"I'm very wary of realtors and when I first spoke with Cheryl Cotton in 1996 this was the first thing I told her. But because she impressed me with her honesty and expertise, I became her client. She called me in 1998 and told me about a property that had just come on the market she had personally sold many years before. She insisted I put in an offer sight-unseen because it simply wasn't going to last. I trusted her so much that I told her to "do it" and drove by the property that evening to see what I was purchasing. It was a real steal and I got it! I paid under $300,000 and by 2001 it was worth $600,000--and that was before the market got hot.. Since then I've pretty much gotten rich from buying what she suggested. It you want to make money and want someone you can trust, Cheryl is the one. --Gary Love" back to top

"Cotton Realty found my son and I a unique building, helped us get a low interest FHA loan plus money to do some construction on the building. In less than a year, the building was worth a lot more and was producing a hefty income. ?Lillian Oldakowski" back to top

"I was only 22 when I went to Cotton Realty to purchase some units. I wanted something secure and they found me a great fourplex in a terrific area. I purchased it for under $150,000 on their advice that this was a ?good buy.?That was in 1998. I don?t want to sell yet, but I understand my property is worth over $800,000 now. When I?m ready to buy again or sell this property, it will be Cotton Realty that I call. ?Matt Troyka

We?ve been clients of Cotton Realty for many years. Around 1999, Cheryl called us because two 4-plex buildings had fallen out of escrow. She insisted these were a great deal. So we bought them for $300,000 each and today they are worth just a little over $1,200,000 each. That?s certainly a deal, all right. Our thanks to the Cottons for calling us first. ?Tom & Dorothy Greer

"Cotton Realty sold me a house about 7 or 8 years ago and my experience was so positive that when my mother died recently and I had to sell her home, my first thought was to call Cotton Realty. I told them to ?handle it? because I just couldn?t deal with the particulars at that time. They not only got me more than the current sales in the area but also sold the house in 2 weeks. Then they coordinated everything for me so that I only had to come in and sign the closing papers. I?d use them over and over again and will when I?m ready to sell my current home. ?Don Bjurstrom" back to top

"It seems like I?ve been with Cotton Realty forever. I?m a retired senior and can?t afford to take chances with my investments. Cotton Realty has been my number one choice in companies. They have helped me take my meager retirement funds and found me properties that make me money every month. I?ve purchased 6 properties from them and sold 2 with ease and with a remarkable profit. I live like a queen on the money I make from these properties every month. ?Billie Marie Brown" back to top

We have been clients of Cotton Realty since 1997. The Cottons have helped us to purchase, refinance, sell and purchase again, all to our benefit. We recommend everyone to them. We are able to live with so much more ease now that we have extra money each month from cash flow. We are so grateful.?Art & Isabel Garcia

"My husband and I became clients of Cotton Realty in 1999. We had our entire investment of $50,000 in the stock market and were steadily loosing money. Cotton Realty worked with us to purchase a fourplex, and then refinanced it to purchase another. In all, we purchased four properties from Cotton Realty and have recently sold all of them through Cotton.
When we were ready to sell, we had property valuations from two other real estate companies on the properties we just sold but we listed with Cotton Realty. Why? Because we trusted they would work hard for us and get us the most for these properties. They listed these properties for a total of $75,000 more then the suggested prices from those two other well-known real estate companies. Not only did we sell for full price, but Cotton Realty also got us $30,000 over full price on one of these properties?and this was before the real estate frenzy.
We started with $50,000 and after only 2-1/2 years, made a profit of over $300,000. Cotton Realty certainly knows what they are doing. ?Don and Karin Lewis

"We were first recommended to Cotton Realty by one of our relatives in 2000. I was looking for something special that would bring me a high return on my investment in a short amount of time. Cotton Realty found me a triplex right on Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach with an ocean view at a cost of only $895,000. Even so, I was inexperienced and unsure. Upon Cotton?s recommendation that this property was a real ?sleeper,? we purchased it. Today it is worth well over $3,000,000. ?Brad Dechter" back to top

"I came to Cotton Realty in 1996. I didn?t have very much money and my credit left a little to be desired. Cotton Realty found me the perfect affordable fourplex, got me a loan for it, was able to overcome many of the obstacles that were in my way to purchasing. I just sold my property?through Cotton Realty of course?and made a profit of $259,000 in just a little over 4 years. I?m going to purchase my next property through them too. ?Jesse Lee III

"My wife and I owned a condo that we moved out of and were using as a rental. The tenants had pretty much destroyed it and we wanted to sell it so we called Cheryl Cotton, with whom we have done business for several years.
Cheryl went out to see the condo and made a list of its many positive features. She also gave us a small, inexpensive laundry list of cosmetic repairs we could do to make the unit more attractive. Then she proceeded to list it for $40,000 more than it any other condo in the complex!
This was at a time when the market was still slow and nothing was selling in this complex. But, with her enthusiasm and advertising skill, we sold it within 2 weeks for full price!
If you want an agent you can trust to work completely in your best interest, Cheryl?s the one. Ed Kuhn
