Cheryl Grant

From start to finish, Cheryl was awesome! She provided clear communication, and upfront and honest dialogue. She is very articulate – she provides lots of helpful documents to keep it clear and simple. She was in constant communication with what was happening – from showings and open houses and then throughout the sale process. She was very helpful with all of our questions and concerns – even from many states away! Through texts, emails, and phone calls, our questions were all addressed quickly, professionally, and in a very timely manner. I’d tell my friends and family to make Cheryl Grant their first call if they wanted to buy or sell their home. In a down economy, she sold our home in less than 6 months and did it with us not there for some of the time.

Cheryl was excellent! She was above and beyond organized. She was timley and direct with what I was looking for in my new home. Terms that seemed confusing to me in previous home purchases made complete sense this time – simply because of Cheryl’s ease of explanation. Cheryl doesn’t let the dust settle under her feet and treats her clients as if they were her own family. I really value her work ethic and dilligence!

Cheryl brought an excellent team, with the sole purpose of showing the home to its best advantage, both in person and online. Her team provided the impetus we needed to see the home through buyers’ eyes. The effort proved out when the home sold in two days! Cheryl took the time to review the home selling process with us beforehand and at each stage. Cheryl is an aggressive and effective advocate on behalf of the sale. Don’t hire her unless you want your home sold! She is very good at the job she is hired to do – sell the home for the right price and get the sale closed.

I was amazed when I first contacted Cheryl – I immediately noticed her professionalism and dedication to her career. I was also impressed with the way in which she worked with me and my schedule since I was already living out of state. During the entire process of selling my home, Cheryl always communicated well and even would contact me before I had a chance for questions to arise! I always felt that my best interests were her priority. Cheryl was always clear and concise but always available to answer my questions. Cheryl was prompt in email and phone responses. Although my home was a small starter home, Cheryl treated the sale as though is were a huge sale. I also appreciated how she worked to make the process of selling a home from out of state much smoother than I had anticipated. Cheryl is a reliable, experienced, professional who is dedicated to her field as a realtor and most importantly to the needs of her clients. She is absolutely outstanding!

Cheryl was fabulous! She worked hard to find us a place we loved. She adjusted to fit my needs and took the time to make sure we understood the home buying process. We were first-time home buyers with little knowledge and Cheryl took the time to answer all the questions we had. Admittedly, I’m an extremely eager person when it comes to getting what I’d like. Cheryl accomodated my needs with very quick responses both via email and phone. Cheryl knew what we were looking for and was able to show us homes noth in our vision, so to speak, and some not so much so we had something to compare it to. Cheryl is a hard worker, caring and super personable. She really listens and will make sure you are happy with your decision.

Cheryl was excellent! She had great knowledge of the market, honest assessment of properties without being opinionated or swaying decisions. Overall we felt like both of us had done our research and felt good about our decision. Cheyrl explained the next steps and timing at each event and was right on with what to expect in each step. She was available by all means of communication – phone, email, text. We changed gears and started searching different areas and she was always right in sync with our needs and wants. We’ve already referred friends and will do so again! We tell them that they can get a great understanding of the area/neighborhood/market and that Cheryl has great resources during and after your purchase – contacts for fencing, plumbing, etc.

Cheryl was thorough, personable and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to welcome us to Grand Rapids – above and beyond what most realtors would do. No question was treated as unimportant. She thoroughly explained the process and answered all questions. Cheryl was natural, conversational and prompt! Whether in person, over email or phone, Cheyrl communicated easily and with confidence. Cheryl was able to effectively process our evolving awareness of what we wanted in the price range we could afford. We felt that she was our advocate and champion for the lifestyle we were looking for. I would tell people that you’ll get a highly professional, yet reasonable realtor with Cheryl. She is sincere and trustworthy – someone you can whole-heartedly rely on. Thank you Cheryl ~ we love our new home, neighborhood and city!

As newcomers to the Grand Rapids area, we needed a realtor we could truly trust, who was knowledgeable regarding the different neighborhoods, could communicate reliably and effectively and above all was honest. Cheryl met every requirement. As first time buyers in the U.S., Cheryl made the whole procedure easy for us, explaining everything from mortgages, to bank loans, to taxes, to utilities. Every detail was covered and patiently repeated to us when necessary. Cheryl’s responses to our many questions were speedy. She was available 24/7. If she didn’t know the answer to a question (which was rare), then she found it out. She answered every email and phone call promptly and efficiently. Her communication style is professional yet personable. Cheryl noted what we liked or disliked abouta particular home and tirelessly continued to search multiple properties in order to find one that met all our needs. If you need an honest, professional, knowledgeable realtor who will work diligently on your behalf until you are living in your dream home, then Cheryl Grant of RE/MAX Realty is an excellent choice!

Cheryl was very dedicated to finding us exactly what we wanted. The house that we bought had only been on the market for a few hours before Cheryl called us. Two days later, we put our offer in and now we have our home! We were very specific about location and what we wanted and she found it for us. This experience was a first for both my husband and me. We had no idea how the home buying process worked and she told us step-by-step what to expect. Cheryl was very open and honest with us about homes we were looking at. I appreciate honesty! She helped us think of things that we were unaware of as first-time home buyers. She called us quickly with new information. I felt like we were always in the loop! My husband is on a fire department and it was very important for us to find a home in a specific area. She listed to what we wanted, what we didn’t want, and what was important to us and helped us find the perfect match. Cheryl listens to what you want and finds it for you. She does not try to sell you what you don’t want just to get a sale.

Cheryl was very knowledgeable and walked us through the process, giving us great advice and helping steer us in the right direction. Cheryl sold our home in less than a week!

Cheryl listened to me. I only had a week to buy a home. I moved here from the state of Wyoming and Cheryl wasted no time! She advised me what to avoid in my situation and my purchase turned out to be the perfect match! Any questions I had, Cheryl answered and any questions I should have asked, she anticipated and told me about them as well. Cheryl felt like one of my sisters she was on top of every detail and followed through. Cheryl has a very personal yet professional style absolutely no pressure, yet very informative. Cheryl is a great agent, great person, easy to talk to and is really connected. She is on top of this market. She watched my interests and was a great person to have in my corner!

Every aspect of our selling process was wonderfully executed-very professional and efficient. Cheryl helped us in negotiations with the buyer to get us the best price possible. Cheryl explained step by step the home selling process and was very patient with all of our questions. She also helped us define our own selling strategy. Cheryl communicated with us daily and usually got back to us within an hour of leaving a message. Cheryl was also able to refer us to great resources in the community to do repairs, staging, and haul-away services. We would definitely recommend Cheryl Grant, she sold our home in 9 days while previous Realtors attempted it for 3 years.

During our first meeting, Cheryl presented a 10-point marketing plan which she explained the rational for each point. Upon review of this plan after the sale, we can give Cheryl an excellent rating on each and every point. In addition, Cheryl provided a compassionate but realistic picture of the real estate market in our neighborhood. We feel that she was always looking out for our best interests every step of the way. Cheryl was always available via telephone and or e-mail. She promptly returned our calls and e-mails. This was our second home which Cheryl has sold for us. Both listings and ultimate sales were conducted in a very friendly and professional manner. If you need to trust and count on a Realtor, you should use Cheryl Grant.

Cheryl is a good listener who took the time to understand my questions and followed up on open issues. She has a proactive style without pushing a buyer into a bad purchase. Cheryl was quick to respond to my phone calls and e-mails regarding everything from insurance to title processes. She went out of her way to look up any answers that she did not have on hand. Cheryl was able to answer questions in a way that I, as an inexperienced first-time home buyer, could understand. Cheryl coordinated with all the various players to get answers to my questions. She worked with my mortgage broker, city inspectors, home inspector, title agent and seller’s agent to make the buying process smooth. If you’re going to buy or sell a home, talk to Cheryl!

Cheryl went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. She was available to answer any questions and when I would email a list of homes I wanted to see, she was ready the next day. Cheryl helped me to understand the cost breakdown for the selling and purchase agreements. I felt I could call or email her at any time. I was never concerned about asking what seemed like silly questions. She took the time to answer every one of them. We were looking for a specific style and size home in a particular neighborhood, I never felt pressure to look at something outside of that area. Here is a woman who knows the business. She is honest and trustworthy, direct and to the point.

Cheryl explained the home buying and selling process and it was all very clear. She takes the time and has the patience to explain as much as you need.

What I particularly liked about Cheryl’s style of communication is that she is clear and makes sense. Cheryl listened to my needs and did what she could with the limited market situation. I would absolutely refer friends and family to Cheryl for any home buying or selling needs. She is the best!

Cheryl was professional, knowledgeable, flexible and caring. At our very first meeting, Cheryl explained the home buying process to us, which was very helpful as first time home buyers. She filled in the blanks by giving us a helpful book which we did read and reference as necessary. She was always willing and available to answer our questions throughout the entire process and never made us feel stupid. Cheryl was always prompt in her communication. We appreciated her quick response to our inquiries and how she let us know right away about homes that met our qualifications. Cheryl is very open and honest in her communication style and easy to talk to. Cheryl showed us that she listened to our needs by showing us the homes that met our qualifications even though at times I felt I did not necessarily communicate our needs clearly to Cheryl. I would surely recommend Cheryl to our family and friends that are thinking about buying or selling a home. I would tell them that she is knowledgeable, a hard worker, professional and an advocate for you.

Cheryl is smart, friendly, helpful, personal, accommodating, funny, laid back, genuine and it doesn’t hurt that she’s a Michigan fan! Cheryl explained everything to us very thoroughly and if we didn’t understand, she answered our questions until we were satisfied. She always responded very quickly and answered the questions that we asked her. She was always pulling comps on other homes for us to best make an offer and she was always pointing out things that we wouldn’t have noticed on the homes. We had specific wants/needs that we were looking for in a home and she went above and beyond the call of duty so that we could find our dream home. When we wanted to bid on a house, she helped us to get the inspector in ASAP so that we could get our offer in quickly.

Cheryl is a great realtor. She knows the area very well and is always finding out new information for her clients. She is very accommodating to your needs and is always listening to what you as the client are saying. Cheryl genuinely wanted us to find our dream home and we felt like she did everything to help make that dream a reality. We love Cheryl!

In a nutshell: Cheryl is very professional, knowledgeable, organized, efficient, personable and so fun to know! We had been through the home buying process several times in the past, so we had experience, but each time is different in some ways and her expertise proved so valuable to our successful purchase! Cheryl called when a new listing came up and made arrangements to view and discuss it, so friendly and upbeat! We really appreciated her genuine interest in our situation, needs, emotions, etc. She was so fun, kind, understanding and patient when I was rather flaky at times! I have already referred friends and family to Cheryl and will continue to do so!

From the first moment I met Cheryl, I knew she was someone I wanted to work with. She was very open and honest from the start. She gave me the numerous reasons of why I should work with her. Cheryl always had a prompt and honest answer to all of my questions and concerns. I am a very impulsive person and want things done immediately. Cheryl understood that and played directly at those personality traits of mine. She was in constant communication from the moment she found a home to the moment we closed. She was very in tuned to what I was specifically looking for and the things I would not budge on. She never brought me any houses I felt was a waste of time. Yes, I would refer my friends and family to Cheryl. I would tell them that Cheryl is very detail oriented and that made the difference between buying a home and buying the right home.
