"Thank you so much for your time, patience, knowledge, experience and professionalism. Cindy and I have really enjoyed working with you. You really helped make our transition to Birmingham a little easier. We are very grateful to have a Realtor as wonderful as you!" Buyers - Jeff & Cindy Sewell (Store Manager & family)
"I wanted to share my absolutely positive experience with Sherri Elkins. Sherri handled, and coordinated, both the sale and the purchase of my new home. For anyone who has experienced both of these transactions running parallel, they know it could be frustrating. Sherri's daily follow up and feedback kept me aware of the next steps and gave me the peace of mind knowing she was in control of the transaction. This was especially important when you consider all that goes on in one's daily life as well.
I felt very secure with her representing me for both transactions. Sherri's great ability to conduct business, while always keeping her client's best interest at heart definitely sets her apart from the rest. I would recommend Sherri and definitely contact her for future real estate needs.
Seller & Buyer - Doreen Masters (Banker, AVP)
"I found Sherri Elkins' website when doing a search for real estate related terms on Google. I was surprised so few agents came up on the search, it was mostly companies, but Sherri was ranked at the top of the page. I was concerned she might be too busy to meet my needs, but was pleasantly surprised when she contacted me back almost immediately. Sherri recently helped me purchase my first home, but I can tell you when I am ready to sell, I will be calling her back. I was also impressed with the tools on her website and the user friendly factor too. It was nice to find a real estate agent who knows how to use technology to its fullest." Buyer - W. Thomaston (Technical Writer)
"As a Naval Chief Petty Officer stationed in Japan, my wife and I started our home search on the Internet. Sherri had several homes listed on her website that seemed to fit our needs, and after viewing those homes, we contacted her. Sherri listened to what we wanted in a home and sent us even more homes to choose from. After we selected from that list, Sherri made appointments and toured through the properties for us, taking tons of photos, and making notes. Sherri then prepared a detailed presentation on each one and sent it to us. She answered all our questions and even went back to properties to collect additional information for us. In our situation, being out of the area and first time home buyers, we needed an agent who had both the work ethic and patience to assist us, especially since this process required quite a bit of leg work and time. We felt very lucky to have found such a warm and professional agent and with our experience with Sherri would recommend her to anyone." Buyers - E. Geter & L. Geter (Naval Chief Petty Officer / Nurse)
"We greatly enjoyed working with Sherri Elkins during the sale of our home. Not only was Sherri very efficient and knowledgeable, but she was also very attentive to the details that go into the sale of a home." Sellers - R. Simpson & K. Simpson (Engineer / Legal Assistant)
"Being a first-time home buyer, I was a little apprehensive about the whole home buying process. Sherri was professional, informative, and patient. She was truly concerned with understanding my wants and needs, she spent time with me, and kept me informed on what needed to happen next. Her recommendation to get another quote before committing to a mortgage saved me money too. I would highly recommend Sherri Elkins to anyone buying a home." Buyer- R. Jackson (Nurse)
"Sherri Elkins is a pleasure to work with, and she returns her phone calls quickly too, which I found is not as common as you would think in real estate. I was looking to pay about $1,000 per month for a home, and Sherri worked with me until I found the home that fit my budget. She made me feel so comfortable with the entire process. I always tell my friends who are looking to buy or sell about Sherri. She was a joy to work with." Buyer- S. Miller (Laborer)
"I had a home listed with another real estate agent, and the property had not sold. Through a previous association, I had seen Sherri's work ethic first hand. After no success with the other agent, I talked to Sherri about listing an investment property for me. Sherri fully marketed the home, had a lot more activity than when previously listed, and she kept me informed along the way. It was refreshing to work with someone who had a strong work ethic combined with good communication." Seller - L. Smitherman (Business Owner)
