Cathy Sotherland, ABR, CNE 

                         Owner, Broker of the Real Estate Group, Hot Springs Properties, Inc.

    I was born and raised in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, Il.  In 1980 my new husband and I, longing for a less hectic and more peaceful life became "urban refugees".  We researched our options and finally decided on the Southern Black Hills, because of the  semi-arid and mild temperatures throughout the year, yet only an hours drive to snow skiing and snow mobiling in Lead. The Hills features something for everyone from Deadwood's historic gaming town, Keystone's Mount Rushmore and located only minutes to Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park and thousands of acres of Black Hills  National Forest Service land. After all of these years, I am still in awe everyday, realizing we found everything we were ever looking for and more! If you are looking for a place like this, look no further. I would love to help you find your perfect place in the Hills!

    After graduating as one of the top studets of my class at Western Dakota Institute, I was extremely fortunate to have been trained personally by one of our regions top Realtors, Keith Carlyle, while he was setting up what is now one of the fastest growing and most respected Real Estate Franchises in the Black Hills, The Real Estate Group, Inc.  In 2008 I was the top listing Agent in Hot Springs and I am also a Accredited Buyers Representative, and a Certified Negotiation Expert. I am a dedicated and hard working Realtor, believing communication is essential in my relationship with my clients.  I strive to exceed your expections until we find exactly what you are looking for, even if it is not my listing. With the right Realtor, dreams really can come true!

.                           Broker Associate, The Real Estate Group, Hot Springs Properties Inc.

    Jonathan Uhl was born and raised in Hot Springs South Dakota. He attended Jamestown College in Jamestown, North Dakota and currently is purusing a degree in Humanities with an emphasis in business and the fine arts. While attending college, Jonathan began to invest in real estate, educating himself on basic as well as complex real estate strategies. Jonathan is an associate member of the Appraisal Institute, graduated from Dakota West School of Real Estate, and is continually advancing himself in the real estate business.

    Jonathan states “The true goal of a top real estate agent is to make sure the process can go as smoothly as possible. It can be such a simple and enjoyable process if you have a hard working agent at your side. Clients need an agent who they can trust, an agent who cares personally about every client they represent. That's my standard...”

    I fell in love with real estate while I attended Jamestown College. Starting as an invester and feeling frustrated with some of the real estate agents I worked with, I decided to become a real estate agent who does not just sit in the office and wait for that call. I personally make a promise to all of my clients that I will do everything I possibly can... no matter what the job entails.

    As a real estate agent I strive to make sure that the process of buying or selling goes as smoothly as possible. I pride myself in knowing that all of my clients are kept up to date regarding not only the current market situation, but also the development and marketing of currently listed and soon to be listed properties. Whether you are a buyer looking to purchase your first or last home, a seller selling for the first or last time, it would be a privilage to work hard for you standing right at your side thoughout the whole process.
