Catherine Hawkins
Real Estate Agent
Originally from Dublin, Ireland. I moved to Merrick, Long Island, New York in September of 1986. I eventually bought my first home and settled in Lindenhurst, New York in the Spring of 1995 and raised my family. We moved to Melbourne Florida in June of 2004, just in time for the hurricanes, they were scary. I figured it was a small price to pay for living in paradise. Living in Ireland I was always involved in my community. It continued when I moved to the USA. I have been a volunteer for Meals on Wheels and participated in the building of a Habitat for Humanity home. I have over 25 years in customer service and sales. I hung my license at Pristine Property Group LLC because I heard so many positive reviews about the company itself and the people that work here. We work together to help our clients reach their goals whether it is renting, selling or looking to purchase a home. I look forward to being able to help you attain your goal. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me, I look forward to meeting you and starting our journey together.
“May the roof of your home never fall in…and those within never fall out!
