RE/MAX News:

Cathy Grastataro has joined RE/MAX of Los Alamos as an Associate Broker. She is working as a licensed assistant for long-time RE/MAX realtor Paula Barclay in serving clients in Los Alamos, Santa Fe and the Pojoaque Valley.

Grastataro is a long time resident of Los Alamos. She moved to the area in 1989 on a “temporary assignment” for Grumman Aerospace to work as an engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She retired from the lab this March, 26 years after taking that temporary assignment!

She and her husband, Jim Krone, enjoy living in Los Alamos and are active members of the community. The Los Alamos Mountaineers, Pajarito Ski Mountain pass holders, Master Gardener Program and the Sheriff’s Posse Lodge are some recent organizations where she has participated.

“I have had a wonderful and fulfilling career at the Lab but now it is time to do other things!” she said. “My retirement has given me the gift of time to actively pursue my curiosities, interests and hobbies. I am so excited about getting my Associate Brokers license as this is something that I have always wanted to do. Being able to work with Paula and the RE/MAX network is such an advantage.  I have their experience, support, and fine reputation as my foundation to best serve clients.”

Barclay said she is delighted to have Grastataro join the office and work with her. “It’s thrilling to have Cathy decide to start a second career as my licensed assistant. I’ve known Cathy since I moved to Los Alamos and began working at RE/MAX 11 years ago. Her compassion, integrity, attention to details and skills make her a natural fit for this new venture. I know she will be successful! I am so excited to have her joining me in working to serve our friends, neighbors and the community with RE/MAX.
