Testimonial

Angela Z, Client

Cheryl knows the Boston Metro west area very well and has an extensive network that she readily uses to benefit her clients. She was always accessible and very responsive to any and all questions we had. She was honest and sincere in her assessments and opinions even when they disagreed with ours, we felt she had our best interest in mind.

Mike V, Buyer

Cheryl was a great partner for helping us find a house during the pandemic. She identified several houses while also showing us the houses we identified ourselves. Once we found a house, Cheryl was able to help us make a reasonable offer slightly under asking. The offer was accepted, despite the quickly inflating house prices we saw during the pandemic. During the P&S, we found the house had elevated radon levels. She helped us negotiate the installation of active radon remediation to get our readings under 2! Finally, she was always there to help out with the closing as the bank peppered us with questions. I would highly recommend Cheryl as a buyers agent to anyone looking for a house in the north western suburbs.

Peter G, Seller

Cheryl did a wonderful, professional job with the selling of our home. She was knowledgable and very communicative throughout the process. We would highly recommend Cheryl to future clients who are selling/buying a home.

Raj K., Buyer

I would need many more than 150 characters to explain how awesome Cheryl Stakutis was throughout the entire home purchase process. She has always answered every call, text message or email no matter what time of day. Her professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. She is so nice and very informative, I have learned a lot of things from her and she was guiding us very well according to our wishes and plans. So, we felt she was a mentor to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for my family. She helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price in the competitive market. We are so thankful for her for finding the best home for us! We'll never use another realtor, anyone looking to purchase a home would be lucky to work with Cheryl!

Kim R. Seller

Cheryl was incredible to work with. She walked us through every step in selling our home. From our first meeting, she helped us prepare our home to sell and was always available to answer even the smallest questions. We were relocating for work and had a timeline that we needed to meet to move. She understood all our needs and was very thoughtful throughout the selling process. In the end, we sold our house for the price we were looking for, on the timeline we needed to meet. I can't thank her enough and highly recommend her as an agent.

Satya S. Buyer

We had a fantastic experience working with Cheryl as our realtor for our first home purchase. Cheryl's friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy for us to reach out to her whenever we had questions or concerns. She patiently answered all our queries, drawing upon her years of experience in the industry. Cheryl's extensive network and experience proved invaluable throughout the process. Thanks to her contacts, we were able to find a trusted attorney and home inspector. Cheryl's expertise and knowledge as a realtor made the entire buying process smoother and less stressful. Overall, Cheryl's exceptional service as our realtor exceeded our expectations. Her friendly nature, patience, and years of experience made a significant difference in our home-buying journey. We highly recommend Cheryl to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and friendly realtor. Thank you, Cheryl, for helping us find our home :)

Maryann C, Client

I highly recommend Cheryl Stakutis to be your realtor. Cheryl helped us buy, and then sell, a house in Concord, MA. While buying our house, Cheryl really listened to our requirements for a house and only showed us homes that met our criteria and our budget. She was very organized and was able to show us many houses in a short period of time. We were one of “those customers” that had trouble finding our perfect house. Cheryl didn’t rush us or put pressure on us to choose a house. She wanted to be sure that we found the right house for us. While evaluating houses, Cheryl brought up issues that we hadn’t thought of. For instance, she mentioned that one of the houses had been vacant for over a year and would likely pass Title V although the septic tank was probably at its end of life. She also knew local zoning and flood plain issues. After we moved into our house, Cheryl recommended great companies for interior painting and for refinishing the hardwood floors. When it came time to sell our house, Cheryl gave us great advice from start to finish. First she evaluated our house from top to bottom. Then she suggested a handy man to complete several minor repairs. Cheryl and her staging crew did a great job staging our house. It looked absolutely beautiful in the photos and for the showings. Cheryl gave us great advice about house pricing - we discussed should we “under price” to get more people to see the house and get offers over asking price. Or do we “right price” or “over price”. She made a recommendation and she was 100% correct. She also worked with us to determine the best time to hit the market based on time of year, expected weather conditions and expected traffic in the area. We got multiple offers for our home within 5 days. Cheryl helped us evaluate the offers and choose the best offer for us. Cheryl also helped us when our house failed Title 5. She knew how to go about connecting to town sewer and she knew who to contact in the town hall. Selling a house can be aggravating and time consuming. You’ll want to be sure to pick someone who is always up-beat and has a “can-do” attitude to be your realtor. I highly recommend Chery. You will be very happy if you choose her to be your realtor.

Julia C. Buyer

Cheryl was a pleasure to work with and was invaluable in the process of helping us buy our first home. We initially took our time, renting in the area for a year until we could find the right house. We went to several open houses with Cheryl where she shared her expertise on what to look for in a home. She never rushed us or made us feel like we had to jump into a purchase without feeling ready. Once she got to know what we liked, she recommended a new construction condo. We initially were hesitant because we didn't want a condo, but once we saw it, we fell in love! She definitely knew exactly what we needed (even before we did). Cheryl has a very discerning eye and she is very good at finding a good balance of quality and value. She is super detail oriented and clearly very experienced, so I felt we were in very good hands as first time home buyers. I recommend Cheryl wholeheartedly!

“Cheryl was a true professional. She helped me prep the house in advance and brought in a design consultant to help us chooses colors and decor. She also was able to connect me with professionals to help with every step of the prep and sale process.”

sharonsm-Buyer

“Cheryl Stakutis worked tirelessly for me. She was not just an agent. She was also my advisor and my champion. Cheryl wanted to make sure that I would not be taken advantage of and that I would have good resale value in the future. She asked the good question and sought out experts to help resolve any issues. When it came time for a sound real estate lawyer, she helped me choose the best. And when it came to financing, with her help I choose the greatest. They all became a team that worked not only for me, but with me. When there were issues, all 3 were there. Cheryl was in constant communication with me and kept up my faith when I needed it. There aren't words that can express how wonderful, professional, personable, etc. she is. I am so fortunate to have had her as my agent. I can't say enough good things about her. In the future, when I sell, there is only one person I will trust, and that is Cheryl Stakutis.”

gabrield-Buyer

“Cheryl is really a nice lady to work with during my recent home purchasing. She works 7 days a week to help us and give advice to deal with all the issues involved in the house hunting, including the loan, home inspection, service, communicating with the listing agent, etc. Under her help, we successfully buy the house in 45 days. We have a really good experience during the whole process.”

cindge921-Buyer

“Cheryl was so helpful to work with in finding our first home. She was always willing to meet us for open houses or talk any time of day and was super detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure we knew the facts about any home we looked at. She also helped to give us tips about living in our new town even after moving in. We formed a great relationship with her and could tell she really cared about helping us find the perfect house.”

dwood-Seller

“Chery was amazing to work with and very on top of everything. I was selling my Mother's house, and I lived a state away. It was so helpful having an agent that was able to handle everything. I highly recommend her.”

Chad and Annette-Clients

“Cheryl was great to work with on both selling our condo and buying our house.  She is extremely hard working and was tenacious in her search to find our perfect house.  We can say without a doubt, we would not have found our home without Cheryl!”

Amy G.-Client

“Cheryl's dedication and experience truly makes her number one! She sold a home for me, and connected me to local resources that I needed after living in my Concord home over 20 years. She kept everyone on a good timeline. She helped me to navigate the purchase of a townhouse I downsized to. She has also helped my daughter purchase her first condo in the North End. When you work with Cheryl-you quickly figure out her Father was a builder/developer and her exposure to that business truly comes into play whether you are looking to buy, sell, or build! 5 star quality & professionalism.”

Deb & Ed K.-Seller

"Cheryl was indispensable in the sale of our home in what was a very compressed timeframe.  She gave us solid advice, coached us through every step in the process and kept us on track to meet very tight deadlines.  She helped us prep the house and property, developed first rate marketing materials and executed the plan to deliver multiple competitive offers.  She was a great partner."

Lennie D-Concord

"We have had the pleasure of working with Cheryl on 3 occasions in the past 8 yrs, both with purchasing and selling. Cheryl is a full-time professional experienced in putting together a winning offer for a buyer and advising a seller on many small details that make a home attractive to buyers. What makes her services outstanding is Cheryl follows up on every detail to keep the deal on track, taking nothing for granted. She chose a photographer who was just as knowledgeable as she is about making a beautiful presentation of our property. The result, a busy Open House filled with qualified buyers during an uncertain economy. We highly recommend Cheryl whether you need a buyer’s agent or an agent to sell your property timely and for a great price.”

Diane P.-Buyer Concord

“I just have to say Cheryl went the extra mile for me. I met her at an open house and after talking to her about the house and neighborhood I was sold. She helped me come up with a solid offer and worked very closely with me the whole way through. Even after my offer was accepted she went the extra mile… accompanying me to the building department to get some questions answered, giving me tips about getting situated in a new town, and answered all my questions promptly. I feel very lucky having had Cheryl in my corner. I trust she will continue to be a resource as I settle into my new home.”

Sarah C.- Client Concord

“I am not sure where to begin! I am still filled with gratitude that I have had the good fortune to work with Cheryl. She is EXCEPTIONAL!!! If you are reading this as you search for an agent, your search is over. Cheryl is a wonderful and kind person and yet will go to great lengths to advocate for you--a rare combination! She has VERY valuable experience in the construction world and this makes has a great educator beyond the surface of a home search. She is meticulous and no detail slips past her. Cheryl is always available--and not just to take your call, but checks in with her clients constantly. She explains every part of the process and makes sure that you understand. Cheryl was an amazing negotiator in my purchase in an incredibly challenging market for a seller. I am thrilled and grateful for the result she got me. Buying in this market is stressful but having Cheryl made me feel more confident because of her knowledge, insight, savvy and negotiating skills--along with her kindness and true passion for helping find homes in an area she knows so well. A wonderful realtor!!”

Dave C.-Seller Sudbury

“Cheryl is terrific!!! she recently sold our home in Sudbury (5/2019). She worked hand in hand with us on how to prepare the house and ourselves for the sale. This is a process, not a transaction. Cheryl was in no "hurry" to get the listing. Instead, she provided much needed value add in the staging, repairs and recommendations on what needed to be done to be most successful. Her experience in both real estate and construction makes her much more knowledgeable than the average agent. Both on the buy side as well as the sell side. Also, Cheryl was accessible 24/7!! (she will always take your call) She is not a "part time" agent. She is a full time professional. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”

mtrainor13-Seller Westford

“Cheryl was nothing but phenomenal. She is a master of her craft and completely on top of her game. She is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. I am thrilled to have chosen her as my broker. My condo sold in one day and closed a month later. Highly recommend.”

Smitha N-Buyer Sudbury

“We brought our first home with Cheryl. She was amazing in every step of first time home buying. Cheryl had lot of patience and put a lot of effort to make us buy a perfect home that we wanted. Her advise helped us make right decisions in finding a home, house inspector, lawyer and lender. Rain or Shine or Snow she would be on spot and ready to look at homes and find the details of the houses we were interested in. She has lot of years of experience in home buying/selling and a true professional. I would happily recommend her to anybody and thanks to her we are currently enjoying our new home.”

cdamato52- Buyer Chicago

“Cheryl is absolutely amazing to work with! My husband and I moved to Chicago from Boston and were completely unfamiliar with the Chicago area. Cheryl helped us find a stunning, brand new, luxury high rise to rent that was right in the middle of the city! We felt so fortune to work with such a resourceful and seasoned agent. So thankful for Cheryl's patience and kindness throughout the process! Looking forward to working with Cheryl again when we look for our future home to buy!”

pldcco-Client

“Cheryl Stakutis is a consummate professional. She really understands the local real estate market and is an expert at managing the marketing and selling process. She is a proactive real estate agent who has an intuitive sense about how to head off anything that could jeopardize the process before it happens. She is efficient and she is an expert in preparing the home prior to listing it; the home was staged, photos were done, a sign was installed and the home was on social media within a few days of our signing the listing agreement. Although she is an expert and aggressive negotiator, she is pleasant, and patient and a creative problem solver. Cheryl is responsive and always puts her clients first. She inspires trust and confidence. I highly recommend Cheryl whether you are selling or buying a home.”

joeyd221122-Buyer Chicago

“I moved to Chicago and Cheryl had 5 fantastic options for my wife and I right away. We now live in a beautiful apartment that she helped us find. Her response time was awesome and she made sure that all of our requirements were met. I would highly recommend using her.”

chen86-Client Boxboro

“Cheryl is the best! Cheryl is very energetic and very knowledgeable about the great Boston area market! She has 20 years experience in the local market. I enjoy work with her during my house hunting. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Dawn-Buyer Bedford

“Our property search and purchase experience working with Cheryl was outstanding. Cheryl's experience and knowledge of the local area was a huge benefit given our out of state relocation. Cheryl was easy to work with, took time to get to know us and understand our search criteria. In addition she provided many useful contacts for utilities and local services. Cheryl's strong negotiation skills, effective communications, great attention to detail and organized approach kept us on track through the entire purchase process to a successful closing. Very impressed and would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a first class real estate agent.”

Paul-Client Concord

“This is second time I have worked with Cheryl. She first helped me find the place after looking at many properties and guided me to my best options. In selling the property is was priced appropriately, marketed well, closed quickly. Additionally, she was very helpful to me in making sure I did everything right.”

zuser20150103061109255-Client Acton

“Cheryl is by far the best real estate agent in the business. She is hard-working, detail oriented and knows the Western mass real estate markets of Concord Acton, Maynard, Lincoln, Sudbury and surrounding areas extremely well. Cheryl accurately priced, aggressively marketed and quickly sold our Acton home and found us a perfect new home in Concord making our move as smooth, painless and profitable as possible. She remained positive and level headed through negotiations and always put in the extra time and effort to close the deal. It is without reservation my husband and I fully recommend Cheryl for both your buying and selling needs. If you want the best, call Cheryl.”

Sharan-Buyer Wilmington

“Very resourceful. Patient and understanding of buyers demands. Even though I had a difficult seller, Cheryl was very patient in negotiating the offer. For a first time home buyer like me, Cheryl provided useful recommendations throughout the whole process - deciding on a bank for availing a loan, hiring a home inspector, and the choice of attorneys to seal the deal. Cheryl also took effort to make inquiries about property safety, water contamination levels amongst other things. I would strongly recommend Cheryl as a agent for any home buyer.”

zuser20161112041532712-Client

“Over the years I have bought and sold seventeen homes and I can honestly say that Cheryl Stakutis is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. Her attention to every detail from initial listing to final closing, as well as her availability to answer questions that may arise are superb. She is a true professional and it is with great pleasure that I would recommend her to my family and friends. Thank you Cheryl!”

Kara J.-Buyer

“Cheryl Stakutis is extremely dedicated to her clients and works tirelessly to help them in both the buying and selling process. My husband and I are thrilled with the property that we bought and couldn't have made it through this process without Cheryl's support and positive attitude. When we put our property on the market she found the perfect buyer for our house and made the process seamless.”

Ikolossva- Buyer Acton

“Cheryl helped me recently to find a home in the Acton area. She has been extremely helpful, especially tailoring our search to my specific needs for the kind of house and neighborhood I am interested in. She went above and beyond contacting potential sellers and coordinate viewings with them on short notice. Not a single viewing was wasteful, I always learned something new, and being a stranger in this part of the country, I was amazed how quickly we found my perfect home for the foreseeable future, and we finished all the paperwork also in record time. I highly recommend Cheryl for her professionalism, efficiency, and client focus. She is great!”

M&M R.-Buyers Lincoln

“New to the State. New to the US. New to the home buying process in the US. We couldn't have been luckier to have found Cheryl, who helped us navigate, learn, and ultimately end up with the perfect house for our family. Her combination of personable and authentic charm is matched by a deep and rigorous understanding of the local markets. She was always one step ahead of what was available, and had a wide network of contacts to draw insights from during our home search. When it came time to make an offer, she was clearly working to get the best possible price and outcome for us. All in all, she is the total package for a real estate agent and not only do we look forward to running into her in our new town but we would definitely work with her again in future!”

smellydogpipi-Buyer Littleton

“Cheryl helped us to purchase our first house, and the whole experience working with her is fantastic! Knowledge: As the first time buyer, we didn't have experience or knowledge at all on even what to look for and what to avoid when looking at houses at the beginning. Cheryl always provide us with her insightful opinions and extremely helpful suggestions from her extensive experience on the house market. Every time we met for house searching, is like a fun and educational trip for us. immediate response: Cheryl is always on top of everything, questions that we have as well as questions we didn't think of. And she is not only on time for every appointment we had, but also she usually arrive earlier and started researching for the house in advance. So many occasions, we just showed a little interest on a house and then she already gathered so much information for us to consider. For our house, she went to the town so many times to clarify our concerns that at the end when we went the town ourselves, we found out almost everyone in the office knows our realtor! Negotiation: With Cheryl's help, we got an unbelievably great deal on our house. Even our attorney was amazed by how much less we actually paid than the bank appraised value."

Amy74-Buyer Acton

“I had the similar experience with the previous reviewers. It has been such a pleasure working with Cheryl. Not only she is an excellent agent for buying and selling the house, she cares. She was always reachable and here for us. She is full of energy and friendly but aggressive as needed to get the job done. Cheryl was appointed to me as our buyer agent by my relocation company . Right away her thoughtfulness and focuses on our need really impressed me and my husband during the pre-decision trip. She showed us the houses exactly at our price range and followed the quest what we asked for. We immediately knew that we had to raise our budget in the competitive Boston housing market. She was very patient to answer all our questions and address our concerns since we were new to the area. Once we reset our goal, she started to look for the houses endlessly and found the right one for us. Not only she knows the area so well and understands the market, she has the extensive network of contacts to help us to get settled in the new area. She even helped us to renovate the house. In three month, not only we bought our dream home but also we made a new friend! She made my relocation process so smoothly that it was almost fun! I highly recommend her.”

mmebrooks-Client Sudbury

“My husband and I first met Cheryl at an open house and knew immediately we wanted to work with her. Her expertise, confidence, and boundless energy were instantly apparent, and we could tell that she sincerely enjoyed her job. We considered several agents, but nobody was as thoughtful and focused as Cheryl, who listened carefully to us and presented a comprehensive plan. Convinced she was the best person to both sell our home and help us find a new one, we never looked back! Cheryl delivered on every front, particularly in the care she put into helping us stage our home and in the sound guidance she gave us throughout the buying process. She also had an extensive network of contacts ready to assist us with any home-related services needed. I admit I had my anxieties about the challenge of coordinating a sale and purchase, but Cheryl made the process easy as well as fun! From start to finish, we had a fantastic experience working with Cheryl and wholeheartedly consider her a “premier agent!”

user0063657-Client

“Cheryl was referred to us by a friend who also had a good experience purchasing a home. She is very dedicated to her client and is aggressive when required. Our home was on the market 2 days and there were multiple competing offers, all above the asking price. This is our first home and she helped manage the home buying process for us while I was away and my wife was taking care of our newborn. She has an extensive contact list and her referrals were all great. I would recommend Cheryl if you were looking to buy or sell a home in the area.”

LD.-Buyer

“Cheryl represented the Seller for the condo we purchased in 2014. She promptly replied to our many questions and stayed highly involved throughout the contract process to assure the sale concluded successfully. Cheryl is high energy, hard-working and personable.”

237wimbleton-Seller

“I am a corporate real estate professional, have completed hundreds of transactions and used many brokers. I hired Cheryl to sell my parents condominium. She brings a high level of energy, attention and enthusiasm. She has a thorough knowledge of curb appeal. Additionally, Cheryl was able to articulate the appropriate listing price based upon recent comparable sales and more importantly, existing market competition. I would highly recommend Cheryl for your brokerage assignment.”

kshankar98- Buyer Boxborough

“Cheryl helped us buy our home in Boxborough MA, after we were tired of using someone who had very little time for us. She is dynamic enterprising, very friendly, not pushy and a very nice person to work with. Rare traits in the real estate world. Although we found this home using our own research, she was committed to the process right from the start till we closed. Even during negotiations, she held her cool, with support from Hammond and was able to prevail in the final offer.”

Pat W-Seller

“From the day we signed on with Cheryl to sell our home, she was there to help and guide us through the process. Her goal was to show our home at its best. She made herself available to us through the de-cluttering and staging process with a total hands on approach. Cheryl always responded to our phone calls. She was also sensitive to our feelings of selling our home of over 40 years. Cheryl has a very positive and cheery attitude which was one of her selling points to us.”

John B-Buyer Littelton

“Cheryl was incredibly helpful in us finding the house of our dreams. She worked with us to understand our search criteria and timing. She didn't try to change our minds on anything and really had our wishes as her top priority. She was open and honest about each property we visited, pointing out where there was (and wasn't) value, and often helping us understand things about a property we might not have otherwise noticed. She really shined once we had an offer accepted. Through the inspection process and pre-P&S negotiations Cheryl put herself front and center and shielded us from the stress and anxiety related to these types of negotiations. We could not have done this without her help.”

sevan2088-Client Waltham

“Buying a home with Cheryl as our agent has been a very pleasant process. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Having worked in her area for many years, Cheryl has a lot of experience, and is very familiar with the local market. Cheryl is also very hard working, and was always available at any time to come meet us for open houses, or to write offers. We never had a problem getting a hold of her for any reason. She made the process of buying a home as easy as can be, and we were lucky to have had her on our side!”

Bob B-Seller Westford

“Cheryl sold our house in Westford after another broker failed to generate traffic or any noticeable interest. She started from scratch and made sure our house was well photographed, well-placed in Hammond marketing collateral, and had maximum exposure to the local realtors. Traffic immediately followed and we received two offers, at our expected sales price, within 75 days. Then Cheryl helped me buy some bank-owned property. There were a lot of unknowns, including the true condition of the property, the paperwork process, and negotiating parameters. Cheryl managed it all. She found a 5 Star inspector, worked tirelessly on the paperwork, and helped me get the best possible price. She went well beyond what I expected of a broker....she was a true partner throughout the entire process. I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
