Serving residential and luxury homes, waterfront properties, commercial buildings and investment properties, Top Agent Cathy Hay casts a wide net throughout Ottawa, including Rideau Lakes, Perth, Westport, North Dundas, Kemptville, and Carleton Place.

“There are so many synergies between design and real estate,” says REALTOR® and broker Cathy Hay, who represents her clients with a strong awareness of what makes a home special, both inside and out.

Before moving into real estate almost four years ago, Cathy spent 34 years working as an interior designer, including owning her own commercial interior design business. Still registered as an interior designer and certified with a Building Code Identification Number, Cathy now uses her expert background in design to help clients understand what you can do with a home structurally, how long it realistically takes to complete any project, and at what cost.

Giving back to those less fortunate is a top priority for Cathy, who has been involved with Habitat for Humanity for almost two decades. Far beyond her own backyard, she has lead Habitat teams in Honduras, Nicaragua, and elsewhere across the globe. “Being involved with nonprofits gives us all a special purpose,” she explains. One of her main goals for this year is to focus on working with the elderly. “I want to help them transition from a single home to retirement living,” she says. With her design expertise, she has many resources that she uses to help out the elderly community specifically.

With five grandchildren under the age of six, Cathy’s spare time is often spent with her family. She also loves playing golf, snowmobiling in the winter and riding her motorcycle in the summer.
