Working with Catherine has truly been a blessing. Not only have I consulted with her, but my fiancé and I also purchased one of her rehabbed homes, and I’m so grateful we did. I remember her telling me she wanted her homes to feel like a luxury vacation suite because she loves to travel, and she really meant that. The moment we walked in, it just felt different. The details are beautiful, everything flows, and it feels peaceful and elevated. It doesn’t feel like a quick flip. It feels very intentional. As a Black woman making an impact in Chicago neighborhoods, that alone speaks volumes. She’s not just renovating houses, she’s creating spaces people can truly be proud of. You can feel the care she puts into her work. I appreciate her transparency, her vision, and the standard she stands on. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality and someone who genuinely takes pride in what they build.

I have had the pleasure of using Xtra Special Dates for several occasions including Just Because, anniversary and birthday settings. The attention to detail was unbelievable. Things I could have never thought of 🤩. Catherine tends to go above and beyond to make sure your event is Xtra Special. I plan to use for many more events just as you should.

Xtra Special Moments decorated for my 45th birthday and it was beautiful. Everyone deserves to be celebrated and Catherine made sure I felt like it was MY DAY! Thank you

My first real estate purchase was truly life-changing, and working with Catherine made all the difference. As a first-time buyer, I had many questions, but she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and resourceful throughout the entire process. She guided me step by step and made everything feel manageable and smooth. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking to purchase property. If you want someone who truly understands the process and works hard to get you there, she's the one. I also confidently refer clients to Xtra Special Rehab — they get it done!
