Page 14 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • October 9, 2013 ����� in business Cheryl D’Elia joins RE/MAX Real Estate Associates C heryl D’Elia of RE/MAX Real Estate Associates always had a desire to be in real estate sales. With over 40 years in the corporate world, she is finally realizing her dream. “I started at 16 working for New Jersey Bell in Hackensack,” Cheryl states. She worked for over 30 years in sales and training before she retired and moved on to owning her own ren- ovation company with her sisters Lynne and Laura. “I always loved the idea of taking an old house and reclaiming its past glory,” Cheryl admits. However, the corporate world called, and Cheryl went to work for AT&T for another seven years. In mid-2013, Cheryl decided to take a real estate licensing course. “My husband and I always dabbled in real estate ventures,” she adds. “We moved to Mahwah in 2003, so my focus will be on Cheryl D’Elia Bergen County. I grew up in New Milford and moved to Hasbrouck Heights after getting married. In 1991, we bought land in Mahwah, and in 2003 we completed building our home here. “Becoming a Realtor has been my dream for most of my life, but I never had the time to realize it. Now I am working with a great team at RE/MAX Real Estate Associates. I am working with Joan m. Sobeck, one of the owners. With over 40 years of experience, Joan has distinguished herself as president of the New Jersey Association of Realtors, and has co-authored two books on real estate. I consider myself very lucky!” Cheryl also considers herself lucky as she has been happily married to her husband Joseph for over 28 years. Their family includes daughter Jaclyn and grandson Dwight. “I find it is very fulfilling to be helping people achieve their goals and desires,” explains Cheryl. She believes her 38 years with Verizon and AT&T and her experience in the home renovation business will prove invaluable in marketing her clients’ properties and in finding them the right place to buy or rent.
