ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl is very knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and considerate. She was able to sell my home for much more than I thought I could get for it. She and her team are also really fun/great people and a pleasure to work with!!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was fantastic to work with in locating and purchasing our recent home. She was very responsive and flexible in showing us homes, helped strategize our offers (which we found extremely helpful in this tough market for buyers), and made the entire process from offer to closing extreme convenient and smooth. I would absolutely recommend working with Cheryl!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl sold my house in 2021. Excellent realtor. On top of everything. Committed. Organized. Compassionate. Mentally strong. Assertive. Selfless. She was extremely knowledgeable about the selling process, the market and resources available to me if I needed ?fix it? work done. Thank you Cheryl.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was my first home owners experience and I was VERY picky. Cheryl and Connor were so patient with showing me home after home. Never pushed. They both wanted me to feel the home and go with my gut. Cheryls expertise and knowledge of doing this for many years made this journey so much easier and calming. Finally after months, I found the right home for me. She held my hand as if I was one of her own kids and literally guided me through this process. Im SO appreciative.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl helped my husband and me prepare our home for the market in *record fast time* by giving us clear guidance, a list of resources and ideas, lots of encouragement and frequent check-ins. She pointed us to the projects and updates where we should focus our time, energy and assess, i.e. what really matters to buyers and would provide us with the greatest return on investment. Cheryl and her team staged the property to showcase our home?s greatest features. When ?going live? day came, Cheryl facilitated many showings which produced multiple, competing offers (4/5 above asking price) and helped us identify the strongest offer and negotiate it through to closing day. We were VERY happy with putting so much extra cash into our pockets. Cheryl has excellent communication skills and is very responsive to every call, text or email. We never felt ?alone? or ?adrift? in what can be a stressful time - we knew Cheryl was always there to guide us - and always had our back!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy experience working with Cheryl Holds was fantastic! She was quick to update me, always calm, honest, and positive. Her teammate, Amber Harvey, was also wonderful to work with. The behind the scenes staff at Excelsior Realty we?re a delight to email with as well. Cheryl?s experience in real estate was apparent, and if I ever buy/sell a home in MN again, I?ll know exactly who to go with. Thank you Cheryl and Excelsior Realty team for everything!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a fantastic experience from beginning to end in working with Cheryl when it came time to sell our mothers home. We interviewed multiple agents including several we had transacted property with before - Cheryl was an excellent choice. Moms property was unique and as a result was difficult to price appropriately. However Cheryl went the extra mile and did a great job of reaching out to potential buyers to get a better range to ensure we were not over or under priced when we listed. Cheryl outstanding advice on how to prep & stage moms home was much appreciated. Her referrals to support services provided experienced professionals that were of a tremendous help in getting the property on the market on time. We were especially pleased with Estate Sales Minnesota - Dana the owner went above and beyond in helping to liquidate personal property to get ready for the sale. We highly recommend Cheryl for your Real Estate needs. You will find her to be highly professional, experienced, knowledgeable & excellent in working with other agents, prospective buyers and sellers. Thank you Cheryl for all of your hard work in getting moms home sold well within the time period and price range we had hoped for.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Cheryl for a few real estate transactions and have been very happy and appreciative of all the hard work she and her team have provided. Cheryl makes the process of buying a home easy. She listens and doesn?t waste time showing you properties that don?t make sense. Highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl's exceptional. She was the listing agent, but also represented me, the buyer, in a very professional non-biased manner. She was very fair, forthcoming with information, promptly replied to inquiries, provided outstanding referrals for a mortgage rep, inspector, etc. I would recommend her as she has integrity and valuable proven experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe weren't sure what kind of house we wanted nor exactly where we wanted to live and Cheryl helped us figure it all out! She was always available to help us, always made time to work with us, tolerated our ever changing moods, offered help and advice when we wanted it. We were new to the area and couldn't have figured it out without her. Thanks, Cheryl!! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDShe knows how to get things done. Knows the market. Sets realistic goals. Listens to what you have to say rather than over powering you with her own opinions. Good response, always answers or at lease text a response. Great girl to work with!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl priced the home accurately and went above and beyond to sell the home. We had offers prior to it being wwlisted with MLS. Cheryl was personable and professionally thorough on every aspect of this sale. I highly recommend her.

Review for Member: Cheryl Holds
ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl is high energy, responsive, organized, extremely knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. We were totally comfortable asking Cheryl questions and valued her common sense approach to the selling process. It was exciting to see the way Cheryl and her team "pre-marketed" our home and had it listed in hundreds of places for buyers to find us. One of the things we most appreciated about Cheryl was the fact that she brought her stager into our home months in advance - before we even signed a realtor contract - and walked us through our home to know the things buyers would and would not like. Cheryl took all the notes of what needed to be done and sent us a detailed "to do" list - by room - so we had a ready made checklist to follow. Everyone on Cheryl's team was kind, helpful, and professional. The photos of our home were beautiful. After 20+ years in our home, we had a SOLD sign hanging in one week! It made all our time and prep worth it. We can't say enough good things about the job Cheryl and her team do. They are just simply the best crew out there!

ZillowVERIFIEDOn August 6th, I signed with the Cheryl Holds Team, on August 14th we accepted an offer and today I found out that all the pieces are in place to close on September 13th. I know a lot of people give great reviews that are a vague so I thought I would share my experience in a little more detail for those of you looking for a listing agent. 1. Cheryl made me feel like I was her only client and she was excited to list my starter home. I called her in the morning and we met that afternoon. The appointment was moved up an hour and a half and she still was on time and prepared with an entire customized marketing presentation and practical suggestions. No "Let me check out your place and get back to you". Her ideas were different and affordable. I was ready to sign after her presentation and she had the listing agreement filled out. 2. My commission rate was competitive. I didn't feel like I was going to have to pay more since my town home was under $200,000 (someone told me that they made the same no matter what the house costs so my commission would be higher, I didn't mind the rate but I did mind the comment). I also was given a really low rate as a closing tool from someone else. I wanted to pay a fair rate for great service and that is what I got with Cheryl. 3. Cheryl did a beautiful staging and photo session within 48 hours of me turning over the house to her, this was free of charge. It was sold within 72 hours because she was able to do a "Coming Soon" listing on Zillow. In addition, she already had an open house scheduled which we ended up not needing. 4. Everyone I spoke to said they knew about selling condos and how particular St. Louis Park inspections are but Cheryl actually had examples and suggestions on passing. 5. OK - going back to my first comment, Cheryl treated me like a valued client, quickly calling, emailing, and texting back as I needed. I know I can be demanding but she didn't make me feel demanding. I truly don't know if she has a personal life because she never acted like I was an inconvenience. This is my final comment. As a sales trainer and manager at times of a sales staff, people asked what made my teams different. I always stressed that no matter someone's income treat them with the same respect and excellent service. Having purchased two higher end houses with Alan and selling one house with him, I knew what it meant to be wooed. I know my place was not new and shiny, it was down right scary at some points while I was fixing it up, but I don't want to feel embarrassed at the reaction from the agent look at it. As I was interviewing Realtors, Cheryl was the only one that gave me that same feeling I got in my previous experiences, she actually made positive comments instead of suggesting expensive updates.. P.S. I got much more than anyone else thought I would get which is the MOST important reason to consider Cheryl Holds Team if you are looking for a Realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl did a excellent job finding our home in Wayzata MN. She helped us navigate through some tough issues that came up after the sale. Her attention to detail and communications made the move to MN much easier then with other sales we have had. She worked out some creative financing plans in a short amount of time and made sure all the inspections were completed timely. She continues well after the sale to help us with contractors and other services. I would recommend her to family and friends in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl is such a professional at her job, and really fantastic to work with. She was able to sell my property as a "Coming Soon" listing, before it was even "officially" listed. Obviously, that is really great, but she also sold it for over list price. I really don't have enough positive things to say about her, and highly, highly recommend working with her if you are serious about making the right impression to buyers.

Review for Member: Cheryl Holds
ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first-time single homebuyer, I was leery about what to expect. Between finding homes in my price range that fit my criteria, the loan process, the paperwork and more, it seemed a bit overwhelming at first. But Cheryl and Laura helped me every step of the way, by finding homes that were a great fit - even before they were listed in some cases - and by being willing to put in extra last-minute effort when I forgot a critical step during the process. And they have both been happy to continue to help me even after the closing, when frankly they have no obligation to do so. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl and Laura to others.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so happy that we went with Cheryl Holds and her team! She gave us the encouragement to finish prepping our house for staging, no small feat since we had lived there for 27 years. Cheryl and her associate, Lindsey, assisted us on the purchase side of the equation as well. We got the price we were looking for from the sale of our home, and we found the home that we wound up purchasing at the price we wanted. And, both transactions closed the same afternoon. My wife & I both recommend Cheryl - you will not go wrong choosing her!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was great to work with. We had a challenging experience with the closing date being pushed back several times and she navigated this well and never lost her cool. She helped us with staging and advertising our house, which ultimately sold within 4 hours of being on the market! Great experience working with her.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl has been excellent to work with over the years. She has helped us buy our first home nine years ago and then our current home when we were ready to upgrade. She helped us find renters for our first home and managed the rental for four years. Just recently she helped us sell the rental home. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her and plan to return to her for our future real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter interviewing two other agents, I decided to work with Cheryl. She understood my situation well. Most home selling process went smoothly. If any issue happens, she was able to correct the problem soon. I sold my house within 20 days at the price I requested. I am pretty satisfied with working with her. I recommend her to potential home sellers.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was our agent for both buying and selling a home as my husband Jim mentioned below. Cheryl does not let any grass grow under her feet--she is "on it." I really valued that since in real estate deals can come together or fall apart in a flash and Cheryl knows how to make them come together. She is patient when we were buyers, and looking. She is resourceful both when we were buyers and sellers. She finds solutions. I would highly recommend Cheryl as an agent and as a person - she is a gem.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you're looking for a great realtor look no further than Cheryl Holds. She really is the genuine article. This is the 3rd home I've purchased in my life and Cheryl is the most knowledgeable realtor I've ever worked with. She is totally honest and no pressure. She understood my needs from day one and guided us to the perfect home for my needs. Also, She also has tons of rental experience which is great, because she's helping us find a renter for our old home and navigate the rental market.
