Cheryl Benjamin

Cheryl helps buyers and sellers across the Phoenix area make confident decisions about one of the biggest financial moves of their lives. After more than 20 years in this market, her approach is consistent on every transaction: honest information, real expertise, and the kind of service that makes the whole process feel manageable.

About Cheryl

A real estate advisor who treats your move like the major life decision it actually is.

Cheryl Benjamin leads the Loving Phoenix Team at Real Broker, based out of Glendale and serving buyers and sellers across the Phoenix metro. She has been a full-time, licensed Realtor for over 20 years, and she has spent that time learning this market the way you can only learn it by working in it every day.

Originally from Michigan, Cheryl has called Arizona home since 2002. Living and working in the Valley for more than two decades has given her a feel for these communities that goes well beyond the data. She knows which neighborhoods get afternoon shade, which 55+ communities have the social scene people are actually looking for, and where the new construction is worth the wait. That perspective matters when you're trying to figure out where you actually want to live.

"My job is to help you see both the positives and the potential concerns in a home, so you can make a confident decision."

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people ever make, and Cheryl does not approach it like a transaction. Her clients get straight answers, sound advice based on real facts, and someone who returns their calls. That is the standard she holds herself to on every deal, whether it is a first-time buyer, a relocation, or a longtime homeowner planning their next chapter.

Cheryl works with relocation buyers moving to the Valley, active adult and 55+ buyers exploring lifestyle communities, move-up buyers, downsizers, families looking at multigenerational and Next Gen homes, and horse property buyers. Every one of those situations has its own considerations, and the right approach looks different in each. The throughline is the same: clients should feel informed, never pressured.

Cheryl is an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), a Certified Negotiating Expert (CNE), and a Military Relocation Professional (MRP). She is also REO Certified and a member of the Arizona Association of Realtors, the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service, and the National Association of Realtors. The credentials matter, but the work matters more. When you hire Cheryl, you get someone who shows up, tells the truth, and treats your move with the care it deserves.

Who I Work With

Every move has its own considerations. Here's where I bring the most value.

Relocation Buyers

Moving to the Valley from out of state and trying to figure out where to land. I'll help you understand the cities, neighborhoods, and tradeoffs before you ever set foot here.

Active Adult & 55+

From Sun City and Sun City West to newer communities like Trilogy and Victory at Verrado, I know what each one offers and which ones fit different lifestyles. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), I focus on the financial and timing considerations specific to this stage of life.

Move-Up Buyers

Outgrowing your current home and ready for the next one. We'll plan the timing, the financing strategy, and the sale-and-buy logistics together.

Downsizers

Planning a simpler next chapter. I'll help you sort through what to keep, what to sell, and which communities make daily life easier.

Multigenerational & Next Gen

Homes designed for two generations under one roof. Lennar's Next Gen floor plans and similar layouts have specific things to look for, and I can walk you through them.

Horse Property Buyers

Acreage, zoning, water rights, barns, and arenas. Horse property has its own checklist, and I'll make sure nothing important gets missed.

Military Relocation

As a Military Relocation Professional, I know the timelines, paperwork, and stress that come with PCS moves and how to make them go smoothly.

New Construction

Builder contracts are not the same as resale contracts. Having someone on your side during the upgrade meetings, walkthroughs, and closing protects your investment.

Sellers

Pricing, prep, marketing, negotiation. I'll tell you what your home is realistically worth and what it will take to get top dollar without wasting your time.
