Catherine Saravia, real estate agent at Saravia Realty

About Catherine

Real estate with a steady hand.

Born in Staten Island, New York, Catherine moved to California when she was twelve. She started in property management in 1985, the same year she married her husband, Gil. They lived in the Covina area until making the High Desert home in 1999, settling in Victorville. Catherine later graduated from Victor Valley College with a degree in Administration of Justice.

Catherine worked in commercial management for The Abbey Company from 1999 to 2001. In 2003, she earned her real estate license and joined Bear Valley Mortgage as a Loan Officer and Manager, where she received an award from Bismark Mortgage for writing the most construction loans in the High Desert over a twelve-month period. From 2010 to 2012, she returned to property management with MGR Property in Victorville before deciding to go back into sales. She became a broker in 2019 and has never looked back.

Catherine and Gil have two children, Paul and Angela. They now reside in Oak Hills, where they built their own home. Money and titles have never been as important as family, trust, and integrity — values that form the foundation of her business. Her real estate practice has been based 100% on referrals since 2003.

"Catherine helped me buy my first home in 2017 and she also helped me sell my first home this year. She made the process easy for me both times. Although I no longer live near my recently sold property, Catherine made sure I did not have to travel and made it very convenient for me."
