A consummate professional, she is respected for the unparalleled level of commitment and discretion she provides. Cathy is the broker specialist at 720 Park Avenue and 1175 Park Avenue, and is well known for her marketing and deal-making prowess that often leads to record-breaking sales of luxury cooperatives, condominiums and townhouse mansions in all Manhattan neighborhoods.

While many of her deals get press attention, so have Cathy’s own homes. Passionate about historic architecture, she and her husband Jeffrey Baker, an Executive Managing Director and Board Member of Savills LLC, reside in a landmarked 1886 townhouse they exquisitely restored and share with their three sons: Otto, who attends Harvard College and twins Alex and William, who attend The Hotchkiss School. The family also owns a period 1806 Georgian home on a 90-acre farm in the Hudson Valley. Cathy is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Wellesley College with a degree in Art History and Political Science. She loves her Carnegie Hill community where she enjoys running the reservoir and walking her two Australian Shepherds in Central Park daily, socializing with good friends and dining at great restaurants in the area.
