Sherry has put together an all star team that work amazingly well together with the perfect amount of communication. Not too much,  not too little but you feel Sherry and team are always right there with you.  I first worked with Sherry when she represented the seller of a house my wife and I were buying. We were so impressed with her work we hired her and her team to represent us in our sale.  It was the smoothest and easiest real estate transaction I have ever had. I can’t recommend Sherry’s team enough for all your real estate needs.”- Eric L., Zillow

We spent months looking with both. The Cole Team has a depth of houses that they list and that gave us the opportunity to find the perfect house before it hit the market. Clearly a win for all.” -Richard C., Zillow
