The Ciment and Shields Team

Experiencia fantástica: We had a very positive experience working with The Ciment and Shields Team throughout the renovation, marketing, and sale of our property. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. They handled the renovation process with great attention to detail and did an excellent job transforming the property and preparing it for the market. The improvements made a significant difference in the overall appearance and appeal of the home. They also handled the property's marketing very well. The home was presented beautifully, and their efforts helped showcase the property’s features and attract potential buyers. We appreciated their communication throughout the process and felt that they worked hard to make the sale as smooth as possible. We would definitely recommend The Ciment and Shields Team to anyone looking for a company to help with renovating, marketing, and selling a property. They provided excellent service throughout the entire process, and we are very pleased with the results.

Experiencia fantástica: I recommend Bracha "Brooke" Charner without reservation. She was so knowledgeable, patient and informative as we did our home search from Southern California. Brooke answered every email and WhatsApp message on our PST timetable. It was super clear that she listened to us and was invested in us getting a home that was right for us rather than just making a sell. Brooke got us into so many homes not yet on the market and you could tell she has good relationships and rapport with many agents and people in the community. She also came in clutch with vendor recommendations for home improvements even before we made an offer and then after the sell. Brooke will take care of you. She was my agent, but now she's my friend.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Bracha/Brooke was an absolute pleasure. She combines deep real estate knowledge and strong business acumen with great instincts and a sensitive personal touch. She is always looking for the easiest and most straightforward way to solve any issues/challenges/obstacles encountered. She always delivers what she promised and never disappoints. She makes the process of selling a home much easier, and the reduced "headache" is a welcome and refreshing break. I would recommend Bracha/Brooke to anyone looking to buy or sell a property - one of the best agents I've worked with!

Experiencia fantástica: Judi Shields did an excellent job as my real estate agent, carefully explaining the process, identifying options and connecting to a buyer with a sale structure that fit my needs perfectly. She had a deep understanding of the local market conditions, and was careful to position the sale for the maximum possible benefit.Very supportive, but willing to be candid as needed to ensure the process moved to a swift and mutually satisfying conclusion for all parties. I would give the highest recommendation.

Experiencia fantástica: Brooke Charner did an amazing job with us! This was our first home purchase and she walked us through every step of the way. She made us feel comfortable and helped us put our strongest offer together. She was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Can't say enough good things about Brooke Charner! You want her on your team, for so many reasons: Her deep knowledge of the real estate market; her superior listening skills; her exquisite attention to detail; her total commitment to helping her clients get the house they will love. Brooke did all this for us and more. We enjoyed every moment of our work together. She is a rare and wonderful gem.

Experiencia fantástica: As first time homeowners, the whole process was new to us, and we really knew nothing. Judi Shields was so patient with us every step of the way.

Highly recommended working with Judi.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Bracha Brooke Charner while looking for an agent who would have patience to explain everything. She walked me through each clause in the contract, pros/cons of each decision, and used her experience to help guide us. I would definitely recommend Bracha Brooke Charner if you want someone who’s going to explain, communicate, and hold your hand every step of the way.

Experiencia fantástica: We have known of the outstanding reputation of the Ciment & Sheilds team for years. When we made the decision to downsize, we contacted them. Judi worked with us from beginning to end. She helped us set up a time line of what to do and when. She assured us that she would take care of anything we could not take with us or dispose of otherwise. These actions alone removed much of the stress associated with a major lifestyle change after 30+ years in our home. Judi and her team are extremely familiar with the Kemp Mill real estate scene. She knew exactly how to market and present our home for sale, from pricing to staging. She was always available to answer questions, provide advice and “hand-hold” when necessary. When our home was listed for sale, we quickly had several offers from qualified buyers, all above asking price. Judi walked us through contract negotiations and closing. She made it all painless. Judi is a professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and personable realtor. We cannot recommend her and the Ciment & Sheilds team high enough. Nancy Weisberger

Experiencia fantástica: Judith was terrific! She organized a comprehensive discussion about our interests and requirements and resources before showing us any properties. Her suggestions about how we might transition into a new home were insightful. Judi researched all of our questions and offered accurate assessments about the properties we visited. After our purchase she remained involved with us becoming an invaluable reference for community resources that included her gift of a consultation with a local designer. We would ask her to represent us again in the future as buyers or sellers.

Experiencia fantástica: great experience with tamar hammer

Experiencia fantástica: We had a wonderful experience working with Tamar. She was so proactive in getting us to see houses. She helped us find the perfect house and then worked tirelessly to help us with the closing process, answering all of our questions quickly, thoroughly, and thoughtfully. Anyone looking to buy in the area should definitely work with Tamar and the team!

Experiencia fantástica: Great team and realty group. We had a fantastic experience working with Tamar Hammer. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interests at heart. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Judi Shields and her team are superb and dedicated professionals. They focused on the needs of our family while providing honest and insightful feedback on how best to prepare our house for market, which was under contract within a week and 72 hours following the (only) open house, above our asking price. Judi is skilled negotiator with deep ties to the Montgomery County real estate market. But more than that she was the only realtor of those we interviewed who seemed genuinely concerned about our family, which was simultaneously moving from the continental US. Smart, easy to work with and highly effective. A terrific experience with the Ciment and Shields Team.

Experiencia fantástica: We were downsizing to move out of town. We had been in our house 20+ years. Judi met with us, had a clear plan on pricing, strategy, marketing (she has a whole team she called into service), and exit strategies for us to get out of the house. She did everything she told us she would do--and more. She made it incredibly easy to do the downsize, had the house sold in a week to highly qualified buyers. The sale closed in about month. Can't say enough good things about her. She's a lovely person, attentive and easy to deal with. Thanks Judi!

Experiencia fantástica: Brooke Charner was amazing. Initially, when we decided to sell our house we thought that we would sell it ourselves to save the cost of an agent since we had a large house and were in a desirable location. That would have been a terrible mistake. Brooke’s efforts enabled us to sell beyond our asking price. She was responsive and always available. Her experience in real estate was very evident in the advice she provided. Brooke had a methodical and professional approach from the outset. Of particular note is the crew that she has assembled who prepare the house for sale, including cleaning, repair and staging. A pleasure to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Bracha consistently went above and beyond to support our sale, even though it went a little longer than expected. I was very impressed by her dedication and ability to help us negotiate and find the right balance of assertiveness and realism.

Experiencia fantástica: Judi Shields represented me and my husband in the recent sale of our house. She was a pleasure to work with. She gave us excellent guidance and advice and was available whenever we needed to reach her. Judi really is a full service real estate agent which was important to us since we were not local when our house was on the market. Judi solved any issue that arose or questions we had graciously and quickly. We highly recommend her and had a totally positive experience working with her.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a wonderful experience with Judi Shields. I didn't know the first thing about selling my house and she was patient with me every step of the way. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable and she was a joy to work with. She took care of everything and I couldn't have done it without her! I am very grateful to her for making my house selling experience such a resounding success.

Experiencia fantástica: Tamar Hammer was an excellent agent and resource for us as first-time home buyers. She was always available to answer questions over the phone or through emails and messages. She handled so many arrangements, repairs, and updates to make sure our home was ready for us to move in. We greatly appreciate her partnership in this process, and would strongly recommend Tamar’s services to others who are looking to purchase a home in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Judi and her team were absolutely incredible to work with. Having moved into town with little knowledge of the area, Judi utilized her professional expertise to inform us and help us, to ensure we ended up in the right place at the right time. Judi went above and beyond to provide a white glove service, while being patient, extraordinarily friendly, and kind. Having stumbled across Judi while browsing Zillow before moving to the area was the best thing that could've happened. Judi defines professionalism as a realtor and focuses on the client experience from start to finish. Not only has Judi been an excellent Realtor, but has taken the time to share local insights to ensure we were able to settle easily. A+++ Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: As a fellow realtor, working with Brooke was an absolute pleasure! She exemplifies professionalism, transparency, and effective communication, making even the most complex transactions feel manageable.

Despite the challenges of this transaction, Brooke’s flexibility and unwavering commitment to her clients shined through. She went above and beyond to ensure her clients understood every detail, creating a smooth and stress-free process from start to finish. Brooke’s genuine care for her clients and her respect for her peers set her apart. Her ability to work collaboratively and her attention to detail reflect her passion and expertise in real estate.

Experiencia fantástica: We can not speak highly enough about our experience working with Bracha (Brooke) Charner. She makes you feel like you're her only client, willing to hop on the phone with you at a moments notice for a quick question or a long discussion to set your nerves at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable about the homes in the area and in crafting a competitive bid. As first time buyers in the neighborhood, we needed someone who was both an expert and an advocate, and we are so grateful for having found both in Bracha.

Experiencia fantástica: Celebrating an amazing experience with Buyers’ Agent Judi Shields! In my seventeen years as a real estate agent, I have never experienced a more responsive, perceptive and cooperative agent, who worked with me very diligently to help make a successful transaction, since the seller & buyers were extremely busy and very difficult to coordinate. I would work with Judi seven days a week! She deserves a 10!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently worked with Judi Shields. She was representing the buyers on a home I had listed for sale. Judi was a true professional throughout the transaction. Her expertise, patience, and professionalism made the experience seamless. Judi was a pleasure to work with. Lindsay Clark

Experiencia fantástica: Judi Shields was our realtor and was the absolute best. Our process took a long time (about 11 months from first meeting Judi to finding a home we closed on) and at every turn Judi was honest, open, and diligent. To say nothing of the immense amount of time she was willing to spend with us. I could not recommend anyone more than Judi and her team.

Experiencia fantástica: Judi was so helpful from start to close! She explained the process, helped us prepare our home for showing, and responded in a timely fashion whenever we reached out. With her support, we were able to sell with confidence. We are so grateful.

Their knowledge of the Leisure World market is top-notch. I would highly recommend using the Ciment Team to buy and/or sell a property in Leisure World.

Experiencia fantástica: Barbara Ciment was her usual professional, persistent and pleasant self.

We can say this even as the buyers when Judi represented the sellers! She even kept in touch and gave us great interior decorating advice as well as recommended a neighborhood interior decorator who we actually hired as well! Two plus thumbs up! Jill and Dell

Experiencia fantástica: From start to finish Barbara was not only helpful, she was essential and outstanding. From preparing our home to showing it, and then to moving, her guidance and referrals were indispensable and explain how and why our home sold within 4 days for $37,500 above our asking price. Barbara is expert at buying and selling homes ... Having bought and now sold real estate with her assistance, I would not work with anyone other than Barbara Ciment. To those thinking of sell their home without a broker: short of someone coming off the street offering you your dream price - you will need a broker like Barbara with all the professional expertise, networks and connections that are required to have the experience we had selling our home.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a highly experienced realtor who gets things done. I was a buyer in a transaction where she represented the seller. She was very fair, honest and open dealing with us. Besides all this, I found her to be sincerely friendly and helpful.
