Spotlight Since 2013, Shigemi “Sherry” Cree has rappelled down Denver skyscrapers to raise funds for Cancer League of Colorado. Her fearlessness in combination with her passion to serve communities has led her to volunteering for many nonprofit organizations and community activities.
Connecting people and volunteering come naturally to Realtor Sherry Cree Professionally, Cree is a broker/owner of Ascendant Real Estate. She has been a licensed real estate broker in Colorado since 2008 with prior real estate investment experience. Cree is a repeat recipient of 5280 Magazine Five Star Professional Award (2013 - 2019). She takes special pride in this recognition because it is based on a third-party survey from actual buyers and sellers who evaluated their agents for their competence and service after their transactions. Cree says: “It means I helped my clients achieve their success by providing quality representation, guidance and white glove services.” She dedicates herself to “making it happen” for her clients and “always representing her clients’ best interest.” Residential real estate transactions typically involve people going through their major life transitions. Cree finds it to be the most rewarding experience to be trusted and to deliver desired outcomes for her clients as their agent; “I found my calling. I feel very fortunate to be able to say that I LOVE MY JOB!” Based on her strong belief that reputation is everything, Cree continues to build her business through earning trust and respect from everyone who crosses path with her. Cree is a native of Japan, graduated from Sophia University in Tokyo with a B.A. in Law with an emphasis in International Legal Studies and moved to the United States in 1996 upon marriage with her husband in the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan. She has lived in Colorado since 1999 after living in the Bay Area for two years and in Washington D.C. for a year. Her 22-year-old son currently serves in the U.S. Army.
