Very good expieriance

Rudy is very understanding he didn't push me and gave me the time I needed to seek out counseling for some health issues I been diagnose with. He talked with me and walked me through the process of selling my home. He's very personable and easy to talk with. Thank You Rudy

A delight to work with

Not being from Put-in-Bay, I began to call friends who live there full time for recommendations for a realtor. My sister passed away and we needed a reliable realtor to represent us in the sale of her property. Rudy's name was mentioned more than others. He has a wonderful reputation on the Island. After we retained him offers started almost immediately. Rudy helped us evaluate the offers and was always available when we called. The property closed without a hitch. I could not recommend him more highly.

I used Rudy Cooks to buy my property.

Rudy is the best agent I have ever worked with. Although my purchase was relatively small, he treated me as though I was an important client. He was very personable, always ready with answers to my questions and I felt very comfortable. He kept me informed through the whole purchase process. Whether buying or selling, Rudy is the agent of choice.

The only Put-In-Bay Realtor

This is the second home Mr. Cooks has sold for me. I called him a second time to list because of how easy he was to work with when I needed to sell my Put-In-Bay rental last season. He made the process easy. What impressed me most that time and this time was his knowledge of the island and willingness to do whatever it took to get the deal done. Selling a home on an island can be a difficult process. I don't know what I would have done without his help. He knows everything about the island and brought me a buyer quickly. I will call him again!

Above and Beyond!

I've known Rudy for a long time living year round on Put-in-Bay. My parents and I have been looking casually at houses here on the island for the last few years thinking we could never afford anything. Rudy gave us the push to take that next step into the buying process of a home. He is very easy to get a hold of if you see a house on the market you have questions about or if you would like to go through it. He is also very flexible on his schedule if you wanted him to show you a home. It definitely helped my parents and I out that he knew the sellers as well. In our experience with Rudy he went above and beyond as a realtor to get us the house we wanted here on the island at the price we wanted.
