Sheri McCarthy is a real estate professional known for her upbeat, methodical approach and unwavering commitment to client success. From start to finish, she cultivates a “champion team” for every transaction, collaborating seamlessly with real estate attorneys, inspectors, contractors, and mortgage brokers. If clients don’t already have trusted professionals, Sheri provides recommendations from her extensive network, ensuring a fluid and stress-free property journey.
Sheri’s capacity to connect with clients on a personal level is rooted in her dynamic life story. Raised in the Northwest, she spent her childhood in Boise, Idaho, where a structured upbringing instilled discipline and determination. Her teenage years in Portland, Oregon, introduced her to a more communal, free-spirited environment—her father, a NW fishing guide outfitter, taught her the value of cooperation and the hands-on skills she gained by renovating homes together.
In her twenties, Sheri’s adventurous spirit led her to a role as a tour manager assistant for a renowned rock band, ultimately bringing her to the East Coast. While earning her Master’s in Occupational Therapy at Russell Sage College, she balanced strict academic standards with raising two spirited young men. During this time, second homes allowed her family to embrace all the outdoor adventures and activities—nurturing resilience, adaptability, and a profound appreciation for nature.
A lifelong athlete with a passion for diving and global travel, Sheri frequently explores the vibrant MesoAmerican Reef and beyond. She has firsthand experience navigating international real estate transactions, lending invaluable insight into the nuances of cross-border property ownership. This worldly perspective enhances her ability to guide clients from all backgrounds and walks of life, whether they’re seeking a cozy neighborhood home or a far-reaching international investment.
From her roots in the Northwest to her thriving career on the East Coast, Sheri now calls DownTown Saratoga Springs home. She loves her community and takes full advantage of all it has to offer—from the collegiate sports and art events at Skidmore College to the seasonally celebrated historic Thoroughbred horse racing. Sheri’s focus on building meaningful relationships and delivering exceptional results ensures that, no matter where life leads, she is ready to help clients navigate every step of their real estate journey with confidence and ease.

ABOUT SHERI MCCARTHY
Hi, I’m Sheri McCarthy, and I am going to help you navigate the often difficult and sometimes turbulent waters of the real estate transaction! With a background as a Master Occupational Therapist and rescue diver, I am well equipped for challenge, and am committed to providing my clients with the expertise and extensive knowledge that I have gained through decades of experience.
I hailed from the Great Northwest - Oregon and Idaho – before relocating to Upstate New York to attend the Russell Sage College. After receiving my masters in Occupational Therapy, I worked in healthcare as a Pediatric OT, a very exacting and rewarding field. The rewards were hard-fought to win, and required sharp communication skills, specifically the ability to the listen and understand the non-verbal communications of many of the patients - children with amazing courage - who came to me for therapy. In return, I provided them with encouragement, support, and confidence to triumph over their changing and challenging worlds. It was work that prepared me to meet the specific individual needs of my real estate clientele.
An adventurous life, in rescuing diving and the music industry, has prepared me for the landscape of the real estate business. I was most fortunate to have enjoyed a great deal of travel, and learned about human connection from time spent with other people and cultures. Through the art of active listening, I developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills. My ability to thrive in these fast-paced environments allowed me to think on my feet, often outside of the box, and successfully “make it happen” for each individual client.
I found my way to the great Adirondack Region, where I fell in with a group of artists and builders rehabbing some grand old houses: Voila, my love of real estate was born!
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I have the knowledge and resources to guide you through the entire real estate transaction. My team of professionals include top-notch mortgage lenders, inspectors, attorneys and contractors. From contract to closing and beyond, my promise is to deliver exceptional service and treat each client as if they were my only client. Are you ready to take the dive?
