“Cheryl was a fabulous partner to us as we shopped for our first home. She spent the time to get to know us, really understand what mattered to us and she was able to coach us into some great decisions. She wasn't afraid to let us know her thoughts and her advice was always good. When it came time to manage the day to day of finalizing the purchase, Cheryl was masterful and ended up saving us a LOT of money and time by working a few miracles. She was a fierce advocate for us and really helped us understand what mattered during the final negotiations. Cheryl is a great partner to have on your side. Give her a call”
“Cheryl is very well acquainted with the Lamorinda area and knows the Orinda market very well. She was extremely professional throughout the process, keeping us well informed from the feedback on each open house through the negotiating process. Her forte is in the visual staging of the home before it goes on the market and the personal website she created for our home. Cheryl's marketing background was apparent as she went beyond the traditional MLS posting, producing an amazing website and beautiful print collateral. The photo gallery on the website along with the 3D Virtual Tour was creative and stunning. Since most people search the many online sites for homes, I believe it is important to have a website that stands out from the run of the mill. Cheryl created just that website, which I believe was instrumental in selling our unique home. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone in the area that wants to add a high level of marketing expertise and creativity to a routine listing of their property. Thank you, Cheryl!”
“Cheryl is wonderful. We bought our home through Cheryl and were so impressed, she was the first and only person we called when we needed to sell our home. She goes the extra mile to make sure everything goes smoothly and happens when it is supposed to.”
“Exceptional knowledge, expertise in all aspects including managing contractors during needed repairs, SUPER responsive, impressive negotiation skills while always maintaining a professional, calm and positive attitude. Cheryl handled sale of old home and purchase of new home with proficiency and urgency (21-day close - unheard of these days!), she also acted as liaison with mortgage company and inspectors. Could not have gone better. Do I recommend her? EVERY DAY!!!”
“Outstanding realtor: thorough, knowledgeable and punctual. Provided me with many examples of properties within my budget and would take me to any I wished to view by planning ahead and making appointments. After successfully negotiating the property I ended up buying, stayed in the picture to assist me with home improvements and contractors. Cheryl is one of the best realtors I've ever encountered.”
