Client Testimonial

Client Testimonial: “Bill is informative, reliable, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with when it comes to buying a house and making improvements. He provides you with estimates and ideas for improvents in no time. Bill goes the extra mile as a realtor through the use of technology, finding exactly what type of house works for you, providing you with points of contacts to make improvements, and importantly stays in touch throughout the entire process. Overall, Bill makes shopping for a house enjoyable! When trying to sell your house, Bill is just as enjoyable to work with. He puts time into advertising your house through the use of a great photographer, open houses, and marketing. I have never encoutered a realtor as good as Bill and would highly recommend him and his services for either buying or selling your house.” – Brittany F, Grove City Seller, 2013

Brittany & Russ's Updating Pays Off

Living Area Before & After

Almost 2 years ago, I started working with Clients Brittany & Russ who were relocating from North Carolina to Columbus for Russ's work.  We had focused on searching for homes in Grove City and Canal Winchester.  We saw a lot of homes but two really stuck out, a brick home in Canal Winchester that beautiful but was at the top of their budget and needed updating and a home in Pinnacle The Greens that was well below their budget but was pretty beaten up by the Owner at the times daughter and her dog that had been living there (He lived in California and had bought the home for her in lieu of renting).  Brittany & Russ have a little girl, Emily, who was just a baby at the time and considering two factors, she wasn't going to be in school for another 5 years and he may get transferred again for work in the next few years, the home they bought wasn't going to be a "forever" house.  I was pretty adamant the Pinnacle home was the better investment and considering at the time the home was vacant and had been on the market for 3 months and had been listed at $189,999 and was currently priced at $177,900, I knew the price would be negotiable.  Just as another option, without Brittany & Russ, I stopped by the M/I Homes Sales Office to see if there were any home building options and I found out that M/I was building the same home for $139,000, so I asked for the documentation from the Builder Representative and we submitted an offer for $139,000 with the documentation from the builder saying we could build a new home for the same price, we got the home for $139,000 (that's $38,900 under the list price).  After closing, we went to pick out granite with a granite company I had been working with  and flooring and I connected them with someone to get a good price on appliances.  Brittany & Russ removed the existing 1st floor flooring themselves and had hardwood laminate installed on the entire 1st floor which made a HUGE difference and would have cost a fortune as an upgrade to do with a builder.  Over time they did several other updates including adding a patio, painting, etc.  A few weeks ago I talked to them again and they were relocating to Mississippi, we listed their home for $174,900 which was comparable to homes currently on the market.  Within minutes of being on the MLS, we had a showing scheduled and then another, within the 24 hours, we had two offers and more showings scheduled plus a planned Open House.  We are currently sale pending for over asking price, the feedback has been incredible and at the Open House there were lots of comments about how beautiful the home is and how they had seen the same model of home before and did not like it but for some reason loved this one, which I attributed to the hardwood laminate on the entire first floor made it feel much more spacious.  There were several people at the Open House that were interested in the home if the offer in place fell through.  I asked Brittany to give me an estimate of how much total they had spent on the updates on the home and she told me it was about $10,000. The moral of the story: It really does payoff to update a home!

New Ads for 2012

In most Real Estate Advertising, most Agents either market themselves or market a property, my goal was to design an ad that was simple, attractive and where both the property/ neighborhood and the agent were both featured.

MERION VILLAGE SELLER/ BEXLEY BUYER TESTIMONIAL

Lauren & Eli's Bexley Home
"Bill goes above and beyond what was required. This seems an easy thing, but it is not. This is especially true when you have two first time home sellers who are eager, nervous, and excited to buy their first home together and sell the bachelor pad. Bill promptly responds to emails, text messages and phone calls. In short, he is available and he makes you a priority. Additionally, he is honest. Bill will provide you with his opinions, when asked (we begged for them!), on both how to ready your home for selling and suggestions related to the purchase of a new home. He is experienced and he is knowledgable about real estate and about home renovations. Additionally, what Bill does not know, he tends to know someone who knows - for example, Bill suggested we fix an overhead light that had unsightly visible cords and do a little ceiling work in our home prior to selling, he also suggested the handy man and electrician to cheaply and correctly perform the work. These suggestions made an impact in our sale and served to assist us in getting the work done. Bill even met workers at our home when we were unable to do so to ensure the work was completed before a showing! Bill eases home buyer/seller tensions with honest feedback and his hard work. I would and I do recommend Bill Robbins as a realtor - in short, Bill is the consumate professional and a genuinely nice guy." - Lauren & Eli,  Merion Village Sellers/ Bexley Buyers, 2012
