ZillowVERIFIED I turned to Teri to help me sell my house and to find a new one. I enjoyed working with Teri very much. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely helpful through the entire process. My house sold quickly after a good number of viewings and Teri was quick to move on new properties that met my needs, helping me close the deal on my new place within days. I would strongly recommend Teri and her team.

ZillowVERIFIED We loved working with Teri to find our new home! Her professionalism, patience and persistence helped us close a deal after a protracted two-week long negotiation with the sellers/sellers agent. When negotiations stalled (at several points during the process), she somehow managed to both calm our frayed nerves as well as redirect the process towards a successful resolution. Her connections within the community are top-notch, and she was able to help us pick the right professionals (inspector, etc.) to close the deal. We are so glad we worked with Teri and highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIED Teri is fantastic realtor. She is professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She provided me with expert counsel on how to value my home in the current market. Additionally, she is a skilled negotiator who is tough but also understands the art of compromise. Ive really enjoyed working with Teri and feel she alway put me and my needs first.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri was very easy to work with, and she was on point about pricing, staging the house, timeline and recommendations. We were able to sell our house 9 days after listing, for almost exactly the price we listed!

ZillowVERIFIED Teri is a total pro and was an absolute pleasure to work with during the recent purchase of our Beachwood home. Although I stumbled upon Teri, I couldnt be happier with how fantastic she was throughout the home buying process. My highest recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED We adore Teri! From her knowledge of the market, her connections to help us prepare to get the house on the market, and her easy way of explaining the sometimes complex, Teri was able to keep us focused and reassured that she had our back. Teri is a fierce champion for her clients throughout the process, and we highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIED Horrible. This is a huge mistake. I have to notify the commission of commerce to get rid of the worst "profession" people I have ever dealt with. Not recommended. Unbelievable how difficult and lazy this 'team" is. Any other agent is going to provide better service. Difficult to reach after we listed.

ZillowVERIFIED You will do well hiring the services of Teri and her team. Teri is a knowledgeable and seasoned professional. She makes regular use of market data (e.g., price, competition, timing) and is responsive and willing to invest the time needed during a generally stressful time. Her sense of humor and optimism were appreciated and needed more than once. Ohio real estate law can be convoluted, but Teri knows the in's & out's cold. I trust we're through moving, but if not, we would hire Teri again in a heartbeat!

ZillowVERIFIED Teri's expertise is in the Shaker Heights area, but we also had an excellent experience with her helping us purchase a home in Brecksville. She was professional, experienced, and pleasant.

ZillowVERIFIED I am so happy to have met Teri, she is Amazing! Teri is professional, hard working, honest and knowledgeable which I truly respect. My father is a realtor in another city so I had very high standards, Teri exceeded my expectations. She made the entire process run smoothly and gave me great advice along the way. I would highly recommend Teri and her team.

Review for Member: Teri Chmielewski
ZillowVERIFIED Teri was recommended to me by a family member, and I am so glad I took their advice! After looking at several houses in Cleveland Heights that didn't dazzle, we found the perfect one in University Heights that just blew us both away - I honestly think we both knew it was the right one from the moment we walked in. I couldn't recommend her enough, especially as a first time home buyer. Teri guided me through the entire home-buying process from start to finish, from recommending the right loan officer for a pre-approval, to making the initial offer and accepting the seller's reasonable counter. She provided guidance on what to avoid, such as quick-flip fixer uppers that photograph well, to unfamiliar neighborhoods and crumbling retaining walls. Overall, working with her was a truly wonderful experience; she looked after me as if we were family.

ZillowVERIFIED Team Chmielewski is amazing! Our home was listed on a Monday. The open house and Zillow traffic was unbelievable. We had one offer within the week and two more before the end of a two week period. Teri made the process seamless from start to finish. If you are looking for a painless transition I highly recommend Teri.

ZillowVERIFIED Our family had the pleasure of working with Teri as we sold our home in Shaker. Her local knowledge of the neighboorhood was spot on, as the process she and her team set forth worked perfectly. Teri is ranked number one for a reason, her clients come first and she will do everything to get them what they need. Transitioning homes is a stressful process and we were lucky to have Teri by our side. We highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking.

ZillowVERIFIED We've worked with Teri for years and could not possibley say how great she is at her job. Her knowledge and warm personality really made the entire buying and selling expierience much easier. We met her 7 years ago when we were looking for our first home. She was very patient and showed us so many homes, sometimes the same house multiple times. She made the home buying process so easy. When we were ready to start looking for a new home Teri was there for us. My inability to make a decision made her patience and availability key as we searched high and low for the perfect property. If Teri was unavailable to show us a property, which only happened if she happened to be out of town, her team was there to support her and help show us properties we thought would go quickly. She even negoitated the purchase of a home while she was out of town! She helped us buy our new home which was quick and seamless. She is now helping sell our current home. She worked with us to get our home ready to sell and has worked hard with open houses, agents opens and marketing our home. She always responds to questions and concerns. She has a great list of professionals to recommend; painters, floors install, handymen, movers, inspectors. We really couldn't say enough great things about Teri and happily recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri helped us sell an old home that my parents had lived in for over 40 years. Despite a great deal of updating and repair work inside and outside (...after emptying out the place), we got onto the market in less than four months. No significant hassles from any of the contractors that Teri arranged for us to use. Teri went the extra mile and picked out and purchased new range for the kitchen. Despite a fair amount of available inventory on market when we listed in October, we received an acceptable offer in just a few weeks. Teri was great talking us through the process (our first home sale, and we no longer live in the area). Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED We absolutely loved working with Teri! Teri was super flexible and easy to work with. We had a unique circumstance and were living abroad for the majority of our house search. Teri took ample time to get to know our style and what we were looking for. She served as our primary set of eyes on the ground and sent us anything she thought looked interesting. When we found our house Teri was the first person inside to see the house and helped us move our offer so quickly that we were also the first offer made on the house! With out Teri's efficiency we probably wouldn't have gotten our house. Teri was a pleasure to work with, always smiling, and truly a joy to be around. We highly recommend choosing Teri Chmielewski as your real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri Chmielewski is not only an expert when in comes to real estate, but truly an expert with the people. She understands what a family is going through selling, emotionally and financially and is capable of turning it all into a win win situation for both the buyer and seller. Buyting or selling a home is NEVER easy, there is so much you don't expect, but Teri got us through all of it with calm and expertise. She is no longer our realtor, now she is a part of our family!!!

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Teri for over 4 years. We knew what we needed in a new home but couldn't find it in the areas where we were willing to live. Her patience and humor were outstanding and she became a trusted friend. When we finally did find the perfect place, she made the deal go through within two weeks and managed the entire thing perfectly. There were no glitches and we had no worries. We then had to get our house ready to sell. It was on the market longer than we had anticipated but Teri helped us stage it and was very supportive throughout the time it took to sell it. We highly recommend Teri. She is an expert who is caring and made the process much less stressful than it might have been. Plus she's just so much fun to be with!

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Melanie in the purchase of our home. It was our first experience with buying and Melanie made the process so seamless and as stress-free as possible. She was always timely and prepared for meetings. She made so much time for us whether it was a phone call or an in-person meeting. She hit the ground running when we paired up and helped us close in 21 days! She's so knowledgeable about the Heights area and has a great support system in her partner Teri. Melanie is one of the most sincere and kind people I've had the pleasure of ever working with. I would recommend them without hesitation!

ZillowVERIFIED There is a change in the real estate air within Shaker Heights. Dont believe others who tell you to go with the real estate company that aEURoehas been in town for yearsaEUR?. Their approach is tired and out of touch. Two years ago, we had a horrific experience with this other real estate company, and one realtor in particular.Keller Williams, Teri Chmielewski, and Melanie Sweeney are simply the top realtors in Shaker Heights. Their numbers prove it in 2017, and our experience with them mirrors that ranking.If you need to sell your home, or are in the market to buy, contact Teri and Melanie. They are the REAL real estate deal in Shaker Heights.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri and her team are excellent in helping to prepare a home for sale, staging, sale strategy, targeting the specific issues with sales in shaker heights. She is quick to respond and is attentive to process details. She is well known and connected in the market and holds open houses for agents specifically as well as to the public. Extraordinary to work with and sold our house in a week.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri's professional credentials, support team, and skill level sets are remarkably impressive! Teri encouraged and supported me in preparing my house for sale as quickly as possible. She subsequently facilitated the sale of my house in just three days, and then she carefully guided me through the numerous details of Ownership Transfer and Closing. Teri has many contacts with trade professionals who appreciate her referrals and work closely with her to carefully and fairly expedite code corrections necessary for sale in Shaker Heights. I am thrilled with and grateful for the service I received from Teri!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience with Teri. She sold our house within 2 weeks. She is knowledgeable about the Shaker market, efficient, methodical and extremely helpful with all the components of selling a house. She is very responsive and always available.

ZillowVERIFIED Perfect service, light speed sale! Our situation was complicated as we had just bought our home and had to sell it 10 months later! We were in the process of relocating to another state and needed professional services to get our house sold quickly. We had very good experience working with Teri years ago when we rented a house in the Shaker Heights area. Teri was wonderful to work with this time too. She sold our home within a week! I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Shaker Heights and surrounding area of Cleveland. We would work with her again if we ever had to return!

ZillowVERIFIED Teri prepared us so well for the sale of our home. We contacted her about six months in advance of listing our house. She gave terrific advice for staging as well as professionals to call to assist with the process. She stayed available and responsive during the entire listing which, by the way, was quite short since we had a buyer after the first open house. Priced it right, staged well, easy negotiations! Sold sign in the yard!

ZillowVERIFIED Overall, Teri and her teammate Melanie Sweeney helped us to sell and purchase our house. Teri focused on the sale of our home, and provided us with good information regarding the comparable in the area. Her attention to detail on the listing, including the staging of the home and the website listings, helped to receive offers within the first week, and a sale by the end of the second week. Melanie helped us to find a home. She took the time to understand our needs and our style. She adapted quickly to the feedback that we gave on the homes that we visited and suggested. We are exceeding happy with the home that we found. I would strongly recommend Teri's and Melanie's service to others in the area for both selling and buying.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri Chmielewski was recommended to me by my son who is an agent in other Ohio city with Keller Williams. He had researched agents in our location and told me that she had the best record of anyone in the area. I am so glad I listened to him. Teri was professional, and personable. It was such a delight to work with her throughout the process of selling our house that even though I was glad the sale was so successful, I felt as if I was losing a friend when it was over. I highly recommend Teri Chmielewski to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Cleveland area.

ZillowVERIFIED We were very happy with Teri. She gave us great advice about getting our home ready to sell (including references to great contractors) and helped us interpret feedback from people who viewed the house. She is tech savvy and very easy to work with. Our house sold faster than many on the market at a price we were happy with.

Review for Member: Teri Chmielewski
ZillowVERIFIED We were extremely happy working with Teri in selling our house! She works smartly, is well-informed, detail-oriented, and personable, all traits that were very important to us in selecting an agent to work with. Each time we met with Teri during the sales process, she was completely prepared and able to answer our questions. She always returned our phone calls and emails in a timely manner and her advice on how to prepare our house and price it was spot on. She also did more marketing work for our home than any agent I've ever worked with on a sale in the past. Additionally, Teri and her husband (who she teams with) went above and beyond for us by attending our home buyers' 5 hour inspection when their agent was unable to attend. Overall, we were very impressed by Teri's talent, professionalism, and commitment to selling our house, AND we truly enjoyed working with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Teri helped us purchase our home in Shaker Heights and the process went very smoothly. She was patient with us during the home search and showed us many properties within our budget. When we finally found our home she helped us negotiate an excellent price. When I received a job offer on the West side of Cleveland a few years later we contacted Teri to help us sell our home. She advised us on how to prepare the home for the market and showed us what comparable homes in the area were selling for at the time. She had a professional photographer capture our home and the images were amazing. We had hundreds of hits on Zillow for our house the first couple of days it was on the market, and many interested buyers. With Teri's help our home was under contract within 4 days. Her advice on how to prepare the home and price it for sale were spot on. We have three small children so not having to go through an open house, or spend weeks or longer showing the home was a blessing. Teri is an excellent Realtor, and a nice person. You won't regret hiring her.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri was just absolutely wonderful in helping us find our home in Shaker Heights when we moved from New York City. She helped us every step of the way. From the very beginning, she spent time with us both on the phone and driving around to show us the different neighborhoods and help us find the one that fit. She navigated the negotiation and inspection perfectly. And finally, she knows a reference for absolutely everything you might need - from flooring to painting to asphalt (and we needed it all!) But what is most remarkable about Teri is the tremendous enthusiasm, warmth and welcome she brings to every encounter. She is just a joy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri was was an outstanding real estate agent from the start to our finish over two years later. Her knowledge of the Clev. area eastern suburbs was outstanding and her home buying process know how was superior. Teri was very responsive and an expert at negotiating from our initial offer to the final offer. We highly valued her advice and counsel. She was very supportive of all our needs. Teri gave us excellent recommendations for our lending institution and our home inspector among her other outstanding recommendations. Over all Teri was very thoughtful and we feel she did an outstanding job for us in guiding us to find our town home. We highly recommend Teri for either a home buyer or home seller. She has very high integrity and she is very high value added in all aspects of the home buying process!

Review for Member: Teri Chmielewski
ZillowVERIFIED We had an excellent experience selling our house with Teri (and her team) from beginning to end. Teri came to our first meeting prepared and organized with a printed proposal, which was a hugely helpful reference. She fully explained the process of getting our house sold and answered any and all questions we had. Her in depth knowledge of the market was a huge plus and definitely delivered, in our case, with a short time on the market. We had constant showings the first week on the market and multiple offers and a sale before the end of the second week. She had great resources for us to work with in getting our house prepped and ready to sell in a short period of time. Her marketing was spot on and well done. Teri did an excellent job communicating with us throughout the process. Would recommend without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri was simply a wonderful to work with. I had a strict budget and I wanted to find a home in a particular neighborhood. Teri showed me several homes that were within my price range in the location where my children and I wanted to live. She never tried to stir in a different direction. She was very patient with me and my children and she handled all the details with my lender, title company and the city. By March 1 my kids and I were in our new home. I think Teri is the best.

ZillowVERIFIED Teri made the home buying process simple for my husband and I. We were going through a very difficult sale: the dreaded for Sale by Owner. Whereas most realtors would be scared off, Teri guided us through the process and dealt with the seller with professionalism and ease. She gave us very helpful tips about negotiation and how to handle the process as a first time homebuyer. I'd highly recommend Teri. She was the light in the long dark maze of home buying.

ZillowVERIFIED Our situation was very complicated as we had just bought our home and had to sell it 7 months later! We were moving out of the area and needed someone who would be able to get our house sold quickly. Teri was wonderful to work with! We sold our home within a week! Teri was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had, which was key to us. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Shaker Heights area of Cleveland (and surroundings of course!) Although we left the area, we would work with her again if we ever had to return! Thanks Teri!!
