Record low inventory, interest rate spikes, geopolitical uncertainty and other secular events, all on the heels of a global pandemic, have brought new challenges to buyers and unprecedented opportunities to sellers. I have helped buyers achieve their dreams despite these obstacles and led sellers to accomplish extraordinary success.  Let's put together a strategy that works for you!

It is my great pleasure to help people make intelligent, informed and strategic decisions about buying and/or selling a home. My clients’ best interest is always at heart as we consider both the financial and personal factors that intricately drive the process.

-  With 20 years of real estate sales at William Pitt Sotheby’s, working successfully through all types of markets, I have the experience, expertise, market savvy and keen negotiation skills necessary to guide your financial decisions.  You need this more than ever in 2025!

- My strong business background, which includes a decade on Wall Street and an MBA in Finance from New York University, positions my clients to achieve the highest return on their real estate investments.  A former Senior Vice President at Bank of America, I am client focused, astute at assessing risk, and creative about finding solutions … all necessary in today’s fast paced market!

- A very involved parent of three, an active volunteer, a lover of pets, a beach enthusiast, a pickleball player, and a local homeowner for more than 20 years, I am well attuned to the non-financial side of homeownership.  My 14+ years of leadership service and mentorship with Girl Scouts of the USA and my dedication to local parent groups, including a very active role on the board of the Music Parents Association and board-level positions in the PTA and PTA Council, are evidence of my commitment to the community.  I understand the comfort of home after a long workday, even when it’s work-from-home, and the benefits of finding the perfect haven where a family can flourish.  

- Individual attention is important.  I listen to my clients’ needs and we collaborate to craft solutions that work. What’s the best way to get your offer accepted? How can we get the most money on your sale?  I do not try to fit everyone into the same box.  Instead, at any one time, I focus my full attention on a small number of clients to ensure that their unique needs are met. Once again in 2024, I was voted a “Five Star Real Estate Agent” by clients and colleagues and I acheived Gold status for dollar volume sales. Nothing makes me happier than a highly satisfied clients!  

Contact me today and we will get this done!  Isn’t it time to realize your dream?

Testimonials

Cathy has helped us with 3 different real estate transactions in the last 4 years. She is truly incredible and such a pleasure to work with. We especially appreciate how communicative she is and also her attention to detail. Her marketing of our last home sale was truly flawless and helped secure an accepted offer well above our list price, in addition to helping us find our forever home. Real estate can be tremendously stressful, but Cathy does her best to make it a breeze for her clients. Would recommend her to literally anyone.

Cathy Carrano is an excellent broker, which is why we have used her more than once. She did an excellent, very thorough job in marketing our home and in handling the prospective buyers who came to see it. We could not have been happier with the outcome. Over the last 15 years Cathy has also helped us to find very competent Sotheby's brokers through whom we purchased homes in Puerto Rico and Dallas - Cathy is a credit to Sotheby's and truly a full service broker.

Cathleen and Charles King

Cathy C. was extremely helpful, informative, and thorough throughout our home buying process.

Robert Nasso and Medeline Heusted

We first engaged Cathy almost 15 years ago. She rented and then sold our first CT house and was our agent when we purchased our second. Cathy also was our agent when we purchased a condo for my parents. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional as well as wonderfully easy and pleasant to work with. Cathy is clear about the process and very responsive to all concerns and requests, listening very carefully to us about our needs to make the process as efficient and painless as possible. She has excellent negotiation skills and gave us thoughtful advice throughout that process. We recently moved to our CT home full-time and Cathy is still responsive (years later!) in answering questions about things like movers and storage facilities - truly a full service real estate professional.

Cathy Woods-King

We can’t say enough how happy we were from start to finish with our realtor, Cathy Carrano. She gave us great advice on what to update to help us sell our house fast, and it worked since we sold it within 3 days! She was there to answer every question and worry that we had and to help guide us through selling our home. She is extremely organized and always on point. Don’t hesitate to call Cathy if you are looking for a realtor, it will be the best decision you make! Mark and Kathy Doherty

Mark and Kathleen Doherty

We couldn't be more pleased with the support and guidance we had with Cathy Carrano representing us with the sale of our home in Fairfield. Cathy was not only professional and well experienced in her field, she was personable and so very helpful with making the process as seamless as possible. She certainly does her research and follows through from start to finish. We are extremely satisfied with how our home was represented and marketed by William Pitt/Sotheby's International Realty and highly recommend Cathy for anyone looking to sell or buy a home!

Anthony and Ellen DiLeo

We were extremely pleased with our experience with Sotheby's and would absolutely refer both our agent and the agency to friends for their own home purchases.

Nathaniel and Colleen Probert

Cathy Carrano is the only person I would ever want to sell or buy a house with (and we’ve done both). She is awesome!
