Testimonials
Cathy truly went above and beyond in selling my home, and I couldn’t have navigated the process without her. Two months after putting my house on the market, I moved out of state, leaving her to manage everything remotely. She was there every step of the way, facilitating showings, coordinating maintenance and landscaping, and keeping me informed. What truly set Cathy apart was her unwavering emotional support. When negative showing reviews triggered panic attacks, she patiently talked me through them. When hope and faith dwindled, she was the steady voice encouraging me to ‘hang in there’. Preparing my home for sale in my physical condition would have been impossible alone. Cathy not only provided invaluable referrals for every service I needed, but she also personally pitched in when I could no longer manage the work myself. Cathy is more that just a Realtor; she’s a dedicated partner who genuinely cares. Her support made an overwhelming process manageable, and I am incredibly grateful for her relentless effort and kindness. Cathy is a 10++++ and I would use her again in a heartbeat, if I ever moved back to AZ.
We have worked with Cathy a few times and will always return to her for her help. She is knowledgeable and professional in her field. We have referred her to many friends.
Recommendation for Cathy Urgitus, I had the pleasure of working with Cathy during our search for a new home, and I can confidently say that she was an outstanding Realtor. From the very beginning, Cathy demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience, and knowledge of the local market. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and provided us with a curated list of homes that met our criteria. Throughout the entire process, Cathy was always available to answer our questions and offer valuable insights, ensuring that we were making informed decisions every step of the way. What really stood out to us was Cathy’s dedication to making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. She was proactive, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to meet our needs, whether it was negotiating on our behalf or guiding us through the paperwork. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we owe it all to Cathy. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and personable Realtor, I highly recommend working with HER!
Over the years we have purchased and sold over 20 properties. Cathy is one of the best Realtors we’ve used. She makes a client feel like they are her only client. Her attention to detail remarkable. When there is an obstacle, she overcomes it with her experience and creativity. Honesty, integrity, resourceful. I cannot recommend her more highly.
Cathy was great to work with on all levels. We did end up moving back to our home state of Colorado instead of buying a home in Arizona but so appreciated Cathy’s time and knowledge of the Prescott and Prescott Valley area.
Cathy Urgitus is great at real estate! Great! Cathy U. is knowledgeable, confident, proactive, and communicative. She advises on issues that I had not considered. Cathy U. was very optimistic about my purchase and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Cathy is top-notch Realtor who really listens to her client’s needs and wishes. She found a wide variety of properties that met my requirements in different ways, giving me plenty of choices, and was so patient as I wavered back and forth. She was always cheerful and helpful through closing and beyond. I can’t imagine a better Realtor to have on your team!
Absolutely honest, totally dedicated to serve her client in the best possible way. Very good at giving suggestions to her client to help them in the buying and selling process. She’s done both for us. The best agent we could have had.
We had been attempting to purchase a new home for a few years with no luck when one of our good friends/amazing PHX Realtor interviewed various Prescott Realtors for us and found Cathy Urgitus, and what a huge difference that made! Her professionalism, knowledge and reliability can be hard to come by these days making her the only Realtor in the areas that I would recommend. Cathy is always so well organized. She provided great information package that helped guide us through the process, which was helpful since it had been awhile since our last home purchased. She kept us well informed throughout all stages of the home buying process. Sometimes she gave us information about a home before looking at it, saving us time and helping us to hone in on spots that were right for us without wasting our energy. She is very knowledgeable about Prescott and the surrounding areas, as well as all the different styles of homes found in those areas. She not only looks out for your best interests but also goes the extra mile so that you have the most information available. This helped us feel more comfortable in making such an important purchase without any pressure. I am so glad that she helped to get our questions answered so that we were able to feel confident about our decisions because we love our new home. Thank you Cathy!
Cathy was totally honest, very dedicated to helping us with the process of buying and selling. She’s helped us with both situations. She was excellent in making suggestions to ensure the process went smoothly. She was very protective of us in areas where we were naïve. All in all the best possible person we could have had as an agent.
Everything evolved so seamlessly. Her professionalism as a Realtor surpassed any other Realtor that we have worked with, and there have been many. From the moment we stepped into her office, we were impressed with her organization and real estate knowledge.
It is also important to mention that I sent my brother (who moved to Chino Valley before we did), to Cathy to help him buy a house. He also quickly found a house and was extremely satisfied with Cathy’s expertise and professionalism.
Cathy is personable, reliable, knowledgeable and very supportive to her clients. We were glad that she was willing to stick with us for nearly a year and half, to meet all of our needs with all of our changes.
We highly recommend Cathy Urgitus and feel confident that anyone would have the same experience.
Your very satisfied customer,
Cathy Urgitus did an excellent job in helping us find the perfect home, and we highly recommend her. She is honest, responsive, professional, and extremely helpful in every aspect of the process. She is always eager to share her knowledge and experience of this part of Arizona, and her advice was paramount in the house we ultimately chose to call Home.
Being new to the area we needed someone who could handle our ground game in a sellers market. Since we were a days travel from Prescott our representative needed to be able to react to the market conditions on short notice. We discussed and visited various neighborhoods and communities to get a feeling of where we wanted to relocate to. With Cathy’s expertise and insight we narrowed the targets to 3 or 4 communities/areas with a list of items we needed to check all our boxes in our relocating strategy. When a property came up that met our criteria Cathy was able to react with dispatch and secure us an opportunity to purchase in front of the herd and counseled us thru the process so we paid the minimum amount to secure the property of our selection. We were successful and Cathy assisted us thru the acquisition process keeping our interest at the forefront. When negotiations where required she secured our interest and made sure we did not get taken advantage of especially with due diligence and follow thru by all parties which she managed with the utmost efficiency and affect. Her service did not stop at the close of escrow, she continued to be a resource for our integration info the community and will always be a friend and resource that we have grown to depend on.
We wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all your help in assisting us with purchasing out new forever home here in Prescott.

We consider Cathy our friend and we highly recommend her services!
Cathy did an outstanding job of communicating with us about our listing in Prescott. Because we were out of state we depended on Cathy’s expertise to know the market and local real estate trends. We also relied on Cathy’s team of recommended contractors to help us prepare our home for sale. She would check on the house and make sure everything got done right and that the house looked show ready at all times. Cathy’s follow-through made the process of selling our home much easier and in fact, we couldn’t have done it without her. We highly recommend Cathy as an expert in real estate in Prescott and the surrounding areas. She knows the business and will work as hard as it takes to get to the finish line.
We were referred to Cathy Urgitus in May of 2019 and could not be happier with the referral. We found her to be highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She is also highly personable with an engaging personality.
We sold our home in WA last year and knew we wanted to move to Prescott and like most buyers, knew exactly what we wanted, where we wanted to be, etc. Cathy graciously showed us around to the areas that we thought would be suited to our needs and wants. She did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs.
She knows Prescott and the surrounding areas like the back of her hand. There is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to property for sale in this area.
She listened as we went along and then suggested that we take a look into the Chino Valley area, both of us were very hesitant but we agreed and we are extremely thrilled with not only her suggestion, but the house we ended up with, a new built. It could not have been a better fit for the both of us.
Cathy absolutely loves what she does and takes great pride in her work and with her clients. She is professional, knowledgeable, fun to be around and always looks out for her client’s best interest. We both not only recommend Cathy as a Realtor but do so to anyone who is looking to move here. We are happy owners in Chino Valley.
We are pleased to recommend Cathy to anyone. She is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again, she will be our first choice in real estate agents. In addition, Cathy provided us with all of the office supplies, maps, utility companies, etc., for the area we were interested in.
Thank you, Cathy for all that you do!
About four years ago, I decided that I would like to retire in Arizona. I didn’t want Phoenix too hot there. So, I decided to look in the Prescott area. As it happened Code of The West Realty contacted me. Cathy Urgitus would be my agent. I explained that I was looking in the area and I wasn’t ready to buy at that time and it would be awhile before I was. She sent me the MLS everyday. In the meantime, I met the love of my life, we got married, sold my mobile home and now had the money to seriously look. My wife and I would look at properties and would contact Cathy to set up appointments to look them. We live in San Pedro, CA, so we would load up the car, leave at 2:00 am, go look and drive back.
One property was in a flood zone and she advised us before we made the trip, so we scratched that property. Then on Friday afternoon we saw the house. We asked if we could see it and four others. Well, on the way home we agreed we both like the “house on the hill”. We sent a text to Cathy and asked her to put in an offer. Ten minutes later she texted back saying that it was accepted. Cathy looked out for our best interest throughout the whole process. Setting up the home inspection, well inspection, water testing. This was all new to us being from L.A. She was very patient explaining the NEW WAY OF LIFE we would be living. She truly has the client’s best interest at heart. My wife and I just love Cathy and all the hard work she put in.
Sincerely yours,
What a whirlwind two weeks, it was from when we first met Cathy Urgitus to when we closed on our condo in Prescott, AZ.
We are seasoned home buyers, this being our 19th. It would be difficult to name other Realtors we have worked with who could have accomplished what Cathy did in so short a period of time. She is professional, knowledgeable, approachable.
In addition to “making it happen”, Cathy has not stopped just because we closed on our condo. She has given us names of local contacts that she has personally worked with in the various trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical for example). Cathy is quick to answer our questions no matter the subject.
A potential buyer/seller could not go wrong using Cathy as their realtor. In fact, it would be the right choice to make.
It was such a nice experience working with you. Not only were you very professional, knowledgeable, but you were always looking out for our best interest. I would highly recommend you to others; Family, friends and just when I hear that someone wants to move to this beautiful area. We love our home!!
Sincerely,
We decided on a home in Tucson. Casey and I both t hank you for your help in searching the Prescott area. You, above all Realtors we met, did the best job representing your community and profession. (I mean that sincerely; that’s not a platitude!)
I will recommend you to anyone I know who is looking for a home in the Prescott area. I hope our paths will cross again in the future. You are definitely invited to use my email as a testimonial. I wouldn’t have said if if it weren’t true. Share it with your other Realtors and managers – let them strive to provide the same level of excellence!
It is our pleasure to recommend Cathy Urgitus for anyone searching for a home. We moved to the Prescott area out of state and had no referrals at the time for an agent.
Due to the strong sellers’ market in Prescott Valley, it was a challenge to find the right home for us and be able to make a successful bid while competing with other buyers.
We found Cathy to be highly attentive, as if we were her only clients. She returned all phone calls, emails, and text messages. We never felt neglected. She provided us with invaluable help negotiating the final terms of our home purchase.
We are pleased to recommend Cathy as she is a straight shooter, is always looking for ways to assist in the home buying process and is a consummate professional with a very extensive knowledge of Prescott Valley and Prescott.
Sincerely,
Two years ago I was requesting “Prescott Retirement Information” from the Chamber of Commerce. I received publications, etc. and a handwritten postcard from Cathy Urgitus from Code of The West Realty. After six months and six handwritten postcards from Cathy, I contacted her to meet and discuss with us relocating at some time in the future. She was everything my husband and I wanted in a Realtor; knowledgeable in her field, there for us with answers to our questions and patient for a year while we searched for the perfect property. She helped us in sorting out the area we wanted to build our retirement home, she knew land (the good and the bad), and Cathy always found the answer we needed. She handled the paperwork in a timely manner and kept us under contract. It helps that since the day we met she has felt like friend and family, and we will continue to think of her in that way. Cathy, Mike and I can’t thank you enough.
My husband and I purchased land for the first time this year and I am so grateful Cathy Urgitus was the realtor we worked with.
Cathy was open and honest from the very beginning and provided us all the information she had about the property. When our offer was accepted, she provided us with an overview of the purchasing process and a reasonable expectation for how long it may take.
Cathy responded to our questions promptly and her answers were clear and easy to follow. We were able to complete almost all of our paperwork by email which made the process very convenient for us.
We first met Cathy in December of 2018 and closed on our property in January of 2019! She made this process very quick and easy for us, I would recommend her to anyone!
I appreciate how knowledgeable you were. You saw things I never would have or did.
Thanks for your guidance.
Cathy, we thank you for all your help you provided both during our search for an affordable home and then of the house we found to relocate to Prescott.
The line of communication during the whole process was very comforting, since we were still living in San Diego. The closing went smooth with our new home.
Your additional assistance you gave us while we purchased items and many questions from the Roses, was very helpful too.
Thank you again and we will not hesitate to recommend you!
I would like to introduce you to Ms. Cathy Urgitus, of Code of The West Realtors:
We started our search in March 2018. We were primarily interested in finding a new home to retire after owing several business’s, finding, renovating or building nine (9) homes over the past 48 years, in California, Nebraska and Texas. We were lucky enough to meet Cathy online and after several phone conversations, finally got together in person in Prescott Lakes in May.
What fantastic good luck for us! She is a delight. Knowledgeable, Thorough, Smart, Well connected, Helpful in every way imaginable. Just plain wonderful.
We defined our minimum and maximum search parameters. Cathy matched them all. She showed us everything available but alas nothing yet fit the bill. She kept looking and looking. Finally a match. Then she really began to shine. She lined up a home inspection. She helped us with connecting with mortgage banking. She pointed out savings to us with a bridge loan plan as several of our other properties had not yet sold. Cathy got us a great Escrow/Title Company.
Cathy recommended a mover she and her husband have known for 30 years. Our move was stress free and went incredibly well. She recommended two handymen that constructed space in the new garage for our Wine Cellar and second refrigerator, all prior to move in. She helped us with the local HOA we needed to work with.
Cathy hooked us up with local Country Club we wanted to join. She sent me advertisement for a used golf cart I was looking for. She provided a list of all utilities and phone numbers. She gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants. Never ending help. We love her.
Please call me or my wife Donna (949-456-4025), if you have any questions whatsoever ..
My husband and I cannot rave enough about our experience with Cathy Urgitus at Code of The West Realty. Within 24 hours of putting our house up for sale in Prescott Valley, Arizona, we were in escrow and had 3 escrow’s going at one point. She was exceptionally organized, professional and did everything quickly. She made a book of all the paperwork for all three transactions at the end that we loved because it was so clear, concise and organized. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience when selling our house and vacant land, along with buying land with Cathy, all at the same time. We have already referred Cathy to a friend and she sold and closed on their house very quickly. We will keep referring Cathy, 100%.
I was very thankful to have Cathy Urgitus as my Realtor. I live in California and had to put my mother in a nursing home in Arizona, plus sell her home. Cathy did all the research on the home since I was no longer familiar with the area. The home sold within the range Cathy thought it would.
Cathy was very good at keeping my up to date on everything, even helped with things in the house that she wasn’t responsible for. After, I went to California, she went over all the paperwork over the phone with me, page by page. She was very thoughtful of the stress I was under and the house sold in a timely manner.
I’ve moved around several times and she was the best Realtor I’ve ever dealt with. If, she didn’t know the answer to a question she made sure to find out for me. I would highly recommend her to my closet friend.
We would like to thank you for all your help. You are awesome at finding the right property for your clients (us)! With all the changes in Real Estate, you are always on top of things. There were so many questions, that we didn’t know we had, until you had the answers for us. Thank you! You always go above and beyond. With all the properties we have brought and sold, nobody has ever gone to closing with us. We truly appreciate everything you have done for us. We couldn’t thank you enough.
Our experience with Cathy was the best experience we have had. You have a “real” care for your clients and you “Listen” to their likes, dislikes, and concerns. You are a true professional and work above and beyond for people and your clients. We are extremely pleased with our home and will recommend Cathy Urgitus to anyone who needs a “GREAT” Realtor and “FRIEND”.
“WE LOVE CATHY”
When we decided to really be interested in buying a house in Prescott, we chose Cathy to help us find it. 1st thing she did was show us all around Prescott and Prescott Valley. We were amazed at all the things to see, activities. It took us 2 trips to find our dream home. Cathy gave way over 110% the whole time, she posted houses for us everyday, even sometimes at 2:00 am in the morning. We kidder her, “Don’t you ever sleep”. The escrow went smoothly, she worked closely with our Realtor in Calif, while our house was in escrow here. I would highly recommend Cathy to any of our friends to help them have a smooth turnover.
Bill and I say BIG; “Thank you”.
Cathy was fantastic to work with. She really knows what she’s talking about and is a strong negotiator. I highly recommend her to any buyer wanting an expert in the real estate market.
This is a letter of recommendation/review for Cathy Urgitus, of Code of The West Realty, from our experience in purchasing a home in Prescott Valley, AZ during 2017.
We found Cathy to be patient, honest, helpful, and very knowledgeable realtor. She took us to see many homes that we had found online, as well as some that she recommended, according to our requirements. One unique aspect of how she approaches helping buyers new to the area build a “mind map”, is taking them on an extensive tour of the cities.
Cathy’s business experience, as both an escrow officer and a realtor, gives her valuable insights into the various processes and cost of purchasing a home. She is a wonderful communicator and kept us informed of all the key steps, especially ones which required our signatures and/or money expended.
We only have great things to say about our experience with Cathy Urgitus and we’re very pleased we found her to help us in our search for a new home. We would highly recommend Cathy Urgitus to anyone buying or selling a home in the Tri-City area.
When we came to AZ to look for a new home, we only had one week to do it all. Cathy was great, she showed us everything that was available, showed us all of the surrounding areas and she came and got us a few times when we got lost. She helped us find a great home! I’m sure she will do the same for you.
I highly recommend Cathy as a buyer’s agent. Her follow-up and follow-through in addressing all my questions and concerns during this process were above and beyond. She is knowledgeable, personable, and thorough, with great attention to detail. I could not have asked for a better-home buying experience.
Wonderful and helpful … Never gave up on us!!… We couldn’t of done it without Cathy! Love her.
I am very happy to give a letter of recommendation for Cathy Urgitus with Code of The West Realty. Cathy sold (2) houses for my family within a year and a half. She made us feel like we were the only client she had. Our (2) two homes sold in record time! For me personally, in October 2016, I was recently widowed. My family lived out of state and I was completely alone for packing and knew so little about the “business formalities”. Knowing nothing about selling property, Cathy treated me like her own Mom. She even helped pack. She was professional in every way, as well as kind, patient and personable. I highly and joyfully recommend Cathy Urgitus to anyone as a first choice.
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and the fantastic job you did in selling my house. You are “One in a Million”. No other Realtor did all the hard work that you did to accomplish the sale. I would highly recommend you to anyone. If, you can’t sell a place, then no one can.
We recently moved to Arizona from northeast Michigan and knew no realtors here. Cathy had somehow gotten our name and address and had written us a couple notes offering her assistance should we decide to make the move. So, we contacted her and are so happy that we did! From start to finish, Cathy was both personable and professional. We gave her our wish list, and she showed us properties that fit our criteria, never hinting that we should consider one house or neighborhood over another, but being totally objective. When we were anxious, she was calm and reassuring. She helped us successfully negotiate our contract with the sellers and followed up promptly on things that had been promised to be done before our move. She dotted all the “i’s” and crossed all t he “t’s”, and the result is that we got the house we wanted and hopefully have made a lifelong friend in the bargain. Thanks, Cathy!
I would give Cathy five stars across the board, no hesitation. She was wonderful to work with in every facet of the process. We were out of state clients so we relied on her knowledge of the area and her expertise in navigating the real estate laws of Arizona. Her help included providing a list of lenders, helping to secure a bridge loan, even enlisting a neighbor to periodically turn on the water system to maintain all the plantings!
And of course, Cathy helped make the search process fun, even when it seemed we would not find the right home. But we died, and Cathy’s guidance we were able to purchase a great property at a great price. She was there at every step and I cannot imagine having a better overall experience.
Kind, professional, knowledgeable, honest, responsive, sense of humor, took several years but I couldn’t have done it with out her. I am from out of state, had property to sell, that took 2 years. Cathy followed up regularly and provided constant encouragement. She knows the industry, had resources and information readily when needed. I highly recommend her!
Her help with movers for the unload worked flawlessly. Snacks and refreshments were there when we opened the door. We received first class service all the way through the process.
Responsiveness to clients’ needs is the hallmark of an excellent agent, and you have the quality in spades. A phone call to you at any time of the day seemed to never be an inconvenience to you. I’m not sure how you did it, but you always made us feel like we were the only clients, you were dealing with at the time.
Therefore, the litmus test for any relationship like this is measured by whether or not buyers would use their agent’s services again in the future, or perhaps recommend their agent to others. As for us, the answer is a resounding “YES”!
Please know that we were – and for years to come – greatly blessed by your efforts. On many levels, we’re better people for
having known you, Cathy. Again, our heartfelt thanks to you
Cathy, thank you so much, for all your great service and how professional you’ve been through-out this whole process of selling our home! We think you went above and beyond to help us and to keep us informed during the sale! Even, helping us to post and sale the stuff we didn’t want to move with us!
Again, “Thank you”, and keep up the good work, you’ll go far doing for others, as you have done for us!!
Having known the caliber of work ethics that Cathy Urgitus portrayed and the wide range of knowledge she had in handling the title searches and closing of previous properties of ours during her longevity with a previous title company in Arizona, there was no question when we heard she was entering the real estate field, that we were going to list our Dewey residential-rental property with her. Cathy inspected the condition of the property, advised us of repairs that needed to be done, suggested a variety of professionals that could get the job done and done in an appropriate manner, and followed up with the work being done.
We live out of state, so therefore we depended on Cathy to keep us current on all aspects of the sell of our place, even taking our late night calls and inquiries. She assured us that she would not only have our best interest in mind, but all parties that would be involved. She was assertive and informed herself of any and all demands that would be made from numerous entities in order to close this property. Cathy is efficient, a mover, and goes above and beyond to get the job done and done right. We were very pleased at the quickness in which she closed the sale of our recent property, and it sold at the suggested price she thought it could bring.
Our property investments cover residential, rentals and ranch land. We would definitely use Cathy’s services again and highly recommend her to prospective sellers and buyers alike. They can be assured that every detail will be taken care of with a positive, professional, and knowledgeable attitude by Cathy Urgitus of Code of The West Realty. Even the firm’s name suggests fairness and honesty.
