Sherry and Bill

Bill and I are a husband and wife team who love and know, Riverwoods, Illinois, the place we call home. Bill has been involved with real estate over 40 years and is a Certified Real Estate Broker. I have had my broker's license since 1991. We are willing to do whatever it takes to find our client's dream home or to sell their current home.  We are excellent negotiators and know how to get the most money for our Sellers and have our Buyers pay the least. Our cleints become lifelong friends and most of our business is the result of referals.  We are very active in our community.  Bill is currently the Mayor of Riverwoods and I organize many of the community events.  We have a fabulous Halloween Party attended by 400 - 500 children, a spring plant sale, barbeque, and clean-up day. Riverwoods is unique.  Most of the residents love the out-of-doors, hiking, biking, horse back riding, animals, birds and trees. We have a 500 acre Conservation Area with many trails and nature programs, and the DesPlaines River Trail.  It is truly a wonderful, crime free place to live.  The schools are great and so are the people. It's exciting to be part of such a vibrant community. You will be happy you contacted us to help you find or sell a home here.  No one knows Riverwoods better than Sherry and Bill.

Our Clients Say It Best

Dear Bill and Sherry

We want to thank you both for doing such a terrific job in selling our Riverwoods home!

We chose the two of you to represent us and our beautiful home last August because we felt that a seller does, indeed, get "two for the price of one" with you--not only two competent, seasond agents, but two different personalities with different strengths.  We also chose you because we were very comfortable with you living and working in Riverwoods, a real plus in our situtation because we were in Florida during the entire listing period. We knew that you had no problem with being at our house for accompanied showings, etc., something that we highly valued.

We also thank you for "sticking this one out." Obviously, this was not a simple real estate transaction.  But, with your determination and hard work to make it happen--we had a closing!  And, you were totally correct when you said that getting an offer isn't the hard part of a sale, but rather seeing it through to the end, to the closing.  And, what a terrific job you both did on that!

It is a plus that we know and trusted you both.  When you said you were going to do something, you followed through and did it.  And, that concerned everthing from dealing with the buyers and their agents to overseeing the cleaning help and checking on the house sale crew.

Any seller would be very well represented by the two of you and Coldwell Banker.  Thank you for the wonderful job you did for us in selling One Deepwood Trail in Riverwoods.

Sincerely,

John H. (Jack) and Connie Kindsvater

Dear Sherry and Bill:

Thanks to both of you for spending a whole week with us and finding our new beautiful home.  We appreciate your patience and guidance.  Your knowledge of the area proved very helpful in our decision making process.

We are impressed with you dedication and tireless work ethic.  Your phone calls to us while we were still living in Virginia and making all the arrangements for paint and carpet estimates were above and beyond the call of duty.  You are both wonderful people and great new friends!

Love,

Sung and  Dr.Andy Park

Dear Sherry and Bill:

It has been such a nice experience working with both of you that I decided to share my feelings in a letter.  I love my home and have dreaded the idea of selling it for most of the last year.  However, when my business finalized in Algonquin, IL., I realized that I would have to sell.  I knew I wanted to include you in the list of brokers I considered.  Once we met to discuss the sale of my home I knew at once that I had found the best place to list my home.  Your knoweledge of the market and honest evaluation of where my home best fit into it was so different from what I had heard from others..like the proverbial breath of fresh air!  Some of the features that were unique to my home where subtle, yet valid and important if its potential price was to be obtained.  You saw them the same way I did with no prompting.

My goal was to realzie the highest NET selling price for my home; just like everone else.  Your evaluation and explanation of a pricing strategy made agreeing on a selling price easy.  I was confident of our plan and even excited about being a part of the team that was going to make it happen.  My dread and hang-dog posture was replaced with enthusiasm to meet the challenge.

The list of things that needed to be done was a long one.  Yet you were patient while I struggled to get the work that needed to be done completed and encouraging as progress was made.  The attaboys were always appreciated!

The follow-up and communication you provided was far better than I ever experienced in the sale of my other homes or properties.  These differences stand out and are the reason I will request your help in my search for a new home even though it will be in a town several miles away.

I could go on and on but I will close by saying you have my sincere thanks for a job well done. The pleasure of working with you will stay with me long after I have moved from Riverwoods.

Sincerely yours,

Calvin Johnston
