Sheri Allen

I am writing the highest possible recommendation for the excellent job done by Sheri Foley Allen and her team when I put my townhouse on the market in the spring of 2021. I contacted two other agents before selecting Sheri. One agent that came out to the house about 6 month before it went on the market suggested a listing price $120,000 under the final sales price. Another agent suggested that tens of thousands of dollars needed to be spent to renovate all the bathrooms, get rid of a lot of dated furniture and make other major changes. After those changes were made, she said the townhouse could be listed for $80,000 less than the final sales price.Sheri was the agent for the sellers when I originally bought the house in 2004. In addition to the work I was already doing, (taking down wallpaper, painting, etc.) she recommended some minor upgrades (new carpet) which kept the total costs prior to listing at a very manageable amount. In addition, Sheri arranged for a drone video of the property which was very professionally done and had the house staged perfectly. Because of her excellent understanding of the market and what buyers are looking for, the house was on the market for just two days and there were several contract offers before it was sold for far more than the listing price.Sheris team includes a woman who makes the final touches on staging the house and a woman who seems to be able to sell almost anything. Everything I wanted to sell, or it would have been put in the junk, was sold quickly and for a good price. She worked miracles.I thought about selling the house myself with no agent what a mistake that would have been. Sheri negotiated a sales price far, far above what I would have gotten if I sold it without an agent.If you have a house to sell anywhere in Northern Virginia and dont use Sheri Foley Allen, you will be making a mistake. I would rate her and her team 11 out of 10!

Selling a house involves many different abilities from understanding real estate markets, governmental regulations, and legal and financial aspects of home sales to an artistic eye. Professionals need the abilities to analyze a sellers needs and wants and to provide professional, yet personable, advice and counsel. Regardless of the ability required, Sheri Foley Allen and her team were ALWAYS at the top of their game. Every step of the way, they were spot on.From the beginning, we were impressed. Sheri and her team educated us about the entire home sale process and were physical participants, joining us each step of the way. They gently helped us see what features and accents were needed to reflect the values intrinsic in our house. As a result, their expertise and professionalism made those values shine in the publicity for and the presentation of the house.Throughout the house-selling process Sheri Foley Allen and her team consistently offered this same cheerful, expert assistance whenever we needed it, for as long as we needed it, regardless of the day or the time. They answered our questions, held our hands, explained the myriad processes involved in selling a house, and offered insightful counsel.Their accurate and excellent guidance put us in an excellent position for the sale. They even physically joined us at the closing. After closing, Sheri and team continued to touch base with us, making sure our move was going well and that we had all our questions answered. By the end, it was much more than a professional relationship; it was a friendship. And, we were sorry to be moving away from such accomplished and admirable people.We can most enthusiastically recommend Sheri Foley Allen and her team to anyone considering selling their home. The service they provide will always be professional as well as caring. And, the results will be impressive and satisfying. Sheri Foley Allen and team have our gratitude in more ways than we can begin to express.Sincerely,James and Rebecca Ferrall

We highly recommend Sheri Foley Allen and her team. They were awesome from start to finish, providing professional and personal service. The listing presentation was organized and was based on factual information gathered from multiple listing and tax data. Sheris knowledge of the market area is impressive which was key for determining our list price. Her team worked together to stage our home, making it one of the most attractive presented on the MLS. Yes, you get a team! We are sure this helped us get multiple offers. Communication throughout the process was frequent and easy. The Sheri Foley Allen Team handled all the details from getting the homeowners documents to coordinating settlement at an office that was convenient to our home. You definitely get what you pay for, and it was well worth using this professional Realtor. The commission was fair, and the services provided resulted in us accepting an offer well above list price.

Sheri Foley Allen and her team were knowledgeable, detail-oriented and professional from beginning to end. From the sale of my condo to the purchase of a new home, they provided expert advice and guided us through the whole process. Top notch team!

Sheris professionalism and understanding of the market enabled us to sell quickly and over asking price. She was responsive and honest when answering all of our many questions, and we truly appreciated her advice on how to best get through the process. We have bought/sold several times and Sheri is by far the best, most professional realtor that we have ever worked with. If you are looking for a realtor, I highly recommend reaching out to Sheri.

The quality of services provided by Sheri Foley and team at Weichert Realtor is top notch. From the accurate market analysis performed before each sale, through the sales preparation and finally completion of the settlement, , she ensures all goes off without a hitch.Sheri Foley's team at Weichert provides the very best real-estate sales support in the National Capital Region. I Would highly recommend them above any other real-estate services in the area. I have been a repeat customer through six purchases and sales transactions, and with each transaction, I am made to feel as if it's my first because of how they prioritize my transaction requirements. The knowledgeable staff, professionalism, dedication, and commitment to customers makes them nothing short of outstanding!

I recently sold a townhouse in Woodbridge with Sheri. I wanted a local agent who really understands the market and not just blindly set a selling price based on what the "numbers" show. I interviewed several agents before committing and thought Sheri did a superb job explaining to me the market and selling price. During the week my house went on the market, there were a ton of other similar townhouses that came on the market in my zip code. I saw a lot of them priced much higher but I trusted Sheri's instincts and stuck with our strategy. Ultimately, it paid off and my house went under contract in four days with a contract price that was more than generous. Meanwhile, some of the other townhouses that were priced much higher than mine languished and eventually had to drop their price tag quite a bit. I think Sheri and her team's biggest strength is staging. Not all agents will help out with staging but Sheri and her team have tons of experience in this area and really made my house shine. It made a huge difference and I really appreciated her for doing that. Sheri has been in the industry for a long time and has good instincts. I would highly recommend her.

The Sheri Foley Allen Team made selling our house a breeze! From our first meeting with Sheri, we knew we had found an experienced and knowledgeable agent. Sheri explained the rare market that we were experiencing and the pros and cons of selling our house at this time. She targeted a selling price that was right in line with the market. This was no easy feat, given the comps in the area were all over the place. To say the least, it was a tricky market. Sheri and team were able to provide us with the perfect suggestions to spruce up the house to make it more appealing to buyers and even recommended a contractor who was able to jump in quickly and get the work done rapidly.Sheris team are experts at staging! They took are lack luster interior decorating and made our house look like a model home. We had many comments on how beautiful the home looked after they performed their magic. They provided plants, pictures, miscellaneous dcor, and bedding throughout the home. All of this is included in the services they provide!One of the greatest benefits of The Sheri Foley Allen Team is that they are truly a team. They are experienced, dedicated professionals who work together seamlessly. We could call or text anyone on the team and get an immediate response. There was no time in the process that we questioned what was next; we knew exactly where we stood from renovations, staging, listing, selling, and closing. From our initial meeting to closing took less than 45 days, which included two weeks for us to paint and update the flooring. In two days, we had two strong offers and accepted an offer above asking price.We would like to publicly thank Sheri, Susan, and Lesley for knocking it out of the park for us and making what could have been a very stressful and difficult process very smooth and actually enjoyable! We highly recommended anyone considering purchasing and/or selling your home to reach out to The Sheri Foley Allen Team. You will not regret it.

Sheri along with her team members that I communicated with are all personable, I never felt that I was being kept in the dark about any details of the sale. Sheri understood what I was wanting out of the sale and she quickly got that. When I first met Sheri she was very well prepared, she presented literature on everything from her team and what was going on with sales of like homes. I really liked what they did with the virtual staging of the house. She made the process stress free for me which was big difference from the realtor I worked with when I originally purchased the house. I will recommend her to anyone needing a realtor.

Sheri is the best, I really don't know how else to say it. My wife and I are first-time buyers and were really struggling with another realtor. We met Sheri because she was the selling agent on yet another amazing house that our previous agent had missed the ball on. She seemed knowledgeable of the Woodbridge area and we were fed up with our realtor, so we figured we'd give her a shot. This turned out to be the best thing we could have done. Sheri is genuinely amazing. I wrote ridiculously long and detailed emails and she read every word. Not only that, but she took the time to answer every question with the same level of detail and always made sure we were well informed. She was exceedingly responsive (often within minutes, even on weekends) and accommodating with our busy schedule. She did an amazing job guiding us through the process from the beginning to the end, and even after. The selling agent was exceedingly unpleasant, but Sheri maintained her composure throughout our dealings and truly served as an effective agent. She wasnt just a middleman for communications, she saw us through unpleasant negotiations and provided sound advice. After closing on the house we discovered that the selling agent had wrongfully left the keys to our new house at the wrong settlement office after repeatedly saying shed done differently. The selling agent refused to do anything to rectify the situation outside of mailing the keys to us at some point. Sheri drove from Woodbridge to Sterling and back on a Friday, during rush hour, just to make sure we could get into our house as soon as possible. The paperwork was done and the commission was hers; she could have just told us she was sorry and had them mail them to us, but she went above and beyond to take care of us. Sheri is truly amazing. When we started this whole process we felt foolish because our expectations of a realtor were based on what wed seen on movies and TV, but that was clearly not the case with our first realtor. We were apprehensive at best when we began our relationship with Sheri, but we were lucky to have found her. Its been over a month since closing and were rather busy and theres no real benefit for me to write this review, but I felt compelled. Sheri deserves all the success in the world and Id be happy to help in any way possible, but theres more to it than that. This is a review I wish I had seen when looking for a realtor because it would have saved my wife and I a lot of frustration. Any buyer would be lucky to have Sheri in their corner.

Sheri and her team listened to our needs, and provided us with excellent support. They professionally staged our house and advertised it adequately. The results: we had numerous offers much faster than we expected and sold the house at our asking price.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. The whole team was responsive and went above and beyond my expectations every step of the way. Initially, Sheri and her team were my eyes as I was moving across the country and needed to quickly find a short-term rental. They worked all the details and helped us through all the processes to get something that worked for my family. Once we arrived in the area they continued to help us find the perfect house. They were flexible and responsive and I felt they really cared about making sure we were and every little detail was taken care of throughout the whole process. Many thanks to Sheri and the team for making our transition to the area seamless. Highly recommended!!

Sheri was very, very good. She's a real pro and kept me informed at all times of what was going on. She was excellent at making the process free of stress and aggravation. Of course the proof is in the results and Sheri helped get my place sold very quickly for the price I asked. I don't hesitate recommending her to anyone interested in a true professional.

Sheri Allen is by far the most professional and honest Realtor I have ever worked with! Sheri helped us sell our home and buy our current home. Sheri's team is very experienced and accommodating to your needs as a client. I am very thankful for Sheri, her team and the level of dedication they have for their profession.

Sheri, I just wanted to drop a line to say Hi and Thank you! I knew you were a fabulous agent when you helped me buy in 2008 BUT I now realize how amazing you were as my listing agent in 2013. You educated me on the market, comps and what price would allow me to sell in time for my wedding. You keep me abreast of progress even all at all times of the night. Even though we had a few curveballs along the way, you were right there when I needed you. The staging was amazing and we sold FAST! My husband and I are building a new home and we have our current home for sale. I wish I could say the same for the agent we are working with... I've learned that there are tons of agents out there.. but not all are gems like you. I can't thank you enough

Sheri not only negotiated the sale of my elderly parents townhouse, but also arranged the shipment of their household furniture and vehicle from Virginia to Oregon. She is extremely proficient in all aspects of the selling and moving process. My parents could not be more satisfied with every facet of her work and on top of everything else, she has the ability to smooth out any rough spots and relieve any anxiety or stress that inevitably occur during the selling process. Sheri's' knowledge of the proper timing to accomplish what needs to be done at various times in the process speaks to her experience in her field. She always went the extra mile to assist my parents in whatever way was needed. My parents, my wife and I could not be more satisfied with the final result and believe the process would have been much more stressful and difficult without her expertise.

Sheri has assisted us on two real estate transactions to date, most recently the sale of our home in Manassas, VA. Sheri was very knowledgeable on current market trends, buyer mentality for getting our house show ready and providing valuable input during the negotiation process. Sheri and her team stay well connected so her overall responsiveness is excellent via cell, text and email communication lines. In summary, Sheri's professional services and marketing expertise resulted in a quick sale of our home at our target price.

Sheri and her team were a pleasure to work with. Their knowledge about the local housing market helped us sell our home very quickly for full asking price. The team's suggestions for getting the house market-ready were accurate and Sheri's contacts in the area were reliable and affordable. The team's attention to detail - from staging to closing - made the entire process seamless and minimized the stress of selling our first home!

There are no words to express how wonderful Sheri and her team are!!! They went above and beyond in selling of our home. My husband and I couldn't have done it without Sheri and Karie Ann!!! From coming in and giving us suggestions to help us sell, to the staging, all the way through the signing of the documents - they were there. Beyond being a great realtor and having great teammates, she is a wonderful, caring, beautiful person. I was really sick when we sold our home and there was Sheri, offering to help me with that, too!!! My husband had already moved to our new home in a different state and knowing I was alone - she offered to help me - how many realtors do that!!!

I highly recommend Sheri Foley Allen to you as your trusted real estate agent. Through all of my many military moves in dealing with buying and selling homes, no one has come close to the expertise, professionalism, and willingness to always go the extra mile for her clients. She was an absolute delight to work with and she eliminated the stress in the entire selling process.

I have purchased four houses, and sold two, with Sheri's help over the last 19 years. She is an outstanding realtor, and what's more, she is an amazing person. she always goes the extra mile for her clients, and this makes her stand out. She remembers all the little things you might not know or forget to look for when buying/selling a house. Sheri is very straightforward and you can trust that the information she gives you is well researched and accurate. If you want the best, then contact Sheri!

Sheri made our first homebuying experience painless; she worked with our crazy schedules to meet and see homes. Her team kept us up to date with the latest listings and when it came time to negotiate, it was a huge relief to know that she was representing us. Sheri's knowledge about Prince William County is extensive, and she understands how the character of many areas has changed in the last 20 years. Her history in this area and expertise made it easy for us to narrow down where we did and did not want to live and our time was never wasted on listings that just weren't for us. Lastly, Sheri is so warm and friendly that it was a real pleasure to work with her and spend time with her through many, many viewings! We would absolutely recommend her to any prospective buyers and will definitely be seeking her service when it's time for us to sell.

Sheri is just awesome! I was buying my first home and I contacted Sheri's office. When I called, Sheri answered and right away I knew I had found the right real estate agent. She was kind and during our first interaction she promptly took my information and assured me that she would assist me with finding my new home right away. Sheri is very responsive. Whenever I called or emailed her, she always provided a prompt response. Sheri made me feel like finding my home was priority. Sheri is also very knowledgeable as she answered all my questions and addressed my concerns during the home buying process. Overall, Sheri is a wonderful person, she's honest and she definitely helped lessen the stresses of the home buying process. If you're still looking for a real estate agent, stop looking and call Sheri.

We were desperate to sell our house in this down turn economy. We had just ended a contract with a real estate agent we had used before and who came highly recommended, but when our house didn't sell we were almost ready to reconsider our decision to accept new jobs and sell our beloved house. Sheri is not only knowledgeable, but has an incredible design ability to stage a house to sell. Within a week of signing with her, our home looked like a model home. We almost decided to take it off of the market because it looked so beautiful. We got a contract within a few weeks and sold it to an incredible family. Sheri Foley was knowledgeable, responsive, but above all she cared. I knew that we were in good hands by the emotional support she provided during the stress of selling our dream home. It is hard to find exemplary service in an era when everything is online, but I highly recommend Sheri Foley if you want a Real Estate Agent who knows this business and cares about you more than flipping your house.

I have known Sheri for almost 15 years, and she has represented me in the sale and purchase of two different homes - one in 2000, and again in 2013. She is an extremely professional and talented real estate agent that served my interests to the highest degree. My most recent transactions proved to be one of the most challenging for her (in my opinion) since I was serving in an overseas assignment, and needed to sell my old house and downsize into a new house and subsequently move all within the space of a six week home leave. Sheri rose to the challenge tremendously, and amazingly everything worked out better than I ever could have expected. She helped me find contractors to get my old house fixed up to put on the market, and she and her team staged the house so that it looked gorgeous and picture perfect for viewings. We had a full purchase price offer within 24 hours of being on the market. Sheri's team then swung into action to help me find a new house to move into, and we found my dream house and went to closing just a few weeks later. I couldn't be happier with the way things worked out, and none of this would have been possible without Sheri!

We selected Sheri primarily due to her knowledge of the local neighborhood and market. Not only did she surpass our expectations in market knowledge, she helped us negotiate through a challenging contract negotiation. Without her we would not have sold our home!

Sheri is outstanding in every way. My husband and I had far from a normal (if there is one) listing and sale of our home. My husband became very ill shortly after we listed, we were out of state on vacation, and I was not able to return to Lake Ridge until after our home sold a few months later. It would have sold earlier if I had not had to back off because we were in constant crisis with my husband. I say all that to say this: Sheri was responsive (and caring!) in every possible way during this time. She is a consummate professional, and I cannot possibly put into words how much her support, encouragement, as well as the above ratings of her knowledge, expertise, responsiveness and negotiation skills meant to me. At one of the worst times of my life she was there, and I cannot say enough to express my gratitude to her and her team for all of their efforts on our behalf. Sheri is one of a kind!

Our experience selling our home with Sheri and her team was wonderful! Right from the start Sheri was more prepared and knowledgeable than the other agents we interviewed. She was always available to answer our questions promptly and gave us the information we need to feel comfortable every step of the way on the sale of our first home. The whole team was very professional and courteous throughout the whole process. Sheri was very considerate of our situation and always looked out for our interests. The staging, provided without charge, is a must! Our home looked like a model and it helped us stand out against the competition. We're happy to say Sheri was able to get us multiple full price offers within a few days of going on the market. She also prepared a fantastic package of comps to help with the appraisal. We would highly recommend Sheri for anyone looking to sell their home.

Sheri was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She was very specific in telling us what we needed to do to sell our house. Her team was very effective in staging the house for potential buyers. They even brought in pieces to accent existing rooms. We would recommend Sheri Foley Allen to anyone who would like to sell their house quickly. We had an offer in 2 days and closed in one month.

Sheri and her team were absolutely amazing! She walked us through every step of the way. Being so familiar with the area, she helped us determine the best time to put our house on the market. Sheri helped us set an appropriate price, based on past home sales in our area. Then Sheri helped us to stage our home--and had professional pics and video taken. Within three days of being on the market, we had three offers on our home--one 5k over asking price. The rest of the sale moved so smoothly. We could not believe it! Throughout the process, Sheri and her team (esp Susan) were always available to us. They answered questions quickly--either in person or via email. Sheri was invaluable in our home sale process. I really don't think we could have done it without her and her creative & hard working team! I cannot recommend Sheri enough--her experience and knowledge of Prince William County was outstanding!

I have known Sheri Foley Allen for several years and she has assisted me with the buying and selling process of our home. She went above and beyond to find us exactly what we wanted and was extremely knowledgeable with the process. She is someone I can always count on in the future.

I spent the greater part of my 18 years in my neighborhood watching yearly the sale of houses knowing I may need to move at any time and found time and again Sherri was the best performer. When it was time to select a realtor I interviewed several from the radio shows to neighborhood realtors. I selected Sherri because of her proven success and even more for her professionalism. She is " all in" when it comes to the sale not doing this as a casual business and if I had another home in the area to sell I would again choose her!

Sheri and her team are truly focused on both the personal stressors of transition and the professional aspects of real estate. She lives up to her values and her philosophy of helping people navigate selling and buying a home in a way that is simply unmatched in my 25 years of a dozen military moves. With superb market awareness, talented staging capabilities, and a truly genuine approach, she delivered in under 30 days on my latest sale while maximizing my return in a stalling sellers' market. Sheri and her team are simply the best! If you desire a personal touch, the utmost in professionalism, and above all results, Sheri is your agent. I'll definitely team with her on my next deal in Northern Virginia!

We've bought and sold twice with Sheri throughout the years. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is a consummate professional. I negotiate contracts for a living, so its wonderful to work with someone I can see clearly understands and can competently navigate the process. Always responsive and honest, you can't go wrong with Sheri.

Sheri Allen has been a realtor for several of our family members over the past 20 years and has done an amazing job. She is friendly, respectful, dependable, reliable, but most of all compassionate for both her clients and her job. We would not hesitate to recommend Sheri to anyone who needs a realtor for both buying or selling.

Sheri Foley Allen and her team are the very best top professional team in Virginia! My experience was stellar in everyway. Her communication skills, knowledge about the selling market, artistic talent in staging and preparing my property, negotiating and personal skills made my selling experience very positive! There were four offers the first day and this was the result of her excellent work!

The Sheri Foley Allen Team enabled us to sell two properties and each time they performed like a highly professional, skilled TEAM that cared about our properties and resulted in the achievement of our real estate goals! We refer the Sheri Foley Allen Team to everyone that is considering selling their house. Attributes that distinguish the Sheri Foley Team from other realtors include: They will stage your property WITHOUT any additional fees. They will take and post highly professional photos also WITHOUT additional fees. In anticipation of selling our second house at a future time, they even provided us suggestions when we were updating our kitchen to help us make the best choices that would be very marketable to prospective buyers. I don't know of any other agents who will do that. The entire team is highly skilled, extremely responsive and was willing to provide all of the support required to address all of the details necessary to facilitate the sale of our house. All of this was done in a friendly, professional manner, and would be well worth the full commission rate. However, the Sheri Foley Allen Team will provide all of this for less than a full commission. If you are considering selling your home, recommend you interview the Sheri Foley Allen Team first. You will be delighted with their awareness of the housing market, recommendations to prepare your house for sale, and all of the assistance they will provide which will result in the timely sale of your home at a price that will make you pleased.

Miss Allen was the most professional real estate agent I have ever worked with I have sold a home before and working with her was great She is super intelligent and knowledgeable about the market very responsive and timely on everything loved working with her and would work with her again I highly recommend her as a real estate agents I would not hesitate to work with her again her entire staff as well with superb the entire time and pitched in and did things that were above and beyond the typical duties of an agent for an office to help me in the process very courteous and very personable compassionate especially when during the process I had to put my dog to sleep she constantly gave me feedback the rest selling process and expert advice and very ethical again I would not hesitate to use Miss Allen again. Less

Sheri Foley-Allen is simply amazing! I moved from the Northern Virginia area in 2007, right before the housing bust. Sheri worked with me over the course of 8 years to keep me abreast of the market conditions. I decided to sell this year. She was outstanding, pricing my home perfectly, taking outstanding pictures and working with my tenant to get my home to market FAST. My home sold in 6 HOURS within my asking price. All I had to do was e-sign documents from my cell-phone. Sheri is the ultimate professional and knows her craft. She is caring and knowledgeable. Who could ask for anything more.

Sheri is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Whenever we had a question, she got back to us as soon as possible with thorough answers. She also had a great sense of what we were looking for, so we found something we loved really quickly. We had never bought a home before and she didn't hesitate to spend as much time as needed walking us through the process. She provided guidance throughout the entire process and walked us through the steps of becoming home owners with a great deal of finesse. We were so happy to have her as our realtor and would go to her again in a heartbeat (though we plan to be in this house for a long time)

I would recommend Sheri to anyone buying a home in the Northern Virginia area. Sheri has helped me purchase four homes over the last 20+ years in the area, most recently this summer. She has a no-nonsense approach and will tell you like it is.. If she spots an issue with a home she will raise a red flag, rather than trying to make a sale.. She has a keen eye for bright spots and weak points inside and out each home. I don't plan on moving anytime soon, but if I buy a second home, I'll be calling Sheri back to help me!

Sheri was introduced to me as "the world's greatest realtor", and she didn't disappoint. The very first time we met, she talked to me for an hour about how selling my home would work, how the process of buying a new home would go, what the numbers looked like. Lots of information, very detailed, incredibly thorough. By contrast another realtor I met with talked for 10 or 15 minutes and then simply said, "Any questions?" Sheri and her team did a fantastic job of staging my condo. I'm a single guy with no eye at all for decorating or furniture layout. They swooped in, moved my couch and beds and bookcases around and threw in a bunch of simple pictures and flowers and other little decorative touches. I got a great offer from the very first people who saw it. Meanwhile, she helped me buy a new home at the same time, and that went quite smoothly as well. Sheri is just a really warm and genuine human being. That's really what it comes down to. She's truly a nice person. She also works her butt off! It seemed like no matter when I e-mailed her she'd respond within minutes, whether that was early morning or late or night or on the weekend. The poor woman, I hope she reads this and gives herself a nice vacation some time! Also a shoutout to Susan, one of her assistants. I talked with her during my home inspection and she was really fun and bubbly. What a woman!

Sheri and her team are consummate professionals. Friendly, down-to-earth, always eager to go the extra mile for their clients ... and just a lot of fun to work with. The staging transformation they performed in our house was nothing short of phenomenal ... and at no extra charge. Result: a full-price contract in less than a week! We can't imagine recommending anyone else in Northern Virginia.

I have been involved in many real estate transactions over the years and Sheri is simply the best agent I have had the pleasure to work with. She is a consummate professional. She is very knowledgeable in the myriad of issues that come up and is quick with a viable solution. Her ethics are beyond reproach. I recommend her without hesitation.

We found Sheri when we were basically 'down and out' about selling our house off Hoadly Rd (Woodbridge). We were not only in an unplanned 'must sell' situation , but the market was down and our property had some unique challenges (only home in a neighborhood without a walkout basement, for instance). Sheri immediately impressed us with her market knowledge and kind, but realistic appraisal of the situation. She told us what we needed to do, and she said could definitely sell our house. We truly cannot heap enough praise on Sheri and the TEAM. Their staging expertise absolutely transformed our house. Sheri's canny pricing advice resulted in literally thousands of Zillow hits the first weekend, and five firm offers the first day. We were under contract within days, at an offer price well above what we had listed or had hoped to expect. Bottom line, she's a genius. You could not hope for a better listing agent. There is no doubt in our mind that she would be equally good at finding you a home, though what I want to emphasize is the absolute skill that the whole team brings to the selling process.

I highly recommend working with Sheri. My husband and I recently purchased a new condo and found Sheri to have a discerning eye when viewing properties, attention to detail when preparing and negotiating the contract, and super responsive when following up and answering questions. In addition, Sheri is very personable, professional and easy to work with. At settlement, she successfully negotiated an unexpected issue. After the purchase, Sheri shared her substantial rolodex of experienced and reliable vendors/contractors to complete a few upgrades that we had planned. We were extremely happy with the overall purchase from start to finish.

Selling a house is one of life's more stressful experiences. Sheri Foley Allen's expertise, compassion and friendship smoothed out the bumps and paved the way to a successful closing. The house had a pending contract in approximately two days. Special thanks also to super members of her team - Susan, Kerry and Ben. The administrative support was outstanding, the staging enhanced the house and the photographs were outstanding. Sheri will always have a special place in our hearts and we hope she will visit us and Jamie (the cat) in our new home.

Sheri and her team are completely professional. They knew the local housing market inside and out and offered superb advice for selling our home. I would work with Sheri any time!

Sheri and her team were wonderful to deal with. The sale of our house was smooth and easy. Her team brought furniture and accessories to stage our house and the pictures/brochure came out great. It looked like a model home. We got offers after the first day and by the end of second day, we had 4 offers -- all above asking price. We were able to close on our house in 30 days. We highly recommend Sheri as she is professional and knows her stuff.
