“Completely professional at all times. I sold my house with Cherie on the first weekend. she made everything so easy as it was the first time i ever sold a house. Then we had to sell property in Wauconda which was very difficult because of the circumstances. For ten years it was priced too high. When it was finally priced right it sold right away. Cherie is a wonderful person to deal with. Very competent and she
really knows the business. She sold my house the first weekend and Cherie is very competent and professional in all her dealings with her customers. I would not deal with anyone else.” – D. Loesch

She was always available and arranged to help us out by letting in contractors, etc. in our absence. Cherie is very down to earth and has a calm and professional demeanor. Her experience and knowledge of the real estate business and all of its details really showed. She was on top of it all. The marketing and drone pictures were amazing! Would use her again and would highly recommend her for selling OR buying.” – E. & C. Trussell

I am so happy I listed my home with Cherie Smith Zurek. She was with me every step of the way from initial assessment through closing. Cherie is a seasoned professional with vast knowledge of the real estate market. She is honest, fair and a calming influence. She was always available and “hands  on” helping with literally anything that needed to be done, staging my home, sourcing contractors for repairs and overseeing them when I was unable to. Cherie gets the job done for her clients” – P. Jackson

“We have worked with Cherie Smith Zurek on four house sales over 25 years. She is knowledgeable, honest and discreet. Because she has experience with construction, we value her insights. She is well-respected by ancillary industries like insulation, air quality, roofers, etc. and is known to be no-nonsense. We recommend her without hesitation. She found a buyer for our home, but due to a sudden, personal issue, we could not proceed with the sale. She was gracious and understanding despite having spent hours with us preparing for the transaction and looking at houses. We will be using her again.” – R. Foley

“Cherie is an amazing professional. Having bought and sold with her guidance, I can say with complete confidence that her knowledge, honesty, and integrity were key factors in the success of both transactions. Cherie took the time needed to understand and accommodate my needs. I can’t imagine going through either process with anyone else.” – N. Gold
