I recently sold my home with Sherri's help and she was fantastic to work with. She was knowledgeable, frequently did research on what was going on in the market, took the time to understand and address my concerns, and did whatever she could to get the home to closing. 5 stars!

I don't usually write reviews, but Sherri was so awesome that I have to take the time to express how grateful we are for her assistance. Her professionalism and guidance throughout the sale process was exceptional. Right after listing our house the market stalled, and Sherri's understanding of the local market and overall expertise eventually lead to three different offers with the final one coming in at asking price. She is a consummate communicator, and we always knew what was going on even when there were challenges with the buyer's agent. If you are considering selling your home, I highly recommend that you give Sherri a call. You won't be disappointed!

You will never find a finer, more dedicated, more patient and ever-engaged team than this one. Sherri was on point and watching our interests ever step of the way in what turned out to be a sale and purchase that were challenging on both sides, but the whole team is just amazing. The levels of advocacy they bring to their clients is a rarity. I cannot thank them enough.

Sherri is the best realtor EVER!!
She's a pleasure to work with and gives you the honest truth no matter if it's good, bad or even ugly. She's very knowledgeable and has the patience to break it down to you. Her motivation is inspirational, no matter the circumstance.
Sherri gets the deal done and follows through to detailed completion. You won't regret choosing her as your realtor and even years later, she still gives the best advice 🙂 Thank you!

I had the pleasure to work with Mrs. Sherri briefly and she is a very honorable person with integrity.

Megan Hueg
Abingdon, MD - May 27, 2025

I can't recommend Sherri Sembly highly enough as my realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area and the market- especially due to the fact that I had to list it at not the best time of year. From our first meeting, she took the time to truly listen and understand my situation, never rushing me or pushing for quick decisions- we really clicked. She understood my situation and developed a marketing and sales plan with a level of care that went far beyond just being a real estate agent. We had constant communication, and she always carried herself with kindness, and calm confidence. I always felt supported and informed. There is no quit in Sherri and worked as hard every day as she committed to me from the start. I was very happy with the sale price and couldn't have gotten there without her guidance.

Middle River, MD - Apr 30, 2025

Sherri is absolutely the best! Always upbeat, always glass half full, business savvy second to none. In addition to her business acumen, professionalism and real estate expertise, she is very personable, not always all business.
Sherri returns calls and texts promptly, is never late for appointments, gets into the details to make things happen and handled a few tasks that I probably should have done. She definitely goes over and above the call of duty.
Sale went quick and brought top dollar on the most reasonable terms. As I said, she's the best.
If you need an agent, look no further!

We are thrilled to recommend Sherri for her exceptional service in helping us sell our home. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she was not only highly knowledgeable about the local market but also deeply committed to understanding our specific needs and preferences.

Sherri was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, taking the time to explain every detail and guide us through all the complexities of home selling. She provided us with insightful advice, ensuring we felt confident in every decision we made. What truly stood out was her professionalism, constant communication, and attention to detail. No question was too small, and she always made us feel like we were a priority.

Additionally, Sherri demonstrated outstanding negotiation skills, securing us an excellent deal on the sale of our home. Her expertise, combined with her personal touch, made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and enjoyable. She went above and beyond!

We had an exceptional experience working with Sherri to sell our property and purchase our new home. Her professionalism and expertise in the real estate market were evident from the start. She guided us through every step of the process with precision and confidence. Sherri’s knowledge of the industry ensured that we made informed decisions in this difficult market and her attention to detail was impeccable. Not to mention, she we just loved her as person! I highly recommend Sherri to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Cockeysville, MD - May 20, 2024

I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to handle the sale of my home! Her skills are beyond anything I could have expected. I HIGHLY recommend her and believe you’ll be completely satisfied if you hire her to sell your home or represent you as a buyer’s agent. Have no fear, Sherri is here!

Amy Boegner
Forest Hill, MD - Mar 15, 2024

Sherri did an amazing job with the sale of our home. The sale from start to finish was seamless. She thought of every scenario, planned accordingly and had our best interest from start to finish. I could not ask for a better realtor.

Melvin L. Detweiler

I would say Sherri did a great job in helping with the settlement for our new property at Locust Point Road. I would highly recommend her services!

Stefan Williams
Parkville , MD - Oct 20, 2023

Sherri and her team are fantastic. From the start, she was professional, communicated well, and rapidly understood what we were looking for in our home. She provided great recommendations on lenders, title companies, and inspectors to rapidly aid in us closing in under 30 days. There was never a moment where we were unsure of what was next in our home buying process. We will be working with her and her team exclusively in the future. Great Work!!!

Naidia Smith
Bel Air, MD - Oct 15, 2023

Sherri was awesome to work with! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and held our hand throughout the entire process. She was always there to answer any questions that we had and made us feel as though we were her only clients. She rolled out the red carpet despite us being challenging clients and personally saw our transaction out until the end. I highly recommend Sherri and will definitely be working with her again and referring her to anyone looking for a new home or investment properties.

Michele K

I have certainly enjoyed working with Sherri Sembly and Nexthome. She was very professional and helpful to me through the journey of buying a home. She is very good at walking you through all the complex steps involved in finding, negotiating and closing on a home. She has always been prompt with handling any issues and knowledgeable about different ways to resolve them. I am so happy with her services and I love the home she found for me. I definitely will recommend her to my friends and family. Thank you Sherri. I am a very satisfied customer!

Alexis Fakner
North East, MD - Aug 1, 2023

We would absolutely recommend Sherri and Nisha to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. My husband and I met with and tried three realtors before we met Sherri. Often they were not responsive or unwilling to work with our schedule. We knew immediately that Sherri was a great fit for us and she helped us to sell our house within one weekend. She got us a great deal over asking and with wonderful terms to work for us! The photos of our house looked incredible and definitely helped to sell it quickly. She was very responsive and always available for us and our questions.

Cassandra Watkins
Bel Air, MD - Aug 1, 2023

Sherri Sembly is an exemplary real estate agent. She worked patiently with us to find just the right home. She is knowledgeable about the real estate market and the area's neighborhoods. We never felt pressured by Sherri to accept less than what was the right home and location for us. Even though it took a while to find our house, the location is absolutely perfect and I am certain we will soon feel right at home. I 100% recommend Sherri Sembly and NextHome Forward as an agent and company!!

Nikki Stephens-Sipes
Conowingo, MD - Aug 1, 2023

I worked with Sherri and she did an amazing job. I was selling my childhood home after my father passed away. To complicate things I was also living almost 2000 miles away for this home. Sherri helped me even before I officially met her. I would recommend her and her firm anytime. She made the whole process less painful and actually easy.

Jelani W
Abingdon, MD - Aug 1, 2023

Sherri was great when it came to buying our new home and selling our old one. On the buying side, she was very helpful and patient when we were searching in different cities which were far apart. When we finally found our home, she was efficient and timely with meeting all of our key dates. During closing, she brought activities for our small kids, and played with them while we signed documents. On the selling side, she helped us overcome a variety of issues while staying positive the whole time until the house was sold. Overall, Sherri was a joy to work with. She constantly fought to get us the best deals. She cared about us finding the right home and treated my family like her own in the process.

Sherri has been wonderful to work with every step of the way. Very knowledgeable, hardworking, passionate about her job and communicating with us throughout our entire process. We would definitely work with Sherri and NextHome Forward for our home buying/selling needs in the future.

Dave Schmelter
Bel Air, MD - Oct 29, 2021

If you need someone with lots of patients, Sherri Sembly is the one for you. She worked with our seller to allow us to rent back until we were able to move into our new place. She stayed on top of every step we went thru. She is super easy to work with. I would recommend her very highly to sell or buy a home.

Crystal Presberry
Abingdon, MD - Jul 21, 2021

Sherri is awesome she’s a great realtor. We went through a lot and she was with us through thick and thin never once complained, back out or gave up. I truly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home. We will miss you but we close so we will stay in contact.

Sherri is the BEST

We were extremely please with the work of Sherri Sembly. We always felt that she understood our needs and interest. Sherri was always timely, very professional and unrelenting in providing us with the best possible options. Once we decided on a location, Sherri along with her lender made it possible for us to close in 3 weeks.
