Our Process for Your Success
1 - Consultation
We like to begin by meeting in person with you to discuss your search: your price range and specific requirements and the market. This meeting affords us the opportunity to address any initial questions you may have.
We want to connect with you in order to be of service. Meeting together is a good first step. That being said, we can also begin by connecting by phone or email - whatever works best for you and your schedule. From the very beginning, communication is key.
2 - Considering Properties
- When we can, we will preview properties for sale at your request.
- We will arrange showings by appointment.
- We will track the market and alert you to new listings of potential interest. Through our other website - CharlesCherney.com - we can set you up for a daily email update for properties in your price range matching your requirements.
- We will email you each week about open houses and otherwise be in regular contact with you about your search.
3 - Valuation Analysis
We will complete a valuation analysis of any property of interest to you. This means we will carefully consider the value of the subject property, taking into consideration relevant properties now for sale, under accepted offer, and recently sold. Our goal is for you to feel informed about your decision regarding making an offer.
4 - Negotiation Advice & Counsel
Negotiation is a crucial service we provide to you. In addition to our valuation analysis of any property you are interested in making an offer on, we will aim to connect with the listing agent to get a sense of the situation pertaining to the offer process and negotiability. Our aim is to offer advice and counsel regarding the best approach for framing the terms of your offer and achieving a successful result for you.
5 - Transaction Management
We will be right by your side on the journey from initial consultation to closing. We can recommend lenders, inspectors, real estate attorneys - and other professionals as needed. Even after closing, you can count on us for reliable recommendations. We understand that closing on your new home is the end of one journey and the start of a whole new one!
6 -Consistent Communication
We understand that consistent communication is at the heart of an outstanding service experience. We will email you each week about open houses and otherwise be in regular contact with you about your search. We respond in a timely fashion to all communications. Great service means great communication with you.

Maggie was a steady presence and took action.
She is proactive, responsive, honest, knowledgeable, flexible, professional, consistent, well-resourced, and empathic. Maggie is warm and tenacious, and when various parties needed to be nudged, she effectively kept things moving. She is an exceptionally clear communicator, whether in person, in writing, or by phone. In moments of stress, she was a steady presence and took action. In moments, when I needed someone to bring some levity to a tense situation or cheer me on to the finish line and celebrate, she did that too and was just super fun company. I cannot recommend her more highly.
