Shannon was my daughter's realtor and saw her through two home purchases. When we started to think about moving back to the area, I knew we needed Shannon. I shared my preferences and budget and she found several homes. She helped me understand what my real priorities were and we finally landed a home in Kent. She had referrals ready for title inspection and renovation quotes. She kept me informed during the whole process including timing for insurance and utility setup. I would highly recommend Shannon for her knowledge of the surrounding areas as well as real estate process. She was very helpful, friendly and patient.
Any time we wanted to book a showing he would set it up quickly. He got to know us and we became friends. He explained things and made the process make sense. We asked many questions and he always got back to us with thorough answers.
Pam was always very responsive to our phone calls in helping us to find a house that meets our current needs. She was very knowledgeable & professional and helped guide us through the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home & would definitely contact her again if we ever needed to move again.
Having her represent us gave us an advantage in both selling our house and in purchasing our new house. Would definitely use her services again.
I can't say enough good things about my realtor! She was truly amazing to work with from beginning to end. With my busy schedule, she made everything so easy and convenient, always working around my availability and keeping the process as stress-free as possible. She really listened to what I wanted and never tried to push me outside of my budget. She made sure I found a home that checked all the boxes and stayed within my price range. She handled every document carefully, explained everything along the way, and took care of all the communication with the sellers so I never had to worry.

Sebastian is an amazing realtor. He assisted us for nearly one year before we finally found our dream home. He was always ready and willing to show us any house no matter how far away (and we ran him all over Portage and Stark county) never making us feel like a burden. He was always positive and supportive and never once made us feel pressured to find something. I could not possibly recommend him more if you need a realtor. We are very grateful for all of his time, patience, and dedication to us finding the perfect home.
The entire selling process from start to finish was great. Jake was able to answer any and all questions that I had. He was extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to get my home sold.
Jake is a great negotiator and communicator. Highly recommend him.
As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to guide us through every step of the process, making sure we understood everything along the way. Her patience and understanding made what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. She was also extremely responsive, always returning calls and texts quickly and keeping us informed throughout our home search and purchase. We truly felt supported from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially first-time buyers. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication made all the difference in helping us find our home.
