Sherry Calbert

Sherry was raised in Chico…

Her clients are buying into the same community she grew up in and will share with them. Her father, Louie Ricci, was a pastor and a Chico icon - people came to him not just for his good judgement, but also for how he made them feel! A proud daughter, she strives for the same mix of sound logic and strong personal connection with her clients. Loving what you do may be a cliche', but its original truth is renewed in her case.

She has over 25 years of client-centered experience and she sticks up for her customers. She knows how to be a tough, yet respectful negotiator. In fact, it is her solid relationship with other realtors that so often makes the difference in multiple-offer situations. Butte County is a "small world,” and realtors need each other here. With a long history of building bridges, not burning them, she has always treated her competitors as colleagues, a "good faith" ethos that facilitates seamless networking. The access she has earned grants her real-time, text-streaming data on exactly which agents have qualified buyers and the precise price ranges they're qualified for - she can quickly home in on the best matches for her sellers. Yes, there have been individual accolades. For instance, in the top 1% of sales for Century 21 offices nationwide, she has sold hundreds of homes. But those numbers are built by humbly sustaining cordial client and colleague relationships. A lot of hard work helps as well. From her recently raised billboard on busy Esplanade Avenue, to full-page color ads in glossy realty publications, to offering elegant cheese plates for open houses, she is always ready to spend to showcase properties. She will even beat the pavement to door-knock around the houses she is representing. She hustles for her clients - over two decades' worth of testimonials speak to that claim and she is grateful for them. Her achievements do not mean that she is only interested in listing expensive homes, either. She welcomes all properties, working just as intensely regardless of pricing.
