We recently completed a challenging purchase with Cheri as our representative and we can could not have been more pleased with her professionalism and diligence. These traits also extend to her entire team including her husband and fellow broker, Martin, who offered invaluable insight throughout the purchase. Our transaction was difficult on many levels because it was an civil-war era home that needed repairs. The due diligence process was long and arduous but Cheri was patient and had a great sense of when to hold firm on issues and when to relent on those that were not so critical. She is a seasoned and savvy negotiator who understands that a win-win mindset more often gets the deal done.
Several times over the last few years we tried unsuccessfully to either go it alone or use an out-of-town broker for representation and every time those deals were lost. We learned our lesson the hard way and decided we needed a local expert with deep ties to the community and a wealth of local knowledge. I am convinced that the only way we were able to complete our deal was through Cheri’s outstanding relationships with the local professionals who touched the transaction. From the home inspector to the lender to the myriad of contractors she helped coordinate, it was apparent to us that everyone appreciated and respected her straightforward and professional approach and ability to get deals done. Most importantly to us, she does what she says she will do and she does it well, while always keeping her clients fully informed and their best interests at heart. Honesty and forthright communication are too often lacking in real estate transactions and we can confidently say that Cheri considers these as basic tenets of her business and because of this it is no surprise that she has been so successful. We unequivocally and wholeheartedly recommend Woodard Realty to anyone considering a transaction in Rappahannock County or the surrounding area.
