Catherine Otterstein

Realtor®

For some, real estate is just a career, but for others, it's a passion that blends creativity, community service, and personal fulfillment. Joining the real estate industry in 2019 after purchasing her first home, Catherine found immense satisfaction in the thrill of the hunt and the potential for creative updates. With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, she transitioned to real estate to help people in a more lasting and impactful way. Her commitment to walking clients through the complexities of the process and helping them achieve their life and financial goals by investing in the Kansas City market is evident in every transaction.

With over five years in the industry, she brings a wealth of experience and a personal touch to her work. She owns several rental properties and operates primarily in the greater Kansas City Metro area. When her services are needed beyond the metro, she has a network of referral partners to assist. What sets her apart from other agents is her ability to empathize with clients, truly listen to their needs, and provide honest, realistic expectations about the market.

Having grown up in Overland Park and lived in Kansas City for over 25 years, she has a deep connection to the area. She cherishes the sense of community and the rich history of Kansas City, enjoying its preservation through museums and social activities. Her favorite spots include the Lewis and Clark Kaw's Point and the Steamboat Arabia Museum, and she loves dining at local gems like Billy's Grocery and Lulu's Thai Noodle Shop.

Her personal life is just as fulfilling as her professional one. She values spending time with her local family, who are her biggest supporters in the real estate roller coaster. With several nieces and nephews adding joy to family gatherings, she finds her family time incredibly rewarding. In her free time, she volunteers at the local food bank, is a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and enjoys researching her family history, delving into books dating back to the 1700s. She also loves being in nature, walking barefoot in the grass, and growing vegetables and flowers in her garden. When she's not gardening, she's spending time with her chickens, cat, or updating her house with her handy husband.

Her journey in real estate is about more than buying and selling properties; it's about helping people achieve their dreams, building a sense of community, and leaving a lasting impact on the lives she touches.
