About Catherine
Catherine never backs down from challenges—in fact, she thrives on them. Known for her client-focused mindset, clear communication, and strong problem-solving skills, Catherine brings confidence, care, and deep local knowledge to every transaction. She has built a reputation for forming meaningful connections with buyers, sellers, and fellow agents alike, and she’s dedicated to helping her clients feel informed and supported every step of the way.
A second-generation REALTOR®, Catherine grew up in Westport and Trumbull immersed in the world of real estate. Her mother worked as a successful agent for over 40 years, and her father designed and built luxury homes throughout Fairfield County. From an early age, Catherine understood the importance of home—not just as an investment, but as a foundation for life. That perspective continues to guide her work today.
Catherine’s experience spans a wide range of client needs, from first-time homebuyers and upsizing families to downsizers, investors, and new construction buyers. Whether helping clients evaluate a renovation, prepare a property for market, or navigate their next move, she approaches each situation with insight, empathy, and practical expertise.
Now a proud Fairfield resident, Catherine lives in the University area with her three daughters. She chose Fairfield for its top-rated schools, coastal charm, walkable neighborhoods, and vibrant community—and she’s deeply involved in local life. Catherine volunteers with the PTA at Fairfield Woods Middle School and supports organizations like Operation Hope and Food Rescue US. In her free time, you’ll often find her hiking at Lake Mohegan, boating on the Sound, or catching a show at the Fairfield Theater Company.
Whether you're buying your first home or preparing to sell a longtime one, Catherine Cardell brings the experience, heart, and hustle to make your next move a successful one.
