First time homebuyer experience

I met Cyndi through a first time home buyers seminar and engaged her services at the recommendation of both my broker and lender. In the often confusing process of trying to close on a first home, Cyndi was professional, effective and efficient. Her ability to take the complex language associated... with such tasks and put it into easily understood terms made the process seem remarkably easy. Her assistance was timely and her attention to detail unparalleled I would highly recommend Cyndi for real estate transactions without reservation.

Handled complicated real estate transaction with favorable outcome

Cynthia recently handled a very complicated real estate case for us. We originally hired her to represent our interests as buyers and prepare the closing documents on our new house. Our 'simple' closing turned into a 3-month ordeal due to multiple seller contingencies and extensions we had to deal wi...th, not to mention unexpected delays and document problems from the sellers. She handled everything beautifully and professionally. I was constantly impressed with the amount of time and energy she devoted to our case and with her creative suggestions and strategies - she clearly wanted a favorable outcome for all parties yet also remained 100% committed to our interest. Many times I wanted to give up and walk away from the deal, but Cindy always had a fresh idea to keep us going and in the end, the deal went through and we are happy owners of our new home! I know we would not have closed if it were not for her organization, intelligence, and legal tenacity. She is also a very pleasant person to interact with and kept us in the loop through every twist and turn. I would recommend her wholeheartedly for any first time buyer needing a 'simple' closing attorney or for more seasoned real estate pros needing someone to handle complicated real estate cases. You will not be disappointed!

I'd recommend Cynthia Sherman to anyone. She was great.

Cynthia was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. I needed help with a house purchase and it all needed to go smoothly since I was traveling and the rather unhelpful vendor was being inflexible. Cynthia was terrific: helpful, thorough, available, communicative and efficient. I have no hesitation... in recommending her to anyone.

Trustworthy, Diligent, & Knowledgeable; repeat client/professional recommendation

If you're looking for stellar representation in a real estate transaction - I cannot recommend Attorney Cynthia Sherman highly enough. I have worked with Cyndi both professionally and personally since 2007. I used Cyndi when I purchased my own home and as an active Realtor, I work closely with a att...orneys regularly. She is without question, head and shoulders above the rest. Her attention to detail, diligence and ability to explain legal contracts/concepts with ease is paramount to making a transaction as stress free as possible. She goes the extra mile for her clients and she has done so time and time again for mine. Best of all, she is reasonable and easy to work with. If you need an attorney for a real estate transaction, don't look any further.

First-Time Home Buyer Review

Ms. Sherman took my wife and I through a very complicated closing deal with patience and very clear explanations of all the minute details of closing on a home. In our case, our Condo unit was more complicated than most as it came with a deed restriction which prevented our first bank from committing... to a loan. She stayed with us all the way and made sure we were protected throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a real estate attorney.
