About Me

With two decades of experience as a successful real estate Broker, Sherry is committed to providing clients with the utmost care and the essential information needed to make complex real estate decisions. Sherry understands the client relationship is centered on trust and collaboration. She is committed to focusing on the client’s objectives and advocating on their behalf, always keeping their best interest in mind. Understanding the current market and utilizing knowledge and insight gained from participating in hundreds of transactions, Sherry offers personal attention and guidance through the home-buying and selling process.

In today’s dynamic market, Sherry believes the best way to help clients is through careful planning and understanding the current market climate. If you’re a buyer that means knowing the inventory and understanding how to construct a compelling offer that results in a successful purchase. If you’re a seller, that means preparing and presenting your home in a way that drives interest and attracts multiple offers.

When developing a marketing plan, it’s important to focus on the factors that influence the success and profitability of the sale. These factors are: property condition, aesthetic appeal, marketing exposure and strategic pricing. Taking these four components into account and understanding the significance of each is important. Further, these components must support each other and operate in sync. When this is done successfully, the property will generate market interest and drive competition.

Sherry utilizes her design and business acumen to assist clients through the sales process. Skillful preparation and a detailed marketing strategy sets the seller’s property apart from the competition. Making a great first impression is key to generating serious buyer interest. Sherry oversees and manages all facets of the marketing and sale of the property. The pre-marketing includes obtaining inspections, managing repairs, enhancing the property aesthetic and working with stagers to present the property at its best. To determine the most effective pricing strategy, Sherry analyzes the current market trend and recently sold properties to suggest a strategic listing price that will generate excitement and stimulate the market.

Prior to real estate, Sherry graduated with honors from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. She designed sportswear for several prominent design firms and traveled worldwide designing collections. After several years, Sherry launched her own company, Staccato: a cutting-edge company with showrooms in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The design, marketing and business skills accrued while running Staccato proved fundamental in building her business in real estate.

Testimonials

"Choosing Sherry Benninger to be my realtor in selling my house was the best decision I could possibly have made.  She immediately jumped into action preparing the house for sale and marketing it, finding just the right people to do all the many jobs needed to accomplish that, solving the inevitable problems that arose, and leading me through the entire process step by step. She even found another wonderful realtor for me in the new community I was moving to.  She is hard-working, efficient and brought imagination and an artistic eye to the staging of the house, suggesting ideas to me that I initially thought were crazy but turned out to be brilliant! She was relentless in making sure that everything was done correctly and on schedule and that the house looked its very best. I always felt sure she had my best interests at heart, and she was so much fun to work with! I would recommend her to anyone without reservation."

"I had the great fortune to meet Sherry Benninger at an impeccably staged home she was selling earlier this year. We struck up a conversation and I immediately knew she is a consummate professional. I could tell from the get-go, staging and preparing homes for sale, are her forte. I invited her to look at my home in Piedmont Pines. Sherry was so positive about my home. My beautiful Monterey Colonial home was built by the 1930 architects, Miller and Warneke. We had no documentation to prove this so Sherry went to work and hired an Oakland historian to confirm its pedigree. This tenacious research on Sherry’s part vaulted our home’s story and its value. Sherry is a top-notch professional in her field. She’s honest and straightforward and she guided us through a very successful sale. She’s the best in the business!"

"Sherry knows her stuff and she has an incredible understanding of the market. I was on a very tight schedule to sell my house, with very little flexibility due to a new job in a different location. The selection of Sherry Benninger to sell my house was undoubtedly the best decision I made in this process. We discussed many aspects of the sale, from timing, to listing price, property prep, inspections and disclosures. Sherry works hard, is reliable, does what she says she will do, and she kept us informed throughout the process. She handled everything for me, found the most amazing contractors, directed the choices for staging and colors, and so many details, which in the end all looked incredible. Sherry is personable and adjusted exactly to my schedule and communication preferences. I never thought selling a house could be such a smooth, easy and fast process.

I would not only recommend hiring Sherry in a heart-beat, I would strongly advise to follow her recommendations. She has the seller’s best interest at heart, and she presented the property in a way that attracted lots of buyers, resulting in multiple offers. We were delighted to receive seven fabulous offers!"
