Real estate teams in Licking County

Working with Stephen Dial has set the standard for what I expect from a real estate professional. I’ve partnered with Stephen on two different home purchases and two sales, and each time he has delivered a level of service and support that goes far beyond what most agents provide. Stephen is the rare combination of detail-oriented strategist, empathetic advisor, and highly skilled communicator—a blend that makes the entire process not only smooth, but genuinely enjoyable. Stephen’s market knowledge is unmatched. He brings a deep understanding of local trends, pricing dynamics, and competitive positioning. With each home, he helped us clarify what mattered most, anticipate how the market would move, and navigate decisions with confidence. He never pushes, never rushes, but instead provides thoughtful perspective rooted in real data and years of experience. What sets Stephen apart is his communication and professionalism. He is proactive, responsive, and always a step ahead—whether coordinating inspections, aligning timelines, flagging important details, or ensuring we understood every element of the process. No question ever felt too small, and no challenge ever felt too big. Stephen approaches every interaction with clarity, calm, and a commitment to making sure we feel supported. His empathy and work ethic are equally exceptional. Stephen truly listens. He understands the emotions, stress, and excitement that come with a home search, and he consistently showed up with patience, encouragement, and honesty. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and cares deeply about the families he serves. He went above and beyond in moments when it mattered most—advocating for us, protecting our interests, and ensuring every detail was handled with precision. I recommend Stephen without hesitation to anyone seeking a real estate partner they can trust. He has earned our loyalty for life.

From the first phone call with our agent (Eric Hammersmith) his professionalism and expertise of the market was evident. He was confident that we could meet our goals even on a very tight timeline. During our first meeting in person he was patient, professional, and provided data backed analysis on the market we were in. This analysis allowed us to have a better understanding of today’s housing market and what to expect. These numbers were 100% accurate in our case! Exact number of days on the market and very close on expected value we would receive. My family and I couldn’t be happier after working with Mr. Hammersmith.

Alli and Rion are a fantastic team! They helped us quickly get up to speed and make an informed decision within our target community. Once we made a decision, they were all about getting what we wanted through an efficient process. Alli and Rion were responsive and helped keep us two steps ahead throughout the process. Did I mention that they helped us sell our previous home for more than we thought possible?!?
