Cheryl is a Wake County native and the proud granddaughter of J.E. Strickland (d.1981) who was a NC real estate broker (licensed in 1957) and owner of Acme Realty Company on Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh. In keeping with the family business, she became a licensed Broker in 1982.
Being part of such a legacy and working in other employment settings centered around teaching, learning, and access, Cheryl values serving a diverse client/customer base and recognizes that it is just and right to treat every human being with decency and respect.
She has had the privilege of living in southeast and north Raleigh, Fuquay Varina, Angier and Cary…obviously, she’s a Wake County fan!
Cheryl’s also “fanatical” about taking the stress out of the real estate process and making her clients feel “right at home.”

Haylee has worked at Front Porch Realty as their Marketing Manager and Admin since September 2021 and has absolutely adored every moment of it. Haylee came into Front Porch Realty with zero knowledge in the Real Estate industry but has proved to be a quick learner and truly enjoys to gain more knowledge to better her marketing career at Front Porch!
Haylee was born and raised right outside of Fuquay-Varina, she attended Middle Creek High School and graduated in 2011. She went to Wake Tech Community College for a couple of years but found that she was more successful putting her traits to work outside of the classroom and trying her hand at a few different positions. Haylee bought a house in Fuquay-Varina right outside of Lillington back in 2017, her favorite part about owning a home is being able to do whatever she wants to her home! She has a knack for renovating areas, thrifting and turning her finds into something beautiful to stage inside, and often changing up color schemes in her home.
She has a passion for animals of all kinds. Currently Haylee has two fur-babies, Rimmy a Jack-Chi and Winston a Blue Merle Mini Australian Shepherd. Winston has quickly become the Front Porch Realty “mascot”! When she isn’t at work you can find her at one of the many breweries around Fuquay-Varina, out on Harris Lake fishing with her boyfriend Grant, or relaxing somewhere with her pups. Haylee is a friendly face in Fuquay-Varina that would love to meet and connect with you so be sure to say hello next time you see her out and about!
Tomeka was born and raised in a small town outside of Fuquay. She attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and it is there she developed a passion for real estate while searching for her own home. Tomeka decided that her true home would always be in Wake County so it was an obvious decision to return to the area and buy her first home! During this process her passion was reignited and she became a real estate agent in 2017. Priding herself on making insurmountable tasks doable, Tomeka is always available to answer questions and offer solutions to both buyers and sellers. Tomeka is happiest when her clients achieve goals they did not think were possible. No matter where you are in the process, she will be happy to join your journey.
