Hello, I'm Joy Catalano, and I'm dedicated to helping you achieve your property goals. As a proud Virginia Beach resident since 1994, I possess valuable insights into the local market and beyond, assisting clients from the oceanfront to Gloucester and everywhere in between. Whether you're seeking beachfront properties, investment homes, or your forever home, my extensive community knowledge is at your service.

Having experienced frequent relocations as the spouse of a retired Navy service member, I empathize deeply with military families and provide personalized support during their transitions. Born in Manila, Philippines, I combine my cultural background with a passion for real estate, effectively communicating with a diverse clientele in both English and Tagalog.

I actively volunteer at St. John The Apostle Catholic Church and support organizations like Samaritan House, Connect a Wish, and Support Our Troops. My commitment to giving back underscores my compassionate nature, and I also enjoy hosting foreign exchange students from South Korea, Spain, and Italy, fostering cross-cultural understanding.

Before my real estate career, I held senior positions at both Navy Federal Credit Union and USAA, which further cemented my knowledge of military culture. Beyond real estate, my love for gardening is more than just a hobby; I delight in cultivating various flowers and creating beautiful outdoor spaces. My green thumb and attention to detail extend to the kitchen, where I enjoy experimenting with different recipes and infusing creativity and flavor into my cooking. My culinary skills often enhance client interactions, as I host amazing open houses with delightful homemade refreshments.

Licensed since 2010, I am a proud multi-year recipient of the HRRA Circle of Excellence Award. My multifaceted background and genuine care make me an outstanding choice for all your real estate needs. Let's give a warm Howard Hanna welcome! Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I am the agent who will guide you with expertise and joy!
