A native of Roane County, now living in the South of the River Community, gives me an advantage when it comes to knowing the community.  My goal is to provide the greatest of service to make the real estate transaction a smooth and pleasurable experience.  I believe in honesty, integrity and customer service and is dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction.  I enjoy being a part of every customer and clien'ts life as they become part of my family and friends for life.

My parents are Harold and Freda Wester and I have one brother, Michael and one sister, Michele.  I'm married to Charles Laxton and together we have three children, Courtney, David and Misty along with two grandchildren, Alexis and Kyleigh.  I graduated from Roane State Community College with a degree in Business Management.  Most of my spare time was spent at a ballfield or gym on the bleachers as a mother of a basketball, volleyball and softball player and as a volunteer with the Harriman Recreation Department.  I always loved my "kids" and now those "kids" have grown up and buying homes with me.  Over 80% of my business is friends, family and referrals.

After spending over 30 years working and managing the Holiday Inn of Harriman, I moved into real estate in 2002 and earning my Broker's license in 2005.  I've also earned the following designations:

"Best Agent Ever"

"Cheryl is the best. Every aspect of both sides or our sell and buy went flawlessly. She will be highly recommended to friends."

"When I made that first call to see a listing, I really never dreamed I would be able to actually buy a home.  Cheryl gave me information about lenders and helped me choose one to work with and held my hand through the entire deal.  She never let me give up and kept telling me I'd be in my home soon.  I'm actually living in my first home with my children and I can never thank her enough."
