“Sharlene is by far the BEST Realtor we’ve used in the sale or purchase of six homes. She’s GREAT!”
“I am so absolutely fortunate that Sharlene was recommended by a family member. During the looking process she was available, never pushy and acknowledged my concerns. When the right property was found she worked to see that my offer was the one accepted. From offer acceptance to close she stayed on top of things so that I never had to worry. Since I was out of state that was most helpful. On a scale of one to ten with ten being the best, I would have to give Sharlene a twenty!!!”
“Sharlene was a huge help and made the whole process fun!”
“We appreciate your kindness and knowledge!”
“Honest to God, we have NEVER worked with a Realtor who we felt was so much an advocate, educator and partner in our goals. We highly value your perceptions and judgment.”
“Trustworthy, responsive, knows the market… Sharlene went out of her way to help us sell our house from 500 miles away (we had relocated).”
“Greatest strengths were: easy to communicate, personable, honest and very knowledgeable.”
“It was a pleasure to work with a knowledgeable professional.”
“Thank you 10,000x over for your guiding hand and wisdom in helping us through this transition. This was my first home sale experience and I honestly couldn’t imagine doing it without you and your team.”
“I had realized long ago how genuine you are and that ‘Realtor’ doesn’t in an way fully capture you, but you still surprised the kids and me… thank you for thinking of us! Our first holiday season here was wonderful, and I often think about how this home may not have become ours minus your intervention in your SUV one afternoon. Gently getting me to think about this house again was one of the best gifts anyone has shared given all the long-term consequences of moving here. So, thank you, thank you, thank you Sharlene.”
“We are so very grateful for your expertise and patience with the selling process.”
“I can’t say enough about the outstanding service I received from Sharlene. I moved to San Francisco two years ago but kept my house until the market recovered. When it did, Sharlene jumped into action. Sharlene went over and above the call of duty on a daily basis, acting on my behalf and guiding me into making the right decisions when I couldn’t always physically be present. I feel like I owe her additional money for being my “therapist” as well LOL. I HIGHLY recommend Sharlene, whether you’re a buyer or a seller. This process is not easy and I wouldn’t want to do it again without her help.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! You were wonderful to work with and helped lead me to a wonderful home. Thank you for all your expertise, support, and almost constant availability!”
“Thanks, Sharlene! You were great! We love our home!”
“Thank you for being honest, friendly and not aggressive. It’s such a pleasure to work with you and know you.”
“We remain grateful for your guidance, generosity, and good company. You read us like a book, and directed us to this place we love to live in.”
“We have bought and sold three homes in this lifetime. Only this experience could be called a pleasure. Someone told me that Sharlene was a “house whisperer”. “Don’t worry,” I was told. “She will find you the home that you will love.” And yes, she did. We flew in from NYC (a relocation) with anxiety and expectations to find a place in three days. Sharlene cherry-picked the listings according to our needs and saw past the surface and looked into our hearts. With seemingly infinite patience, kindness and compassion she found us the perfect home, the perfect neighborhood (and the perfect commute). It is with gratitude that I write these words. Sharlene Hensrud made our dreams come true. “
” I can’t believe how responsive Sharlene is to our ongoing questions, updating current market conditions, providing data and suggesting other options and ideas with our real estate concerns. She makes us feel as if WE WERE HER ONLY CLIENTS, but I know for sure, we are not. But thanks for making us feel like we are so special to your business!!”
“I’ve met many Realtors over the years, but none better. Your communication is superb. You do what you say you are going to do, and your ethics do your profession proud!”

“Thank you so much for everything you did for me! I am so happy to be all moved and settled and I really couldn’t have done it without your knowledge of the market and what to do with my townhouse. It’s also nice to receive thank you letters and things from you, it really makes me feel like you care about your clients rather than the impression I had of Realtors prior to you. Thanks for ‘taking care of me’ and all your hard work, you will never completely know how nice it was to have hope when we put it back on the market.” (after not selling for a year)
“Sharlene’s greatest strength is being a client advocate. This was very evident – it builds trust and return business. She’s the best. I have used her for three purchases and two sales, and will use her again if I move!”
