Real Estate Agent Caterina Nickerson, SRS, ABR
About
Caterina Nickerson was born and raised in Brevard, NC, and is no stranger to the area. After graduating from Brevard High School, Caterina moved out West and pursued a career in business development and marketing. In 2013, she settled in Dallas, TX where she began her career as a luxury Community Manager responsible for the leasing, marketing, and development of luxury high-rise and mid-rise communities throughout the DFW Metroplex. Her success, experience, and passion for assisting others led Caterina to dive right into a career as a real estate agent representing both buyers and sellers.
Throughout all her travels, Caterina has always called Brevard home and could never find the right place to fill that void. While she loved the relationships and experiences that were made in the big city, she longed to be back in Western North Carolina. Caterina and her husband were finally able to fulfill that longing and made the move back to the Brevard area after being away for 11 years; as she likes to say “The Mountains Were Calling.”
Caterina is proud to call herself a Brevard Native and loves to see the growth that Transylvania County has accomplished. She contributes much of her success to growing up in a small town where sincerity and love of neighbor mean everything. She enjoys sharing her love of the area with others especially when it comes to assisting them in whatever their real estate needs may be.
In her free time, Caterina enjoys being a tourist in her own town by visiting the local shops and sporting her favorite Brevard T’s. She and her husband can also be found hiking, playing tennis (as amateurs), and exploring local wineries.
Whether the mountains are calling you home or leading you to your next stage in life, Caterina offers you a genuine level of dedication and care coupled with a true love of Western North Carolina.
Testimonials
"Caterina was a dream to work with! She understood what we were looking for, provided educated guidance and was unfailing pro-active at every stage of the sale.
Would recommend her to anyone!"
-Kristin Bulpitt
"As newcomers to the Hendersonville area looking to buy a home, we were unfamiliar with the local real estate market and North Carolina real estate sale/purchase requirements. Good friends living in the area had used Caterina Nickerson of Looking Glass Realty and referred her to us. We contacted Caterina and she immediately proceeded to search for a home that met our requirements. She was in contact almost daily and demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the local real estate market and was of great help in helping us evaluate the pros and cons of various homes. After we identified a home we wanted to purchase, Caterina and the closing firm she recommended carefully guided us through the due diligence process. We couldn't be more pleased with Caterina and her company, Looking Glass Realty."

-Garrison Adams
"My experience with Caterina Nickerson and Looking Glass Realty could not have been any better. From the moment we met Caterina, she was professional, prepared, and observant to what my wife and I were looking for in a house. She contacted us three days before a house went on the market stating "I think I found a good one for you." During our negotiations, she had a firm grasp of the market rates and made recommendations on how we could sweeten our deal. She was with us through all of the inspections, in fact I only came at the end of the final inspection for the report since Caterina handled all of the communication and scheduling. Caterina also introduced us to great plumbers, electricians. She made our transition into our home seamless!
The best part is that not only did we find a wonderful realtor in the area, but Ashley and I also developed what we believe to life-long friendships with Caterina and Leo, her husband."
-Scott Alexander

"When I put my house on the market I really wasn’t ready to move. It was time tho and needed to happen. Every time I ran into a wall either emotionally or otherwise either Mary or Caterina would step in and give me the encouragement, support or information I needed to get me through the moment
Wonderful women
Very professional
You’re lucky to have them"
-Christie Tressler
"We had the pleasure of working with Caterina Nickerson on a recent transaction. She was pleasant and accommodating. We would definitely work with Caterina again and highly recommend her services"
-Kimi McBurney
"I have a list of great things to say about Looking Glass and my realtor Caterina! I was a first time home buyer and I felt like I had about as seamless as a buying experience as I could have had. Caterina was extremely organized, patient, and communicative throughout the searching and buying process. The local experience that Caterina brought to the table was fantastic, and following her guidance proved to highlight some great inspectors and contractors I needed pre and post purchase. Additionally, the web portal Looking Glass uses to collect signatures and share documents added a level of ease and accessibility to the process and allowed me to review and sign documents quickly. I'm extremely pleased I had a friend recommend me to them and I'd do the same with anyone else I meet looking to buy in and around Brevard. Thanks again, Caterina!"
-Jonathan Ebert
"Caterina was truly a pleasure to work with. Upon our initial outreach to her regarding our interest, she acted very quickly in researching the land and all details surrounding the sale. She presented all the prevalent facts of not only the land in question but also surrounding areas, and professional opinion regarding value. Her insight was absolutely priceless when making decisions. Caterina clearly explained the entire process to ensure we understood each step involved. Throughout the entire process she maintained excellent communication and assisted in coordinating needs between all parties involved. She kept us on track which helped to ensure we didn’t feel overwhelmed at anytime. We had an unexpected family emergency the week of closing. Caterina was so understanding and quick to communicate changes to make sure we were still able to close. She truly is absolutely amazing and we most certainly will be seeking out her expertise provided any opportunity to work together again."
-Kat How
"Caterina Nickerson is incredible.
She possess intimate knowledge of the the area and can quickly assess what you are looking for. Communicating with Caterina throughout our home buying experience was effortless. She made what can often be an incredibly stressful process enjoyable. She is a professional in every sense of the word. From her management of the transaction to the way in which she carries herself.
We recently closed on a historic home in Brevard, NC. Acquiring this home was not simple, to say the least. Caterina was there every step of the way and every time I needed her, logistically or even for a kind word. “Do not give up Kellyn. We can do this,” she said to me. And she was right.
As a direct result of Caterina’s knowledge and skill, my dream of restoring a historic home has come true. I am honored to have had the privilege to be represented by such an incredible agent. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
-Kellyn Haight
"Caterina was by far the best real estate agent we could have asked for in finding our new home in a "new to us" area of the country. She was always very responsive and available when we had questions or wanted to see a property. She walked us through bidding wars in a very competitive market and we eventually found the perfect home with her expert guidance and calm demeanor. We have already recommended her to some friends looking to move to the area and will gladly continue to do so. You will not be disappointed if you choose Caterina as your agent. She is professional and knowledgeable and we were confident in her ability to guide us well."

"Caterina did an outstanding job marketing our property for us in what could be described as a pretty down market. She took the time to provide us with a realistic market analysis, promote our property to the best venues and media and always kept us in the loop on feedback or things to consider. She took what truly could have been a long sales process, to selling our property before we knew it and at a price we were thrilled with. I can’t recommend her enough for your Real Estate needs. You will not be disappointed."
-Donny Lownds
"I was looking to purchase a home in Pisgah Forest, NC near Brevard, but I didn’t have a realtor in the area. Zillow recommended Caterina Nickerson to me and I’m so glad they did! Caterina is a very likable professional, who helped me get through the whole process and answered my MANY questions. She sent all the paperwork over efficiently and saved it in an online folder system that was easy to use. I have now come to find out that her company Looking Glass Realty is very respected in the area. I highly recommend Caterina!"
-K Walker
"Catarina was able to quickly get my showings booked and share a complete video walkthrough for EVERY house I asked about. My schedule was nuts and I couldn't be in person, but she made buying a house I never even went too a possibility. Her overview was a fair and accurate representation of the property and I felt fully aware of what minor issues existed when I walked in the first time. After the contract was set, she easily kept the closing process on track while repair negotiations were finalized."
-John Donnelly
"Caterina Nickerson is easily the best realtor we've ever worked with. We were only in town for a few days at a time, but she was able to set up multiple appointments during out stays, as well as check out prospective houses that we weren't able to see in person. She took the time to really get to know us and what we wanted in a home. She is an excellent communicator and was extremely helpful in recommending local inspectors and repairs. She went above and beyond for us without hesitation! Not only is she professional, honest, and knowledgeable, she also really cares about her clients as people. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in the area."
-Leslie Cooperman
"Caterina Nickerson was outstanding in helping us find our home in Brevard in Dec'21/Jan'22. We were remote (Florida) for most of the process, including closing. We came in town for a few days and she was able to find some great properties for us to view. Once we landed on a place, Caterina did a fantastic job negotiating the deal and getting us to closing in less than 30 days. Additionally, because we were remote, she went over and above to help us out by meeting inspectors, line up repair people, etc., to ensure we closed quickly and without any issues. We'd highly recommend her and Looking Glass Realty to anyone looking for a place in the Brevard area."
-Ryan Smith

-Jack Plaxco
"We worked specifically with Caterina, who treated us as her own family. She went absolutely above and beyond, making us feel heard, valued and safe. She helped to not only Mitigate a land purchase, but found a rental we could us( belonging to a fellow agent). Pat, as well, must be commended as an incredible agent and very graciously welcoming. Our family is quite blessed to have worked with Looking Glass, a very professional and outstanding outfit in Brevard!! We are better people for knowing them."
-Rachel McMahon
"We just purchased our mountain home with the outstanding help from Caterina Suarez at Looking Glass and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience from start to finish. Caterina was professional, knowledgable, organized, communicative, and honest. We went through the whole home search and buying process virtually and she was prompt in answering all of our (many) questions. She was flexible and made herself available to do all of our walkthroughs, some with quick turnaround time, and sent us detailed videos to make us feel like we were right there with her. We felt VERY taken care of and would highly recommend Caterina to anyone looking for an easy and fun home buying process. Thank you Caterina!"
-Meagan Beauchemin

Very professional and extremely helpful. I can not sing her praises enough! If you are looking to purchase a home, I highly recommended getting her involved in the process."

"As a first time home buyer I was very nervous but with the help from Caterina she made the whole process a breeze. Caterina was able to provide me with all the right steps to complete the purchase of my new home. She is extremely friendly and will go out of her way to help you with all your household questions. In the beginning she was an agent and now I call her a friend."

"Caterina was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable in regards to the ins and outs of real estate and obviously has a strong background.
She was extremely prudent informing me about the finite specifics of how to go about purchasing a home including the the steps to take and the negotiation aspect of the contractual phase
She was beyond on the ball when it came to communicating between the seller and myself as well as the calmness of her approach as she definitely made me feel at ease with the whole process including after closing and moving in.
I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home s she is both kind and efficient as well as good working with others in the real estate community."
