“Not only were we first time homebuyers, we were house hunting during an international pandemic and crazy housing market! Through it all, Antoinette put all of our worries at ease, seamlessly walked us through the entire process, answered the million questions we constantly had, and flawlessly handled everything from start to finish. As first time home-owner it was so nice to work with someone that we knew we could trust, always had our best interest in mind, and was so responsive to any and all questions that came up. And she got us the house of our dreams! We could not be more thankful for her and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for their perfect home or wishing to sell!”

“Antoinette is the best! She helped us sell our home, and was a cut above the other agents representing potential buyers. When buyers made an offer and we entered the lengthily inspection phase, the buyer's agent was hardly around and never answered e-mails, but Antoinette was there for everything, and was incredibly responsive and proactive.”

“We used Antoinette Cates to sell our home in Ellicott City this summer and she was outstanding.Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. Antoinette Cates team stood out as the best Ellicott City has to offer: their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings.We spoke with Antoinette Cates and then met with her at our home. She spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Antoinette made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps, like having a pro come and give us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more.When we saw our listing we were blown away. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. I've recommended Antoinette Cates Real Estate Team to everyone I know. She is a true professional. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.”

“This review is long overdue. Antoinette is an absolute expert in the real estate business. She puts her clients first at all times. We have had the pleasure of working with Antoinette on numerous occasions, and each time, we walked away with exceeded results. She even went out of her way to review each document during closing, which led to a few confirming questions for the other agent. This, along with her willingness to humor our numerous off-hours nagging calls, is why you want to choose Antoinette as your agent.”
