Cherre is THE BEST real estate professional we have ever worked with! She understands her clients fully, is on top of any and all issues, and gets the sale or purchase done! As long as we have known her, Cherre has been the top performer is this area every year. Once you have worked with Cherre, you always will. Jim

I met Cherre at an open house, and immediately felt her passion for the area and commitment to help everyone else feel as connected to it as she does. My husband and I moved to South Orange from Virginia about eighteen months ago, and the realtor we used showed us available houses but not much else. After speaking with us, Cherre realized that we had never been introduced to the area’s special charms or a community of people with whom we might have something in common. Even though we had not been her clients, Cherre swung into action and began our real orientation to this wonderful area. She is still connecting us to special places and new friends, making South Orange our home instead of just the place where we live.

"I have used Cherre for several transactions and have always been extremely pleased with her service. She truly goes above and beyond the norm to help achieve great results in a timely fashion. I unequivocally recommend her as the best RE broker I have worked with.

I have bought and sold a number houses before, so Cherre was not the first agent I worked with but she was the best. From the very first exploratory appointment when I felt they had all the time for me to the few complications during the purchasing process when Cherre would way "Do not worry, I will take care of this". And she always did. If my friends are buying in this area, I would really suggest that they use Cherre as their agent.

A legendary real estate agent. Has a sixth sense for what will suit you best. Knows her living areas inside out. Full of honest and useful advice about decoration, and finances. A thousand experts at her finger tips. Really fights for her clients to get the very best deal. I would recommend her to anyone.

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.

To whom it may concern

This is a note to recognize outstanding service, customer focus and a true focus toward making a move a wonderful experience.

I recently was transferring and starting a new job in NYC from Miami. My first connection with Cherre was just to get some additional info on a property she was listening but she took the time to understand my needs and go deeper.

As part of my relo package I was assigned another agent that really was not very good or knowledgeable of the area. Despite not being a agent of record Cherre still went above and beyond to share other listings that met our needs weekly along with advice and insight on West orange and surrounding areas.

My family came to NJ for a housing visit and
upon my arrival received a call again from Cherre Our assigned agent really dropped the ball on identifying good homes. Within 3 hours Cherre and Eric sent us a complete package of available homes, by the morning had a full day of homes to visit and they really did an outstanding job.

Eric came with us an not only showed homes but made my wife, 2 little girls and myself feel like we where at home. Within a day we found a perfect rental below our budget and meeting all of our needs.

From then on the outstanding service never stopped despite being in Miami. From contracts, negotiating terms, following up in everything, providing input on schools, place to eat, moving and so much more.

Even after we drove the entire way from Florida to Miami they followed up with providing our family our first meal in town.

What can I say but bravo and thanks. It's clear why they are one of the top agents in the area because it's not all about the money to them it's about making the move experience as best as possible with a special touch.

Not only do I recommend but commend and thank Cherre and Eric for going above and beyond.

Dear Jim, Jace, and Dominack:

I wanted to let you all know that the closing on our house went through smoothly, after much angst caused by a leaking fuel tank. In sheparding this to closing, Ed and I want to thank Cherre Schwartz and her son Eric who were unfailingly helpful throughout a long difficult process. Their professionalism is much appreciated by us and, I'm sure, by Weichert's other clients with whom they work.

Gail Hollister

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

Ms. Botti,

I just wanted let me appreciation or the wonderful job Cherre and Eric are doing to be known by the company management. I have been involved in buying houses or apartments more than half dozen times and have never work with anyone as professional, good at what they do and just plain nice before. From the first, admittedly exploratory, visit, when Eric made us fell like he has all the time in the world to spend with us; to the negotiations and the closing process I felt like we are being supported be a very professional team.
Every time we had a an issue with anything, I would call Cherre and hear: "Do not worry, let me call and take care of this.". And she did. Anything from sellers not willing to deal during post-inspection negotiations to closing scheduling issues. While I hope I live in my new hose for a while, if I ever will need to buy again in this area, it will definitely be with Cherre and Eric.

Eugene Lipkin

Our Weichart agent for our most recent home purchase was Cherre Schwartz. We looked for a house in Maplewood for over one year with Cherre. We came to realize that we were indeed particular clients with a very specific vision for what we wanted and what specific area in Maplewood we wanted to live in. Throughout the app. 18 months of looking, Cherre stuck with us and showed us house after house, often times providing us with her unique insight into the neighborhood or the offerings or lack thereof of the houses we viewed. We greatly appreciate Cherre's perseverance in finding us a house that we wanted to call a home and during that time, Cherre became more than just an agent, Cherre became a family friend. Thank you Cherre for helping to create this next stage of our lives, we enjoyed the journey with you.

Dear Jace, 

Cherre was our agent when we first bought our house in Millburn in 2006. We found her very friendly, helpful and resourceful as we settled into our life in Millburn. Four years later, as we were relocating to Hong Kong for my husband’s job transfer this summer, we contacted Cherre again in early spring to list our house for sale.

Given the current housing market, Cherre again offered good, honest feedback from start to finish and patiently guided us through the entire sale process. We always valued Cherre’s advice and would not hesitate to recommend her again to our friends or neighbors looking to buy or sell homes in the area. Most importantly, Cherre is a pleasure to work with. Cherre came with high recommendation from everyone I had spoken to and her track record speaks for itself.

Kind regards, Judy

We had the pleasure of working with Cherre Schwartz in both buying and selling our house and new home. She is a consummate professional that gets results. Its not only Cherre but her whole network of people to help in every stage of the buying and selling process. She took control of the process and insured we understood what we needed to do to get results. You can't argue with results, and getting our asking price, which was 12% higher than the other 2 agents we interviewed suggested , and getting the buyers for our home before the first public showing. I would strongly recommend working with her.

Marc, Livingston

Thank you! You are a wonderful realtor who goes above and beyond every second of the day. We will send referrals your way every chance we can!

Dear Ms. Botti,

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Cherre Schwartz as our realtor. Throughout the entire process Cherre was professional, reliable, and motivated. I always felt as though I was her only client.

In April 2009 my wife, Sarah, and I began our search for a home in Essex County. My wife and I, at times, felt frustrated and nervous, but Cherre was always available to calm our nerves and speak through any obstacles. She ultimately made our choice, a beautiful Cape/ Colonial in Short Hills, an easy one! We love it and owe it all to Cherre. She always had our best interest in mind throughout the entire process. Furthermore, Cherre has recommended professionals from a pediatrician to a plumber and we have never been disappointed. It is truly amazing how she has extended herself for our family.

I would be delighted to answer any specific questions regarding Cherre's performance.

Yours truly,
Serge W. Masyra

 Dear Ms. Botti,

We just wanted to get in touch and say how utterly thrilled we were with Cherre Schwartz as our buyers agent for our home purchase. Our recent purchase of a rare and lovely house in South Orange, was ONLY made possible because of Cherre's invaluable advice and assistance. Her years of experience as an agent, and her sure and incredibly charming manner made us confident of every decision we made under her great guidance. For all the worries we had about buying in an area that we didn't really know in the beginning, Cherre educated us and helped us realize this was the best thing we could possibly do, without ever once making us feel that she knew our minds better than us. On top of her own expertise, she helpfully pointed us in the right direction for countless other services that helped make our house purchase smoother. Having previously purchased properties in another country, we really feel that the entire industry that we've encountered before could massively benefit from Cherre's attitude and appreciation of everyone involved in the transaction. We really cannot praise her highly enough, and the irony is, we came across her details quite by chance on the internet. It was a very, very lucky find. Each person we met on our home purchase journey after Cherre told us how lucky we were to have her in our corner, and they were always right. We would recommend her without question to anyone buying or selling, and we are just so grateful to have had the opportunity of working with her on our new home purchase!

Sincerely,
Alice & Mark Borrelli

Dear Ms. Jace Botti,

We want to highly recommend and thank Cherre Swartz for her hard work and persistence in selling our house in South Orange, New Jersey. In a down economic market Cherre was able to promote, “show”, and attract buyers to our home. She made helpful recommendations and was flexible with our preferences. I highly recommend Cherre as an agent for anyone!!!

Rebecca and Daniel Gilgoff, Alden Place, Maplewood, NJ (Letter to Jaci Botti,Senior Vice President, Head of Residential Real Estate Weichert, Realtors)

Dear Jace,
We wanted to let you know how happy we were with the services provided by Cherre Schwartz. She did everything possible to accommodate our needs and answer all of our questions.
When we decided to move to Maplewood from Brooklyn we were completely unfamiliar with the area. Cherrie picked us up, gave us a comprehensive tour, and took us to a dozen houses that were in our price range and fit the specifications we were looking for. When it was time to put in a bid, Cherrie worked aggressively to secure the home we selected.
Once we were under contract, when most other realtors would assume their work was done, Cherrie did not stop taking care of every detail. She even emailed us a reminder to have all the utilities switched over 3 weeks before move in!
We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a considerate and professional realtor.
Sincerely,
Rebecca and Daniel Gilgoff

Moving from Canada to the US to launch a new business is stressful enough. Moving children, households and pets takes stress to the next level.
Cherre Schwartz came highly recommended and working with her and her team was a pleasure. Her deep insights based on years of experience and her clear understanding of our family’s needs reassured us every step of the way.
Her strategic approach to the process of buying our home was evident throughout – especially when we were faced with having to compete with several other couples for the home we had settled on. We have now lived in that home for the past 6 months and couldn’t be more pleased. Cherre an her team went above and beyond on countless occasions. I would not hesitate for an instant in recommending her.

Ginger Jones

We got really lucky when we found Cherre during our house hunt in the South Orange/ Maplewood area. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and very helpful throughout the buying process and beyond. Not only did we find a wonderful and profession

 Christopher Pitro, 12 Lincoln Place, Maplewood

Our property had been listed with another realtor for 6 months before we switched to Cherre and within a week and a half she had sold our house. Cherre aggressively marketed our house, delivered on her promise to sell it quickly (even in a difficult market), and handled all of the minor details as we had already relocated out of state. Her communication skills were excellent and we always had a comfortable feeling about what was happening with the sale of our house. Cherre is an exceptional realtor and I would recommend her to anyone who is seriously interested in selling their house.

Timicka C. Anderson, South Orange

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 knowledgeable 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

“K“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.Kang., Short Hills

“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.”
