First California Realty, Inc. - Sausalito, California

Stephen J. B. R. E.

In March 2020 I had the opportunity to work with Sherrie and her team at First California Realty when my clients made an offer on one of her listings. Sherrie was helpful, informative, detail-oriented, and very enjoyable to work with. Clear communication is vital in every real estate transaction and Sherrie went above and beyond to ensure that my clients, lenders, team members and everyone involved in the transaction were were all on the same page. Sherrie's knowledge of the Sausalito market is unsurpassed. The skill to successfully guide buyers, sellers, and agents through each city requirement will prove to be an asset in every transaction. My overall experience was positive and enjoyable. I look forward to working with Sherrie and her team again very soon! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sherrie is an amazing real estate broker with many years of experience in the North Bay. Both buyer and seller benefit from her involvement in a deal.

She has great knowledge of virtually every neighborhood of the area, knowledge that benefits both buyer and seller. She knows the pluses and minuses of the neighborhoods and listens carefully to a would-be buyer or seller to get you the home you have dreamed of or the home you want to sell.

Sherrie represented me both when I bought and sold my Sausalito home. From my buying experience I knew she could put a deal together and make it stick up and through closing.

For me, my home was a condominium in Sausalito. Both buying and selling my home required many long hours on her part. Dealing with the city and the HOA required knowledge and skill, both of which Sherrie has in abundance. She worked tirelessly to make the deal stick, especially when the sea got very stormy as closing neared. She navigated those seas with tremendous skill, calling on knowledge that only she has.

Additionally, Sherrie has a broad cadre of people of all trades: plumbers, carpenters, environmentalists, contractors, painters you name it, any one of which are sometimes necessary to close a deal.

In short, Sherrie more than earns her commission. She works very hard and goes above and beyond what most people think real estate brokers do. She probably puts in many more hours than most of her associates It is hard work, work that only pays and she closes a deal.

Before working with Sherrie, we had been put through the wringer with a different agent who was very difficult and demanding to work with.

Sherrie was a breath of fresh air.
She was always available and laser-focused no matter how busy she was. Because she took the time to learn every detail of our home and neighborhood, her marketing was spot on and appealed to just the right buyers.

We have now worked with Sherrie on four transactions and could not be happier with all of the outcomes. She takes all the stress away so you can just enjoy the process. Would not work with anyone else!

We had a truly wonderful experience working with Sherrie Faber and First California Realty! As first-time home buyers, my husband and I cannot say enough about how thankful we are to have had the opportunity to work with Sherrie. The home buying experience can seem like a daunting and exhausting task. However, working with Sherrie made our experience a fun adventure. Sherrie is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and an excellent communicator. She has over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry and is truly passionate about helping clients find the perfect home that aligns with their wish list. Sherrie went above and beyond to help us navigate the industry, from interpreting disclosures to connecting us with all the best lenders and contractors . If you are in the market to sell or buy a home, we highly recommend working with Sherrie! Homes are high stakes investments, and you owe it to yourself to have a seamless and pleasant experience.

Sherrie was an absolute joy to work with. We were first time home buyers who were under a time crunch because we needed to find a place fairly quickly. We looked at four places with Sherrie, made three offers and ultimately got a place we loved, that met all our needs, and exceeded our expectations. What other reviews say about Sherrie is true. She is the consummate professional, quick, efficient, and extremely tech-savvy, which we really appreciated. She doggedly advocated for us in some sticky situations, and always got the job done.

She has a vast knowledge of the area and is happy to share contacts in her large network for any services you may need for your new place. My wife, Margaret, is a stickler for detail and read all of the necessary documents thoroughly, and asked a lot of questions. Sherrie was not only patient and informative, but always complimented Margaret on her attention to detail.

But for me, my favorite thing about working with Sherrie was that she makes what could be a very stressful process fun. She has a great sense of humor, and we shared lots of laughs during all of it.

I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Sherrie and the team at FCR are amazing. No one knows the Sausalito real estate market like Sherrie does. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to help in your home search. After a detailed introductory call to learn what we were looking for we were off to the races. Sherrie’s knowledge of the neighborhoods, town, codes, the whole 9 yards is second to none (it seems like she’s touched every property at one point or another over her career). We were tricky customers and Sherrie delivered. She’s always responsive, has amazing insight and was a pleasure to work with.

As first-time home buyers in Marin, we knew finding the perfect house would be a challenging experience. But Sherrie made it happen! She taught us so much about what to look for in a house and a neighborhood -- all while making it a fun and lighthearted experience. When touring houses, she points out crucial details that we wouldn't have otherwise thought about. We feel like we wouldn't want to see a house without Sherrie.

Sherrie's extensive network and connections in Marin helped as find an off-market listing, which we ended up buying! The off-market listing helped us greatly in a competitive market. Without Sherrie's connections in Marin, we couldn't have gotten in this house.

We recommend Sherrie to all our friends. She is someone who truly cares about her clients.

Sherry Faber from 1st Calif Realty was highly professional in selling my older home in Sausalito. It needed a great deal of help and she provided
both the ideas for upgrade as well as seeking out the contractors to help us, She was diligent, on time and cheerful about her job, and I couldn't
have done it without her. We obtained a top price, and with a minimum
of conflict or any disagreement.
