's show HAWAII LIFE!! It was such a fun experience filming the whole process!! If your an investor, 1st time buyer or selling. Go with Cathy! You will be so happy you found her!! We sure are!

Renee Santiago, Buyer: 2014; Seller: 2018

I met Cathy a couple years earlier but due to personal reasons had to put my search for a home on hold. I was able to try again in 2013. Cathy's professionalism, knowledge, integrity, patience and understanding made her my best and only choice. She was very proactive in keeping me updated on any new prospects & very accommodating with my schedule to view them. She was very knowledgeable and would get back to me promptly when I left a message or had a question. She was very easy to talk to. I never felt like I was alone in the journey to find my new home.

When my condo came up she made sure I was aware and promptly scheduled a viewing. She reviewed the area and made sure the price was comparable and fair. I trusted that she would have my best interests at heart. We discussed a fair and acceptable bid that would give me a highest chance to get the property. Within a week the awesome news, I was accepted. She helped me through the process step by step making sure all deadlines were met so nothing would be delayed. It didn't stop there, after I moved in she was there with congratulations and asked if I needed anything to just call. She continued her above excellent service even after the ink had dried. Cathy is one that I would whole-heartedly recommend to anyone needing a new home and certainly deserves to be recognized and awarded as one of the best.

T. Flannigan CPT, MP: 558th MP CO Commander, US Army, Buyer: 2012; Seller: 2014

Cathy from the start made us feel like we were the only house she was working to sell. During open houses Cathy would go above and beyond as she showed the house or fixed something to help the house sell. Throughout the closing process sure the steps were easy to complete and done on time as not to miss closing.

I used Cathy when I came to the island two years ago. She did such an outstanding and professional job I knew I wanted to list with her to sell. Cathy's knowledge of the market and the growing housing market ensured I received top dollar for my home and another family could enjoy the home.
