Cherie's talk was riveting to say the least, upbeat and resonated with me at many levels. Any company that is forward thinking must have her talk to all its managers and leaders.

I was working at an estate agency in Pretoria after having lost my work in the Cape. I was going no where with this agency. I attended one of Cherie's seminars in the Menlyn Mall and right there I realised I was in the wrong place. I resigned imeediately and did not even go back to the old agency. Pam Golding invited me to join them and I have not looked back! Cherie has such a lively personality! What I enjoyed MOST about her seminars was the christian approach to it. Gospel music playing before and after. And this is where she will find her continued Strength - in Jesus and HIs unconditional love for her! She is well loved by all us thousands of agents! Trust she will get better and feel beter soon. She is a real gem! Much love to her!

Cherie has indeed touched my life in more ways than one.
She has been an inspiration to me.
Her vigour for life, her personality, her belief in God & being a Christian, her dedication to what ever she does, her knowledge - the research she does before she presents anything, her expertise, her passion & dedication for the real estate industry & the agents has not yet been matched, not too mention her speeches as you've mentioned are indeed well researched, captivating & moreover informative & have taught me much.

Cherie, I met you in 1995 at a CAPM course and you changed my life in real estate. You introduce me to proper training and skills I never heard of in the 4 years I’ve been in Real Estate then. You were ,my role model and every word, lesson or advice given by you I have implemented and it worked. I was a top agent for many years thanks to you. Thank you for stepping into my life and my career, I get so many positive feedback from clients and fellow agents about the way I am working that’s so different from the norm and I can only thank you for this. You have touch so many agents during your career and it will be a sad day when you are leaving the industry for good.
I miss you my friend!

Hi Cherie, We are missing you down here in Cape Town. We need some of your GOOD spirit and motivation!!! When are you coming to visit us? The market is still battling, but you know what I just keep at it and write offers with delayed transfers so that the buyers have more time to save a bigger deposit or try to allow the owners who are not desperate to sell, allow the purchasers to rent for a year or two with delayed transfer. I am a Platinum like you!!! Hulle se 'n Boer maak 'n plan maar ek is ½ jood en ek maak 'n plan!! Was hoping to retire now at 60 so have put it off to 70! God is Good!!!
Love - Linda Weber (ouma)
Dearest Cherie,
Missing you my friend. Sending you this card with a few of many of the memories we have shared over the years. Met you at a CRS Celebration for the first time in 1992. You were on the "Star" panel and you were an inspiration to me then and you still are. Nobody in South Africa has ever impacted the real estate industry like you. You are an encourager and motivator of note. May the Lord be with you during the tough times and never forget that He will turn all things into good for those who love him and are called according to his purposes. We love and miss you.

Good Day, What a beautiful sunny day it is here in Durban. We really do miss her enthusiastic, intelligent and glamorous spirit. I first got involved with Cherie way back about 1993/94 and did the CAPM course then. I think she was ahead of her time, and all that have followed!
I have her tapes (not CD’s) and until I changed my car, (with CD player) listened to them regularly.
Recently she held a couple of Presentations at the Durban Country Club which I attended and found very interesting. I trust Cherie and her Team are all well and hope to see her again soon.

Cherie did amazing things in my life as an Agent. I have learnt a tremendous lot from her motivation speeches, not even being an Agent and practice what she spoke about (it really works) but in my personal life at home as well. I really have changed in my thinking and doings. I feel all her visits have been beneficial and I can and have put it in practice. Even her 2 books I have, wow, that was super. Thanks for sharing, and God bless.

Hi Cherie, Just wanted to let you know that I admire and respect you tremendously! I don’t know how you always manage to stay “on top” of everything, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your example and I have learnt so much from you in every training session I attended!
Thank you and may you go from strength to strength!

Cherie, is nie net goed met haar agente nie, Cherie het my lewe so verander van die dag ek vir haar begin werk het...sy is so verstaanbaar en gee regtig om vir haar mede mense. Ek werk net vir haar, en as enige iets verkeerd gaan met my familie, is sy regtig die eerste een om da te wees. Deur Cherie se help sit ek vandag met n huis op my naam. Cherie is waarlik n baie groot inspirasie vir enige persoon wat in kontak kom met haar!!!! Baie regverdig met alles wat sy in haar lewe doen of aanpak!!!

Cheri .....What a joy to listen to her talks there has never been a time in my 19 years of Real Estate (even though I have'nt felt like it sometimes) but have gone to one of her marketing/motivational seminars have come back so enriched..... You are a blessing to our industry Cheri .... Believe it cause its so very true!
Iris Winterbottom
Cherie has been a great influence in my real estate life!! To the point that exactly half hour ago I was going to send you an email asking you to ask her what would be the best way to approach school, creches etc to do a marketing deal with them where they pass you clients and they get some kind of referral!! Cherie you always rocked and I will never forget the energy when you walk into a room!! Let alone when you start talking!!!
Bonita Do Couto
Cherie has made a huge impact in my life. I did not know if i wanted to go into the real estate, but after attending her sessions in Klerksdorp everything changed. She's got such a beautiful spirit. Keep up with your good work, the people really needs your encouraging talks!

“In 1963, Edward Lorenz made a presentation to the New York Academy of Sciences. His theory, called the Butterfly Effect, stated that a butterfly could flap its wings and set air molecules in motion that in turn would move other air molecules — eventually becoming able to influence weather patterns on the other side of the planet. For years this theory remained an interesting myth.” However, in the 1990’s this statement was proofed viable! The writer takes the reader on a journey – where a decision made by one person changed the lives of hundreds of people and even nations.
Cherie – Thank you for impacting our lives in ‘n similar manner! You would never know the Butterfly Effect you had on my life & I am sure countless other agents can testify to this, all creating our own butterfly effect. Thank you for your generosity in sharing not only valuable information but also touching our hearts. Even in my wildest dreams could I have imaged this possible. May you and your family be richly blessed, Ps 23. When I think of Cherie and all the training opportunities we have received so generously from her – it reminds me of the Butterfly Effect:Allow me to share the following from the book by Andy Andrews – The Butterfly Effect: “In the early 1960’s Edward Lorenz purposed: “A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air,
in turn moving more molecules of air – eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the world.” Now after years, this statement has proven viable!

Cherie hi you world class child of Almighty God! You are not only a legend you are a legacy – to both me, your kids, your staff and all those in the business communities that you have chosen to touch. Life is not about those who fall but is about those who get up and rise again – we all fall and indeed I have , but lets get a grip, take a moment to refocus and know that our gifts and talents are indeed our unique selling and differentiating factors and our networks may never be taken away.
Just as far as the east is from the west so to is the Love of God and His Son our Saviour Jesus Christ for each of us and for you in particular.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cherie Eilertsen for a number of years and have always found her to be a great source of wisdom, spiritual strength and a bundle of energy. She assisted me greatly in finding my feet as a graphic designer and expressed great patience in allowing me to make mistakes and rectify them. She always showed great compassion to her staff and provided a pleasurable environment to work in. She also instilled a spirit of entrepenurship in all her staff and nurtured them to reach any goal. In all my dealings with Cherie as a client, her business ethics have been above reproach and she has shared with me her immense insight and knowledge regarding the property industry. Cherie is bound to succeed wherever life takes her!
Marlene van der Colf
Thank you for the wonderful morning I was privileged enough to spend with you last Friday. As an ex teacher and public speaking coach, I was amazed at the fluency of your presentation and amount of knowledge in your presentation. I will definitely implement your new ideas. I am looking forward to your next road show!
Mariaan Otto
Your positive energy flowing training session was awesome! I have always used positive energy to create a platform from which my clients can’t sleep at night because of what they experienced in my presentation of my products. You do exactly the same.

Hi Cherie, thank you for a brilliant presentation at Klerksdorp last week. Your presentation was inspiring but so energized that I was out of breath (I’m the greying 21 year old guy – to be exact: 21 years and 423 months.). I think it’s the 423 months that are catching up with me. Your mother is an example to all of us. Rev. Redge Cordington’s mother sent e-mails to all her grand children all over the world at the age of 92. Yip, that’s the way to go, I suppose. I am creating a PROSUMER site that will address the hardware and software needs of ESTATE AGENTS. Keep your fingers crossed! Kind regards (and I’m looking forward to your “Dead men wear white collars” lecture..

Hi Cherie, Once again the BIGGEST,GRANDEST thank you for all you've done for all agents, most especially me. I SALUTE YOU!!! Just wanted you to know I am in the process of securing laptops, at a great price and needed to just make contact to discuss some. Important issues to conclude the deal. Supplier in Gauteng. My son and his girl were totally blown over at your last roadshow in Durbs!!! Xtra special regards to you and the team.
Dina Govender

Michael Gunn
I would just like to say thanks for another great motivational morning.
You talk my language with regards to technology and I cannot wait for Shaun to come to PE with the knowhow. Thanks for the advise, I started a fb market page about 3 weeks ago, you now encourage me to make more use out of it and I am trying to get my blog registered.... I think it is really scary to think what one should journal on there, but one step at a time.... will get us moving forward. I have registered with Seth Goddin blog as well. I am in a different market to the normal residential property and am seeking a different way to market smallholdings and farms, so it’s back to the drawing board.
Jacki Botha, Jacki Botha Properties
I just wanted to thank you for your very inspiring and uplifting talk today. Your talk has come at the right time for me. Glad to say, I have already signed onto twitter and created my own blog. Will find something profound to say and put on it soon. I'm sure I will find you on facebook as well.

Many thanks for this morning Cherie for providing an insightful, motivating & thoroughly enjoyable morning.

I will definitely recommend the next invitation to my friends & colleagues.

"It has been my honour & privilege to have known Cherie for the past 15 years. I have been in the Real Estate business since 1973, & in this time have never met anyone who even comes close to Cherie for her charisma, knowledge & total enthusiasm. What a lady, what an Icon."
Tony Precious
"Baie dankie Cherie, vir die groot verskil wat jy in die eiendoms bedruf maak en gemaak het, sedert 1992. (vandat ek jou ken). Jy is 'n FENOMINALE SPREKER!... EN MENS! Jy deel en gee graag nou jou kennis, sonder selfsug. JOU INSPIRASIE, MOTIVERING EN HOE JY JOU KOLLEGAS, BELEGGERS EN TOEHOORDERS INLIG, IS ONGEЁWENAARD! Ons dank die Here vir die wonderlike talente wat Hy jou gegee het. Gaan so voort!"
Daleen Cronje
"I have the pleasure of having known Cherie for many years & have always found it very inspiring to be in her presence. She is energy personified & her energy is most contagious. She has literally written the book on Real Estate & boasts an arsenal of proven training material which is always relevant as well as adaptable as the market evolves. She is a visionary who has the ability of identifying future market trends in advance. She is a gifted orator who has had loads of experience inspiring Real Estate Brokers, as well as Sales Executives from the financial services professions such as Insurance, Banking, etc. She is a specialist in advising & training on innovative campaigns in respect of property marketing locally, nationally as well as internationally & her methods get results. I will strongly recommend her to any individual &/or Agency wishing to elevate their career & organization to the next level."
Paul Retief - Durban
"I have no doubt that the various strategies initiated by Cherie during her consultancy contributed significantly to increased awareness of Nedcor & its products by estate agents, & had a direct impact on the growth of the mortgage book. The benefits of this initiative were not limited to the Bank, but the individual estate agent who attended Cherie’s training & motivational seminars & who implemented her ideas, experienced massive growth in their personal sales."
Mr. Bruce Swain - Nedcor National Manager: Estate Agencies
