"Cathleen negotiated the sale of our home in record time and for a solid price, during a difficult market to say the least. In addition, her Interior Design expertise allowed us to present our home in it's best possible light which enabled us to outshine our competition and attract the right buyer in a short amount of time. Cathleen's team stage our home inside and out in just a few days, we firmly believe this was essential in securing our price in a depressed market. The buyer's agent remarked that part of their decision to purchase our home versus others on the market, was the professionalism and personable attitude Cathleen displayed in dealing with the other side. We highly recommend Cathleen Shera as a knowledgeable agent who is extremely dedicated and willing to go the extra mile for her clients."

"Cathleen Shera was successful two years in a row, in finding extremely qualified tenants to rent my ocean-front home in La Jolla, CA. Cathleen Shera has also been able to achieve fair market rental rates during the summer seasons. I am overly pleased with her professionalism, vast experience in the real-estate arena, her extensive business network of realtors and her ability to make each transaction seemless for all involved parties.

I have and will continue to recommend her to business and personal friends alike, to be sure that they are treated properly in any of their own real estate transactions. Cathleen Shera is a true asset to the real estate communty as well as to her clients, like myself. Thank you, Cathleen - you're terrific!

"Cathleen Shera helped us find a second home in Fairbanks Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe California. We were buying from a distance, being based in Indiana - so this put extra emphasis on communication and the need to fully understand our needs. Cathleen spent time understanding what we were looking for and helped us narrow down our options to the top 10 or so properties. We made one visit to the area, and with Cathleen's help viewed the top 5 properties and were able to make a decision within two days following. Cathleen pushed hard in the negotiation phase and we were more than happy with the final agreed terms. She understands all of the ins and outs of the requirements which followed the initial agreement - and she worked hard to ensure all terms were met at closure. I would highly recommend Cathleen Shera to anyone looking to purchase a home in Del Mar, RSF and surrounding areas."

Her extensive interior design background contributes greatly to her talents as a Realtor.

She is extremely hardworking and always attentive to every question and real estate need. Cathy always goes above and beyond in every way to help. Moreover, she has superior negotiating skills and you always feel confident that she has your best interest at heart. Last year, Cathy was our listing agent on 2 properties in Rancho Santa Fe. One property was located on Los Eucaliptos and the other on La Valle Plateada. We are pleased to report that she got us a full price offer of 5M for our property on La Valle Plateada."

Also, she is an interior decorator so she can guide you to which homes have fabulous upgrades. In all she is the best all around. I would highly recommend and trust her as an agent!"
