We found Cherie’s team online while looking for an agent. I went through the reviews and I’m so glad we decided to meet with them. Cherie was unavailable at the time and she connected us with her partner Jason Bauer. I have no words to express our gratitude for this man. Jason was so kind and friendly since day one. We explained to him that we are not only looking for a house but also selling our condo. His knowledge and professionalism was amazing. We were very specific as to what we were looking for and he never pushed us or rushed us on a wrong purchase. We finally found the perfect house for our family and he got us under contract almost right away. We were beyond excited and thankful we chose the right agent! On the selling part, he went above and beyond to attract people so we could sell the condo fast and there was no doubt the he would deliver! If you need an amazing team, Cherie’s team is the dream team!! Highly recommend them and of course we will choose them again and again! Jason, thank you for everything!

Cherie Zurek and Jason Bauer are superior Realtors not just in years of expertise but they always care deeply about their clients. Buying and selling can have many ups and downs but the one thing I alway hear ( and I’ve had many transactions with this team) is their calming words saying, “ We are here for you no matter what you decide!” They sincerely mean that. Staying in your corner is what separates an everyday Realtor from a superlative Realtor. Choosing this team will bring you a friend for life.

Cherie has many years of experience and knowledge in the real estate market. Cherie and her team have done an excellent job marketing my three properties which resulted in quick sales and smooth closing. They are easily assessable with prompt responses to any questions or concerns that arise during the listing process. Each listing was always well advertised, with drone footage and professional colorful brochures describing the property. Well Done! 5 Star Agent

Selling our home in Lake Zurich was such an important milestone for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team than Cherie Smith Zurich of RE/MAX Suburban and her assistant, Jason Bauer. From our very first meeting, Cherie impressed us with her deep knowledge of the market, clear strategy for positioning our home, and honest advice on how to prepare it for sale. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence really set her apart. Every recommendation she gave—from staging suggestions to pricing—was spot on, and it made a huge difference in how our home was presented. Jason worked seamlessly alongside her, keeping everything organized, communicating updates quickly, and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. He even offered to attend each showing because of our fur-baby and his anxiety with strangers walking through our home. What truly stood out was the level of care and personal touch they both brought to the process. They understood the emotional side of selling a home and guided us through it with empathy, patience, and confidence. We always felt that they were fully invested in helping us achieve the best possible outcome—and they delivered. Thanks to Cherie and Jason, the selling process was smoother and far less stressful than we ever expected. We’re beyond grateful for their expertise and dedication, and we highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their home. With Cherie and Jason, you’ll not only get top-notch results but also a team that truly has your best interests at heart.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Cherie Smith Zurich of RE/MAX Suburban in Lake Zurich and her assistant, Jason Bauer, on the purchase of our new home in Wauconda. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Cherie brought a wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care to every step of the process. She took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in a home and provided thoughtful guidance along the way. Her expertise in the local market and her ability to navigate the complexities of a home purchase gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the journey. Jason was also an incredible resource, ensuring that every detail was handled with care and that we always had the information we needed in a timely manner. Together, they make a phenomenal team—responsive, supportive, and always willing to go above and beyond. What stood out most was how much Cherie and Jason cared about us as people, not just as clients. They were patient with our questions, proactive in addressing concerns, and truly invested in helping us find the right home for our family. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication. Thanks to Cherie and Jason, we are now settling into a home that we absolutely love. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—you couldn’t ask for a better team on your side!

I have known Cherie Smith Zurek for 21 years, and Cherie has always done a fantastic job for me in every way possible. Cherie and her team are knowledgeable, communicated and extremely professional. Cherie took part of every step of the process of selling my home, made the process smooth and took care of all the details. Very grateful for Cherie help!!

Cherie and Jason make an excellent team. We were first time home sellers after 28 years and were guided thru the entire process. They initially met with us to see the property to prepare a market comparison for us. They met us again to discuss the process, price, and fees. The other realtors only sent us emails with market comparisons. Cherie had great contacts for us to use for issues on the house and a fantastic real estate attorney. Once we were under contract Jason was tremendously helpful with getting workers to the house for issues found on inspection. We had moved out of state and I can’t say enough about Jason assisting with checking on the house, following up with showings, and getting workers into the house for repairs in our absence. Cherie and Jason both responded quickly to phone calls and texts and were always available to us. They kept us updated on all showing and activity at the house. We appreciated all their knowledge, expertise, and friendly service. Thank you

Cherie was always available to us, showed us many homes, and took the time to make sure we made an informed decision. We are thrilled with our new home and are grateful for everything Cherie did to make the home buying process go smoothly. She was always professional, knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we looked at, and was able to work with our schedules and timelines.

Trying to sell a house long distance is not an easy feat but Cherie made the whole process easy. She knows and understands her market, kept me in the loop, responded quickly if I had questions and sold my mothers house in record time above the listed price!

Cherie has facilitated 3 transactions for me -- 2 as a seller and 1 as a buyer. Her market knowledge and experience are top notch. She quickly responds to questions and is a good problem solver. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home, I recommend calling Cherie even if your timeline is a year away. And a shout out to Jason -- her teammate. He is also ready to answer questions, set up appointments, take nice photos, and more. Cherie and Jason are the best. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Cherie is the ultimate professional. She helped sell our home and managed everything to bring it to market, while we lived 1000 miles away. She is honest and trustworthy, has years of experience and is extremely communicative. Cherie makes moving a much more peaceful experience.

If you'd like an agent you can really trust to help you with every single aspect of moving.... this is your person!!! Cherie has connections for every type of moving related situation you might encounter. She helped me update, repair, show and sell my home after I had already moved 1000 miles away. Everything was done seamlessly. Cherie never fails to impress. Plus she is professional, personable, extremely experienced and fun. Sincerely, Susan Pedersen Hakes
