“If you have something important to accomplish, find a busy woman and let her handle the task.”   CHERYL TURNER IS ONE SUCH WOMAN. As one of Naples’ most respected real estate professionals, Cheryl offers her clients nearly two decades of experience as both a broker and sales executive. Although she was born and raised in Connecticut, Cheryl’s friends refer to her as the “cosmopolitan Neapolitan” because of her multi-faceted areas of interest, which include her love of animals, oil painting, traveling, and her community. She believes in giving – of both her time and resources – and is involved in the Annual NCH Hospital Ball as well as in raising funds for the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI). She currently serves as Vice-moderator for the Naples United Church of Christ. Naples, the crown jewel of the Gulf coast, offers more than just a great place to live; it offers an extraordinary lifestyle. Cheryl’s commitment to providing her clients with the kind of dedicated service that produces exceptional lifestyle results is what has secured her national ranking in the top five percent of Realtors. Although Cheryl is proud of her civic and professional accomplishments, when asked what she finds most gratifying about her life she never hesitates to answer, “When my clients become my friends.” PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATIONS ARB - Accredited Buyer Representative CIPS - Certified International Property Specialist Candidate CRB- Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager CRS - Certified Residential Specialist GRI - Graduate of REALTORS Institute E-Agent –Electronic Agent   PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS Florida Real Estate Brokers License Member, National Association of REALTORS Member, Florida Association of REALTORS Member, Naples Area Board of REALTORS Member, International Section of the National Assoc. of REALTORS Member, International Real Estate Federation Member, REBAC - Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council   BUSINESS EXPERIENCE Mar. 2004 – Present John R.
