Cathy Tong

Getting to Know Cathy!

I am truly an island girl at heart and grew up in Kaneohe. I live the culture of the islands and understand the importance of honesty, loyalty, and sincerity.

I graduated from Mid-Pacific Institute, and from the University of Hawaii Manoa with a Bachelor’s of Education degree, and from Long Beach State with a Masters of Social Work degree. While counseling many children and their families, my listening skills were cultivated and refined. I make it a point to carefully listen to my client’s wants and needs.

For many years, I successfully ran the family business, Paradise Florist, which prospered for 35 years. I harnessed the skills of working hard and persevering to accomplish whatever is needed to achieve success.

Before transitioning to real estate, I worked for another family business, Honolulu Cartridge World, as the VP of sales and marketing. I am currently an active member of many business organizations including the Honolulu Executive Association, Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association, Building Industry Association, and Toastmasters Hawaii. As a member of these reputable groups, I have built a strong network of credible contacts that can assist in your various real estate needs.

I recently married the love of my life and am truly living a dream come true. We have three teenage children and two feisty puppies. For fun? I enjoy hot yoga, crafting, traveling, and playing with my puppies.

When contemplating buying or selling a home, don’t hesitate to contact me. I will use my years of listening skills and strong negotiating skills to help reach your real estate goals. I am committed to effectively guide you through the complex process of buying or selling your home. My ultimate goal is to make sure that you find your dream home!
