Cherie's Success Stories
Here's what some people have said about your Chattanooga Real Estate Agents:
Cherie;
We want to thank you for giving us such excellent service in the sale of our home in Birchwood. We appreciate your hard work and for never giving up until our house sold. Your positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile was a big factor that sold our home. We thank you for all you did to help us. We would highly recommend you to our closest friends.
Sincerely,
Bob & Gloria Prehmus
Cherie,
Just a few words to thank both you and Mike, for all your help in finding our new home in East Tennessee. Not only did we find a new home, but we feel like we’ve found new friends also. Your honesty and follow-up was refreshing and appreciated. Your knowledge of the area made our decisions easier, and believe me, that’s not the easiest thing to accomplish.
We’ve already given your name out to our friends here in Marietta so don’t be surprised isn’t “dirtied” by future clients.
Once again, thank you for a flawless real estate transaction. No issues, only smiles!
In past experienced of dealing with real estate agents, we were reluctant to even consider putting up our home for sale, much less going through the aggravation walking through home after home, only to be disappointed. Our schedule, as with many other people, doesn’t allow us to waste time. It was so rewarding to be able to actually tell someone what we wanted and for that person to produce results well beyond our expectations. To be treated as more than just a client, but as a friend: that really means a lot.
We wish both of you all the best in your careers, because you guys give your best to the people around you. You may never fully realize how many lives you touch each day, just by your kindness and helpfulness.
Thanks for all you have done to help us find our new home
Joe Mason
Cherie,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in helping us find our waterfront property. You have been so honest and sincere in every aspect.
Without your excellent advertising and marketing, it would have been very difficult to locate an agent that specializes in waterfront properties in your area, due to the fact that we lived out of state.
Your web site was so very helpful.
Although we have not moved into our new home yet, we both look forward to enjoying it and the area.
We look forward to your continued friendship.
Sincerely,
Jim & Ava Estes
Cherie:
It is with the greatest enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for Cherie Welsh, realtor at Realty Center GMAC. Having purchased and sold several homes in three states, I
have experienced various levels of quality, motivation and abilities in the realtors with which I have contracted. Cherie Welsh not only far exceeded my expectations, she blew the standard right out of the roof! Although Cherie is an award winning real-estate leader in this area, she made me feel like I was her only customer. Phone calls and activity reports were consistent and qualified buyers were viewing my home continually.
During the two years prior to meeting Cherie, I had first tried to sell my home by owner, and then contracted with a personal (realtor) friend. I had heard remarkable things about Cherie Welsh, but felt obligated to my friend. I soon learned that friendship should not be considered
in business unless your friend is ultimately the best person for the job. After the second year ended with my beautiful waterfront home still unsold, I finally listed it with Cherie Welsh. Although I signed the contract in March 2004, I would not allow the home to be shown until I
returned from a trip on April 1. Cherie listed my home at a price $14,000 higher than my last listing, and sold it. We closed on May 27, 2004. I might mention that we had made no improvements
or changes to the home or property.
Cherie’s work ethic is unsurpassed by any of the many realtors I have worked with in Florida, Tennessee and in New York State. After working with Cherie I am convinced that she should have a
list of acronyms after her name to indicate the many levels of service she truly provides.
Cherie’s marketing is exceptionally powerful. She invests significant time and money to increase awareness with strategic advertisements utilizing multi-media. Cherie’s attention to detail enables
her to best identify the needs and desires of both buyers and sellers and match them appropriately. Her strong skills, keen senses, superior devotion, and exemplary motivation are exclusive advantages
from which her clients may benefit.
Cherie possesses a vast knowledge of this real estate market. She knows local history, current status, and can anticipate future trends for this area. She knows Who, When, Where and How to
proficiently get the job done. She places herself in the most knowledgeable position to best advise both buyers and sellers.
Lastly, Cherie understands the stress of buying or selling your home. She listens intently to your needs and desires. She is respectful of your time. She is friendly, approachable, and a joy to be around. Cherie goes way beyond the definition of an excellent realtor. In my critical viewpoint, she is simply the Best of the Best.
Sincerely,
Robin Wiley
Cherie
Thanks so much for helping me “Find My Place”. In my case, my transaction had to be done quickly, and you did it with urgency in your calls and paperwork.
If a person wants certain things in a home, that’s what you find and show them, and your promptness means so much, you were always on time for any appointment. Not only are you a good business person, but also a very caring person, with concerns for the client’s needs and personal issues.
Your personality will help others “Find Their Place”, I’m sure
Your new Friend
Nellie Lankford
Both Marshall and I were absolutely thrilled when we first met you. We are both very delighted and very much grateful for all you have done to make this move into our new home a very pleasant and stress free
experience.
You know what you are doing and work very hard to please your clients, and mostly, you follow through with everything that needs to get done. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Not just and old client, but new friends.
Linda and Marshall Towe
To Brian Kelly
President, Realty Center GMAC
I would like to take a moment of your time to express my gratitude and thanks for having the opportunity to do business with one of the best, If not the BEST real estate agent with your company, Cherie Welsh.
Thanks to Cherie, I’m closing today!
I listed with her on April 9th, 2003. From the very time I first met Cherie, I felt she was honest and of high ethical standards. Cherie made it a point to keep in touch with us with her “news letters”, “phone calls” and also provided us with her personal monthly “Marketing Service Report”, which kept us informed of every detail. Cherie was always truthful with us after each showing, and this kept us from getting our hopes up thinking we might have a buyer when we didn’t.
She also has a very valuable team member, her husband Mike. We liked him from the beginning. Especially after he did such a great job with th4e virtual tour two days after I signed the listing. His computer
skills are unsurpassed. Both have wonderful personalities and you can’t keep from enjoying being around them. Together, they do a great job and are a great team.
Cherie is a strong and very knowledgeable person when it comes to marketing houses on the river. She has a great web site. Cherie just seems to possess a keen attention to detail and the unique ability to
“read people”. With her determined approach, she has proven to be a winner once again. She brought us a contract on August 13th (126 days later)! She was a valuable negotiator for us during the offering
stage of the contract, proving her loyalty as my agent, and that she had our best interests in mind. She was able to get us a fair market price, which we were happy with. It has been a wonderful experience
knowing Cherie and Mike and doing business with them. We agree with your mission statement and feel we have received “Service we deserve with people that we can trust”
With best regards,
Anson and Diane Christian
Cherie was referred to us by a friend in the real estate field. It didn’t take us long to figure out why: She’s the Best! She took time to get to know us and thus know the king of home that would best suit our
needs. Throughout the “Process”, Cherie was there. Our questions were answered promptly and where investigation was required, she did so in a most timely manner.
Our situation involved an extra measure of what makes Cherie so special. A few days before closing, we suffered a death in the family. Cherie went well beyond the call of duty, well beyond what one usually
expects from their real estate agent. She rearranged everything to minimize complications that could have arisen. We realized that not only was she treating us like valued clients; she was treating us like people for whom she cared and for whom she had true compassion.
Our move to Cleveland has been wonderful. Working with Cherie Welsh was a big part of that. We would recommend her to anyone looking for integrity, professionalism and know-how in their agent.
Debbie and Joel Huffstetler
Cherie,
Just a little note to let you know how much we appreciate all you have done in selling our house and helping us find another one. We really like our new house and have been really busy getting everything moved and together.
I know that it makes a huge difference in the agent you pick when trying to sell a home. We found that out very quickly after having ours on the market last year for 4 months and it was only shown twice the
whole time. I made sure that I would pick an agent the next time I put it on the market that I felt would work hard in trying to sell it.
Also, you and your husband make a great team. You always returned our phone calls and always got answers to any questions we had. There was a world of difference from the last time we had our house on the market.
We will recommend you to anyone that we hear of that is planning on buying or selling a house. Also, thank you for the angel. She is very pretty and that was nice of you to do that.
Again, thanks for all you have done for us.
Marilyn Atchley
Cherie,
Mark and I both wanted to thank you for all your hard work on selling our home. You have made our experience so much easier! We will most definitely ask for your assistance when we decide to purchase
again! Again, thanks for all you’ve done. You’re appreciated.
Mark and Jennifer Nation
Cherie had my best interest in mind while looking for river front homes. She is compassionate about her work, yet aggressive in finding me the right first home. Her knowledge and expertise of river front homes
should make anyone interested in buying or selling a home to use Cherie.
Shea Nichols
Cherie,
Christina and I sit on our deck every night and enjoy the quiet of Lenox Hills. Our house is the dream home we never dreamed of. We laugh about the days when Christina was in Texas, trying to sell out home
there, and I was here, trying to find the right place.
I had searched the internet and every real estate publication. I was frustrated and hoping for a miracle. The agent that was originally recommended had an agenda that obviously didn’t have our best interest in mind. She brought me to listing after listing. It became obvious that she hadn’t paid attention to our needs.
Then I found you.
I abandoned the agent that had walked me through houses that she wanted me to buy…none that resembled something that my wife and I wanted. I called about one of your listings that I had found on the internet. On the long drive to the property, you told me that you hoped I would like it, but that you didn’t think it was what we were looking for. You had listened. After several days of the same, I realized that you were pondering our needs. You didn’t want my wife to show up in Tennessee disappointed.
When I had given up, certain that you were as exhausted as I was, you drove me to Lenox Hills. You were sure that it was the neighborhood we were looking for. You were right. I wanted to make an offer on a house that had been on the market only a day. It was a great home, but I was a man buying for his wife. The offer had to be contingent on Christina’s approval. It was a corporate listing and the contingency seemed impossible, but you made it happen.
You negotiated terms of our offer that allowed us time to bring Christina to Tennessee before making a commitment. You had scheduled tours of several homes, but she fell in love with ours immediately. You encouraged us to at least drive by the others, but there was no need. You were our miracle. We hope to live in the house for a long time. Thank You from both of us.
Jim and Christina Bello
Cherie,
We think you did a wonderful job. I have dealt with real estate agents in the past and never before had a real estate agent keep me informed about what was happening the way you have. You’re doing a great job.
You are very professional.
Tim Delk
Cherie,
You did a wonderful job helping me find the perfect home. Your assistance made relocation from Ohio to Cleveland. TN. very easy. Throughout the process you were available to answer my questions, make recommendations, and research the market for me. Your hard work made me feel confident about buying a home. You will definitely be the realtor I call when I need one again.
Laura Ferris
Cherie,
My family and I would like to thank you for a great job during the recent “Lake House” purchase. Your availability, professional manner and knowledge were superb. We didn’t know you before this transaction but soon became friends. We look forward to selling the cabin with you and being your new neighbor.
Gil Brewster & Family
Cherie,
Thank you for all of your thank you notes, information notes and all other just hello notes. If I had a printed survey that rated you fair to excellent, I would have to check all of them above and beyond
excellent. I have never met anyone with your knowledge, spirit, or your concern. I can truly say, “As long as I live in Cleveland, I will buy and or sell my houses through you. Thank you so much for all
that you have done for our family.
Tom, Janet and Amanda Trout
Cherie,
We are so grateful! You were very professional as well as dedicated to every detail, making the process very easy for us. We, as a family thank you and Mike for making it a great experience, and for the
anticipation of our future in the lake house.
The Brewster Bunch
Cherie,
We want to thank you. You were friendly, kept us informed all the time and you were always positive and cheerful. Thanks so much Cherie I know that ours was a tough case.
Nathan and Heather Hass
Cherie;
I am taking this opportunity to let everyone with GMAC know how satisfied my wife and I were with the professional and personalized service that we received from Cherie Welsh.
We purchased our home during the summer of 2000 and since have referred many friends to your firm. Cherie worked diligently on our behalf while we were trying to relocate from Michigan. Also, we are
first time homeowners; she made our buying experience easy and exciting. I have just recently contacted Cherie about another piece of property. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.
She represents herself and your firm very well.
Jeff Evans
Cherie,
Our family has been totally satisfied with the manner in which Cherie conducts business. Cherie is warm and caring, but also goal oriented. In our opinion, she is “Top Notch”. We are very excited about our new purchase and plan to obtain many years of family memories. Cherie helped our family find the perfect place for our family to share together.
Thank You
Jason & Karen Blomdahl
Cherie,
When we began thinking about buying a house instead of renting one when we moved back to the Cleveland area, we both knew we were academically challenged due to our lack of knowledge about the entire process of buying a home. Additionally, we were financially challenged due to the short amount of time I had spent in my career and the burden of maintaining two households during the transition from my previous job in northern Tennessee. To us, you served as educator, motivator and trusted friend during the process of finding, and ultimately purchasing our home. Every time we had a question or concern, your door and phone were always available day or night. It was sheer luck that landed us in your office. As I recall, we answered an ad for an apartment rental that you had placed. It was the
initial conversation with you over the telephone that actually sparked our interest in buying in lieu of renting.
In the past year, I have run across a few people that are looking at buying a home in the near future. I keep the stack of business cards that you gave us in my car, and I always have one available when
this situation occurs. We would recommend you to anyone we know. That’s your reward for being so gracious and professional. And, when we decide to sell our home (6 or 7 years, right?), we would
be fortunate if you would again agree to be our personal agent
Thanks for all you’ve done for us,
Keith and Monica Newell
Cherie
Thank you for doing a fine job selling my home. The fact that my home lasted 4 days on the market is a testament to your “cutting-edge” marketing techniques. Thanks for your help. You made my
“home-selling” experience as smooth and stress free as possible. Best wishes and good luck.
Sincerely,
Steve Boudrie
P.S. I really like my job at this point, I made the right choice.
To whom it may concern
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the professionalism and performance displayed by Cherie and Mike Welsh. As the owner of five homes, I have had opportunities to work with several
real estate professionals. Without exception my experience with Cherie and Mike was the most rewarding. They not only took care of my expectations, but also exceeded my expectations in areas such as
communication of the market conditions, pricing advice, negotiation advice and responsiveness to requests. In some cases, where general maintenance was needed, they hired a contractor to perform
the work and allowed me to reimburse them later. Living 100 plus miles away from the two homes I was selling, the personalized service allowed me to concentrate on my business while they concentrated
on the business of selling my homes. I would highly recommend this Husband and Wife team for all of your real estate needs.
Wes Wise
Delighted Customer of Cherie and Mike Welsh
Cherie
I knew when I saw your picture and credentials, you’d sell our home. AND THAT YOU DID! You were very understanding and there for me when I was down and very sad. But, you held your head high and continued to get the job done. You seemed like part of the family and you still are. I sure miss talking to you. You’ve been wonderful to work with. You did what you said you would, and you sold our home within a few months! Cherie, you are the best!!
Thanks so much,
Your friends
Patti and Dennis Cox
Buying or selling a home is generally a traumatic or stressful time for most people. But, the right real estate agent can make the process less trying.
We were so fortunate to have found the perfect agent to guide us through the buying procedure—Cherie Welsh.
Cherie, besides being very competent, is a charming, always smiling person who was genuinely concerned that the home we chose would be the right one for us. She answered any questions or concerns we had and was always quick to respond to phone calls, follow-up, walkthroughs etc.
Things we might not have considered, she was quick to bring to our attention and always kept us informed of any potential problems we might need to be aware of. And, only after proper inspections and so forth
were to our satisfaction, did she set up a prompt closing.
We would certainly recommend her to family or friends as the best real estate agent we’ve ever dealt with.
Sincerely,
A.J. and Sue Tate
Working with Mike and Cherie was a pleasure. Cherie provided us with enough data to feel comfortable with
setting a realistic price for our home.
Cherie’s follow through with every aspect of the sale lasted to the closing table resulting in a superior closing. I felt like I was dealing with a seasoned professional. Cherie and Mike treat their profession
as exactly that, and not a “hobby”. They were always there when I needed them.
Mike & Trish Whitlatch
Having dealt with real estate agents in the past,never have I had an agent that kept me informed of every detail, large or small, the way you did. Had I not known differently, I would have thought that I was your only client.
“Thank You” is just not enough to express my feelings for your help and interest in the home and my situation. You made a very trying situation easier.
Your guidance and knowledge of “The Business”, made me feel confident in the decisions that had to be made.
A new and I hope longtime friend has come out of this. You certainly have found your nitch in life.
Brenda Fredericks
May I take this opportunity to comment Cherie Welsh for her professionalism, integrity and efforts to get the job done; but most of all, her honesty. It is so rare in the times in which we live, to do business with a person who can perform her job in a manner of speaking or in writing and the client is able to trust her word.
Cherie is great and we enjoyed selling our property with such a great realtor.
Carol Wright
A word to describe her-WOW. After a chance meeting in a cellular service store, we ended up with one of the best realtors a family could need.
Cherie immediately contacted and met with me to discuss her work ethics and business strategies without being overbearing but with just enough insistence and confidence that we knew she was the realtor for us.
Her husband Mike was the perfect compliment and asset to the team. He would come over and take pictures, all the while engaging me and our rambunctious 2 year old in lively conversation.
Due to Cherie’s vast association of realtors in the area, she was able to connect with a colleague and diligently work to get our home sold within a week of it’s being placed on the market! We must confess,
we were amazed and pleasantly surprised at the quick turn around.
Through everything, the initial meeting, marketing and overwhelming process of never-ending paperwork, Cherie was a remarkable realtor and a great person to know. You will definitely be happy with her.
The Foxes’
Working with Cherie Welsh was like one-two-three.
Coming from nearly 2,400 miles away, we had only ten days in which to find and purchase a property. Setting our schedule, Cherie stated, ”After three days of looking at properties, I believe you will
make an offer on the fourth day!” And we did just that.
Cherie is truly a professional in every way, from the beginning to the end!
Lee and Patricia Evans
Cherie,
You did great job of marketing our home. We had previously listed with another realtor, however, you did more in six weeks that they did in six months.
I have been recommending you to my friends.
You can quote us as saying, “If you want to change your sign from FOR SALE to SOLD,” get Cherie Welsh to sell your home.
Bob & Donna Hendren
Cherie,
Lucy and I appreciated working with you. Your suggestions regarding financing, home inspection, insurance, and the list of contractors have been extremely helpful. Two contractors have already
commented favorably on the price we paid. The home inspectors report will aid us in planning future work to be done.
Bob & Lucy Snell
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into selling my vacation house on the Hiwassee River. I know that you worked really hard and there is no question in my mind that you definitely “earned your keep”.
I was especially impressed with the way You and Mike handled the problems that occurred during the heavy rains
of 2004. Since I was out of state a the time, it would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, or me to have remedied the problems without your substantial involvement. As I believe I indicated at the time, you truly went “above and beyond” in providing services that would not normally be expected from a realtor.
Continued success.
Ken Starr
It was great working with Cherie. We have completed many real estate transactions over the past few years, but never had the opportunity to work with her before. We had been looking for waterfront property for at least five years, but had not been successful until we had a brief conversation with Cherie, telling her what we were wanting. Within two weeks, she called us with the perfect property for us: The right house on a gorgeous piece of property on the main channel of the Hiwassee River. We made the offer on the spot, because it was the perfect fit for us.
Every time we walk through the front door and see the water, we are reminded how fortunate we were that she was on the look out for us. We are still amazed that she understood exactly what we wanted through a quick phone conversation. It was obvious to us that she really knows the market.
We would highly recommend her to anyone else interested in waterfront property. It was such a pleasure working with her through the process until we closed the deal.
