Catherine Hyde's journey in real estate began shortly after she turned 18, as a part-time job while studying architecture in school. Growing up in a family that invested in houses and rental properties, she was immersed in the world of real estate from an early age. Born in Peru and having lived in Las Vegas since her late teens, Catherine developed a deep appreciation for the city's unique charm and the importance of service.

 

Catherine draws inspiration from successful women across various fields, learning from their journeys and incorporating their lessons into her own approach. She believes that Las Vegas, with its service-oriented culture, has shaped her outlook on life and business. Catherine's experiences have instilled in her a dedication to treating clients with the utmost care and ensuring their well-being during challenging times.

 

Catherine recognizes the allure of Las Vegas as a destination, not only for its world-famous entertainment, but also for its affordability and proximity to major coastal cities. She notes that 30% of buyers in 2022 were from California, drawn by the appeal of a city that caters to every price point. With its ever-growing tech and development sectors, Las Vegas provides a dynamic environment for investors and residents alike. Catherine's son, Jeremy Hyde, a leading agent on their team, heads the interstate outreach program and runs marketing strategy for the group. With previous experience in entertainment marketing on the Strip, Jeremy’s unique perspective showcases the city's ability to foster growth and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. “That diversity just grows on the daily,” Catherine beams.

 

Jillian Hyde, obtained her real estate license at the age of 18, just shy of her 19th birthday. Born and raised in Las Vegas, she possesses an unwavering love for the city and its cosmopolitan ideals.

 

Currently aiming for a degree in Mass Communications, specializing in Public Relations, Jillian skillfully integrates her expertise into her real estate career. She plays a vital role in the team's educational efforts, providing market insights, writing articles, and preparing market reports for clients. Jillian's equestrian background has instilled in her the resilience and confidence to navigate high-stakes situations, a quality that she leverages to benefit her clients.

Hyde Real Estate Group at Simply Vegas has evolved alongside market changes, reflecting their adaptability and commitment to meeting client needs. While initially focused on development and high-end commercial properties, the group later shifted its attention to first-time homebuyers. Currently, their emphasis lies on serving investor clients, multifamily properties, and luxury homes.

 

The team places a strong emphasis on data and performance analysis. They provide monthly newsletters to keep clients informed about market trends, ensuring that their decisions are supported by factual information. Their expertise lies in multi-family listings, a record they boast top honors in throughout the Vegas area, as they understand the increasing demand for affordable housing.

 

They believe that affordable housing is not just a social need, but also a sound investment opportunity when managed effectively. By collaborating with partners who maximize the potential of these properties, they cater to their target customers and contribute to the betterment of the community. “There is always a need for affordable housing,” Jillian says. “It's a business though, it has to be run well, and maintained.” In addition to providing representation, the Hyde Real Estate Group educates their clients in how to be a successful property owner.

 

Catherine and Jillian not only love Vegas for the opportunities it presents in their jobs, but also in their daily lives. “We love our dogs,” Catherine admits. “It's so nice to just be able to take your dog to a dog park or go for a walk.” Jillian agrees that while they spend a lot of time together, you can often find them at the dog park, where she and her pup, Smudge, will meet up with Catherine and Nigel. She continues, “We practically live at the dog park. If we’re not there, I'm at the barn. If I’m not at the barn, we’re both at home watching Bravo.”

 

Often joking that she’s a single mother of two - to her Aussiedoodle and her horse, Lex - Jillian and Catherine are always with their family and animals. “There’s no in between,” she says. Catherine adds that traveling, food, and hanging out with her husband, Drew, are big parts of their lives.

 

“Everybody wants to come to Vegas,” Jillian says. “We are a city of ‘today’.” Catherine agrees that she’s found over the years, Vegas has always been a destination for people not only to travel, but also to live. When it comes to real estate, Catherine advises looking at your objectives and understanding what your driving motivation is before making it your career. “You can’t quit halfway,” she advises. “As with anything, it's really about applying yourself…you wear many hats in this business.
