Cari Kost at Go Giver Real Estate has exceeded our expectations and more. From jumping in her car last minute at 8pm to drive 30 minutes away just to show our kids a house before we made a huge decision, to helping us work through the small but seemingly big bumps in the road. Taking phone calls while on vacation and texting us updates even if it’s 10pm because she knew it would help us sleep at night. Making our kids feel welcome even with last minute changes. Praying for us and our situation. Without her none of this would have been possible. If you are looking to buy or sell, call her!! You will not be disappointed.
Cari did an awesome job for us during a recent home purchase. First, we became very interested in a house but only had one day before leaving for a 2 week European vacation, and Cari came through with a showing first thing in the morning. As it turned out, we loved the house, so Cari helped us write a bid on it that very day before we left for Europe! And of course many details and documents required our attention while in Europe, but Cari was with us every step of the way. Even from a very different time zone, she did everything necessary to get us that house as soon as possible. She was always available for any questions or concerns, providing thorough and timely feedback. And, she closely monitored every step of the process to prevent delays. We got our dream house, and we feel we have a lot to thank Cari for!
We cannot say enough good things about Cari and her performance in selling our property! She kept us smoothly on-point with to-do lists and all paperwork from listing through final closing, and was easily accessible throughout the entire process. Her drone-based aerial & exterior views for an early marketing post were absolutely stunning & generated a ton of interest well before our actual listing. The inside listing pictures posted were done extremely well, & included a 3D walkthrough option, all measurements, and an incredible option to remove all furniture. As a result of her marketing skills, we had multiple showings booked for the first 2 days listed. During the bidding process, she worked to optimize our return every step of the way. Her performance in all aspects of this important & challenging endeavor continuously exceeded our expectations! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CARI !!!
Lindsey was really helpful thoughout this process on what was my first home sale in Ohio. She was with me at the very beginning to give me some helpful feedback on things I could do to my house to make it more marketable, kept in touch throughout our preparations, and then listed our house and got us under contract after the first weekend for over our asking price! We are so grateful to have had her help navigating this process!
This is the second property that I have sold with Lindsey and she is such an asset to have in my corner! This property had a lot more details to figure out during the negotiation process that I was really grateful Lindsey could use her knowledge and expertise to help me navigate through. She knows the small towns of Northwest Ohio SO WELL! Glad I could be working with her!
Greg was very knowledgeable as he strategically and professionally guided me through the purchasing process. He proactively reached out on a regular basis, espwcially when there was a lack of available housing new to the market, maintaining the relationship as he strived to learn what I was truly looking for in my future home. He skillfully balanced his professional and personal hat as did this, knowing when to push and knowing when to give me time to process a conversation we just had or a house we had looked at. He willingly answered any and all questions I had, helping me feel comfortable with the decisions I made or had to make. In the end, Greg helped me purchase a home with everything in it I said I was hoping to get, and I am very pleased with it!
Greg was very professional. Always replied quickly to any questions we had. He was very helpful throughout the process from start to finish.
Tamara was helpful through the entire process, when I moved out of state she checked on the house regularly and stayed persistent to get it sold.
Greg really did everything possible to make this home selling experience positive for me. He is a really good communicator by text, phone call, and in-person. He provides patience so the seller understands specific elements of the process, and he allows the seller to drive decision-making. I'm happy to have chosen Greg, and I'm certain you'll be pleased when you choose him as your agent too.
Great communication, always there to help with any questions or concerns. If she doesn’t know the answer, she gets one in no time. Made everything comfortable for me as a first time home buyer.
