About Sherry
Sherry is a lifelong resident of the Bay Area and has lived in Walnut Creek since 1994. She got her real estate license in 2001 and has been a full time Realtor ever since. In 2005, after only four years in the business, she earned the CRS credential from the National Association of Realtors. The CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) is the highest credential awarded to residential sales agents and it's held by fewer than 3% of Realtors in the US. In 2015, she passed the rigorous five-hour California real estate exam to become a Broker Associate. Sherry is passionate about her clients and determined to make sure that their real estate experience is a positive one. Her savvy marketing, strategic pricing, strong negotiation skills, hands-on transaction management and a solid commitment to exceptional client service are the hallmarks of her business … and she has the testimonials to prove it. She is a systems person — organized, detail oriented, super focused — and she makes sure every possible detail is addressed during both the pre-sale and post-contract phases of a transaction. She has an acute understanding of local neighborhoods and of the real estate industry, and she recognizes the importance of developing close working relationships within the brokerage community, where she is known and respected for her honesty, integrity and professionalism. Prior to real estate, Sherry lived in San Francisco and worked in advertising/marketing for 22 years. She spent 9 years at DMB&B, a global ad agency with 52 offices worldwide, as Vice President of Print Production. Later she changed to the vendor side of the business and produce high-end advertising and marketing materials for Fortune 500 companies including Apple Computer, Starbucks, Disney, Pixar, Baskin-Robbins, Bank of America, Symantec and Hewlett Packard. Sherry is a graduate of Cal State East Bay with a degree in Business Administration. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking and entertaining for friends, visiting wineries in Napa and Sonoma, relaxing anywhere on the coast along Highway 1, and spending time with her step-dog Zeke.

Excellent local realtor!

Excellent local realtor!

We were so happy with the work that Jake Adams did for us to find us the home of our dreams in Rockridge! Having lived in both the East Bay and the City- his knowledge is vast and he understands the market on a street-by-street basis. He is well-versed on commute times, traffic patterns, schools and local amenities and has the insider knowledge of great restaurants and hidden gems that only someone who has actually lived here would possess. If you are moving here for the first time, this is the agent you want by your side in this process. He is as thoughtful and conscientious as he is knowledgable. When we were looking for the right spot in the East Bay, we really took our time to narrow down which areas would suit our family best. He was able to listen to both my husband's and my requests of locale and bring us to many options through the process, he remained extremely patient through the process of viewing many homes. Furthermore, he kept us realistic and grounded through a process that is easy to get carried away with emotionally. He was the thoughtful mediator and guide- never telling us what he thought we wanted to hear, overselling or making false promises. On the Memorial Day Long weekend, Jake was working for us when we least expected it. He found out our dream home (that we had written off entirely as a possibility) had no offers after an initial open house. He urged us to act fast. He guided us and proved a shrewd negotiator- even the sellers agent congratulated him on the tactic's success. We couldn't have done it without his diligence and skill. After we closed, Jake was able to provide us with many local contractors, all who came promptly and did terrific work. He has a guy for everything including roofers, landscaping, and general contractors. Additionally, he was a great liaison of closing procedures between the sellers and us. In a process that requires hard decision making: choosing Jake to be our agent was not one of them.

Knowledgeable, patient, and supportive!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Ellyn! As first-time home buyers, we entered the market with a lot of questions, but she guided us through every step of the home-buying process with unmatched patience and expertise. Ellyn took the time to truly listen to us, helping us figure out what we really wanted in a home. Throughout the journey, we felt supported through her thoughtful advice and encouragement. Ellyn was always available whenever we needed to hop on a quick call, answer a question, see a home, or talk through a detail. We are so grateful to her!

Stands out in a vanishing group of trustworthy realtors in the Bay area

"Honest, patient, knowledgeable, and highly professional are just a few words that perfectly describe Elena. We chose to work with her after attending one of her open houses, where her incredible attention to detail and hard work were immediately obvious. Those traits are rare in the real estate world. Throughout our five-month search, Elena was with us every step of the way—scheduling inspectors, conducting thorough due diligence, and completely putting our minds at ease. Thanks to her extensive network, she ultimately found us an amazing off-market home. Elena truly listens, provides honest feedback, and always keeps her word. We highly recommend her to our friends and family without hesitation!"

Ellyn made our first home sale easy with honest guidance, transparency and care

As first-time home sellers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ellyn. Having grown up with her as a friend made the process feel even more comfortable, but what truly stood out was her professionalism, honesty, organization, and transparency every step of the way. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, was always available to answer our questions, and never made us feel like any concern was too small. During negotiations, she provided thoughtful guidance and helped us make informed decisions with confidence. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we always felt supported and well-informed. Selling a home for the first time can be overwhelming, but Ellyn made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Patient, knowledgeable, and truly committed to finding the right home

Patient, knowledgeable, and truly committed to finding the right home

Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying journey. Over the past two years, she patiently showed us many homes in the Walnut Creek and surrounding areas without ever making us feel pressured to make a decision. She always encouraged us to wait until we found the right home, and thanks to her guidance, we finally purchased a house that we truly love. Karen is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and was always honest with her advice. She was responsive, professional, and available whenever we had questions, whether it was about the offer process, inspections, escrow, or negotiations. Throughout the transaction, she went above and beyond by coordinating with the seller, lender, escrow company, and contractors to keep everything moving smoothly, especially when timelines became tight. What stood out the most was that she genuinely cared about our interests. She was never focused on simply closing a deal—her priority was making sure we were comfortable and confident with every decision. Her patience, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. We are incredibly grateful for all of Karen's hard work and support, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is an outstanding Realtor and a wonderful person to work with.
