"Sherrie, your new newsletter is beautiful. I just had to tell you that. When I opened up the email I thought I was going to see simple text, and it sounds silly but it really does grab you when you see something with color and pics and font styles."

Sitting room off of living room at 70 Lincoln in Sausalito."We had a daunting task ahead of us: to sell our home of more than 30 years and to move clear across the country to Florida. However, choosing a realtor proved no harder than looking at the homes that had been sold in our neighborhood . . . and finding Sherrie Faber of First California Realty. Our home was expertly photographed, advertised, and marketed in a most timely manner, with all the appropriate paperwork completed. We closed escrow nine weeks from the date of the first Brokers' Open.

"We couldn't have trusted this huge task to anyone more suited to the job than Sherrie. Her negotiating skills, knowledge of the local market and intricacies of the real estate world, coupled with her efficiency, good humor, and capable staff, have been a high point in our lives."

"I just sold Norm and Jeanne's home here in Los Angeles (see below). They told me of Sherrie's incredible service to them -- selling their home - and doing a fantastic job! I felt I had a lot to live up to in selling their home, after hearing their glowing report of you!  

"I asked them for your address because I wanted to thank you for doing such a superb job that the Oliver's already trusted me and respected our profession as Realtors from the moment I first walked in the door. You made all of us look good to the world. Well done! . . ."

“We discovered that Sherrie was real estate’s Cecil B. De Milles who wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. She truly directed the marketing of our property as though it were a movie in the making. Sherrie’s sincerity and enthusiasm for her project and the energy she brings to it infectiously endows the property with a special attractiveness. We felt a special flavor to this effect the first time we entered the house after she staged it. We jokingly said, “This is too lovely...we don’t want to sell now.” And to assist in this mystique, she wasn’t afraid to grab a paint brush on site. Her expansive flagging of all elements of the property’s condition was essentially a pre-emptive strike, truly eliminating later attacks. We’ve bought and sold over 20 parcels of real property over the last 30 years and SHERRIE IS THE BEST! We quickly comprehended from our developing relationship with Sherrie that we could best assist in the sale by clearing the deck and getting out of her way. What an exciting ride! Splendid work! When we return to Marin we wouldn’t consider another agent!"

"Sherrie's in-depth knowledge of the Marin real estate market accelerated our search for the perfect home; her negotiating expertise, diligence and attention to detail through the Close of Escrow ensured a smooth purchase transaction and eased our transition from the City. She will definitely be our Agent of choice for the future!"

"We had the pleasure of working with Sherrie Faber to sell our cherished home of 12 years in Sausalito. I would advise against using Sherrie unless you are prepared for a flurry of activity and very quick progress. Before we had even signed on the dotted line, Sherrie was brimming with creative ideas to effectively market our property and moved without missing a beat after the green light was given. Sherrie has the unique ability to combine upbeat marketing and sales skills with the details and diplomacy necessary to transact a home sale in today's environment. She was able to achieve our goals within a very short timeframe and kept all parties (including the other agent) on an even keel as the process progressed. Would we recommend Sherrie and use her again ourselves? Unequivocally, YES!"

"On behalf of Marin Association of REALTORS, I want to thank you for taking part in January's General Membership Meeting panel on " If I knew then what I know now." As an "All Star-Top Agent" your views are an important resource to the REALTOR community and we appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedule to share your insights and perspectives with our members."
Edward Segal
Executive Vice President
Marin Association of REALTORS

. . . "Through Sherrie's efforts, we were able to sell our home for well over the asking price! We have worked with several realtors over the years but never have we had the pleasure of working with someone as dedicated as Sherrie. Her thorough knowledge of the Marin market and her extensive network in the area contributed to the successful sale of our beloved home in Sausalito. Selling a home is a stressful experience. Sherrie was always there when we had questions and concerns. She returned phone calls promptly and was never more than a phone call away, often working outside of what most would call 'normal business hours.' We are proud to say that at the end of this experience, not only have we had the opportunity to work with an incredibly professional agent, we now also consider her to be a friend!"
David and Erum Kiger

P.S. Sherrie wrote a pre-emptive offer that was accepted on a beautiful home in Mill Valley for the Kigers shortly after the contract was ratified on their Sausalito property. So their real estate success continues . . . thanks to Sherrie's expertise!
