<p><br /> Me: First-time condo owner, early 90's building, original kitchen & bathroom, no major upgrades done.</p> <p>I chose Cheryl because she sold a unit in my building, within a day of listing, (2bd, 2bth, 1000sqft, redone kitchen & bathroom, 3rd flr). My unit went in 3 days (1bd, 1bth, 870sqft, 4th/top flr). My neighbour across the hall took 3 weeks (2bd, 1bth, 900+sqft, redone kitchen & bathroom, 4th/top flr) with a different realtor, listing within a week of mine and within $10,000.00 of my asking price.</p> <p>Cheryl had a stager come in and help me organize and clean; had multiple scheduled showings within the first few days; took the time to explain process and concepts; in the bidding war, got me the best price and even helped with getting me a lawyer.</p> <p>Cheryl was professional, patient and most importantly developed interest and worked hard to have realtors and the public know about my listing. She made the process as stress-free and seamless as possible. I couldn't believe how fast it happened.</p> <p>I have no doubt I will use her services again for my next purchase and definitely, for any future sales I have. I think she's one of the best, if not the best realtor in the city and you can't go wrong using her services.</p>

<p>Cheryl is the only realtor I would ever use. We have had many terrible, disappointing, unsatisfactory realtor experiences and dreaded having another, but Cheryl was amazing. She actually worked for us, was punctual, informative, effective. Can't say enough. Get her!</p>

<p>We contacted Cheryl while we were still living in Northern BC and were wanting to move to Victoria. We only had a few days to find a home or else we would have had to travel back again. Cheryl showed us lots of homes over those few days and we found the one on the very last showing.</p> <p>Cheryl handled the back and forth negotiations until late at night until we had an agreed on prices with the sellers, she handled the inspection as we were back up north and was very helpful with who to contact for all the utilities etc.</p> <p>I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone for their real estate needs as she was very personable, professional and committed from start to finish.</p> <p>Alexis Williamson</p>

<p>Cheryl is a fantastic professional realtor. We were first time home buyers looking for a realtor and Cheryl came highly recommended from a work colleague. One of Cheryl’s greatest assets is she really took the time to listen to what we wanted and always maintained an open line of communication. Cheryl was truly motivated and dedicated to finding us our perfect house in a ‘wild’ Victoria market.<br /> Cheryl is incredibly knowledgeable. Cheryl was able to answer all of our questions, and there were many, about various neighbourhoods which enabled us to focus on where we wanted to be. Cheryl’s knowledge also helped guide and prepare us through the complex process of buying our first home which made the overall experience painless and relatively stress free.<br /> Our overall experience with working with Cheryl has been amazing, so much so that when our lovely landlords asked if they should use Cheryl to sell their home we didn’t hesitate to say yes! They also had a fantastic experience and Cheryl sold their house within a couple of days of it being on the market. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cheryl’s services to any of our family and friends. Thank you Cheryl.</p>

<p><br /> We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Cheryl. We were searching for our first home on the Island, while living in Vancouver. We had been looking at homes online using the realtor website for about 6 months prior to contacting a real estate agent to help us. We went online to research realtors and contacted a few realtors via email just to establish an initial relationship. We spoke with a few realtors on the phone, and each time we either felt more confused then before we called, or we felt like we were wasting their time. It was very difficult looking for homes in Victoria, while living on the mainland, because every time we would find something we liked, by the time we were able to come set up a viewing, they had sold. We started to feel very anxious, like we would never be able to find something, especially in a very hot market.</p> <p>Which brings us to Cheryl. We found Cheryl's information online, and read such great reviews we thought why not give it another shot. From the very first phone call made to Cheryl, we got off the phone feeling like everything was going to be ok! She was extremely knowledgeable of the areas we were searching, and of the current market conditions. She was patient with us in our search, and very flexible in finding time for us to come over to the island to view some open houses. We had one day, and she had set up at least 5 houses for us to view. We found the house we were looking for that very same day. Cheryl explained the entire process to us, every step of the way, and she was very quick to respond to any questions. If she didn't have the answer immediately, she had it for us within a day.<br /> When our first offer on a house was outbid, it was absolutely beyond her control. After we lost the first house, we realized that we had to be more aggressive in the type of market we entered into. Thankfully losing that house, allowed us to discover the house that we were meant to buy. Our second offer, a little more aggressive then the first, was accepted against 3 other buyers.</p> <p>Anyone that I know in the future that is interested in buying a house on Vancouver Island, I would absolutely recommend Cheryl Barnes. Cheryl was very thorough and made us feel like our business was important. Her professionalism, knowledge of the areas, experience, and constant communication far exceeded our expectations. Thank you again Cheryl!</p>
