About
As a third generation San Franciscan, Cheryl feels fortunate to have been raised in such a diverse, exciting city as San Francisco. Her fascination with real estate started at a young age. By her early twenties she had purchased her first home and learned first hand the rewards of sweat equity.
A subsequent purchase was a five unit property in the Sunnyside where she quickly became engrossed with San Francisco's complicated and ever changing rent control laws from a property owner perspective. This experience has proven invaluable not only for the successful management of her property but for her investor clients who rely on her vast rental experience to help them successfully fill their vacant units with well qualified tenants. The systems she's been consistently using for the past 10+ years has resulted in a track record of zero evictions!
Cheryl enjoys working with a variety of clients ranging from investors to commercial clients to first time home buyers. She firmly believes in the tremendous benefits of owning real estate including the tax incentives, the gradual building of wealth and the satisfaction of being a property owner.
She takes pride in helping clients navigate through the sale or purchase of a property, negotiating the best price and terms, as well as ensuring that all the details will be smoothly handled.
In her free time, Cheryl enjoys raising orchids, hiking with her dogs, renovating her Spanish Revival home, and enjoying the fantastic restaurants available in San Francisco and on the Peninsula.

Testimonials
"Cheryl, hit it out of the park! 21 offers in a normalizing market & realizing a higher sales price than we expected was pure delight. Cheryl helped me to stay balanced during the sale of our beloved home that had been in the family for decades.
She was a pro at maintaining excellent relations with both the tenants occupying the property as well my brothers and sisters during this difficult time. By getting my family and our tenants on the same page, the result was a more marketable property which translated into a higher sales price.
Cheryl’s intangible skills truly sets her apart from the competition. Without a doubt you will enjoy & appreciate Cheryl’s calm, professional, no-pressure approach! Cheryl is the most reliable, trustworthy Realtor I’ve ever worked with.

"As first time home buyers, it was a relief to work with Cheryl who was patient and thoroughly answered all of our many questions. She has excellent suggestions about how to maximize a home's potential and she helped us to visualize the possibilities for home improvement with a limited budget.
We would highly recommend Cheryl to anybody looking to buy or sell their home.

"I would like to commend Ms. Cheryl Bower for her excellent service during the sale of my property at 1730 Sanchez Street, San Francisco.
Ms. Bower was informative, professional and helpful every step of the way. I was not experienced in property sales and found myself relying on her heavily. My trust was not misplaced. She handled the sale and property transfer smoothly and efficiently.
I would certainly recommend Ms. Bower without reservation.

"Dear Cheryl,
I understand that escrow is closed and we are now the proud owners of an office building in San Francisco. I have to admit over the course of the last six+ months, I was hopefully optimistic that we would be able to find a suitable space. However, after several attempts at offers that were not accepted, my hope began to fade and I think I would have gone into a passive position if it hadn't been for your constant dedication and outstanding service.
Your tenacious searching for properties was never exhausted and you were always ready with solutions to any roadblocks that crossed our paths.
You graciously offer an outstanding portfolio of services to your clients. I am so happy that whenever we need real estate assistance, you'll be there to help us.
On behalf of my entire company, thank you, thank you, thank you. Everyone is very happy this process is complete."
