"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. I firmly believe in this motto, and try to prove it to my clients each day while serving as their trusted REALTOR. After a successful career in facility management, I finally followed my lifelong desire to become a full-time REALTOR 13 years ago, specializing in luxury properties in Horseshoe Bay, as well as waterfront properties throughout the Highland Lakes area. Born and raised in nearby Austin, Texas, my husband and I have owned waterfront property for over 35 years. I continue to strive to stay on top of my game, and hold many advanced REALTOR designations including the coveted Graduate Realtor Institute, the Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist, the Accredited Buyers Specialist, the Seller Representative Specialist, the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, the Real Estate Negotiation Specialist, and the Certified Residential Specialist, an elite group of the top 3% of REALTORS worldwide. I am also a graduate of the esteemed Texas Realtors® Leadership Program and have served in every Director position at my local association, as well as having served on the Board of Directors at the state level. I currently sit on the Professional Standards Committee for the Texas Association of Realtors®, and also sit on the Resort & Second Home Real Estate committee at the National Association of Realtors. My clients say that they appreciate my friendly and welcoming demeanor, my attention to detail, my high level of professionalism, and my excellent communication skills throughout their transaction. My goal is to provide each of my clients with a 5-star experience during their home buying or selling process.

In their words

Cathy, at Horseshoe Bay One Realty, was wonderful to work with. She took her time to find the perfect place for our new home. We had many questions which she always responded timely and completely to. She is a real professional and delightful to work with.

I have worked with Cathy on three closings for our lakefront homes in Horseshoe Bay. She is extremely knowledgeable of local market conditions, very well connected and works very hard to make sure you have a smooth closing! Can't recommend her enough!

Cathy is a rock star! Working with her was such a joy. Her guidance, suggestions and diligent work allowed me to finally make a dream come true and own a home in the Texas Hill Country. If you are looking for a realtor, give her a call. You'll not only get an expert, but likely a friend in the process.

Cathy Ryden with Horseshoe Bay ONE Realty did a phenomenal job for us as buyers new to the Lake LBJ area. She was an absolute professional in all areas and provided an extremely high level of service and support in all phases of the sale. She showed us many properties around the lake and was very patient and knowledgeable. Overall, Cathy Ryden is a fantastic realtor that I couldn't recommend more highly.

Our realtor, Cathy Ryden, was outstanding from start to finish—her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process. She is incredibly friendly, patient, and honest, and her deep knowledge of the local market truly set her apart. She handled negotiations and interactions with other realtors with confidence and professionalism, making everything feel seamless. She consistently went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our home.

Cathy was a delight to work with. She went out of her way to keep us informed and take extra steps to get the sale! We were selling a vacation home out of state and she was there when we could not be. We felt an instant kinship with her and her professionalism was five star. Would recommend her to all!

I have used Cathy to purchase two and sell two pieces of property in the Horseshoe Bay area. Her knowledge of the area is second to none, and she is extremely diligent and never left me wondering about what steps were next. She is a delight to work with.

Update from August 2025: Cathy, thank you so much for all you've done for us with multiple properties down there. We're sad that we can no longer spend quality family time at the lake, but you made every transaction as smooth, stress-free, & profitable as possible. Cathy Ryden at HSB One Realty has done a fantastic job in taking care of all of our real estate needs! We have chosen her as our realtor six times now in the past seven years for land and home purchases and sales, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Highland Lakes area!

Cathy was very great to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we were touring in. Anytime I had any questions she would always respond right away with helpful information. Made it very simple for a first time home owner. I highly recommend her for finding your next home.

Working with Cathy Ryden is always an absolute pleasure! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable, which makes the entire buying and selling process smooth and stress-free. We have trusted Cathy for years—she helped my mom find her condo in Horseshoe Bay and also guided us to our beautiful lake view home in Waterford. So when it came time to sell my mom’s condo after her passing, I knew exactly who to call. Even though we live about 1.5 hours away from Horseshoe Bay, Cathy took care of everything for us. Her attention to detail, communication, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. We are so grateful for her expertise and dedication, and I would recommend Cathy without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Hands down, the best real estate experience we’ve had and we’ve had quite a few. Cathy is professional, knowledgeable, understands the market and knows what it takes to get things done. Her communication is outstanding and her relaxed friendly manner, and sense of humor, make her a pleasure to work with. We felt relaxed from the beginning and completely trusted Cathy to help us achieve the best result possible and that is exactly what happened! Cathy Ryden is a real estate professional you can trust.

We were not in the market to buy a property, but happened upon a newspaper ad for a condo for sale close to where my father-in-law lives. We called up Cathy, expecting to set up an appointment to view the property in the next day or so. Much to our surprise, she said she could be over in five minutes to show the place!!!! From the onset, we were so impressed with Cathy's professionalism, friendliness, and the manner in which she conducted business. She had a way about her which truly made us feel at ease with her from the moment we met her. We did not feel any pressure at all to make a decision about the property. As fate would have it, we decided to put in an offer within hours of seeing the condo. In the days to follow, Cathy made herself available both during and after business hours. When we had questions or needed to get in touch with her, she immediately responded. Our vacation in Texas was only eight days and we really had a very short timetable in which to make an offer, negotiate, and get the whole deal started. Cathy went above and beyond to make it all happen. She did an exceptional job of explaining the contract and the time factors involved with all. She offered solid resources and references to help us put together a team who would work with us from the start of the buying process to closing. Her efficiency was amazing. The motto of Horseshoe Bay One Realty describes Cathy perfectly: "Where Integrity Matters". We highly recommend this real estate agency and Cathy!!!!!

My wife and I were so fortunate to contract Realtor, Cathy Ryden to sell our property we owned at Horseshoe Bay. Cathy guided us through the entire process using her amazing professionalism. She was totally accessible by phone and by texting from the beginning to the end of the selling process. We just signed the final papers on November 22nd and the proceeds were in our bank account by that afternoon! Cathy was the most knowledgeable and trustworthy agent we ever dealt with. We would highly recommend her services. Thank you, Cathy! Dave and Jane Concino - Hanover, Pennsylvania.
