We were shopping for property in the area covered by RE/Max Cross Roads for our future use. They showed us exactly what we had described to them in our pre-meeting emails. We purchased the property, met with a contractor they recommended and have subsequently decided to move to that area as soon as our present home is sold.. The decision to move now was based in part on the professionalism and courtesy of Dino and Catherine. While it was not a big estate that we were purchasing, they took the time to make us feel like we were just as important as a major land buyer. We would recommend them to anyone. Less

Dino had our property under contract in four day. Very professional and friendly. If you need your property sold you must give them a call. Thanks Dino Rick and Mary Jo

If I could rate above 5 stars, I would. They are not only extremely knowledgable about the area, and all aspects of real estate, but they are also incredibly good, honest, caring people. I talked (via phone and email) to several realtors when I was looking for property near Dale Hollow Lake in 2008, and Dino and Cat listened the best, and were the most responsive. When I went down to visit, they had a number of properties lined up, with and without homes, and we were able to locate a beautiful piece land that seemed just perfect. Their assistance in negotiating and obtaining a mortage was superb. They provided contacts to get the land improved, and arranged meetings in short order before I left. And then, after I went back home and back to work, they helped me by overseeing getting the land cleared, the drive improved, a gate up, and so on, and over the intervening years have arranged for planting grass, brush-ogging.mowning, and so on. I have recommended them to several people looking for property in the Upper Cumberland and around DHL, with the same great results and feedback from my friends moving down there. Less

Dino and Catherine took us through a unbelievable process. We flew to TN from CT in August. We had a deposit on our house in CT so needed to find a new place ASAP! Dino and Catherine walked through 12 properties with us in just 3 days. We were looking at farms so it took a while and none were close to each other. We found the perfect place and Dino made the deal happen for us. We were so excited. Because we had to head back home to CT Dino arranged a home inspection for us. Everything in TN was all set. However as time drew closer to our CT closing date we knew something was amiss. Yes the deal fell through! Dino kept positive and kept in touch with us as well as the Realtor for the seller in TN. Sending papers back and forth to extend the contract 3 times! Finally in March we got through the closing in CT as well as in TN with Dino doing all of the work here so we wouldn't have to make an extra trip to TN. He was even kind enough to meet us at 10 pm when we arrived in TN to get the rest of the paper work to us. I can say Dino certainly went above and beyond for us and made the transition go as smoothly as possible through a very stressful time. I would recommend Dino and Catherine because I know first hand how hard they will work for you. Less

After working with Mr. Cates, I found that his knowledge included not just real estate and geography, but he seemed to know personally everyone that we came into contact with in several different counties. Any information needed to complete my real estate purchase was at his finger-tips. His expertise has truly made the entire process a pleasure, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

Buying a new place can sometimes be stressful, but Dino and Catherine made it a very pleasant experience. Their knowledge of the area was impressive. They had the answers to all our questions. They are very honest and easy to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

Catherine spent hours patiently driving us around all over Dale Hallow Lake suggesting and showing us properties, finally finding one that my wife and I could both agree on. Their office then helped us through making an offer and closing. They kept after my loan officer the entire time making sure that things were in place. Great!

Dino and Catherine spent a couple of days showing my wife property surrounding their location in Livingston. She had driven to Tennessee to visit various locations and land sites we had picked out using an online seach service. I had to fly into town from Dallas, TX. the following Saturday morning and they then spent the next day and a half showing me the properties my wife had narrowed the search down from . We are trying to relocate to TN from TX upon my retirement and depended upon their knowledge and expertise of land avaialble that matched our criteria. They basically nailed it and we were faced with a choice between two properties. Using their knowledge of the seller's situation we made an offer that was accepted with only one minor adjustment. We are now the very proud owners of a beautiful piece of land that we can hardly wait to start our home upon. We have traveled back several times since closing on the property and still find Dino and Catherine an excelletnt source of information and assistance in finding dependable people to help us with our land improvements. I can say without any hesitation that I trust Dino and Catherine explicitly. If you are looking for a pari of people to help you in any way they can, these are the folks. It is amazing to go around Livingston and speak with the people there and see their positive reaction when we mention Dino and Catherine Cates as the people who are helping us move to town. Less

They did what they said they would do when they said they would do it. They were very helpful while being fair to both parties. Also, they can provide names of people skilled at whatever service you need for your new house.

A year ago we spent a week at Dale Hollow Lake and fell in love with the area. We began looking at property and everyone we talked to advised us to contact Dino & Catherine Cates with Re/Max Crossroads. They were tentative to our request and the next day arranged a viewing of home they felt would meet our needs. The house met all of our expectations and that feeling of "home" was instantly present. As we began the purchase process Dino Cates went above and beyond to assist. We were over 600 miles away and the distance factor would of been difficult if it were not for the Cates personal touches. Even after we purchased the property, the Cates still assisted with personal matters and made the long distance topic a "no issue". Catherine was recently relied upon to find my parents a home and delivered the same personal touches during their purchase. Next to the definition of "good people" you would find the names of Dino & Catherine Cates. I would highly recommend Re/Max Crossroads to anyone looking for real estate in the Upper Cumberland of Tennessee. Less

My wife and I were very particular on what we had been looking for on a get away lake house at Dale Hollow - years (on again, off again) spending time with another realtor and we could not find what we were looking for. Then we switched to Dino & Catherine Cates. They quickly found us 2 great properties - and we eventually settled on 1. Dino & Catherine are a great team, complimenting each other. They worked with the sellers to meet our unique request - that being, a turn-key property - completely furnished and decorated - and at the end of the process both buyer and seller were satisfied with the transaction. Both my wife and I can recommend them highly. Less

Dino & Catherine Cates with Remax Crossroads went above and beyond to help us find a farm that met our needs and price range. They were knowledgeable about the homes that were listed, could answer questions and knew the area people and businesses. We recommend Remax Crossroads for anyone needing to purchase their next home. -Nick & McKenzie Raab
