Cheryl and her staff made the process of selling my home so pleasant and stress free. Cheryl's confidence, experience and expertise is unmatched. I couldn't be anymore impressed with Cheryl and her team, they prepared my home for sale and it sold in one day, well over the asking price. I'm still amazed. It gave me a new appreciation of what the right agent can do. read more

What a wonderful experience from beginning to end! Working with Cheryl Spence and Jupiter Real Estate Group was a lifesaver for me. I retired to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico bought a home there and Cheryl handled every detail (including moving furniture for an estate sale!) with such grace. My home in San Rafael sold in 36 days from the first Open House to close. Stunning! I cannot recommend Cheryl and her team highly enough! If you want results, don't hesitate. Put your home in Cheryl's hands and it will be sold quickly and efficiently. I'm forever grateful for her skill and experience. Prudence 'Lise' Miller read more

The TL;DR is Cheryl was amazing, professional, and uses her contacts throughout Marin County to find a home that fits your needs. After spending 20+ years in San Jose, we moved to Marin County and fell in love. Through a business connection, we met Cheryl and knew right away that we wanted her to be our realtor. Even though we were in the "looking" phase, Cheryl gave us all her time and effort. She took the time to introduce us to various neighborhoods throughout Marin County based on the wants and needs we provided her. In the end, we found our perfect place and couldn't be happier. Cheryl is dedicated, hardworking, and professional. The team she has assembled made the process of purchasing a home easier than ever. Even though we weren't her only clients at the time, she sure made us feel like we were with her level of care and service. My wife and I would highly recommend Cheryl for your buying and selling needs. Thanks again, Cheryl, for everything! read more

Update! Cheryl just orchestrated a complicated deal for my mother, financing a new condo with a bridge loan against our long time family home, coming up with a reasonable budget to upgrade the house and get it on the spring market, and finally sell the house for a price which has made us all very happy! She's gotten even better - if that's possible - in the last 7 years since I first met her. Cheryl is very hands on, very personable and she'll make you feel like you're her only client. Highly recommend. You won't regret the decision to hire Cheryl and her vast network of mortgage brokers, trades people, knowledge of other realtors in the area and her all around good sense when it comes to buying and selling real estate. read more

If you're looking for a great realtor, Cheryl Spence is the best. We used her as a buyer's agent, and she was fabulous. Communicative, honest and helpful throughout. She balanced helpful insight of the purchase process with letting us be in the driver's seat. Most important, she was incredibly responsive. Which, when you're constantly juggling fast-moving deadlines, was incredibly important to us. We'll definitely be using Cheryl for any home-purchase needs moving forward! read more

It is hard to know where to start when reviewing Cheryl, at Jupiter real estate group. All I can say is she is the epitome of a professional and extraordinary at what she does. Her attention to detail, especially when it comes to preparing your home for sale is uncanny. Her ability to analyze a property and prioritize repairs is where her value lies.Cheryl knows exactly where to spend money , and more importantly where not to spend money. She will (literally) , transform your home with the help of her amazing industry partnerships. Cheryl's marketing is absolutely stunning, hi-end, and impactful! My husband and I have both sold and purchased properties through Cheryl for over ten years Her talent, eye for design, and her network of resources is top notch. Her reach, integrity, attention to detail, knowledge and professionalism, are unparalleled. Thank you, Cheryl, see you on the next one!! read more

If I could give six stars, I would. Cheryl was my agent when I recently sold my house on Mt. Tam. I thought I knew the basics of real estate from having bought and sold a couple of apartments in Manhattan. But houses are not apartments, and Marin is not Manhattan. Cheryl patiently guided me through everything I needed to know (which was a lot) and do (also a lot!). She is incredibly precise, meticulous, and focused while also being a pleasure to work with. Nothing escaped her attention. She also had a vision for staging and marketing the house that worked perfectly--we received multiple offers of more than $100k over asking within two days of putting the house up for sale. And this in the midst of a soft market. If you're looking for a smart, experienced, hard-working and savvy agent, you won't do better. read more

Cheryl Spence of Jupiter Real Estate was open, communicative and reachable throughout the sale process. She recommended affordable decorative upgrades to enhance the appeal of my home. She never hesitated to get things done, from installing kitchen knobs to staging for an open house. And her supplier recommendations were so helpful. She was honest and forthright, and took the time to explain details and requirements that were unfamiliar to me. She was sensitive to my ailing cat that had to remain home during showings. At the end of all the preparations and the marketing and the angst of selling a long-time home, I got my asking price. Grateful for such a selling partner. read more

When you are looking for representation from someone who knows every nuance of the market - is fantastic at troubleshooting issues before they become problems and has a little black book of trusted vetted vendors then Cheryl is the person to call. I have been in real estate for closing on 30 years and she is still my go to referral agent in Northern California. Long ago I realized the most successful agents on paper (top this or that) are rarely the ones that offer the best service to their clients - usually they are just the best at marketing themselves often with little regard to their clients experience. Give me a nimble intelligent boutique broker who is going to oversee every aspect and guide me from start to finish and be a resource for me long after close of escrow... that is Cheryl. read more

Hands down the very best realtor I've ever had the pleasure of buying and selling with. I was a first time buyer hoping to find a home in San Francisco back in 2013. Cheryl never let me down or discouraged me from keeping my hopes up. In the end, she found an amazing home that I could afford--no, I don't work in tech and have infinite funds. I'm an artist trying to keep my place in the most expensive city in the country. Cheryl helped me write an offer that was lower than the asking price and we got it! The entire transaction was so smooth and I felt zero stress or anxiety from start to finish. Fast forward now to 2019. I decided to take advantage of the high real estate market and cash out in selling my home. Again, Cheryl helped me from start to finish and quickly found the right buyer with the best price--over asking price! The transition was again stress free with zero anxiety or doubt in my mind that Cheryl was the right person who went way above and beyond. To be totally honest and transparent, Cheryl is an independent Realator and an empowered woman who has over 25 years of Bay Area connections in real estate. She knows who to call, what to ask, and has a positive spirit and highest professional level in the industry. read more

From the minute I met Cheryl, I knew I wanted her on my team. She's so intuitive and throughout my home search, I felt like she was always guiding me to make the best decision for me and my priorities. She's incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to the Mill Valley area and she has an amazing eye for design. Cheryl is simply the best and I'm so thankful to have met her years ago which led to working together on my first home purchase. Thanks Cheryl! read more

I called in to Mrs Cheryl to inquire about a property. This lady answered the phone, did not give me an opportunity to speak, said that she had a call on the other line and hung up. Rude ASF. I didn't even call back. read more

What an A+ Realtor. Cheryl Spence really delivers on her promise. What a class act. She could sell water to fishes! No matter how complex or challenging your task might seem, Cheryl is ready to step up to the plate and hit a home run for you. My family couldn't be more pleased with her due diligence, speed, grace and effectiveness! Thank you Cheryl for our successful sale with God Speed timing. You Rock! read more

The person who referred me to Cheryl (someone who knows the industry well) called her the best agent he'd ever worked with, period. And he was right. Great realtors have to have two seemingly opposite skills: the soft human touch for working with clients and colleagues, and the hardball sense for strong negotiation. Cheryl is excellent at both. With compassion and wisdom, she guided me successfully through the 8-month process of searching for a home I could afford in a brutal market. Then when it came time to go all-out to get the home I found, she totally delivered. I'm convinced that it's because of Cheryl that mine was the winning bid among many. Thank you, Cheryl! read more

As a first time home buyer I had no clue where to start until I met Cheryl. I had the most wonderful experience "condo shopping" and learning the home buying process from Cheryl. She listened to my condo needs, taught me about the SF real estate market and was always available to answer my questions. Within a matter of days Cheryl showed my dream condo and within weeks I moved in. Cheryl is amazing to work with and because of her I am living in my first condo and love it! I absolutely recommend Cheryl and will definitely call her when I'm ready to buy a house in a few years. read more

We love Cheryl! My husband and I closed on a house last month after a pretty long search, which was mostly due to our very tight budget constraints, and specific expectations. (We needed a 2 bed 2 bath with an enclosable yard and ample storage, for less than average market price, and we were only interested in Sausalito.). It took several months for us to find our home, during which time several "almost it's" came on the market. Rather than be motivated purely by the commission of a closed sale and push us into a home that was almost right but not quite, Cheryl was always completely supportive and let us know that we shouldn't compromise our needs; the right house would come. And it did! We are now in a 2 bed 2 bath, in Sausalito, with an enclosable yard and storage galore. Cheryl was the best agent anyone could ever hope for; she was constantly available, unflappable during our panicked phone calls, and always beating the street to get us the inside scoop. She truly went the extra mile for us and I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I can say that she is a super platinum 5-star service person I have ever worked with. Her first and last principle when working with me and my partner is "My Customer First". We have worked with her for a month and she could walk us through all obstacles until we bought our first time property without any trouble. Our concern is always her first concern and she would work with us even after office hours or even after her dinner. We are amazed with her performance through all recommendations and connections. Not only we now own an amazing loft condo in SOMA area with her assist, we also got a great loan program with less 10% down payment and no PMI introduced by her connection of Union Bank. We enjoyed working with her so much that we could not believe we got a lovely loft in just a month. We definitely will continue to keep contact with her because of her charming personality. read more

Cheryl is a star in the real estate market. She is thorough, patient, and you are not likely to find anyone with more knowledge. Cheryl guided in selling our property, handled all questions for potential buyers and went the extra length to make us feel comfortable throughout. Cheryl is honest, tough, caring, and funny. I would happily work with her again. Thank you! read more

Cheryl's patience, compassion, and professionalism are unparalleled. I have never worked with an agent as sweet and kind-hearted as Cheryl yet at the same time as driven and diligent. She has gone above and beyond to find us a home for the last five years. Although nothing has come on the market that has met our needs, Cheryl never gave up, and five years later, we finally closed on our dream home. Cheryl is a rare gem...a hard-working, detail oriented agent who will move mountains to make something work. Nothing is too difficult or challenging for her. Continuously positive and uplifting, Cheryl is a true pleasure to work with. It has been a gift to have her as our agent. read more

A true "gem" in the real estate business. Cheryl instills a calmness during trying times of selling a property (I tend to stress out). She works her magic to reveal your property in its best LIGHT (as I replaced 21 light bulbs upon her advice to properly show off the features in the condo unit)! Aside from her fabulous network of cleaners, painters, and stagers is the positive energy she puts into listing the property to make sure your property goes on looking its best, while still conscious of a seller's budget constraints. Cheryl Spence truly values her client relationships and is always available at a moments notice to get to work listing your property. For several years we considered listing our property and would check-in with Cheryl to see if the market was ready, and she would immediately get back to us after running comps and talking with mortgage lenders to determine the down payment percentage for buyers to get the property funded (as post-real estate bubble, funding and condos became a tricky business in SF). This year the timing was right to list our condo, and within 2 weeks of emailing Cheryl, she assembled her task force and had the property "beautified," pre-approved by lenders, and posted on the MLS and other social networking sites. Within 45 days of emailing Cheryl to discuss listing the condo, our property closed seamlessly, and she kept us updated the entire time with phone calls, emails and texts. In the real estate business, it is hard to find an agent you can totally trust, and Cheryl has proved herself more than worthy. When we originally purchased our condo, Cheryl represented the seller, and 10 years later sold the same property, but as OUR agent. Cheryl Spence and Jupiter Real Estate Group exceeded our expectations with the sale of our condo. read more

Cheryl was so helpful with my home search. She really figured out what I was looking for to help narrow down my search. When I decided I wanted to offer on a house, she was super quick to help me write the offer, and she prevented me from over-spending! Also, she has tons of connections, and the fact that she knew the listing agent really helped us out. She was able to hash out a deal within a few hours. I really don't think I would have gotten the place without her. I highly recommend working with her. read more

Working with Cheryl has been a dream! Buying a home (especially your first!) is a very stressful commitment, as is navigating the real estate market these days. Cheryl listens to your every need, really knows the real estate market in and out, and is relentless in finding the right fit for you...I will recommend her to every single one of my friends and co-workers. I have to say, we were thrilled to find the perfect home, but sad to no longer spend our Saturdays with Cheryl. read more

Wish there were 10 stars. There is no one better than Cheryl Spence in the business. We haven't even closed yet but her poise & calmness helped us through every obstacle (& there are & were many) in our complicated real estate transaction. Her knowledge & flexibility in any situation is uncanny. Her ability to work through every obstacle as if its no big deal, gives you the confidence that it's all workable. Cheryl is a class act unto herself. We are so fortunate our paths have crossed and we are so grateful to her! Thank you Cheryl. We love you! read more

Where do I even begin to describe the remarkable experience I had with Cheryl Spence? I worked with Cheryl a couple years back when I was referred to her but the deal didn't work out, for absolutely no fault of hers. Two years later I was looking to purchase a house and was dealing with Redfin because of their user friendly business model and "credits". After multiple bad experiences with them that left me out of the running I finally went back to my roots and contacted Cheryl. This woman is unbelievable. She doesn't treat her profession as a source of income, she treats it as her passion. She worked TIRELESSLY for months to make sure that I would get this property. Her communication skills are nothing short of phenomenal. She will call you back immediately, email you within minutes, and knows exactly how to get things done. I am in the home I am in today because of her and only her. The tact she uses and the resources she has at her disposal are second to none. Every day I marvel at the place I was able to purchase because of Cheryl, I think back to all the ups and downs in the process and how she effortlessly and tirelessly navigated the waters for me. She truly does work for you. If she can't get you the property of your dreams in a ridiculously competitive market, then no one can. Have her represent you and you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Cheryl is just the perfect mix of fiery determination, charming personality, and incredible hustle to get the job done and done right! As first-time home buyers in San Francisco, we needed someone sharp but also someone we could trust to navigate us through the process. From the moment we called her from the Open House frantically interested in this property, she dropped everything to hurry over the bridge and meet us (for the first time ever), asked all the right questions of the seller, and injected the warmth and personality that would actually set the tone for the entire home-buying process. From hustling our offer out the door, to answering our questions throughout the emotional roller coaster of escrow, and finally to the sweet moment of getting the keys to our dream home, Cheryl Spence was a gem throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a stellar partner in their search! read more

"I feel so fortunate that I found Cheryl to sell our house. I can't recommend her enough. She has extensive experience with the real estate market in Marin and SF. She partners with expert designers, architects, and engineers that can assist or advise, even with a very tricky property, like mine. She never leaves you hanging but instead, reports in everyday with updates. I could always get in touch with her and she always had the situation in hand, very hard working, and always professional. Also, important to me, she really listened to everything I had to say about our property, the history of the house, its quirks, both good and troublesome. She really got the nature of the place and put together a total picture of what the house had to offer to the next owner. I wouldn't work with anyone else!" read more

Cheryl helped us purchase our first home. She was incredibly diligent. She drafted a timeline and chased everything down tirelessly to make sure we closed on time. We talked to her dozens of times during the closing. She always answered our calls or got back to us immediately after and kept us up to date daily or sometimes hourly on what was going on. Cheryl has a network of fantastic inspectors and contractors who made us fully reassured that the home we were buying was in good condition. We appreciated her negotiating skills and her extreme diligence. She dotted every i and crossed every t. The perfect realtor for us as first time home buyers. read more

Cheryl is top notch! I've spent 2+yrs looking in and around SF, Marin,and OAK for just the right place and in that time have worked with many realtors, hands down Cheryl was the best! Just closed on a place (via Cheryl) 45 days ago and couldn't be happier. In short she is incredibly knowledgable about the local market in Marin and she is very willing to share that knowledge. After few hrs with Cheryl you really understand and appreciate the value an expert agent can bring to the table. I don't write reviews often, but when you work with someone like Cheryl you have to let other people know about it. The bay area can be a frustrating market and while Cheryl can't fix the market she certainly can make you feel like you are navigating it with and expert on your side. She works fast, is dedicated, detail oriented, great sense of humor and you can tell she knows the area inside and out. read more

Cheryl Spence is the best...in every way.....I bought and sold a house California while living on the East coat during a difficult and complicated time. She was fabulous in understanding the needs of my family and made all transactions go perfectly.. My close friend here who is a realtor followed all the emails and pronounced Cheryl as excellent ....she thinks of everything and knows how to get everything accomplished When I wanted it I am very happy with both sales and how often can anyone say that?! read more

Cheryl is an absolutely fantastic real estate agent. She has loads of experience and knowledge; has great attention to detail and she is an absolute pleasure to be with. We recently purchased a home in Marin with Cheryl's extensive help. We were pretty clueless as to the buying process and therefore totally dependent on Cheryl's expertise. She was wonderful and professional and led us through the process quickly and efficiently. She went above-and-beyond in so many instances: making a point of being there in-person for several of our appointments (she didn't have to do that); meeting with inspectors if it was difficult for us to be there at a particular time; and lots more. She is a top-notch agent and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her. read more

Cheryl is fantastic. This was my first house purchase and I most definitely needed hand holding along the way. She knows what she is doing and has great attention to detail. For example, during closing she noticed a $7,000 error. Long story short it is customary in Alameda county for the seller to pay the fee (I had no idea), so after she pointed this out she was able to reduce my costs by $7,000. It goes without saying that I'll be calling Cheryl for any future real estate purchases. read more

Cheryl is a great, great, great realtor. Despite our small budget (by Marin standards), and very specific desires for location and amenities, Cheryl always hustled for us. She was always prompt in returning calls, writing up offers, and chasing down new leads. She is very knowledgeable about Marin real estate and well-connected to the seller's agents working in the area. This was especially helpful as we were first-time homebuyers who did not always know what to expect or how to closely evaluate a deal. After over six months of searching in a very difficult market, we finally found and closed on a house and couldn't be happier. Thanks Cheryl! read more

We can't say enough wonderful things about Cheryl Spence. We relocated from San Diego and were referred to Cheryl to assist with our home purchase in Marin. We ended up finding the house of our dreams in Mill Valley and owe it all to Cheryl. Her professionalism and thorough understanding of today's real estate market was extremely valuable, as was her extensive knowledge of various neighborhoods. She not only worked day and night to help us find this perfect house, but also to navigate a very complex loan and inspection process. Cheryl is an incredible negotiator and always puts the needs of her clients before anything else. She also has a huge network of resources, many of which we have relied on since moving into the house. And they've all been great! Our family is now settled in Mill Valley and loving our new neighborhood. We know that we have not only gained a Realtor for life, but also a friend. We would obviously recommend Cheryl to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. read more

Cheryl is the best! As a first time buyer, I wasn't too sure of what I wanted or could afford. She patiently listened to my needs, provided input, adjusted to my feedback, and helped me find the perfect home in a competitive market. She was prompt and always in contact. Her knowledge and her guidance really help me navigate a complex and sometimes cryptic process. I learned so much from her and everything went exceptionally well. I highly recommend her. read more

I had the pleasure of doing a transaction with Cheryl on a listing of mine in Sausalito. She was the consummate pro from the beginning to the end of this transaction. Creative, constructive, knowledgeable, even fun! And this started right when and continued all the way to the Close of Escrow during the shelter-in-place orders. While many other ppl were acting out and short-tempered, she was her calm, kind, professional self. She handled so many problems on this transaction with her knowledge of the Sausalito market and the City departments, etc. I can't say enough about what a joy it was to work with her, she negotiated well for her clients, but kept things going well for everyone. She knows how to make a request reasonably and never once lost her patience or put anyone on the defensive which happens too often in RE. I would do another deal with her in a heartbeat. [I have never written a review for another agent, that says it all!] read more

Without Cheryl's help and knowledge I would not be in the home I am in today. Cheryl found my future home and emailed me the day it went on the market. She worked tirelessly to make everything happen and was with me through every step of the process. She is extremely knowledgeable, has a reputable list of contacts for inspections, handywork, plumbing, etc., and always gets back to her clients right away. I recommend Cheryl to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is not only a amazing realtor, but a wonderful person. read more

Pretty much sure that Cheryl is a good as it gets. She's not only the most kind hearted and compassionate person but she's amazingly business savvy as well...the combination is rare and effective! We just moved into a dream condo in lower pac heights and could not have done it without her. She's responsive, knowledgable and knows when to push and when to stand back. I could not recommend her more! read more

If you're serious about finding a home, Cheryl Spence is as good as they come. Because of Cheryl, I just closed on my dream home in Sausalito for pocket change over what the other 9 buyers offered - they were not pleased. Cheryl knew exactly what we needed to do to be competitive in a way that set us apart from other buyers - even if it meant calling in last-minute favors from her favorite home inspectors, etc. I couldn't feel better about my purchase, and I couldn't have dreamt up a better home. Additionally, Cheryl is well connected to the point where many of the homes I looked at sold before they were ever made public, and I was almost always the first person to see them. In this market (with such low inventory and an overwhelming number of buyers), you need a well-connected, seasoned pro on your team. You need someone who doesn't let a single home pass you by, someone who is your advocate, and truly cares that you not only find exactly what it is you're looking for, but that you get it at a good value. Unlike so many other realtors I've worked with, I felt 100% confident that Cheryl had my best interest at heart. I dare you to find a better realtor - you just wont. Cheryl doesn't rest on the laurels of a big company name; her success is a result of her hard work and dedication to her client, and her reputation is a direct result of the quality of her services. If I had to list the ways Cheryl went above and beyond for us, this would turn into a novel. I'm so grateful for Cheryl - there are no words. GO INDEPENDENT!! read more

This review is SO long overdue... Cheryl is simply the best. Anyone looking for the greatest and most competent representation when purchasing a home should hire her ASAP. My husband and I were looking to buy our first home in Marin County. We had something very specific in mind, and a strict budget to stick to. Not an easy task in this rough market. We worked with another real estate agent for around 9 months and things looked very bleak. We made multiple offers with no success. The other realtor actually recommended we either change our specs or start looking elsewhere. That's when we reached out to Cheryl. The difference was just incredible. She was so personable but also professional. We really felt like she knew exactly how to handle our situation, and we also felt extremely taken care of. Long story short, we were able to purchase the very first house that we made an offer on with Cheryl. We were blown away. She then hand-held us through a tough inspection and renegotiation process, and found a way to make it all work. We bought our ideal house, and it was definitely thanks to Cheryl. If we ever need to sell or buy again there is no one else we would work with. She is the greatest! read more

Cheryl recently helped me locate and buy a condo in SOMA. I am relatively new to the area, and her knowledge of the city and the property market is phenomenal. She was understanding of my needs, and helpful and attentive at every step in the process. Highly recommended. read more
