Sherri went above and beyond with our home buying process. We were out of state buyers and that didn't stop Sherri from sending us detailed videos and very informative about distinctions such as the condition of appliances and any distinctive smells or odors. This was big for us and she worked very hard and at times late hours 7 days a week!! We could not have had a better Agent!! I would not recommend anyone else! The highest level of professionalism guaranteed!! We didn't just have an Agent. We gained a true friend!

We worked directly with Nisha who was extremely professional, efficient, and generous with her time and insights. We highly recommend!!

Sherri Sembly is an exemplary real estate agent. She worked patiently with us to find just the right home. She is knowledgeable about the real estate market and the area's neighborhoods. We never felt pressured by Sherri to accept less than what was the right home and location for us. Even though it took a while to find our house, the location is absolutely perfect and I am certain we will soon feel right at home. I 100% recommend Sherri Sembly and NextHome Forward as an agent and company!!

I had the best experience working with Nisha Smithrick and NextHome Forward for my new townhouse purchase. Nisha was on top of everything - she answered my emails and questions in a timely manner. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as I was not familiar with the area. I also asked for a quick turn - she helped me locate a place that met all of my needs and settled within less than 45 days - amazing! Her service is top notch and I will be recommending all that I know with real estate needs to her and NextHome Forward. #Class Act!!!

Sherri Sembly was AMAZING with me and my home selling venture! I had SO many questions throughout the process and Sherri was always there to ease my mind and answer me. We went from coming soon status to under contract the same day without even being listed officially! She made sure the buyers agent was in the loop on everything and any questions they had she communicated to me with explanations and options. I cannot wait to go through Sherri & NextHome Forward in the near future for my buying experience.. If you want a knowledgeable, go-getter, who will have your best interest in mind - Sherri is your lady!
Thank you again Sherri!

You will never find a finer, more dedicated, more patient and ever-engaged team than this one.

The levels of advocacy they bring to their clients is a rarity. I cannot thank them enough.

Nisha Smithrick and Sherri Sembly are incredible. I was nervous and inexperienced in the home buying process. They made this a great experience. I appreciate that were patient and informative. I love Nisha’s bubbly attitude. I’ll be a client for life. I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with these life changing decisions.

Sherri was a dream to work with. She went above and beyond in every way. From providing great photos, detailed home description, and a very well done virtual tour of our home to sell, to calming our nerves, and keeping our best interests in mind from before we went to market to settlement day. She got us full ask in four days on the market. And she caught a mistake at settlement that saved us several hundred dollars. We really appreciated Sherri expertise, kindness, and reliability. We fully recommend her.

I would highly recommend Nisha as a realtor. She pays attention to the details you are looking for, and even moreso about your purpose and motivation. She cares about the reason you are looking for certain things and centers that in the search. Throughout the experience she made herself available whenever needed and the time spent with her always felt like I was house hunting with a great friend.

I worked with Sherri and she did an amazing job. I was selling my childhood home after my father passed away. To complicate things I was also living almost 2000 miles away for this home. Sherri helped me even before I officially met her. I would recommend her and her firm anytime. She made the whole process less painful and actually easy.

Nisha is excellent as a Realtor. She is always available to answer questions and that was especially helpful for me as I was a first time home buyer with VA homebuyer assistance. Her team of experts were amazing and patient with me as I had a lot of question involving the process and even with the past year of ownership. She is very intuitive of your wants and needs when looking for your home and sticks with you through the whole process. I am grateful for all her help and could never have done it without her.

Nisha is absolutely fantastic. I anticipated having trouble selling my condo, but thanks to Nisha's hard work, preparation, and thoroughness not only did I have multiple offers within 4 days of being on the market, but they all came in above the asking price. Nisha took time to understand my situation, answered all my questions, and made the process so easy for me. She is also a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to work with. I give her my highest recommendation.
"
- Dallas Reed

Nisha did a fine job representing my property. A close acquaintance ended up submitting an offer before the property went to market; nevertheless, Nisha facilitated a swift, smooth process leading up to closing, all the while providing valuable advice during a tricky negotiation process. I would definitely recommend Nisha's services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We would absolutely recommend Sherri and Nisha to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. My husband and I met with and tried three realtors before we met Sherri. Often they were not responsive or unwilling to work with our schedule. We knew immediately that Sherri was a great fit for us and she helped us to sell our house within one weekend. She got us a great deal over asking and with wonderful terms to work for us! The photos of our house looked incredible and definitely helped to sell it quickly. She was very responsive and always available for us and our questions.

We had the distinct please if working with Nisha Smithrick in purchasing our new home in clarksburg, Maryland. Nisha’s expertise, attention to detail and always being available made this a very smooth process. We got the house that we desired within our purchase range. This was particularly impressive given that we are relocating from California to Maryland and so Nisha had to manage a time difference as well. She provided great advice and understood exactly what we were looking for in a home. I highly recommend her services.

Nisha Smithrick goes up and beyond for her clients. We know because she helped us find a gorgeous home!
My husband and I were referred to her by a company called Agent Pronto. We instantly connected when we met her on our first meeting just before the holidays of 2022. She helped us every step of the way. She responded to our questions or concerns in a timely manner. And because of Nisha, we truly enjoyed our journey in finding our home!
We just closed on it on March 22, 2023.
We will gladly recommend her to our friends, family and co-workers!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sherri Sembly and her team. They were responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout our entire home selling process.
Sherri's warm and caring personality made us feel like family as opposed to just clients. Moreover, she greatly exceeded our expectations with her exceptional service and marketing skills! Our home was under contract in less than a week and it sold for more than the asking price. We highly recommend Sherri Sembly and her team at NextHome Forward to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Nisha and her team are absolutely top notch. I have had several agents in the past with other home purchases and no one even comes close to her professionalism and knowledge of the market. I was connected with Nisha when I was looking to relocate to the Baltimore area from the Midwest. She and her team were wonderful with communication and follow-up throughout my journey to relocate. I had to travel to Baltimore a few times to view properties and Nisha listened to what I wanted so we made the best use of the time looking at homes that fit my specific needs. I couldn’t have imagined I would have such a trusted partner in an agent who was there with me every step of the way with incredible patience and guidance. Her team was on top of making sure I had all of the required electronic documents, helped with inspection company recommendations and Nisha even met the inspector at the property and looped me in on FaceTime when I couldn't make it in town. I now have a fabulous place overlooking the Harbor - exactly what I wanted. I cannot recommend Nisha and her team highly enough!

I wish to thank the NextHome group for their professionalism in selling and purchasing homes. They work hard and leave nothing covered. If there is a problem, they will find a solution. I have found that when you have to sell and purchase a home at the same time, it is not an easy task. But with Sherri Sembly and Nisha Smithrick on your side all things are possible. You will always be in good hands with NextHome. I recommend you try them for either selling or just purchasing your next home, you will not be sorry.

We worked with Sherri over the last year in order to sell our property. She answers all questions and always gets right back to you with any information.

Nisha is absolutely wonderful!!! Nisha walked us through the selling of our old home and the purchasing of our new home. What seemed like it would be a super stressful experience, Nisha helped every step of the way getting us multiple offers and a contract in just 2 weeks. If that wasn't impressive enough, Our "potential" new house already had 5 offers on it and we became the 6th offer. We not only secured the house but most of our demands as the buyers were met from the sellers. I would recommend Nisha to all my friends and family!

Yet another tremendous experience with Sherri! Its been a whirlwind of a few years she was here to help me by a small townhouse just 3 years ago and as my needs changed she was there helping along the way. Everything from handyman advice to securing the a new larger more real "HOME" The team at NextHome always but the customers needs first and Both Sherri and Nisha could not be better people or partners in taking the next steps in your life

Sherri was great when it came to buying our new home and selling our old one. On the buying side, she was very helpful and patient when we were searching in different cities which were far apart. When we finally found our home, she was efficient and timely with meeting all of our key dates. During closing, she brought activities for our small kids, and played with them while we signed documents. On the selling side, she helped us overcome a variety of issues while staying positive the whole time until the house was sold. Overall, Sherri was a joy to work with. She constantly fought to get us the best deals. She cared about us finding the right home and treated my family like her own in the process.

I am a first-time home seller who had the opportunity to work with Nisha when selling my home. I was very nervous, emotional and apprehensive about the whole process, but Nisha was there with me every step of the way. She helped to allay my fears and was available to me whenever I needed her advice and direction. Never did she treat me as if I was just another client. During the entire time that I had the privilege of working with her, I truly felt like I was her only client. Her quality customer service and attention to the little details that can make selling a home successful is above par. Nisha is the consummate professional and I highly recommend her as your next realtor.

Nisha was great! My house buying goals changed many times along the way but Nisha was always able to provide great insight and help me strategize my next move. She goes above and beyond to help you accomplish your housing goals; whether it's buying a rental property or finding your dream home. If Nisha was not able to help, her transaction coordinator, Kim, would step in and Kim is amazing too! She's the one that's in the picture with me. I'll be using Nisha as my real estate agent any time I'm searching for a house!
