i used shawn king for my loan, got me 2% better rate at the time than everyone else. He also does reality. He was a friend of a friend. Edited February 24, 2010 by John Bruh

i financed with pat glanzman at 5/3rd. he was easy to work with and got us a killer rate. as far as realtors, we went through about 3 so, its just kinda hit and miss really. you just need to find one that youre comfortable with. we used the glanzman group out of pickerington to represent us during our purchase. they are good people.

I've definitely got a recommendation. I know he is very good with the Worthington/Dublin/Hilliard/UA/Clintonville areas. I'm sure most any other area he is knowledgable about, those are just the places I was looking.

 

I actually wound up using his mother, who is a mortgage person with 5/3. She is GREAT with new buyers. Helps you through every step.

 

PM me if you want his/her info.

They took great care of a good friend, he sold two places and bought one with them. They're good folks. If you get in touch with them, kindly mention Chris Green referred you - I like folks to know when I'm thinking of them.

Me! I am a Realtor with Keller Williams Greater Columbus. I work on the Demopolis Team as the listings manager and also work with buyers.

 

Our team consists of a team leader, 2 buyers agents, 1 part time agent, myself as the listings manager, a transaction coordinator, and a runner/contractor.

 

Let me know what you need and I'll let you know what I can do for you.

 

Feel free to shoot me a pm or e-mail at tedsmith@kw.com.

 

And I have a few recommendations as far as a mortgage person. I can send you their contact info. Or I can have them contact you.

If you want a really good realtor, PM me and I'll send you the contact info to ours. MKV Aaron used her, and said he was really happy with her.

 

She was able to sell our condo when similar units at simlar prices DID NOT SELL.

 

She was the only reason we were able to get the house we are in now...a bank owned home we got for a steal, and got it for literally a couple hundred bucks more than the next highest bidder.

 

She is a pit bull, she WILL fight for you. We had issues with our condo association, and she fought for us. She has no problem with being the bad guy. She knows her shit very well, and has been doing this a long time. She is great at researching properties, very good at following up on items, and has a lot of connections.

 

She also has great listing/home prep skills. She knows how to stage a home well. Her listings are well written, the pictures are good. She is very detail oriented.

 

No matter who you go with, DO NOT just pick someone because they are on a message board you are a member of, because they are a realtive of someone you know, etc. This is large amounts of money we are talking about...you need someone that really knows what they are doing.

 

My realtor is top notch. I'll be listing another property with her this week, and I'm sure it will be a challenge for her, but she is always up for a challenge. She works for HER Realty, so she isn't some private deal either.

I agree, don't pick someone just because they are on the same message board. You definitely need to make sure that you interview Realtors as these types of transactions are some of the largest you'll ever be involved with. Truth is in the numbers, and eveyone's wants and needs are different. Our team does real estate full time, we are going to do everything we can for you because if we don't, then there goes our lively hood. Don't pick someone just because they are referred to you, interview them and see if they fit you. Something I would recommend is doing a search on google.com for questions to ask a Realtor, "Interview questions"

 

Whatever you decide, make your decision an informed and educated one. I wish you the best in your home buying venture!
