Review for Member: Cheryl Maddaluna
ZillowVERIFIEDI have purchased and sold numerous homes over my lifetime and I always questioned the value of real estate agents as they all just seemed to only care about their commission check. I saw little to no value in realtors to be perfectly honest and I had zero trust in them. That all changed when I retained Cheryl Maddaluna to sell my home. I started working with Cheryl 8 months prior to listing my home. Cheryl THOROUGHLY went thru my house and helped me prepare my house for showings to maximize visual appeal, impressions, and purchase value. While I have always been meticulous maintaining my home; we needed to tweak, simplify and update a few things. All low cost items that paid off handsomely. Cheryl is very up front and honest ... unlike 90%+ of Realtors who just tell you what you want to hear to get the listing, put a lock-box on your front door, and then just show up to collect their commission check. She is a Real Professional and is the Role Model and Definition of a Realtor that all Realtors should aspire to. My home was large, had countless features and updates, and had very thoughtful and detailed renovations. Cheryl knew my home inside and out and professionally presented my home to each and every potential buyer. Cheryl personally showed my home 100% of the time and I never had a lock box. Cheryl maintained detailed notes about each prospective buyer, their feedback, proactively kept me informed, and negotiated & managed a very smooth deal from offer thru contracting, home inspection, and closing. I never experienced a Realtor this hands on and professional. Never. If my review for Cheryl is glowing, yes it is. She FAR EXCEEDED my expectations and I could not image what it would have been like selling my home without her. Selling a home is stressful; Cheryl's knowledge, experience, steady hand, calm demeanor, professionalism, and GENUINE CARE are second to none. You would be crazy to list your home with anyone else; Cheryl is that good!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was an excellent agent to work with. She provided valuable guidance to help me throughout the sales transaction from the marketing plan to the closing on the property. Her experience helped ensure that I made informed decisions and she was extremely responsive during the day and evening. Her experience proved invaluable as she proposed a clear marketing plan upfront with great virtually staged images, used her network to quickly address open items, met with the inspectors as needed and provided transparency so I was comfortable throughout the transaction. She a did a great job marketing the property which resulted in a sales transaction that I was happy with. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an experienced and hard working professional real estate agent to represent your interests in your real estate transaction. Cheryl has been a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services!

ZillowVERIFIEDThe process of selling our mother's house this past winter with Cheryl as our realtor was the best experience. She provided knowledge, a sound marketing plan, useful suggestions for disposing of items with a clean out deadline, contacts as needed and helped us through all the paperwork. She was consistently available to us and keep us all informed and on track even though we all live out of state. She was spot on about how to market the house and we were stunned at how many offers came through in such a short time. We were very pleased with the selling price. We highly recommend Cheryl-she is the best of the best!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was a delight to work with and absolutely the difference between our family losing out on our home versus an accepted offer. Period.She worked hard to advocate on our behalf as qualified buyers who would close the transaction. Throughout the purchase process she worked through some challenges during inspection and closing and made sure to guide us through it all and had a network of professionals to assist in every aspect. From inspectors, contractors, painters, and handymen she knew all the right people.We have experience purchasing several properties over the last 6 years and Cheryl is simply the best agent around. Do not make the mistake of using another realtor. Thank you Cheryl for helping us buy our forever home in Bernardsville!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs far as we're concerned, Cheryl is the best realtor in the area. We've relied on her guidance in multiple transactions and in every one she was both a tenacious advocate and trusted partner. You should feel complete confidence in entrusting your real estate needs to Cheryl.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was fantastic! Being first time home buyers, my fiancA(C) and I were very unsure of the exact direction we wanted to take. We had a wide variety of towns, and were originally torn between looking for townhouses or homes. For a full 18 months, Cheryl was with us every step of the way - even through the tough times of getting outbid. For our new home, Cheryl was very knowledgeable in writing up a very creative offer when we faced stiff competition. Being that we have never purchased a home before, she was very thorough throughout the process (bidding, inspections, closing, etc.) Would definitely use again!

ZillowVERIFIEDOMG! Cheryl is the greatest realtor! Cheryl went beyond what a realtor should do. She did everything necessary to seal the deal! Cheryl is professional and will help you with selling or purchasing a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDYou dont want someone to just list your house - you want someone who is going to sell your house. Input on prepping (painting, minor repairs, landscaping) and staging the rooms are critical both to a serious buyer or casual lookers first impression. Cheryl used social media to post our frequent open houses. Under contract she helped keep things moving despite COVID-19 to make sure the closing stayed on course. I would call her in a heartbeat to list our next property. You will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl helped us sell our home at the start of the Corona Virus. It was definitely a stressful time! Her marketing plan was spot on and worked tirelessly to quickly get our house closed. Her dedication, knowledge, problem solving and availability were unmatched.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl went above and beyond. Although I sold my home without an agent I signed with Cheryl to find me my new home. She followed through on all details and assisted me on the sale of my home even though she wasn't the agent for the sale.

ZillowVERIFIEDTiffany and I had a terrific buying experience with Cheryl. She was able to show us different properties until we found our dream house. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process both in explaining things about the buying process and keeping on top of what we needed. On a side note, her husband Sam also helped with advice on the house with his knowledge and expertise as a builder. We found the experience to be not nearly as stressful as we thought it would be and Cheryl was a huge part of that. I highly recommend working with Cheryl. And we thank her for helping us find find not just a house but our home.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl sold my house within a week - for more than asking price! She staged the house and had great pictures taken that really showed off the rooms. Cheryl communicated daily through each step in the selling process. Cheryl also found a perfect home for me to move into. She worked diligently searching and finding the right home for me. I would recommend using Cheryl without hesitation- she is awesome !

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom beginning to end Cheryl took care of all the details to list and find a buyer for the home. Her knowledge and experience of the markets in the area are a plus. I could not have asked for a better realtor to help me thru the entire process.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy fiancA(C) and I were first time home buyers, and Cheryl was there from the beginning to explain everything from general trends in the market to when to act on a home to what items in homes might require large amounts of effort to repair vs. what is manageable.Once we decided on a home, Cheryl was quick to act, quick to follow up, and even reached out to local townships to acquire get a better understanding for permits, appraisals, etc. She looked out for us every step of the way and has been there for us even after we purchased the home.I strongly recommend Cheryl as a realtor. She makes herself available whenever you need her and always represents the best interests of her clients. We truly feel lucky to have had her throughout the entire process, so thank you Cheryl!

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl is amazing! We used her for our move from Texas to New Jersey and found her to be a joy to work with. She worked with us on our timeline and our schedules as we fly in and out of NJ from Houston during the week and on weekends. She knows everything about the local area and helped steer us in the right direction for our needs. We highly recommend Cheryl and can't say enough about her expertise, knowledge and attention to detail.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl did a fantastic job selling our property in Bernardsville. Her marketing skills were evident from the start and she gave us important information in preparing the house for sale. Cheryl went the extra mile by meeting with inspectors and contractors when we were unavailable to do so. Her professionalism and communication skills made working with her a pleasure. I would recommend her services to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have had the privilege of being represented by Cheryl for both the purchase and sale of our home. Cheryl is very responsive and on the ball. We were working with a relocating company for the first time, and she explained each step along the way. If we had questions or concerns, she addressed them immediately. She puts your interest first, making you feel as if you are her only client. I cannot express how valuable that is in a realtor. Cheryl is knowledgeable, hard working, but most of all a compassionate person. She acknowledges how stressful moves are, and then she takes away that stress by managing everything efficiently. I would highly recommend Cheryl if you are looking for an excellent realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Cheryl to be a partner for real estate needs. I am very picky (realtor nightmare?) and there was low inventory in my desired locations (northern Somerset county). I worked with Cheryl for over a year and finally found a dream home. Cheryl is prompt, professional, very knowledgeable in the market, looks closely at properties with you (husband is a builder, so Cheryl knows what to look for). There were a few minor and a few major problems that surfaced during attorney review and Cheryl helped guide negotiations to a successful conclusion. Cheryl has a great line up of professionals to help close the deal (wonderful attorney, inspectors, roofers, etc). I am definitely going to use Cheryl again for any real estate needs and highly recommend Cheryl to my friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDIn addition to helping me sell my home, Cheryl also helped me buy a new home. Coordinating the selling and buying of a home can be extremely stressful but Cheryl provided excellent advice and guided me throughout the entire process. She was never pushy and spent countless weeks with me searching for the "perfect" home. She was always on top of everything and connected me with excellent referrals (attorneys, inspectors, etc.) to take care of all my needs. Cheryl is extremely dedicated and knowledgeable. She always demonstrated the highest integrity and provided honest advice. She is without doubt, the best realtor I've ever worked with.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl was a fantastic resource for my wife and I as we went through the home purchase process for the first time. She was responsive, honest in her assessments, and willing to be creative in finding the best location for us. Cheryl recommended colleagues with good skills and integrity in the right industries to help us complete the process in a timely and efficient manner and kept us on target through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend Cheryl to any other first time or other home buyers.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe met/interviewed with quite a number of realtors before we met Cheryl and decided to work with her exclusively. The area that we finally settled on is outside of her usual area but she worked to familiarize herself with the area and worked tirelessly with us to help us buy our home. We were very picky and specific in our needs and as first time home owners we had a lot of questions and concerns throughout the process. Cheryl was calm, responsive and extremely helpful every step of the way. She went beyond the call of duty to help us and provide us with helpful advice and information. Most of all, we appreciated her honesty and integrity. Despite showing us houses for close to a year she never once pushed us to buy or settle on a house that we weren't a 100% happy with. It was clear that she was willing to wait till we were happy and found the perfect house for us in the location that we wanted. We wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl as she will act as a wise adviser as well as a friend through the stressful home-buying process.

ZillowVERIFIEDEven though the house we ultimately purchased was slightly outside Cheryl's typical location, she worked with us to gain knowledge of the area. She knew what we were looking for and was honest and patient as we continued our long search. It took four offers on four different houses, and one difficult inspection process, but now we couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Cheryl.

ZillowVERIFIEDCheryl helped us sell our historic 1885 home in 2013. She had sold another older renovated home in our area so we chose to go with her as we could tell she was knowledgeable about this type of market. Our house sold within days of going on the market. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the closing process. We enjoyed working with her.
