I can't say enough good things about Cherie, both personally and professionally…read more
My family (myself, my wife, and our 16mo old son) met Cherie by happenstance at an open house. From there, Cherie did not hard pitch us to become our client, rather she arranged a call to better for us to get to know each other and to communicate our goals and timelines. With that knowledge, she began proactively looking for neighborhoods and properties to meet our needs as well as asking questions about what we did and did not like about properties we had visited. In short, she treated us like individuals and did not just give the cookie cutter approach you so often see from many realtors.
In the home evaluation, inspection, and offer process, Cherie was direct, honest, upfront, and open in her communication. She provided us with confident guidance where she was the expert and appropriately "nudged" us when it came time to make some big decisions. She crafted a fantastic offer, aligning the value we were offering with what was important to the seller, while also extracting huge value for us in terms of required repairs. We ended up with the winning offer despite not being the highest bid, which is nearly unheard of in San Diego.
From there, she coordinated us with escrow resources, provided a list of recommended lenders to work with, and consistently made sure everyone was on schedule for what ended up being a 17 day close. Even with all that, she consistently checked in on us to see how we were feeling and to "vibe check" that things were going as we expected.
It's one thing to help someone buy a house. It's another thing to help someone buy their first house while they're trying to keep their toddler alive, lol. It's another thing entirely to make someone feel confident, protected, advocated for, prepared, and considered throughout the entire process.
That is the difference with Cherie Peters, and that is why I can't recommend her strongly enough!
