A friend recommended Ron and I am so very grateful she did. At our first meeting he described his goals and strategy to work for a sale at the highest possible price with the least possible stress to me and my family. That is exactly what he delivered for us.

From the first time meeting Ron you get a sense that he just loves talking to people. We ended up sitting down with him for 2 hours but I think he could have talked for another 2. Throughout the process, Ron was flexible and did whatever we needed. We took the advice he gave that we wanted to follow, but he didn't push back when there were things we didn't agree with. Behind the scenes, Ron's wife Deb was quick to reply and handle all the background stuff that is so much a part of a sale. I told Ron that in 10-20 years when we were ready to sell the home we live in that we would look him up and I totally met it. I "got" how important it is to have a real estate agent throughout the process of selling my condo of 19 years, a condo that ended up going 3% over the listing price. I couldn't possibly give Ron and Deb anything other than 5 stars / 10 out of 10, they are the best!!!!

If you know anything about the…read moremarket right now you know how tough (impossible) it is to find a home that checks all the boxes. Our experience with Randy started off amazing, he prepared a presentation of what our entire experience of homebuying will be to get us ready for each step of the journey. He set us up on Compass where we could easily track open houses in the areas we were interested in. Every open house he accompanied with us he had a wealth of knowledge he was able to share about the property and gave us sound advice every time. The total process felt so seamless with Randy along with his team of experts he recommended to us with our Mortgage, Closing and everything in-between. Randy was always a text or call away and had great advice during every step of the way. If you are in search of a realtor who is an expert, a leader in his industry, responsive and overall great person you've found the one. Cannot say enough good things about Real Estate Randy! During our closing Randy was sweet enough to put together a very thoughtful care package for us to wish us well on our new homeowner journey. We look forward to working with Randy again in the future!

So a friend of mine once asked 'Why the heck would you spend money on a realtor - they don't do…read moreanything for that 5%' That friend never met Charles. Here's the deal. Charles is in it for the realty experience, not in it for the sale. Sure, he wants to get your place sold, or get you into your new home - but he wont do it just to get another transaction. As a buyer, when I suggested I might want to consider areas outside of Cambridge/Somerville (i.e. maybe Boston or Brookline), he respectfully told me that he would be happy to refer us to someone who knew those neighborhoods. He knows his area so well, and wanted us to have someone who knew other areas just as well as he did. That focus on Cambridge/Somerville showed even stronger as a seller's agent, where he was able give us all the necessary guidance to prepare, show, and sell our condo for a price we were very happy with - and in around 40 days. take in that last statement. Yes, we got a price we were happy with and a list-to-offer of 40 DAYS.... this year..... And while some of that has to do with the property, a lot of it was helped by Charles' input, suggestions, and diligence in getting the property staged, marketed, and represented - allowing me to actually experience a minimal impact of the whole process. this - plus everything that happened during negotiation, paperwork, and closing - is the reason that a realtor is essential. Scratch that - it's the reason that an awesome realtor is essential. Trust me, when you end up with someone subpar (and sadly I have several times), it is a whole different deal. Charles is that awesome realtor. If I were ever to buy or sell in his area again, there's no one else I would trust

Selling our Cambridge condo was not something I had planned to do. My husband had recently passed,…read moreand I was grieving. However, our tenants had to break their lease, and I was left with an empty condo during the holiday season. To sell or not to sell, that was the question. I had talked to other agents and was feeling pressured and lost. Then, I saw a review for Charles Cherney online. What a happy, happy find! Charles was very professional, reassuring and knowledgeable from day one. He took what seemed an overwhelming circumstance and made it into a very doable project. Each and every step along the way (and there were many) was anticipated, dealt with, taken care - and we were on to the next one. Charles' expertise and experience proved to be spot on. We had over two hundred people at the first open house! The condo was put on the market on a Thursday and by the following Wednesday (after three days of private showings and three public open houses), we had over a dozen bids, with most of them well over the listing price. I recommend Charles Cherney to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in Cambridge or Somerville. He listens, advises, and takes care of both you and the process. He is more than an expert in his field - he is a kind, considerate, compassionate person, with a wonderful sense of humor.
