We are sending this email in reference to the hard work and dedication that Sheryl Rue-Borden exhibited to us in our relocation to the Chicagoland area.
Sheryl was the consummate professional, from start to finish, listening to our needs and steering us towards the right home in the right area for us.
Sheryl made us feel that no question was too insignificant to answer and no request was too mediocre to be handle. She was available to us 24 hours a day, 7 days a weeks, making us feel secure in our quest to find a new home.
Finding a home is always a stressful situation. But relocating to a new and different area is an extremely stressful situation. Sheryl alleviated our stress by always letting us know that she was looking out for our best interest and us.
Sheryl went above and beyond the call of duty time and time again and for that we are grateful.
Sincerely, Michael and Jennifer Rubin Lincolnshire, IL
I had dealt with more realtors in recent years than I cared to think of, and you were the best with great follow-up, as well as someone who provided service way beyond the call of duty!
Agnes Hardison Deerfield, IL
Sheryl, we are so happy that we found you on the internet! We know that we are in good hands! Michael just raves about how hard you work and how thorough you are and how focused on customer needs you are, and his head is hard to turn! Just wanted you to know that if your ears are tingling, its because good things are being said about you!!!
Stay warm! Debbie C. Libertyville, IL
Dear Sheryl,
Thanks for all of your help and support throughout the last several months. "Couldn't have done it without you" certainly applies here. Not only are you a great Real Estate Agent, but your warmth, support, and interior design expertise have been invaluable to us. We are excited about our new home!

Highly recommended. This one does her homework, takes the time to understand needs and desires then works hard to find quality listings that won't waste your time. I would not hesitate to call Sheryl first if I need a representative. What are you waiting for? This one works fast, had me in my new home in 3 weeks.

We have met Sheryl when we were looking for a house to buy. We drove by this absolutely beautiful house on a Saturday morning, and were excited to see that not only it was for sale, but not under contract either. We took down the realtor´s phone number and upon returning home checked out the specifics of the house. Since we were just at the beginning of the house search, we had to get our courage and questions together before making a phone call. Sheryl answered immediately and, to our great excitement said:" I can meet you there [at the house] in 20 min."
From that first meeting on, she was always on time, she was very accommodating and making herself available when we scheduled inspections, got contractors to see the house to give us quotes on remodeling, all prior to closing. Generous with her time, excellent and timely advice, reliable follow through with specific questions and concerns-she has never disappointed us with an unkept promise. Her cheerful, not intimidating personality was always a pleasure to be with. In spite of her demanding schedule, anytime she was with us, on a phone, via e-mail, or in person, she made it feel like we are the only customers she has-her full attention to our questions and knowledge of details of our situation never stopped to amaze me.
The most organized, efficient, reliable real estate agent we had ever dealt with, time and time again making us feel secure in our knowledge that we are in good hands of a person who actually cared for success of our deal and was genuinely determined to make it as smooth and painless as possible for us. I would recommend Sheryl full heartedly to any home buyer/seller, and would personally use her impeccable professional services again (even though we are not planning any move any time soon at the moment!).
Anna & Tony Belkin Glenview, IL
I first met Sheryl at an Open House, and she was full of energy and enthusiasm, helping me look for other homes on her laptop and answering any and all of my questions regarding the areas I was interested. She was working for us before my husband and I had even officially decided to use a buyers realtor. We're so glad we did because Sheryl knows her real estate territories inside and out, is immediately accessible by phone or email, and is visibly thrilled to be helping people find a home that they love. I can honestly say that Sheryl made our first-home buying experience a pleasure, and we highly recommend her.
Rachel & Michael Erdman Deerfield, IL
Not only did Sheryl provide great customer service, she also negotiated a price lower than my previous realtor had been able to do. I now am the proud and excited owner of the home of my dreams. I have and will continue to recommend her.

Hi Sheryl,
Just wanted the thank you for the great job you did for us selling our house. Your real estate expertise, negotiating ability and marketing for our property was awesome. As we have moved from the Chicago area, you can't sell anymore property for us, but we will recommend you to all of our friends who are thinking of buying or selling. Thank you again for all of your help.
Warm Regards,
Henry and Judy Johnson Previously Deerfield, IL now FL!
Sheryl packs a wallop as a realtor and does her profession proud.She walks the talk and does so with lightening speed.No delays. No excuses. Most importantly ? no need for excuses. Sheryl hung in there with us every step of the way from the pricing of the house we sold (in nineteen days) to the unpacking at our new home and beyond.Her advertising campaign was first rate ? which included well-written and beautifully photographed brochures as well as two open houses. We were repeatedly impressed with her professionalism, and with her sense of humor.She really made one of life´s most stressful experiences tolerable ? indeed, even fun from time-to-time. We will definitely call upon Sheryl in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. Simply put ? she´s a great realtor and a great lady.

I'm not a great fan of real estate people in general, but both Molly and I found your knowledge, professionalism and general demeanor to be absolutely the best we have ever been exposed to. That's a flowery way of saying you set the high water mark for anyone in the real estate business that we have ever dealt with. I am truly sorry that we are unable to conclude a transaction with you, as that would be a fitting conclusion to your exemplary efforts, which are appreciated more than you know. Molly and I are pleased to have had the opportunity to work with you and I hope that you will let your management at Koenig & Strey know what our thoughts are relative to your efforts. Or, if you would prefer, I would be happy to contact them directly if you can supply the necessary contact info.
Thanks ever so much and best regards,
Don

Dear Sheryl, Many thanks for all your hard work and effort this past year. Your knowledge and expertise has been invaluable and certainly helped us find the perfect house for our family! You went above and beyond the call of duty and we greatly appreciate all your hard work. We would more than recommend you to anyone needing a great realtor. John and Tammy Thompson Highland Park, IL
As a first home buyer, we had no idea where to begin. Sheryl walked through us from the beginning to the end. We could not have asked for a better realtor. Sheryl went above and beyond to help us meet all our needs from finding a right home to figuring out what color to use on our walls after we moved in. We highly recommended her to all our friends and families. We can´t thank her enough for all her service.
John and Shinjung Shim Highland Park, IL
Dear Mr. Gerstman:
I´d like to take a moment to highlight and recognize a truly outstanding member of your Highland Park Koenig & Strey sales team, Sheryl Rue-Borden.
My wife and I began our home search in mid-2007. From the moment we first discussed our search criteria, Sheryl demonstrated nothing but energy, understanding and thorough knowledge of the local real estate market. Sheryl was extremely attentive to our needs, actively sought feedback on listings and was relentless in ensuring our satisfaction. Sheryl is a talented negotiator and brings a diverse set of skills to the clients she serves. She is a consummate professional who is honest, caring and straightforward. Moreover, she has a wealth of knowledge and broad network of other professionals who can assist in the home purchase process. She acted not only as a realtor, but also as a trusted consultant and advisor throughout the entire transaction.
In the weeks and months after the close, Sheryl continues to go above and beyond. She is always willing and available to answer questions and resolve issues. I cannot express how grateful my wife and I are for her services. We will definitely refer her to our friends and colleagues.
NBA champion Pat Riley once said, "Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better." I cannot think of a more fitting way to summarize Sheryl´s attitude.
Kindest regards,
Mark Mathieson Marketing Manager Abbott Laboratories
Dear Sheryl,
I want to thank you for your professionalism , support and up beat attitude while we waited for my condo to sell . You were always there to listen to my concerns and your words reassured me and helped me to remain positve.
I also want to thank you for helping me find my new home. I told you exactly what I needed and you came through by finding the perfect home for me and my dog Ricky. I love the view outside my magnificiant windows, the five minute walk to the lake and my daily walks in downtown Evanston, not to mention my five minute drive to work.
I will always be indebted to you.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Palen, Evanston, IL
Sheryl, Thanks for all the help you provided in the recent purchase of my home. You went above and beyond to find me the home I wanted -- covering the market across the North Shore and over 5 months! Your market knowledge was invaluable in sorting out the real deals from the junk. I knew you were available when I needed to get in touch with you and always found time to keep the process moving. I enthusiastically recommend you to anyone needing a realtor.
