I believe that when you have someone to guide, support, and partner with you during a significant life transition, it’s more likely you’ll achieve your financial, timeline, and housing goals with less stress and more success.
Cathi Coridan
Senior Home Coach™
My goal is to help save seniors and their families time, stress, and money when buying/selling real estate by creating and executing a custom, concierge plan to meet each client’s housing needs, timeline, and financial goals.
I work as a coach and trainer with agents with a heart for serving seniors, and as a referral real estate agent for people around the US and Canada who want to be connected with an agent who serves seniors at my signature levels of Excellence & Empathy.
In this introduction section, I share my strong-held beliefs about how seniors need to be cared for as they make later-life housing transitions.
My Underlying Belief:
- Seniors Deserve the BEST!!
My Promises:
- My clients’ needs always come first.
- I focus on all the aspects of a senior’s life transition, not just the property transaction
- I believe in being a partner, not just a real estate agent
- Other Partners I bring into the process are able to be trusted in their work with my senior clients
- Things change and challenges happen, so we predict where problems might occur, identify them ASAP and work out a WIN-WIN solution together
- More than just a REALTOR, I support and advocate for seniors in my local community, and across the real estate industry.
I partner with seniors and families who are:
- selling the longtime family home
- downsizing/rightsizing
- moving to senior living communities
- looking for a warmer/cheaper place to live with no grass, yard, stairs, etc.
- moving to be closer to family
- selling the property in a family estate
My partnership is where my clients and their families know they will:
- Feel heard, honored, respected, supported
- Feel valued and cared for during a difficult life transition
- Have access to the best information and resources available in their community
- Understand that while there’s been loss in this transition, there’s promise in it, too.
- Able to see and feel excited about new possibilities
What some of my clients have to say:
Cathi is a true Godsend. Together we navigated a difficult decision to help my 80-plus year old mother-in-law sell her investment properties as her dementia diagnosis progressed. Cathi’s know-how and confidence made the entire process seamless and successful. Her compassion and understanding kept me off the ledge over and over. After my mother-in-law passed away, Cathi’s sage advice and top-notch referrals kept me sane and moving forward as we renovated and sold her home. Cathi truly lives her motto, “Serving Seniors with Excellence and Empathy”. With gratitude, Kathy G., Alexandria, VA
For my husband and me, the need to, and the dream of owning our first home was challenging to achieve. Our family immigrated from Cuba 7 years ago. Coming from a communist country with just no options, opportunities, nor right to choose even on the most basic thing, never mind proper housing.
The unique post-pandemic market conditions, along with our lack of previous experience in such a complex market, put us in need of an expert if we wanted to succeed. All the real estate lingo, necessary paperwork, critical documents, getting a good lending service, and a wonderful huge set of neighborhoods to choose from, it was just a lot to process and really understand. Enter Mrs. Cathi Coridan to our rescue!
We were so blessed to have Cathi as our Real Estate Agent! She took care of us, just like a family member. With great patience, she spent the necessary time to explain the buying process, she guided us and advised us with transparency and integrity at every step of the way. We had questions, a lot of them, and Cathi answered all of them. She even took our calls while on vacation! She provided us with a streamlined, enjoyable, and memorable first home buying experience. We love the lovely property we now proudly call home.
We know that we were more than blessed to have Cathi Coridan as our Real estate agent. We will refer her to all our friends and family in need of a home. Thank you, Cathi, for your service. You are the best! M. Jorge, Allen, TX
Cathi is a true professional, and best Realtor we have ever dealt with. Not only is she expert in the real estate industry, her energy and motivation is boundless. Cathi met with us to discuss the sale of our home, and within half an hour sized up the property, presented an accurate estimate for the market value of the home, and gave us a marketing plan. She worked with us every step of the way to navigate the bureaucratic minutia of inspections, HOA required repairs, government fees, etc. She provided valuable guidance for making the property attractive and appealing. Her efforts made our life easy. The best part is, that Cathi sold the house BEFORE it hit the active market, for MORE than the asking price! Cathi was a God send. We highly recommend her without reservation. Richard & Cynthia W., Columbus, GA
Cathi navigated the incredible journey of selling my old house and buying my new home. I was thrilled with her knowledge, skills and the personal caring that she displayed during the entire process. She has a wide array of additional service providers at her fingertips if you need help with getting your home ready for the market, need assistance in downsizing or moving professionals. I used movers that she suggested, and I was completely satisfied with their moving and storage assistance. Cathi is “one stop shopping” for all of your moving needs. I highly recommend Cathi to anyone who is getting ready to undertake this huge adventure. Cathy W., Alexandria, VA
Training & Coaching Services for Real Estate Agents Working with Seniors
Are you a REALTOR® interested in, or currently working, with Seniors:
- AND you are not quite sure where or how to start
- OR you have tried some things and feel stuck or uncertain about how to move forward
- OR maybe you have a set your goal to become the agent of choice in your senior market?
Serving Seniors is different because selling their home and moving can be part of a complex, and sometimes painful, life transition. As their agents, we provide meaningful support when they feel confused, ambivalent & overwhelmed about selling/moving, have a house full of accumulated “stuff”, and may also be dealing with health, safety, financial & family issues. For
me, this is what makes working with Seniors so very rewarding!
I believe that Seniors deserve the BEST.
My Your Transition Partner (YTP) Model helped me frame, organize, communicate and deliver my senior real estate services with excellence & empathy. I have saved Seniors & their families precious time, stress, money…
Within the first two years, most of my business came to me! Now, I share the YTP model with agents who have a heart for seniors so that business comes to them. Through agents across the US and Canada, I maximize my reach to make a difference in the lives of seniors I will never meet!

The More Success Serving Your Senior Clients course is AWESOME! It provides a comprehensive overview for anyone getting started in this unique niche. At the end of each module, you have time to pause and reflect on the individual lessons and determine how you want to implement the strategies learned. I highly recommend it! Brenda Lawson, Upper Marlboro, MD
Cathi’s background, knowledge and experience comes together in this brilliant course. Pragmatic, how to, step by step process. If you are considering serving seniors, Cathi’s course is a must!

COACHING SERVICES
As a coach, I’m an Accountability Partner Combining Strategic with Tactical Support & Guidance Based on the Your Transition Partner Model (YTP) for Serving Seniors with Excellence & Empathy. My work with agents is based on their definition of success and the goal is to make their work in this industry, Less Stressful & More Successful!
I love to work with agents who are just beginning their senior journey – or – who have started with seniors and want to build to become a go-to agent in their community. It’s energizing and rewarding to watch them use the YTP tools and resources to create a brand experience specifically for their target group of senior clients, and build their network of trusted partners.
It is a real honor and blessing when I can support veteran agents who want to strategically expand their senior-focused business in their communities. Their commitment to excellent service to their clients positions them to grow and become leaders among the senior service industries, connecting people as trusted partners.
The last group of agents I coach are those who are coming into real estate as a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th career, as seniors themselves. The parameters for building a successful business in your late 50s, 60s or even 70s are very different. Strategies need to be developed for what I call a “short run way” for success, where well-defined goals are critical.
My coaching packages are for 3, 6 or 12 months or you can work with me on an a la carte basis. Call, text (469-799-4044) or email me to learn more!

A Little Bit About Me
As a second-generation REALTOR®, Cathi’s work is about creating connected relationships and building partnerships to help people, especially seniors, to successfully navigate one of life’s biggest transitions, the sale or purchase of real estate.
Cathi helps her clients sell and buy real estate with “less stress & more success.” From active-adult downsizers to older seniors moving into assisted living or memory care to families selling a home as part of an estate, she strives to serve her senior clients with Excellence & Empathy. As a member of the Keller Williams’ Real Estate Planner community, she has the tools and training to help clients meet their financial goals and manage and transfer their real estate assets most effectively. Her commitment to personalized service and client advocacy is complete – down to the smallest detail – whether the property is listed for $125,000 or $1,250,000.
Cathi’s experiences and lessons-learned building a successful seniors-focused real estate business inspired her to share her “Your Transition Partner” model by training and coaching agents across the U.S. and Canada who also want to serve seniors at levels of “excellence & empathy”. Training and program development come easily to her. In her career prior to real estate, Cathi designed education programs on local and national levels.
Through her training and coaching programs, Cathi can:
• Serve seniors she will never meet by training, coaching and mentoring agents with a heart for seniors.
• Work to ensure that seniors are treated the way she would, and how she would want her parents treated if they were still alive.
• Help make other agents’ work with seniors more rewarding – personally, professionally and financially.
Cathi advocates for seniors in her North Dallas community by supporting local senior-focused organizations. She is co-founder and co-chair of the national Serving Seniors Real Estate Mastermind & Referral Network, and founder and co-chair of the Network of Real Estate Agents Serving Seniors in North Texas.
She has been married to her husband, Ned Hogan for more than 25 years. Together, they spoil a Westie named Gracie and love to travel by car and cruise ship. In her spare time, Cathi can be found browsing in local consignment stores and estate sales!

The Can Do Chronicles I am a strong believer in the power of stories because they open us up to understanding life, its mystery and its lessons more dynamically. The Can Do Chronicles recounts my changed heart and life following a series of challenging life events that include my husband’s job loss, a long distance move, a hip replacement and six months of chemo. Through the struggle, I discovered grace, gratitude and hope enough that I wanted to share in this book. Most of these events happened over 10 years ago, yet the my Can Do attitude has endured through today.
Writing this book required me to own CAN DO fully, deeply and without hesitation. I believe that I am called to share my story. My hope is that people who read my story and learn about how I was able to knock that well-worn chip off my shoulder will make a connection and find inspiration to focus their lives on what they CAN DO. I want as many people as possible to discover the energy, joy and hope that an attitude of gratitude can bring in a world that is filled with struggles, fears and way too much CAN’T DO!
