Cheryl's endless energy, enthusiasm, judgment and infectious humor are reflected in how her business has grown after having come to Maine from downtown Boston. “We came up for a weekend away 28 years ago, and left with an offer on a house we literally ran through (did it have a furnace?)! Cheryl had worked in sales and design, so the move to real estate was a natural. She’s knowledgeable, creative, energetic, fun to work with and protective of her clients’ interests. It’s that combination that works. “This is one of biggest decisions in someone’s life and I have the utmost respect for that. Being available and getting back to clients immediately, is key.”

"In order to successfully find and purchase the home you love, you need a person who is a full time Broker, who listens and whose judgment you can trust. I will do whatever it takes to make it work.” She has a designer’s eye-- that creative ability to see potential in homes other Brokers might overlook, to see ways to make a property work for her Buyers without costing them a fortune. She has a knack for finding the perfect home as it comes on the market, sometimes, even before it hits the market.

For her, selling is all about the visual. “If a property feels ‘right’ to a prospective Buyer, they will spend more time at that property and bond with it”. Having been the stylist and photo director for a design firm in Boston, Cheryl maintains that “staging is a natural process for a product to look its best and a home becomes a "product" once it goes on the market. Not only is a Buyer’s first impression when entering a home paramount, but the photos on the web that represent a property are equally as important. It is that first impression a Buyer gets when surfing the net and if the property does not look intriguing in the photos, a Buyer will simply skip to the next property”. So, if her Sellers are game, she will spend days staging their property by de-cluttering, rearranging furniture, adding touches to appeal to perspective Buyers, often times with her own "stash" of staging items. When necessary to refresh a home, the money spent by Cheryl for her Seller is minimal and the result well worth the effort. “When you are selling a home, you can’t live in it the way you normally have. You have to allow a prospective Buyer the opportunity to imagine their lives in that space.”

Cheryl is a past Realtor of the Year and served on The Realtor’s Giving Back Committee, Realtor’s Harvesting Good Will and the Coastal Mountain Council of the Mid-Coast Board of Realtors. She has volunteered at the Aldermere Farm in Rockport, was a volunteer for Merryspring’s Kitchen Tour, a past member on the board of the Alford Lake Lermond Pond Association, a long time member of The Rockport Boat Club and is a past committee member of Camden’s Parking, Traffic & Transportation Committee.

“Simply put, relocating here was the best thing we ever did.” Cheryl lives in Camden with her husband, artist Dan Daly (www.dalyart.com) and their “fur child” Boo.
