Cherre originally sold me my beautiful home in South Orange fifteen years ago. When I decided to move within South Orange last year, she found a wonderful family to purchase my home and helped me find a fully renovated home in a better location which worked for my family. If you are interested in selling your home, Cherre has a long list of buyers to whom she can show your house. If you are interested in buying a home, Cherre has a thorough understanding of what is available on the market, which properties will be coming up for sale and how to negotiate the best price. Cherre is all about business and has a strong, creative team with good taste who work well together to achieve your goals. I highly recommend Cherre and her team.

Dear Ms. Botti and Mr. Weichert -

We wanted to submit a testimonial regarding our wonderful experience working with Weichart real estate agent Cherre Schwartz:

Deciding to move to South Orange, NJ was an exciting and daunting decision for us. Cherre was there for us every step of the way, and helped us feel confident and informed through the finding, buying and closing process of purchasing our first home. As first-time buyers, we needed a realtor who was readily available and responsive to questions and concerns. Cherre did that and more. She checked in with us post-move to see how we'd settled in and was always ready with great recommendations for contractors, dog walkers, etc. She is a part of the happy memories of our first home and we hope to work with her again when the time comes for a second.

(On a more personal note - We love you, Cherre!!)

Best Regards,

Anisha & Michael Levine

Dear Messrs. Weichert, Botti & Prevete,

I got your contact information after asking Cherre Schwartz who I could write to about her work with my family.

I live in Seattle, Washington. Two years ago I began trying to talk my elderly Mom into leaving the South Orange house my brothers and I had grown-up in — and my Mother had lived in for 50 years. My Mother was understandably reluctant, but gave me permission to talk with a realtor. I asked around the old neighborhood and then I called Cherre Schwartz.

I liked Cherre from our first conversation. She was sympathetic, relatable, and (most important) truly understood my Mom's reluctance to leave her home.

Sadly, my Mom died last spring before she could move. After she died, I contacted Cherre and asked her to meet me with my brothers at our house. It was a difficult day — only a week or two after my Mom had passed away -- and Cherre walked into a house occupied by three grieving brothers and managed to strike exactly the right tone: pragmatic, realistic, empathetic. There was no question that we wanted to work with her.

We put the house up for sale in a difficult market and, even worse, found out bit-by-bit that the structure was suffering from a bad case of deferred-maintenance. Air conditioning was broken. Pipes were leaking. Termites were feasting. Every week seemed to bring more bad news about the house — and no good news about the state of the market.

And every week I was grateful for Cherre. Acting as Administrator of an Estate from 3000 miles away is a difficult task. Cherre was there for me every step of the way, ready with a contractor recommendation, an offer to let a worker into the house, the name of a snow plow guy, or assurance that she would make sure a job was done correctly. Whenever I traveled east to check on things with my brothers, there was Cherre — coming by to visit and cheer us up.

In the end, Cherre became like family to three Kaplan boys who grew up at 316 Redmond Road. We sought her counsel with every problem, and appreciated her insight every step of the way.

More important — most important — To our family Cherre morphed from realtor to long–lost sister. When you sell a family home of 50 years, you are parting with a lot more than boards and shingles. Maybe we could have gotten the job done with another realtor, but I can't imagine that we'd have gotten the job done nearly so well – or happily – as we did with Cherre Schwartz.

Sincerely,
Robert Kaplan

Dear Jim, Jace, and Dominack,
I would like to tell you how much my husband and I appreciated the efforts that Cherre Schwartz made in selling our condominium in South Orange this past summer.

Even though our condo was very “humble” in comparison to the properties with which Cherre usually works, she and her son gave us all the respect, help and attention that we could possibly ask for. Cherre gave us excellent advice on how to inexpensively prepare and stage our home for showing. She provided our listing to several online searches and regularly provided feedback with the numbers of homebuyers who had looked at our listing online.

We were very pleased to have a signed contract within two weeks of listing. Cherre helped us negotiate with the buyer, and the entire process was quick and easy for us. She was always available to help with any problems arising leading up to closing.

We would strongly recommend Cherre to anyone looking for a realtor in the South Orange area.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Marc and Susan Mansfield

To Whom It May Concern:

We have sold two houses in South Orange in the past three years; both times, the house was under contract within a few weeks of first coming onto the market. It is only due to Cherre Schwartz's experience, guidance and determination that we could have been so fortunate to have sold twice in this difficult market.

With our first sale in the late 2006, a smaller, unique historic house that we had rented out, it was Cherre's experience in dealing with the concerns of the buyers that kept the sale on track through difficult negotiations in a buyer's market. With our most recent sale of our long-time large turn-of the century family home, it was Cherre's knowledge of how to position our house in the current market that got the job done.

Last year we visited Tuscon, Arizona and decided we wanted to move here. We had lived in our beautiful home in South Orange for 22 years, and it needed much work before we could compete in the downturned market. Even before we had returned from Tuscon, Cherre had gone thru the house several times and made lists of things we needed to do to prepare. Not only was Cherre able to provide clear guidance as to what needed to be done, she was also able to line up a WONDERFUL workman she had worked with in the past, and we were able to hit the road running as soon as we got back to New Jersey. Cherre held our hands throughout what was often a difficult and emotional process. We took her suggestions, and in the process of changing wall colors, taking up carpets and emptying the attics, we were able to let go of the house and look to the future we knew - and she knew - we wanted. We put the house on the market after Labor Day in September '08 and we were under contract just 17 days later! And that was even before the appearance of the feature that Cherre somehow managed to get into the New York Times "On the Market" section.

We now live in Tuscon, and Cherre was able to make the whole experience of leaving a house and a town that we loved a calm, focused process. We cannot say enough about her talent, dedication, and commitment in this field. She is definitely number one in our book. If anyone is looking to sell a house in New Jersey, she would be our recommendation, without hesitation.

Sincerely,

Margie and Tony Pye

Cherre Schwartz managed the impossible — she had our house on the market and sold within days of first visiting. At at time when the market was reaching its lowest, Cherre drew traffic both at open houses and weekly showings, and marketed our house aggressively, while still managing to sell our house at asking price.
Further, Cherre went above and beyond the call of duty in managing our sale and taking care of all of our house & sale issues, as we had relocated to CA and were not available to be at the house for inspections and appointments.

Cherre’s professionalism and dedication to our sale allowed us to move across country without any worries about our sale.
Even more important, Cherre made sure that we were comfortable every step of the way, and has remained in touch with us long after our sale. I have recommended Cherre to family and friends already, and would use her again in a moment if I could.

As newcomers to South Orange and New Jersey, Cherre provided us a wealth of useful information and contacts based on her professional and personal networks. Making sure that we settled into the community quickly and efficiently. She is more than a realtor, she is relocation specialist!
Cherre understands that you aren't just buying a house, your are choosing a home. She took care to listen to our needs, understand our budget and presented us with prospects that fit our family. We found our home within the first week of working with Cherre!

Ginger Jones, South Orange

We got really lucky when we found Cherre during our house hunt in the South Orange/ Maplewood area. She was extremely knowledgable about the area and very helpful throughout the buying process and beyond. Not only did we find a wonderful and professional real estate agent in Cherre, but also a great friend. We still keep in touch after 2 years of buying our home. If we decide to move, we will surely ask for Cherre's help in finding our new home.

Yogini and Jay Shroff, South Orange, NJ

I have known Cherre for about five years even before we ever thought about selling our house in South Orange. When we decided to sale our house, we contacted 4 realtors in the area who appeared to have excellent knowledge of the area as well as good marketing expertise. Cherre was one of them. I found cherre to be the best in the attributes we were looking for. After the listing, I found cherre to be honest, upfront, helpful and very friendly to deal with. She has a charming personality so that you enjoy talking to her about anything. We wish her success in what she does best

Greg & Jennifer Eure, South Orange

We chose Cherre to sell our home in South Orange because of her outstanding track record, impressive presentation, and above all, passion for the industry and our property. Cherre delivered all of the above and more; her services pre and post contract to closing were truly ‘above and beyond’ which was helpful as we were mostly out of town during the process. We would unquestionably recommend Cherre to anyone in the area buying or selling a home who seeks both outstanding results and the desire to work with a consummate professional.

J.R ,South Orange

“Knowing how difficult it is when you are in the market to sell or purchase a home of your own, having the right person to help you throughout this trying time is so important. I have been a home owner for many years and have bought and sold many homes, but I never had a person like Cherre give me the care and concern in the real estate process. Her unique and personal touch in every aspect of the process is second to none. I felt like she knew the community and every changing market better than anyone that I have ever seen. Cherre made every effort to maximize the time of my search, listened to wheat my needs were, an led me towards my ultimate goal.”


J.K., South Orange

“We had been looking around for about a year and worked with several brokers. Cherre was a pleasure to work with, and we very much benefited from her wealth of knowledge since we were a first time buyer., She guided us through the daunting process of buying and closing on a house in a new neighborhood. In addition, she had a wide network of local contacts and referrals to help us get entrenched here. Cherre is a real professional and trustworthy realtor, and we will not hesitate to recommend her to our friends.”
