During their recent annual meeting at Farmstead Golf and Country Club, Sussex County Association of REALTORS® named Catherine Kut REALTOR® of the Year for 2024.
The winner of this respected award is chosen annually by a committee of REALTOR® peers. The criteria for being named REALTOR® of the Year include involvement in the Sussex County Association of REALTORS®, National Association of REALTORS®, community and humanitarian service activities, business accomplishments, and overall REALTOR® spirit.
About the REALTOR® of the Year Recognition
According to Emily Bowden, Executive Officer for the Sussex County Association of REALTORS®, “The REALTOR® of the Year is a person that gives of themselves. They do not look for compliments, they do not announce what they do or wait for someone to ask of them. They volunteer, they help others…What they do comes from their hearts. Cathy exemplifies the good that REALTORS® stand for.”
Doug Radford, Broker/Owner of Realty Executives Exceptional REALTORS®, could not agree more. “I speak on behalf of the entire organization when I say that we are immensely happy to see Cathy recognized by SCAR,” said Radford. “Not only is she an amazing mentor and sales agent, but she is an amazing lady. Cathy is not the braggadocious type, but she puts 110% toward everything. She has done so much in the local community and agent community and fully deserves this honor.”
Getting to Know Cathy Kut
A resident of Sussex County since 1974, Cathy has never been known to sit idle. She received her real estate license in 1986 and has seen significant professional success, amassing dozens of awards from New Home Sales to Five Star Professional Awards to NJ REALTORS® Circle of Excellence.
Outside of business, Cathy dedicates hours of her time to numerous community activities such as the annual United Way Chili Open Golf Outing, Lake Mohawk German Christmas Market, and Boy Scouts of America’s Tribute to Women’s Banquet. She has been a member of the Board of Directors for Sussex County Big Brothers & Big Sisters, United Way, the Chamber of Commerce, among others. However, in the true and humble Cathy style, she says her greatest achievement is her family. Her three sons and six grandchildren are what she calls her “shining stars.”
