Team Cheatle finds a new home

A family group of Realtors with deep ties to the local market has found a new home at Century 21 New Millennium.

Team Cheatle — Terry Cheatle, Walter Cheatle, Jim Cheatle and Kelly Fox — joined Century 21 New Millennium at 601 S. Main St. in Culpeper earlier this month.

The team worked for Re/Max Regency out of Warrenton before making the change.

“One of the reasons that this is such a good move for us is Century 21 allows us to have an off-site design center,” said Terry Cheatle, who has nearly 40 years of real estate experience. “About 50 percent of our business is new construction. Since we have to have a license somewhere, this gives us the opportunity to do both. So that works very well for us.”

In 1997, her husband Walter Cheatle, founded Trigon Homes, a new construction design center that recently relocated to East Davis Street. He has more than 30 years of experience in real estate properties and more than 20 in the commercial building industry.

Jim Cheatle, Terry and Walter’s son, has 10 years of real estate experience in the Piedmont and northern Virginia region; he specializes in land and new home construction.
Kelly Fox, Terry Cheatle’s sister, became a licensed assistant five years ago.

Once the Cheatles’ new design center is complete, Team Cheatle will work out of that downtown office — but under the Century 21 New Millennium umbrella. Trigon Homes is a family-owned and operated business that designs and sells semi-custom homes.

Terry Cheatle, 62, an associate broker who received the Re/Max Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009, began her career in real estate in 1971. After two-plus years enduring a terrible real estate market, she’s confident a recovery has already begun.

Herb Lisjak, branch leader for Century 21 New Millennium in Culpeper and Warrenton, said his company takes great pride in the Cheatles joining his office.

“Working with Team Cheatle is absolutely an honor, a privilege and energizing,” Lisjak said. “Terry and her team possess an enthusiasm for their business that is rare.

“In a market that has been less than cooperative in the past few years, they have continued to work each day in the best interest of their clients; with an always positive outlook. … I think our firm has always been recognized as a group of real estate professionals with strong ties and a large commitment to the Culpeper community, so the blending of our collective resources will allow us to do even
more.”

In 1998, the owners of three Century 21 offices in the Mid-Atlantic region consolidated to form Century 21 New Millennium, a collective enterprise that would share resources, inventories and innovations to benefit buyers and sellers throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region.

The organization has 13 regional offices with more than 400 real estate professionals serving clients in northern Virginia, Maryland and D.C.
