Long time no talk- Realtor question

Hey ladies, it's been a LOOONG time since I have been on here, how is everyone doing??

 I have a realtor question for you.  H and I are in the beginning stages of house-hunting.  We are waiting to see if we get pre-approved.  If we do, should the next step be looking for a realtor?  We have been going to open houses just to look and get a feel for things we like. 

 If you think the next step is looking for a realtor, do you have one you rec?  My Mom really liked her realtor that she has always used, Dave Overbeck with Huff.  Any other suggestions?

 TIA!

Re: Long time no talk- Realtor question

  • Yes, look for an agent.  What areas are you looking at?  Some agents are specialized in certain areas of town.
  • We used Joyce Turner with Champions Reality and really loved working with her. But yes that would be the next step. I would recommend asking people you know and interviewing those realtors first.

  • Matt Clark with ReMax helped us when we bought our home in December. Great guy and helped us get a lot from the seller!
  • We did pretty much the same thing when we started house hunting.  To choose a realtor we got a few recos and then interviewed them all and picked the one that we felt most comfortable with to represent our best interests.

    I highly recommend Pat(ricia) Chrysler of Comey & Shepard.  As first time home buyers she helped educate us through out the entire process and really felt like a friend in giving honest opinions.

  • My family has been using Mike Jordan from Jordan Realtors in Kenwood for over 30 years.  He has always been absolutely wonderful to us.  I've personally bought two houses and sold one to date, and he is going to be the listing agent on our current house when we list it in a few more weeks.

    He is honest, doesn't sugar coat anything, and will work hard to get the house you are wanting.  Not pushy and just a great guy all around.  His office #513-791-0281 and they are located in Kenwood but will work all over town for you.  GL!

  • Thanks for all of the replies ladies!  I'm so nervous and excited at the same time!! We are meeting with Dave Overbeck to see how we feel about him this Friday evening.  If anyone has anything to add or any advice feel free to shout it out!

  • I don't know where you are looking, but a freind of ours is a realtor, he helped us find our house and then about a year later, sold my parents house (in 8 days!!)  He is fantastic.  He is the "no-pressure, take as long as you need" kind of guy.  We house-hunted close to 8 months before we found ours and he was patient the whole time.  If you want his number, I'd be glad to provide it! :)

    Thanks Laina, I can't promise we will go with your friend, but I wouldn't mind having the number as a back-up!

  • Oh in this case I will also throw in the names for 2 OHHS classmates that I know are now realtors.  I can't speak for their real estate know how but they definitely know the area since they grew up there.

  • Thanks Christine.  I love having the options, and since we are just in the beginning stages, I love having more names to research.

  • Our realtor right now is Anita Biehl with Hoeting (Bridgetown office at the 5 way).  She is AWESOME!!!!!  She is so attentive and super nice.  We are looking in Oak Hills too.  There isn't much out there right now, but she said lots of people list in March/April so we are hopeful!

     Good Luck!!

    Our LIttle boy!
