What makes a house, or a town, a home? To East Meadow’s Catherine Razzano, it’s a sense of community. Razzano, 62, devotes her working life to real estate sales, for Coldwell Banker American Homes. For the past 16 years she has worked with aspiring homeowners on deals that are often the biggest of their lives.
“I got into it to make it a much calmer process for people,” she said.
In her spare time, she is a passionate member of East Meadow’s Kiwanis Club, where she focuses on youth leadership programs and food collection. In honor of all her efforts as a volunteer over the years, the Herald is proud to name Razzano its 2025 Person of the Year.
