YOU ARE! What People Are Saying About Sheree...
“I contacted Sheree to sell our Leaside family home of almost 60 years. From the onset she was always informative, knowledgeable, professional, honest, hard working, very personable and available 24/7 to assist me, answer questions, and relieve the stress throughout the entire process. Her expertise in the field from preparing the home for sale to staging, photographing, marketing and selling, contributed to a positive experience and a successful outcome. I highly recommend Sheree to anyone who ventures into the real estate market. She makes you “Number 1” and she is a pleasure to work with.”
- Dorothy Hunt
“As veterans of the Toronto real estate market, we feel fortunate to have had Sheree’s services for our last four transactions. From finding the perfect buyer for a tough sell some years ago to negotiating a handsome premium over asking on our last sale, Sheree has always handled every detail of our real estate requirements with consummate professionalism. She also has a peerless support team of painters, stagers etc. to make the whole process go smoothly. Thank you Sheree!”
- Sonny & Jasmine
“Sheree Cerqua is a leading Realtor for a reason. When we sold our home this year, we relied on Sheree for her professional advice on how to price and market our property for the best possible outcome. She is personable and involved in every detail throughout the process, acting as a savvy and informed guide and most importantly, as an advocate for her client. We would highly recommend Sheree to anyone in the process of selling a home in the GTA. She has a handle on market data, best positioning and a deep list of contacts that truly makes a world of difference in the outcome. Besides, she is funny and warm and you would enjoy her company even if she wasn’t your agent!”

Selling your home for top dollar, especially in a market that has experienced some change recently, takes a lot more than sticking a sign in the lawn. You need an agent who knows how to highlight a home’s best features and make it look magazine ready, to get as many buyers through the door as possible. Let my 15 years of experience and my successful marketing/staging plan get you your home’s top dollar.
