Fantastic experience: If you are in the market to buy or sell do not pass up the opportunity to work with this team. The knowledge, work ethic and overall customer service is second to none. They helped me purchase and now sell my home and the 6 years in-between they were still there for anything I needed, or had someone that could help.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Madelaine, Lynee and Chad!! They have helped us buy and sell and each time they have gone above and beyond. They are the dream team!! Thank you for all of your hard work!!!
It has been a pleasure for all of us to work with you and your family! We love having you in our community and hope you continue finding enjoyment here - thanks so much for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Madeline Lavoie, Chad and her real estate team. Selling a really challenging piece of property felt like a huge uphill battle, but they kept going, stayed positive, and worked tirelessly on my behalf. In the end, they made it happen, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a dedicated, skilled agency, this is absolutely the one to trust.
Fantastic experience: We began working with Cherie Miller 9 years ago as a referral from a dear friend and since then Madeleine and Lynee have become like family. They know the high desert in & out and steered us in the right direction based on our dreams & needs. For us, having a real estate partner who was direct & honest really helped us approach home first-time home buying with confidence. We fully trusted their advice and knew that they heard our needs. I've called them so many times whenever we've needed guidance during the purchasing process or for improvements in the years since. Highly recommend Cherie Miller!
Fantastic experience: I bought my house from all the hard work. Madeline did find the house of my dreams.
Fantastic experience: The Desert’s best reality! Selling or buying, these are the people to use. In our case, we sold our home. Madelaine and her team were caring and helpful with attention to detail from the beginning to the end, and after the sale. These folks are professionals with a life long knowledge of the market and the RealEstate business.
Fantastic experience: Madeleine just sold me a home. She is very professional and has a lot of experience as a matter of fact this is the third home she has sold me.
It's always a pleasure working with you, Destiny!
Fantastic experience: Third generation family brokerage, the best go to for the Hi-desert and now Palm Springs!!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I purchased a home just before Christmas of 2024. Tom Murtagh was our agent. He is knowledgeable, attentive, professional, and courteous. The process was a breeze from start to finish. He kept in constant contact providing updates and offering assistance where needed. He made solid recommendations throughout the process and gave us honest feedback. Never once did we feel pressured or hurried. It so happened that Cherie Miller & Assoc represented the seller in our transaction as well. The listing agent was Paul Karr. He was at the property during the inspection and he was also a pleasure to deal with. He was very friendly and it was evident his knowledge of real estate was extensive. A+ transaction all around!
Fantastic experience: Cherie Miller and Associates has always been very helpful and their staff is always willing to answer real estate questions even without an appointment. The agents there are very knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate market. I highly recommend you check them out whether you are buying or selling a home.
Fantastic experience: Cherie Miller& Associates. Yucca Valley CA The ultimate Professional Team. Madeline, Lynee & Chad worked with me on a recent transaction of selling a home in Joshua Tree. They took exceptional care of every detail, each item was addressed immediately with excellent communication & follow through. True seasoned Professionals! Thank you for making (what could have been an extremely difficult situation) into a smooth experience & successful close in a timely manner. Kindest Regards, L. R. LaRosa
We loved working with you! It was an absolute pleasure! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Samantha was the broker associate who helped me with the purchase of my home. She so sharp. She is so attentive and honestly, I'm not sure when she takes time off. We have worked together Sundays and into the evening when necessary. She got us everything we asked for. I am so grateful. I am a professional real estate investor and have worked with many agents. I give her 6 stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Negative experience: Was willfully blinded to the fact my mother has severe dementia. Knowingly misrepresented the current trust for a previous revoked trust and used my mother as trustee and proceeded to sell rental properties for half price without the trustee's knowledge as a dual agent to secure a double commission to benefit herself. Accomplishing this by withholding all legal documents from title company after promising appointed trustee she would deliver to title. Is this not criminal? Refusing my mother's doctor's determination of severe dementia on court transcript for a notary public opinion to collect a double commission. Thank you, Madelaine LaVoie
This review is left by someone who abused drugs and attacked his mother with a boulder. He physically threatened people at our office, and we had to call the police to remove him from our office.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for Recommending Eli at Dunkle Home Inspections one of the Best Home Inspectors I have ever dealt with very Honest guy I highly recommend Dunkle Home Inspections 🥹👍
Positive experience: I worked with Madelaine several years ago to sell my rental home. We got the sale done, and I truly appreciated her connections to local contractors and landscapers (both of whom were amazing). But Madeline herself was rude on several occasions and just made everything harder than it had to be!
Fantastic experience: Paul Karr is the best!
Fantastic experience: 👍
Fantastic experience: Paul Karr is a highly skilled real estate professional who consistently demonstrates an exceptional ability to build rapport with clients. His deep understanding of the local market dynamics empowers his clients to make informed decisions. Paul's expertise in guiding sellers through the sales process, ensuring they feel in control every step of the way, is truly commendable. His ability to navigate complex negotiations with finesse and achieve favorable outcomes for his clients sets him apart! We would 10/10 recommend working with Paul!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful.
Negative experience: Don't recommend these folks. Avoid.
Good morning, Marisol! We believe you have the wrong company! We are Cherie Miller and Associates, and we work primarily in the desert communities of the Morongo Basin and Coachella Valley, as well as Big Bear. We have attempted to contact you previously on another negative review, but believe you are attempting to reach another company. We are based primarily in the desert. Please call our office and we're happy to speak with you to make sure you're speaking with the correct company 760-369-1800. Please ask to speak with the broker or her assistant and we're happy to help as we do believe you have the wrong brokerage.
Fantastic experience: Cherie Miller & Associates have been my parents realtors for years. They recently helped us sell the last of their homes in Joshua Tree. Exceptional work by the team as always. Extra thanks to Madeline, Chynna and Chad for all the hard work. Much appreciated. Bill has always had wonderful things to say about this team. Thank you from my father and from us.
Thank you so much! It is always such a pleasure to work with all of you!
Fantastic experience: Madelaine did an incredible job of helping with the purchase of my home in Yucca Valley. She knows legitimately everything about the area, which neighborhoods are best, and advice for all types of purchases (rental, second home, primary residence, etc). She also was extremely accommodating, always willing to meet to show me a house, even on weekends! Her communication and candor is next to none, there was never an issue chatting with Madelaine which was extremely important to me especially in the final stages of closing. Would recommend Madelaine 10/10 times!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and courteous office. Mike has a lot of experience in our mobile park, gets the job done in style.
Negative experience: Unprofessional.
Hi, we are happy to help if you've had an issue. We just saw this review and wanted to reach out.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Madelaine and her staff are the best. They are very efficient, patient and explain everything thoroughly. If anyone has a need to buy or sell, I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Madelaine and Chad were really great to work with. Nothing but positive energy, friendly and great communication. Always prompt with responses and informed us of any and all possibilities in purchasing this house in probate. I couldn't be happier and will definitely work them again.
Negative experience: Cherie Miller and her employee Madelaine Lavoie have two listings on loopnet in joshua tree and twenty nine palms. They never returned our inquires to purchase. The joshua tree property is in escrow, yet Cherie will not reply and take back up offers. You are supposed to do everything you can for a seller/client. And the twenty nine palms property no reply. Three people on that listing including the owne Cherie Miller, and not one reply. Avoid as a seller and buyer.
I apologize if no one got back to you. Your inquiry may not have gone to the correct party. Did you contact Madelaine or our office directly by phone, or direct business email? We're always happy to respond to inquiries, as quickly as we are able.
Please let us know if there is any further assistance you need.
Fantastic experience: This place gets a A+++ for service. My story is complicated but they stilled attempted to help. Amazing, should I end up staying in the area they have my business.
Fantastic experience: Madelaine seems to be some sort of magician who, despite having numerous clients during a supremely busy summer, made me and my husband feel like we were her top priority. She was always able to show us houses at whatever time we requested, and allowed us first-time home buyers to take our sweet time and re-evaluate our priorities time and time again. After about a month of looking at places she manifested the world's cutest house right in our price point, and the entire process went super smooth - even helping us out with some landscaping issues the sellers left that we didn't notice until after we closed. Her assistant Chadwick is a professional and efficient delight. I feel super lucky to have had them on our side.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the local real estate market.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely trust and love them. Incredibly professional, knowledgeable and caring. Paul Carr helped me purchase my home in 2015. I couldn't be happier. He also helped my Mom to purchase her home the following year. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Just closed escrow on a very shaky deal. Our duplex was in default, just short of being taken by the bank. Kathy Geogea, our agent, took this deal, knowing that the odds were greatly stacked against us. She found a buyer in the first week, and worked her touche off to make it all happen, and IT DID! The bank was happy, we are extremely happy, and mostly, we are extremely grateful we had Kathy and Cherie Miller & Assocs' in our corner; thank you, Kathy. You worked extremely hard, you are honest, and so very dedicated.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful people.
Positive experience: There good people
Fantastic experience: Best Realtors in the Morongo Basin!!
Fantastic experience: awesome group of realtors! always happy to help me when i come in.
Negative experience: Madelaine was an hour late for our introductory meeting. She did not apologize & acted like I was rude when I called her on it but, still, I was willing to consider her. Then she quoted me a suggested selling price based on her "vast" experience and what she said was the "best comp." Her "best comp" was a house 22 years older, 800 feet smaller - totally different! I had done a lot of research on my area and felt her suggested sale price was super low. Having been told that it's wise to interview at least 3 realtors - I did - and the other two valued my house much higher. Thank goodness that I went with one of them instead of Madelaine. My house sold in just over 60 days and even after lowering my price including through negotiations, I walked away with $95,000 more in my pocket than what Madelaine told me to sell for! Sure maybe at her low-ball price my house would have sold in a couple weeks instead of a couple months but $95,000 was well worth my wait. Be advised!
Negative experience: This has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I am a first time home buyer and was very excited when I got my pre approval letter to buy a house. I called Cherie Miller. I first spoke to an agent named Sandy. He was so negative and unhelpful at the end of our phone call, I called back and spoke to Chad. Chad was very sweet and apologized to me about my experience. He told me that this great agent named Paul was going to call me and help me with positivity and effort. Paul called me once and glad-handed me like a used car salesman. He said he would call back and never did. So I called and asked for the broker to call me. I was told this was a woman named Madeline. I called and left a message with a nice lady named Sandy. I never got a call back from Madeline either. I called back today June 25, 2018 and was finally able to speak with Madeline about my experience with her company. Madeline was very cold and terse from the get go of this phone call. She was very rude, disrespectful and a bully. She told me that I didn't have enough money to spend and wanted too much in the way of a house. She attempted to repeat the things I was looking for and did not have them correct. She made me feel like I was an extreme bother and not worth a second of her time. I never once raised my voice and was civil during this short conversation. She barked at me on the phone telling me that she is busy and doesn't have time to "Deal" with me because she had a death in her family. All due respect, take time off then if it is effecting you that much. We all have problems. You are at work to work, not to demean people you don't even know. Your attempt to quash my excitement at being a first time home owner has failed. Much like you have in your part of being a real estate broker/agent. You fall completely short of decorum and humility. This woman scolded and tore me apart on the phone going off of half truths and hearsay from people working for her. She told me that she was going to believe everything her agents told her and that was it. She further told me that she purposely didn't call me back because I didn't have enough money for her to help me. HMMMMMMMMMMM DESCRIMINTATION at its finest. She told me she didn't appreciate me calling her upset at the way I was treated. It seemed she condones the way I was treated based on her actions and the implication. BEWARE OF CHERIE MILLER AND ASSOCIATES. THEY ARE THE WORST EXAMPLE OF A REAL ESTATE COMPANY ON THE PLANET!!
Fantastic experience: Jesse Carrol is a great agent and answers questions quickly! He is on it! You still my boy Jesse!
Negative experience: I was not happy.
Fantastic experience: Thank You Sandy Boldt for helping me buy my home in 29 Palms. When others couldn't, you found a way to to get me into my home.
