Ratings & Reviews

James Watkins

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.

Nikki Stephens-Sipes

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.

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 and Team Forward did a great job in helping us find our new forever home. The process was as seamless as we could have asked for in a crazy seller's market. Sherri was always available and responsive to any questions and thoughts we had along the way. You can tell she really cares about her clients. Closing was smooth and easy, and we'd recommend Sherri and her team all the way!

Sherri was perfect for all my needs, and she guided me through the process so smoothly, answered all my questions and gave me great advice and even connected me to a great agent in New Mexico. I will recommend her to all my friends back in Maryland.

After searching for a home for several years, I finally closed on my home-yesterday! Sherri has been with me throughout much of my homebuying journey and played a major role in my success in becoming a first time homeowner. She was integral to my homebuying process. Sherri is a highly knowledgeable agent. She is hardworking and always made time to answer any questions or address any of my concerns. Sherri is an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person--she cares about the outcome! Getting you into the home you deserve and are happy with is her ultimate goal. I highly recommend Sherri--she's awesome!

Alison Lowery

Sherri truly will work above and beyond to find your ideal home. She helped us twice! First when we moved from out of state when we were looking for a rental. She FaceTimed us to see the houses we were interested in. Then when we were finally looking for a home to buy. Sherri was ready to go to bat for us, find us different routes for a perfect home, and helped with referrals for home repairs. She absolutely cares about her clients and will make you feel comfortable. She advocates for your best outcomes and is a blast to be around! We are so thankful for her amazing professionalism, care, and thoughtfulness.

Moya Sebo

Sherri Sembly was AMAZING with me and my home selling venture! I had SO many questions throughout the process and Sherri was always there to ease my mind and answer me. We went from coming soon status to under contract the same day without even being listed officially! She made sure the buyers agent was in the loop on everything and any questions they had she communicated to me with explanations and options. I cannot wait to go through Sherri & NextHome Forward in the near future for my buying experience.. If you want a knowledgeable, go-getter, who will have your best interest in mind - Sherri is your lady!

Thank you again Sherri!

Dave Allen

Sherri Sembly is what every other realtor should aspire to be. Honest, straight up, knowledgeable, and nice with her fingers on the pulse of todays market. Sherri and her team had a plan from jump street and executed like a finely tuned team of professional athletes. My expectations were exceeded in every possible way from start to finish. I honestly couldn’t be happier. Thank you Sherri!! You and your team rock!!!

David Drummond

She did a great job all the way through the process and kept me inform along the way. She helped with staging the house and did things digitally, like using a system for informing the seller and agents when they would like to come and show your house (great for planning your time). She also provided some names of contractors to help with some of the work needed for the house and they were at reasonable rates and did a great job. During the contract phase, she also used a system to electronically sign certain documents needed prior to settlement. She asked to be cc on all correspondence you sent out which helped out at settlement. I had an issue with the title company not filling out the wire part for sending money for my settlement on the next day and she had it for me in a few minutes. This was something the title company should have done (selected by buyer), but she was able to help me quickly. Would recommend her to anyone.

Hope Small

Sherri Sembly and team are fantastic professionals! Listed and sold my home in 3 days. Their marketing and photography are the best. Highly recommend for selling or buying.

Shahana Khan

For our home, we were lucky to have worked with Sherri Sembly. I am so glad we did. They were there every step of the way. Extremely professional, thorough, courteous and gave us the best quality of services. If you are looking for a realtor who you can trust, I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

B. Hope

We are very pleased with NextHome Forward. The sales rep. Sherri Sembly went out of her way to help make selling out home as easy as possible. We also needed a new home at the same time, and she also handled that with finesse. We are transitioning much easier since Sherri stayed on top of every move. We are retired and elderly, so you know how frustrating things can get. But for Sherri, she understood and handled us with kid gloves at the same time with respect. So if you need someone you can depend on it would be NextHome Forward with Sherri Sembly on your side.

Benny Williams

I had the honor of working w/Sherri from NextHome Forward, and the experience was awesome! She is the absolute BEST! Very professional, honest, straightforward, thorough, attentive, & patient. She always made herself available to address my concerns and was very communicative. Sherri is a joy to work with and I will always reach out to and work w/Next Home Forward for my real estate needs and will always refer them to people that I know who are looking to buy or sell. Next Home Forward is the brokerage that you want by your side whether you’re buying or selling! You can’t go wrong, and you won’t regret it!!!

Meghan Stitely

Sherri was amazing to work with. She is very responsive, knowledgeable, and cares about her clients. Sherri helped make the home buying process very smooth by working closely with the lender and title companies. She has great follow through, and I enjoyed working with her so much. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic agent.

Jonathan Conklin

Highly recommend Sherri. Exceeded all of my expectations. Patient, knowledgable, and extremely helpful throughout the process. Her recommendations were spot on and made all the difference. Have now worked with her both as a seller and a buyer and couldn't have been more pleased.

Gavin and Zaria Proctor

Sherri is Simply Amazing! She is a great realtor who knows her stuff. Being first time home buyers she never left us in the dark she explained and prepared us for everything that would come our way, she was with us through thick and thin (13months) and now she's like family she's never gave up or pressured us to settle. Her goal is not to just get you in a house but to make sure that house is the right one for you and the one you absolutely LOVE. She's very knowledgeable, extremely patient, reliable and most importantly trustworthy. You can best believe she has your best interest at heart. I would 1000% recommend her!

Ryan McLarney

Sherri is amazing! Not only did she help me buy my first home, she also recently helped me sell it, and purchase my second! She helped me with everything every step of the way in both processes. She made it as close to effortless as possible. My family and I couldn’t be more grateful we had the opportunity to work with her. Without a doubt I would pick her again if I needed to. Thank You!

Jessica Mason

Sherri is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with! She is honest and straight-forward and her inputs were extremely valuable as we were purchasing a home from another state and could not view them in person. She is thorough and great at following up and communicating. We loved working with her and would definitely recommend her services to anyone buying or selling a home. I know we will work with her again in the future.

Steven Ferrell

My wife and I conducted 4 interviews prior to selecting Sherri. Her enthusiasm and personality made her an easy choice. She was perfect from the very start. The virtual staging was exceptional. Her availability was remarkable. If she couldn't immediately answer a call, she called back in a very timely matter. We felt like we were working with a family member the entire process. Sherri kept us well informed. I highly recommend Sherri to help sell your current home or even purchase your next.
