Cheryl helped my family both buy and sell - did a fabulous job on all fronts. She helped us at each step the process, and she found the perfect house for us even before it hit the market! On top of that, she was able to get us top dollar on our sale. A thorough professional and a wonderful person. We couldn't be happier with Cheryl as our realtor!!

Was super helpful and super friendly, helped me figure out the next few steps to the process of home buying. She was respectful and was super down to earth and talked with me even though it was late and didn’t seem to be fazed by the late hour

Cheryl worked with us for over a year as long distant clients. We were in Indiana and relocating to AZ. We finally found our dream home 9 months after we first started working with her. Cheryl always kept us updated with the latest and greatest from day one. She was active throughout close of escrow (this was an extremely difficult transaction) and she kept us motivated, upbeat, and optimistic in all hurdles we ran into. She made herself available no matter the time and always found us answers to our questions. She was so invested into us getting our dream home that she became a member of the family and a great friend to us. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for the home of their dreams. She will not let you down.

Cheryl is awesome! She is a very good communicator; prompt, clear, and consistent and was always available to do what needed to be done. She was flexible with us during a crazy, busy time in our lives and we could not be more thankful for her how diligently she worked on our behalf. She is a tough negotiator, knows her stuff, and happens to be a really cool person too! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor they can depend on. Thanks Cheryl!

After interviewing several agents for the sale of our property in Mesa we decided to list with Cheryl. During her presentation she was by far the most prepared and had a well thought out marketing plan and understood the local market. The listing process was simple and as we lived out of state she kept us informed as was able to execute documents remotely.
Had an offer very close to our list in less that a week and closed quickly, once again remotely.
I would recommend Cheryl to anyone selling in the area.

I have nothing but great things to say about Cheryl! She is a very knowledgable realtor and will go to bat for her clients. She knew exactly what I was looking for and tirelessly searched until she helped me find the right home. She is very prompt and is always very good about answering any questions that I had. This was my first home purchase and she was there with me the whole way. Very trustworthy!

I have complete confidence in Cheryl and her expertise as my realtor-advocate. From the get go my heart was set on a house she showed me, but I was worried that the timing wasn’t right. Cheryl encouraged me to “just try it” and walked me through the pre-qualifying process. And just 30 days later I was the owner of my dream home! Cheryl helps make dreams come true, quickly and painlessly!

Cheryl Riley was an asset in my purchasing process. She showed me many properties that were as close to my desires and within my price range. We found a great house after about a month. She helped me realize the negotiation process, and encouraged me to do extra inspections such as HVAC and Sewage which paid off! Cheryl was very kind and receptive to my wants and needs as well, even reminding me not to settle for less at a similar price. I am very satisfied with Cheryl’s services and would recommend her to friends and family.

We had spoken to several realtors before we found Cheryl and it was immediately obvious that she was a step above, although new to the ASU/ Tempe Student Housing market she took the time to research and share allowing us to make an excellent choice for our needs but which would give us a long term option. All this despite being very pregnant, and dealing with the AZ heat (she gave birth a week after we closed) and was very available and willing. Then during the negotiation and filled the shortcomings of the sellers agent she got the price down and got closing costs paid. I like to look at every aspect and Cheryl allowed us to hone a wish list to best fit. She was committed to our needs but willing to advise on security or external costs which could negatively effect our new home value (security, leased land costs etc). I'm sure she will do just as good a job when she helps us find our next property and if we decide to sell this one.

We were moving from out-of-state, and came in town to spend a weekend looking at houses with Cheryl. She was knowledgeable about the area, and quickly assessed our needs. It only took two quick weekend visits to decide on a new build, thanks to Cheryl’s understanding of our needs, what best fit our life, and then getting us to the builder that would work best for us. We couldn’t be present for most of the process- but Cheryl was! She was super responsive, visited our property regularly- we have a beautiful photo album of the building process she made for us! She advocated on our behalf, took care of details, and generally made our lives easier. She really made us feel like we were her only client - although we know that was not the case! She really made us feel welcomed to the Gilbert area, with little personal touches that really sets her apart. I don’t want to give away too many of her “secrets”, but she really takes the time to make the experience special and welcoming. I would reccomend Cheryl to ANYONE and EVERYONE looking to buy or build a home in Gilbert.

Cheryl is THE BEST. I couldn’t imagine going through the process of buying my first home without her on my team! She had my back the entire time and negotiated everything I asked for and even some extras! Even though it was my first home and a learning process, Cheryl was great about explaining all of the processes and making me feel informed. I will enthusiastically be recommending her to anyone I know that is in the market to buy a home :)

Cheryl exceeded my expectations. I have worked with several realtors in the past and none can compare to the dedication and skills that Cheryl provides. She was patient and accommodating during the process, which was a challenge, as I submitted three different contracts on properties prior to final purchase. Cheryl's commitment and personalized service made the process a positive experience. I will definitely recommend Cheryl to family and friends for any real estate needs.

Cheryl helped us sell our place in Gilbert last August. She’s more than an agent - she is basically family at this point. I’m a demanding consumer and words can’t describe how patient and understanding she was during a very emotional and challenging time for our family.
Cheryl is outstanding and both my wife and myself would highly recommend her!
