Sheri Foley Allen is a true gem. In this tough seller's market Sheri helped us look for and purchase an amazing home. As first-time home buyers Sheri and her team provided the experience and peace of mind necessary to navigate through the arduous home-buying process. She helped us find a local lender to work with to maximize our chances in submitting a winning proposal, using a VA loan. She knew exactly what to do and when to do it and made us feel as if we were in truly capable hands every step of the way. We are forever grateful for the work put in by the Sheri Foley Allen team and highly recommend them to anyone lucky enough to secure their top notch real estate services.

Sheri and her team were exceptional to work with throughout my home buying process. They went above and beyond to ensure my home buying experience went smoothly and were always happy to answer any questions I had. Sheri also has extensive knowledge of the area and the market. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

I am writing the highest possible recommendation for the excellent job done by Sheri Foley Allen and her team when I put my townhouse on the market in the spring of 2021. I contacted two other agents before selecting Sheri. One agent that came out to the house about 6 month before it went on the market suggested a listing price $120,000 under the final sales price. Another agent suggested that tens of thousands of dollars needed to be spent to renovate all the bathrooms, get rid of a lot of dated furniture and make other major changes. After those changes were made, she said the townhouse could be listed for $80,000 less than the final sales price. Sheri was the agent for the sellers when I originally bought the house in 2004. In addition to the work I was already doing, (taking down wallpaper, painting, etc.) she recommended some minor upgrades (new carpet) which kept the total costs prior to listing at a very manageable amount. In addition, Sheri arranged for a drone video of the property which was very professionally done and had the house staged perfectly. Because of her excellent understanding of the market and what buyers are looking for, the house was on the market for just two days and there were several contract offers before it was sold for far more than the listing price. Sheris team includes a woman who makes the final touches on staging the house and a woman who seems to be able to sell almost anything. Everything I wanted to sell, or it would have been put in the junk, was sold quickly and for a good price. She worked miracles. I thought about selling the house myself with no agent aEUR" what a mistake that would have been. Sheri negotiated a sales price far, far above what I would have gotten if I sold it without an agent. If you have a house to sell anywhere in Northern Virginia and dont use Sheri Foley Allen, you will be making a mistake. I would rate her and her team 11 out of 10.

Sheri and her team where outstanding, helpful, and extremely competent. We would recommend them to anyone selling a home in the No. Virginia area. JoAnn and Phil Casteel

Selling a house involves many different abilities from understanding real estate markets, governmental regulations, and legal and financial aspects of home sales to an artistic eye. Professionals need the abilities to analyze a sellers needs and wants and to provide professional, yet personable, advice and counsel. Regardless of the ability required, Sheri Foley Allen and her team were ALWAYS at the top of their game. Every step of the way, they were spot on. From the beginning, we were impressed. Sheri and her team educated us about the entire home sale process and were physical participants, joining us each step of the way. They gently helped us see what features and accents were needed to reflect the values intrinsic in our house. As a result, their expertise and professionalism made those values shine in the publicity for and the presentation of the house. Throughout the house-selling process Sheri Foley Allen and her team consistently offered this same cheerful, expert assistance whenever we needed it, for as long as we needed it, regardless of the day or the time. They answered our questions, held our hands, explained the myriad processes involved in selling a house, and offered insightful counsel. Their accurate and excellent guidance put us in an excellent position for the sale. They even physically joined us at the closing. After closing, Sheri and team continued to touch base with us, making sure our move was going well and that we had all our questions answered. By the end, it was much more than a professional relationship; it was a friendship. And, we were sorry to be moving away from such accomplished and admirable people. We can most enthusiastically recommend Sheri Foley Allen and her team to anyone considering selling their home. The service they provide will always be professional as well as caring. And, the results will be impressive and satisfying. Sheri Foley Allen and team have our gratitude in more ways than we can begin to express. Sincerely,James and Rebecca Ferrall

The Sheri Foley Allen Team made selling our house a breeze! From our first meeting with Sheri, we knew we had found an experienced and knowledgeable agent. Sheri explained the rare market that we were experiencing and the pros and cons of selling our house at this time. She targeted a selling price that was right in line with the market. This was no easy feat, given the comps in the area were all over the place. To say the least, it was a tricky market. Sheri and team were able to provide us with the perfect suggestions to spruce up the house to make it more appealing to buyers and even recommended a contractor who was able to jump in quickly and get the work done rapidly. Sheris team are experts at staging! They took are lack luster interior decorating and made our house look like a model home. We had many comments on how beautiful the home looked after they performed their magic. They provided plants, pictures, miscellaneous dA(C)cor, and bedding throughout the home. All of this is included in the services they provide! One of the greatest benefits of The Sheri Foley Allen Team is that they are truly a team. They are experienced, dedicated professionals who work together seamlessly. We could call or text anyone on the team and get an immediate response. There was no time in the process that we questioned what was next; we knew exactly where we stood from renovations, staging, listing, selling, and closing. From our initial meeting to closing took less than 45 days, which included two weeks for us to paint and update the flooring. In two days, we had two strong offers and accepted an offer above asking price. We would like to publicly thank Sheri, Susan, and Lesley for knocking it out of the park for us and making what could have been a very stressful and difficult process very smooth and actually enjoyable! We highly recommended anyone considering purchasing and/or selling your home to reach out to The Sheri Foley Allen Team. You will not regret it.

I recently sold a townhouse in Woodbridge with Sheri. I wanted a local agent who really understands the market and not just blindly set a selling price based on what the "numbers" show. I interviewed several agents before committing and thought Sheri did a superb job explaining to me the market, selling process, and how to set the appropriate selling price. During the week my house went on the market, there were a ton of other similar townhouses that came on the market in my zip code. I saw a lot of them priced much higher but I trusted Sheri's instincts and stuck with our strategy. Ultimately, it paid off and my house went under contract in four days with a contract price that was more than generous. Meanwhile, some of the other townhouses that were priced much higher than mine languished and eventually had to drop their price tag quite a bit. I think Sheri and her team's biggest strength is staging. Not all agents will help out with staging but Sheri and her team have tons of experience in this area and really made my house shine. I believe it made a huge difference and really appreciated her for doing that. Sheri has been in the industry for a long time and has good instincts. I would highly recommend her.

We highly recommend Sheri Foley Allen and her team. They were awesome from start to finish, providing professional and personal service. The listing presentation was organized and was based on factual information gathered from multiple listing and tax data. Sheris knowledge of the market area is impressive which was key for determining our list price. Her team worked together to stage our home, making it one of the most attractive presented on the MLS. Yes, you get a team! We are sure this helped us get multiple offers. Communication throughout the process was frequent and easy. The Sheri Foley Allen Team handled all the details from getting the homeowners documents to coordinating settlement at an office that was convenient to our home. You definitely get what you pay for, and it was well worth using this professional Realtor. The commission was fair, and the services provided resulted in us accepting an offer well above list price.

Simply the best. having bought and sold several houses, Sheri and her team are by far the best i have ever worked with. Upon contacting Sheri, she responded immediately and set an initial appointment, for which, she cam prepared with local comps and recommendations on price, timing and things to fix. One we decided to sell, her team arrived ready to work and move things around to make the house look perfect. they arranged for a professional photographer who did an outstanding job of making the house look perfect and in the end we sold at above asking. throughout the process Sheri was always available answering text or emails within a few min. and was critical in the negations with multiple offers and assisting us with final decision. I almost never provide comments or endorsements especially on line, in this case I had too. this team was truly the best i have ever worked with, highly recommend. no negatives.

Sheri and her team provided sound advice to us to prepare our home to sell. The team was flexible when we needed to make a few adjustments to the schedule. The staging work they did was terrific! The house sold the first day it was on the market! We highly recommend Sherri and her team for their experience and professionalism.
