She worked hard for us and was great in listing our home and helping us throughout the process. Thank you so much!

Brandon Mosher

We recently listed and SOLD our last rental property with Bill Stepp!

Bill was amazing to work with and made the whole process effortless for us. He was absolutely professional, easy to make contact with at any time of day, and truly worked hard to sell our property. Bill gave us great advice when we got offers on our listed property and kept us up to date on all activity related to our listing. We had previously listed with another real estate company and can say without hesitation that Bill Stepp at NextHome gave us superior service. We would highly recommend Bill for any real estate needs!

Carl and Lori Richert

She was delight to work with.

She was always up on all the properties that came on the market. I would give her a 5 star on how she found the right home for us. Thanks Vicki !!!

Deborah Reed

Kristen was wonderful throughout the whole process.

She was great at helping me understand options at every decision and how everything worked. I was amazed at how fast the showings were scheduled. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who is a seller especially as a first time or executor of an estate.

Kelly Woods

My wife and I had worked with other realtors before Barbie.

Our experiences with other realtors were sub par, it was definitely a blessing finding Barbie. She really listened to our wants and needs. She carefully went through the options to weed out anything that was not a good fit as to not waste our time. We ended up putting an offer in on the first house she showed us. She was very knowledgeable and diligent on keeping in contact with us and checking in on us, even when she was out of town. She promptly answered any questions we had and was able to help motivate our lender to finish the paperwork on their side. Working with Barbie definitely decreased our stress level during our first home buying experience. I honestly don't think it could have gone any smoother, I cannot recommend Barbie enough.

Matthew Dean

Wendy Anderson was a pleasant and knowledgeable agent with whom to work.

I appreciated her help in answering all of my questions, both relevant and not, throughout the process of deciding to buy. Wendy was willing to help make all the related activities in purchasing a new home develop smoothly over a short period of time. I very much appreciated Wendy's efforts.

Sue (Retired School Counselor)

Barbie was amazing!

She was so considerate of what we wanted and found us a home that is everything we were looking for. She listened, she was prompt with everything, and she communicated with us extremely well! I am so grateful for Barbie and am blessed that we were able to work together!

Vicki Young is so amazing!

She kept me updated and informed of everything! She was just so consistent and determined to find my very first home!!!

Alex Perkins (Home owner )

Vicki Young was a pleasure for Lisa and me to work with as we searched for a house.

She was always ready to answer questions and had our best interests in mind. She also was regularly searching for options that would potentially suit our needs. I highly recommend her as a real estate agent.

Rob Kurtz

I could not have been happier with Reggie's vast local knowledge of Ashland and the surrounding area.

Reggie is not your typical Realtor. He goes above and beyond and really looked out for us every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Reggie!

Paul Jaskulski

Bill went the extra mile in helping us with a very difficult sale and purchase

Steve Goon

We moved to the area not knowing anyone.

We were quickly connected with Barbie, and she was a huge answer to prayer! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, always available and encouraging realtor - we could not recommend Barbie more. We felt heard the entire process and never had to question anything, she was always there to educate us and was on top of it all. Call Barbie! :)

Kate and Aaron Arnold

I’ve bought and sold many houses and certainly have high expectations in hiring an agent.

Wendy not only met, but exceeded those expectations in every way. Her communication sets the bar for what every realtor should strive for. She was punctual, responsive, and it was apparent that “quality over quantity” is what she strives for. Our house was in contract in less than a week with 3 offers over asking price, eventually closing at $13,000 over asking price. I was also given access to a box truck for my move for free! As an overall company, I truly feel like NextHome is setting the bar in customer service, marketing, and technology. The quality of the photos was unlike anything I’ve seen on the market. Everything about their marketing was high quality, cutting edge, and utilizing multimedia outlets. I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy Anderson to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Kim Swanstrom

Vicki was very personable and was very professional.

She provided so much information and knowledge that we could make our decisions with ease. I would recommend Vicki to anyone. She gets to know you, your wants and needs. She goes above and beyond for her clients and becomes a good friend.

Christine Murphy

I highly recommend Barbie.

She had a challenge with me being out of state and handled home tours, walk throughs, and negotiations with professionalism and ease. She was very detailed, thorough, and always had my best interest front and center. I especially appreciated her commitment to deadlines and depth of knowledge. When she said she'd get me a piece of information or whatever, she did it. Just as important (for me) as the professionalism and knowledge, is Barbie's sense of humor and easy going personality. Thank you Barbie for helping me purchase a slice of Ashland paradise!

Michaela Brehm (Director, Grant Development and Management)

Two words.

Responsive and diligent. I live and work outside of Ohio and rely on referrals exclusively. Wendy was referred to me by a 40 year veteran of Ashland and Richland county real estate. Wendy’s high level communications skills and responsiveness to prospective clients captured all the details my team required and she further painted a clear picture of each transaction so we had zero questions and zero issues - all handled or addressed in advance. Call her today.

Eric Krantz (Principal Trustee)

I was introduced to Bill Stepp thru a Ashland Legal Firm who was handling the Estate of a family member.

Upon contact Bill Stepp made recommendations on how to present the home for sale, estimated selling price and issues required to present the home at its best. We took his advise and the home was sold near the asking price in less than two weeks. I would recommend engaging Bill Stepp, Realtor in the sale of your property.

joseph Merkwaz (VP America Sales Director)

If you need a realtor Vicki is the person!

My mom passed away in 2019 and I was left to sell the family home. The only problem is I live in Florida and CoVid-19 was rearing its ugly head which made travel difficult. I found Vicki online as I was looking at what price local homes were selling for in the Lexington area. I saw a home, similar to my mom’s home and it was listed and sold within a short period of time by Vicki. I reached out to her in August of 2020. I requested references and followed up with them and received rave reviews of her. I then arranged a meeting for October 2020 when I was traveling up to Ohio from Florida to start the clean out of the house. I knew on our first meeting she is someone I could work with. She is very knowledgeable and extremely personable, and she understood how emotional this was going to be for me. She had a list of things I could work on before we put it on the market. The home was not totally cleaned out until January 2021. There were a few problems that needed our attention before we put the “FOR SALE” sign in the yard. Vicki was able to meet with contractors to let them in and give estimates and to fix small things before the house was listed. I also had a “huge” project that needed to be completed before we put the “For Sale” sign in the yard. I requested a quote from a national company I had heard of the estimate came back and I was flabbergasted at the cost, she reached out to another local company and they came in and gave an estimate that was more reasonable. Vicki was able to check on the progress of the work and report back to me. Vicki is someone who really does go the extra mile and makes sure the job gets done. She walked me through the different offers that were made and help me understand the real value of my mom’s home. Once the offer was accepted by me, she kept on top of what was happening and kept me informed. I couldn’t have chosen a better realtor to work with! She really does care and I feel I have made a new friend.

Julia Stalnaker

I would not hesitate to highly recommend Barbie Lange for your real estate needs.

She is prompt, professional, efficient and pays attention to every detail. She made selling a family home much easier than I could have ever imagined. She communicated to us regularly and explained every document to us before we signed anything. She's the BEST!

Barb Queer

Wendy did a great job for our family.

She helped us in making a long distance move. She was very good at keeping us informed anytime a home/condo that we may be interested became available. She also responded quickly to any questions and helped us find something that worked for our family.

Lorie Deitz

We never thought we would be able to purchase a home in this tight market but Wendy made it happen.

She listened to our concerns and worked hard to find us homes with the amenities that were important to us while at the same time opening our minds to possibilities we wouldn't have otherwise considered. Her meticulous attention to detail is highly impressive, as are her sharp negotiation skills. I cannot recommend Wendy enough for any of your real estate needs.

dk

Having just completed the process of selling our family property (163 acres and a home), I would highly recommend working with Bill Stepp as your realtor.

Beginning with the initial handshake, Bill worked with personal interest, understanding and patience as we walked through this important but relatively unfamiliar process. His professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile was very much appreciated. He made sure we had whatever information we needed to make decisions and feel confident about the path we took to our sale. Bill’s experience in real estate and his honest, direct approach are valuable attributes in a real estate agent and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Martha Marshall (Seller)

Wendy was extremely helpful as we recently sold our condo in Ohio while remaining in our Florida home.

She always answered her phone and followed up on every detail. We highly recommend Wendy.

Mary Ann George

Great communicator in all of happenings over the months before the sale final. Thank you Barbie. Will use her again.

Jeffrey P Good and Patty Good

Cody and Sonya Harper

Vicki was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process very easy and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Tim Oxender (Business Architect )

I truly couldn't be happier with Kristen as our Agent.

She has gone above and beyond in every situation for us and has far exceeded my expectations. She was there for us when we missed out on houses we put offers in and she never stopped working hard to find us our home. I wish they had a 100 star rating because that's what she deserves. A person would be foolish to go with another Agent. Kristen is an unbelievable person with a heart for her job and a heart for her clients and it shows when she is doing her job. Kristen will be honest with you and will lead you in the right direction while respecting what you want. Couldn't be happier!! Just an amazing person through and through.

Aaron Reynolds (Help Desk Analyst)

we highly recommend Bill as a realtor.

He was always available for us and always let us know about new listings. He is honest and lets you know what he thinks. I would recommend him and his business to anyone. His honesty and integrity is impeccable. We were very pleased with him and associates. Larry and Cathy Viers

He was available and willing to get and give information. He is a very hard worker and never shied away from getting tasks done.

Wendy did an amazing job of marketing and selling my condo for me.

We made an offer that very day, the rest is history. It is our new home now. Vicki was always available and such a great help.

Lori Briggs

Our family worked with Wendy on the sale of our in-law's home.

She was forthright and honest through the entire process, helping us know what changes would be advantageous for the quick sale, as well as highest selling price, of the home. Recommendations also came with a list of contacts to complete the work. Her knowledge and expertise in the field of real estate was evident and her ability to work with the family on a personal level did not go unnoticed. I would highly recommend Wendy. She was aware of and on top of each step of the process, including following up with the buyer's agent to be sure we met our timeline goals of closing at the end of June. Wendy was a real blessing to our family in a difficult time. And for that, we thank her and are pleased to encourage others to use her services.

Kristin and Sean coppler

Barbie was such a fantastic, resourceful, and helpful agent!

We originally were planning to list FSBO, but after a poor start, we contacted Barbie about our house that we wanted to sell. She was very helpful right from the beginning on what the process would look like and how she could increase the scope of prospect buyers through her resources and connections. Since we had such a unique home and were hoping to appeal to the kind of family that would be interested in its charm, we decided to go with her. I’m so glad we did, because we ended up getting more than we were planning, even after closing costs. Not only that, but she handled any bumps that we ran into with grace and proficiency. We would have been lost in the strange waters of real estate without such a strong navigator. I’ve already recommended her to friends of mine looking to buy or sell their house, and I recommend her and her office to anyone in the area looking for a real estate agent with expertise and integrity.

Curt Cunning (First time home seller)

Vicki was such an amazing help in finding our new home & selling our current home.

She was professional and kind and we were 100% confident having her as our realtor. We highly recommend her to help in anyone’s journey of buying and selling.

Dave Stimpert (Attorney)

Barbie has been an excellent real estate agent.

She is professional, responsible, knowledgeable, helpful, hard working, and caring. She has went above and beyond in helping us sell our house and buy a new one. She is prompt to respond through text, email, or by phone. She is willing to answer questions and find out inquired information for us. She is respectful and kind. She quickly scheduled times for us to view houses we were interested in looking at. She has gotten all the documents for us to sign in a prompt fashion. She conducts her business in a way that makes her client feel valued and cared for. She has made an effort to help us close on our new house sooner than expected!

Erika Bird

Before asking Bill Stepp to be my realtor, I knew him as an active member of my church and an auctioneer who often donated his time for fundraising auctions for various community charities.

I chose him primarily for his honesty and integrity. I was selling a property as a POA and needed a fair market value for the property and then several months later, I needed a realtor to sell the property. Bill did both, arriving promptly at appointments and guiding me through the sale process. I wanted to start showing the property immediately but Bill said that it would show better if it was empty. He set the price at a level that seemed too high to me. But Bill's expertise in marketing and knowing the market proved out as within 2 days of listing, the property sold for full listing price. We closed in less than 2 weeks to everyone's satisfaction. Thanks, Bill!

Ruth Cellar (No title)

Greg is very detailed and thorough.

Wendy gave us great advice on the preparation of our property for sale.

She is very knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. She estimated that our house would be in contract in one week and we had three offers 7 days later. She was very responsive and kept us informed as to showings daily. I would highly recommend Wendy.

David W Fox

Wendy helped us purchase a new home and is in the process of selling our present home.

She has been very organized and professional. She is very quick to get back to me when I have a question and if she doesn't know the answer, she will find somebody who does. I highly recommend Wendy for buying or selling a home or business!

Barbie has done such a wonderful job working with my family to sell and purchase a house.

She made the process move along smoothly with her calm demeanor, flexibility and great communication. I would definitely recommend Babie if selling or buying a house!

Raymel Early

Regie did a GREAT job for us.

He has a lot of first hand knowledge of the local community and connections beyond a typical realtor. He is very in touch with our neighborhood and this extra bit of networking helped him sell our house quickly at a fair value for us and the buyer! Thanks Regie!

Brock (seller )

When my wife and I decided to sell our house I wanted to try to see if I could sell the house for sale by owner but after meeting with Kristen to discuss our plans I became convinced that she was our best option.

I am so glad I came to that conclusion! Kristen did an amazing job both selling our home and finding the right home for our family. I am very thankful for all her hard work and I am glad I listened to my wife for once lol.

Ryan Kalisz (Seller and Buyer)

Wendy is a great realtor to work with.

Very responsive and very good about keeping everything on track to meet our closing deadline. I enjoy going on walk-throughs with her, especially with the older homes in Ashland. She is also very knowledgeable about the Ashland market and has a good working relationship with other realtors and contractors.

Barbie is incredible!

She is so sweet, kind and helpful. She worked for us every step of the way and was willing to take all our questions (even well after office hours & on vacation). Barbie was always keeping us up to date on all pertinent info and made sure we were taken care of! Literally could not have asked for a better realtor

Tyler Bird (Director of Creative Arts at Grace Church)

Vicki did an amazing job!

She helped us find our perfect house for almost a year. She was always looking and sending us options. She worked with our schedules and always responded very promptly. She did a great job and I highly recommend using her to find your next home!

Bill made the whole process of selling my mom's condo very easy!

I live out of town so it was nice to know that everything was in good hands.

Angie Berresford (Director)

Emilee Dovci (1st time home buyer)

I am happy to recommend Bill Stepp for your buying or selling needs.

He was wonderful to work with ,went beyond what he needed to do.

i would recommend him to anyone

Kayseal

Barbie did a great job for us.

This was not a large purchase, but we felt like she treated us as if it were. She was very good at communicating and kept us up to date as changes occurred. Everything went smoothly and that was largely up to her good work on our behalf.

Jonathan Moeller

Wendy did a fantastic job making sure we closed on 2 properties on the same day.

She is very knowledgeable about the Ashland market and quick to get back us when we had questions. I am very thankful to have found a dedicated realtor for our growing rental business! Wendy really enjoys what she does and it shows.

Stella Schindler

Barbie was great from the very first conversation!

She asked all the right questions, was very patient as all the details were worked out for the purchase of a commercial property. She went out of her way to accommodate us on many occasions , meeting us and getting access to the building multiple times. She is very kind and a true professional! We will definitely use Barbie for any real estate needs we may encounter in the future!

Cant thank them enough for all there help and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Bill Douglas Clark

Douglas s Clark (Maintenance sup. at Pentair)

I’m 19 and I thought I would take on the task of buying my first house.

Before she even showed me the first house, Wendy took the time to get to know me, what I was looking for, and what the non-negotiable features in a house for me. A home theater was a MUST! Anytime something that she thought I would be interested in came on the market she would send me a text, and sometimes we would look at a house within a few hours of it even hitting the market. She walked me through the steps and made what could’ve been a nightmare-ish process - fun! I always looked forward to talking to Wendy about the process and learning what the next steps were. I never felt like I was in the dark, I always knew what was going on and what was next. I truly didn’t think I’d be able to find what I wanted in my price range. Wendy helped me find my dream home and more. I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking to buy a home, she makes the process fun, easy, and enjoyable. (or at least as enjoyable and easy as buying a house can be!)

Dylan Counts

Bill was an absolute pleasure to work with!

This was our first home purchase and Bill was effectively able to answer any of our questions that we had along the way and made us feel at ease during the whole process. Bill was very responsive and prompt to our needs. He is a joy to have in your corner as you go through a home purchase/sell and I would recommend him to anyone in need of real estate services.

Beau and Abby Carpenter

What makes Bill an amazing realtor is that he is an amazing person first.

Bill will always be completely honest with you, he cares for people, their needs, and their desires out of life before he cares about closing a deal. Bill goes above and beyond to help people find the perfect home!

Shannon Brown

It was a pleasure working with Vicki Young.

From our first meeting all the way to closing Vicki was always easy to get in touch with, knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend her for your buying and selling needs. She made the process easy and smooth during a very stressful time for our family.

Jennifer Teske

Wendy's a professional that will help you through your transaction step by step.

She's attentive and detailed and easy to work with.

Martin Schmitz (National Sales Manager)

It is my great good fortune to have sold my home through Wendy.

She is a master realtor. Every detail, every step of the way, was handled with skill and knowledge. She gave me wonderful support and marketed my house so skillfully that it sold significantly over asking. The entire experience was so amazing. I can't say enough!

Judith Ingraham

Wendy is an exceptionally helpful realtor who goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that her clients are able to find the house that they're looking for.

When my wife and I were preparing for a move from out of state and were looking for a house in Ashland, Wendy not only connected us with the right house for our family but also gave us names of local contractors, checked on the work that service technicians were performing on the house in our absence, and continued to provide us updates through every step of the process. She was a strong advocate for our needs and demonstrated a very detailed knowledge of houses and the local housing market. She answers texts, emails, and voicemail messages within minutes. We found her to be extraordinarily helpful. I would strongly recommend Wendy as a realtor. She greatly exceeded our expectations, and I'm very glad that we selected her as our real estate agent.

Daniel Williams

Barbie is the ultimate realtor.

She worked very hard to to find us our new home. It was not an easy job because of our health issues we had very specific needs and she found a near perfect house for. Very easy to work and just a beautiful person. Give Barbie a call she won’t disappoint you!

Terry Dtone

Vicki did a wonderful job!

She is friendly and professional. All of our questions were answered, and we had peace-in-mind, knowing that she was helping us sell our home. I have recommended Vicki Young to several people already, and will continue to do so.

Abigail Young (Office Administrator )

Wendy helped us buy a condo and sell our house.

She was very professional, organized and timely in all her dealings with us. She is honest and straightforward and friendly!

Susan McMillen

Words can not express how much I am grateful for this wonderful lady.

I have rented my entire life and never really thought much of owning a home. In the past 2 years I was trying to find a home to rent that would accommodate my family of 4 and my elderly mom with no luck. Either everything was too expensive, in a terrible area if it wasn't or simply just wasn't what we needed. So, I started thinking maybe the best option was to buy. I had posted in a local group on facebook inquiring the process and got at least 30 realtors wanting to sell me a home. Barbie reached out to me with a completely different tone in comparison to the rest, she wasn't trying to sell me a home. She wanted to help. And help she did. She helped with everything from finding me the right financial place in order to improve my credit, waited patiently until it was, answering any questions I had, walked me through the entire process. She kept in contact about every single thing. We looked at several homes until we walked into one I fell in love with immediately. When we put in my offer and it was accepted, she was joyous with me. We just closed yesterday on my first home. I couldn't ask for a better person to have been by my side during the entire time. She isn't just my realtor, she is my friend. She laughed and cried along with me. I honestly believe God sent this woman to us during our time of need and I am forever thankful to her.

Ina Adkins

We just finalized the sale of our parents home and Bill and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process of selling their personal items and then their home.

The entire crew was very helpful, professional and compassionate. Bill helped guide us through the whole process. Bill is punctual and extremely knowledgeable. He and his employees are honest, trustworthy and pleasure to work with. He and his staff were great. We would highly recommend Bill and NextHome to anyone that is looking for a real estate agent or auctioneer.

Very dedicated!

Works hard for the seller.

Kristen did an excellent job selling our house.

She kept us up to date on what was happening. She was available when we needed her and very responsive to messages. Highly recommend!

Heidi Matz

Me and my family truly enjoyed having Wendy as our realtor.

She was professional and was always available when needed. Even through a pandemic she was able to steer me and my family to our HOME! If you’re looking to find a home, do it with someone who truly is passionate with the work she does. Ask for Wendy!

Christian Alexander Langston (Youth Case Worker )

Thank you for making this process easier for us.

Handling all our home affairs while we were out of state. Truly made it simple on our end anyway. :)

Jennifer Meadows

Wendy was very helpful in helping us find the house that fit our budget and needs.

It only took a couple of weeks to find our house and as soon we made an offer she kept us updated all of the time. Wendy kept the buying process moving along and as stress free on us as possible.

Mr Stepp was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in addressing all my questions, concerns pertaining to the disposal of Household Contents, Personal property, and Real Estate associated with my mother's Estate.

A very thorough and professional representative. Thank you so much.

Had a great experience with Bill.

From the estimate sale to the selling my parent’s house. Throughout the whole process Bill was right there reassuring me that everything will work out. While I was a nervous reck! Thank you, Bill for all your help. Lisa

Lisa Stiner

Regie Loyd was most professional and honest in the buying and selling of our homes.

He has a vast knowledge of Real Estate both in general and locally. All questions we had were answered. It was a pleasure to have Regie as our agent to buy our new home and as the agent to sell our old home. I can only say good things about Regie. Thank You Raymond and Saundra Briggs

Bill was attentive, professional, thorough, experienced, conscientious, diligent, and an overall pleasure to work with as he sold my property within 24 hours after he had listed it!

Evan J. Palik (Client)

Kristen was a great advocate for us in the process of buying our first home.

She took seriously every part of the job from start to finish, helping us think through the pros and cons of the property we were interested in as well as the best way to negotiate once we had settled on a property. Would certainly recommend!

Tim Haglund

Wendy did a great job.

We are living in Oregon and wanted to purchase a condo in Ohio. She had to help us with several properties before deciding on a condo. She was very helpful and understanding of our situation. She did extra to help us and was very good in keeping us informed. She responded and answered our questions very quickly.

Charles Deitz

Vicki was great to work with, she was very thorough and took care of everything.

Working with her made the process of buying a new home and selling our previous home very smooth. She was very knowledgeable about the current market which helped us sell our home quickly and at a price that we were very happy with. Integrity and transparency are very important to Vicki which made buying and selling with her an experience that I felt very comfortable with. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy and/or sell.

Chris Nicol (Security Engineer)

Barbie is incredibly detail oriented and very knowledgeable of the real estate market.

She takes fantastic pictures and really spent time representing my home in its best light, and it sold right on time!

Shelley Clements (HR Manager)

I don’t even know where to start.

From the beginning of our selling and buying process Kristen Tobias has gone above and beyond to put in the work to make everything happen. She’s extremely knowledgeable, and if there was ever something she was unsure of she immediately found resources to get information and answers. She was very easy to get ahold of and always very friendly and professional. We had full trust and confidence in her and any of her recommendations that she provided. She worked very quickly to fix any issues if they arised with paperwork. She calmed our fears if we were ever anxious about anything. You won’t regret it if you choose Kristen to be your realtor!

Danielle Reynolds (Full Time Mom)

Edin Palma

Kristen made first home buying easy.

She found the perfect home for me in less than a month. She listens to what you want and helps you uncover it. I’d recommend her to anyone that wants to find their dream home

Rachelle Matz

Bill was so great at leading us through selling our home of 41 years.

With no experience of selling our property: We didn’t have an idea of what to ask for the sale. We needed to not sell to soon because of our move in date at our condo. We had a lot of things to get moved out. Bill advised us to get inspection of septic system, basement walls and leaks of any water fixed, and a whole home inspection. This was great advise, we then just referred to reports for condition of property. We are very thankful to Bill for leading us through our sale! We recommend him to all as great choice.

Larry Donelson

We could not have asked for a better real estate professional to help us find what we needed and wanted.

Barbie worked hard for my husband and I, and did so with such grace, kindness, and integrity. I have already recommended her to others, and will continue to do so.

Maryanne Wise

We were recommended Vicki Young from some people from our new church.

I was nervous about the process of buying a house moving to Ohio from Florida. Vicki was so helpful and insightful about the housing market in Ashland/Mansfield area. The most important thing to us in a realtor was communication and Vicki went above and beyond to always keep us in the know. If we move in the future we will certainly be using Vicki as well as recommending her to anyone who needs a realtor!

Kenny Conger

Barbie provided unwavering support, professionalism, and care throughout our entire process.

She brings an incredible level of experience, with an astute knowledge of the market and the individual needs of her clients. Among the most valuable services, she conducted thorough research to assure the optimal placement of our home. Her attention to detail, organization, and knowledge of the field made the process smooth and reassuring throughout. Your home and search process will be in stellar hands with Barbie! She is an absolute role model for the best of the field, and she makes the process enjoyable all along! I give her six stars!

Jennifer Fish (Professor)

We have used Vicki's services to purchase two properties.

She is efficient, and quick to take care of viewings, appointments, etc. She kept us informed, especially since we bought this last house during the Covid shutdown which made everything a little more difficult. She is very easy to work with and I would definitely recommend that you call her to help you with your housing needs.

Sandy Rissler

A friend introduced us to Wendy to list our house and right away you could tell that she was very personable and organized.

Within days of listing our house , we accepted an offer and Wendy was on top of everything even when she was out of town. She was always quick to respond back to our calls and texts and kept us informed on what was happening the whole time till it was sold. If you want someone who is passionate about what they do and is thorough, then you want Wendy!!

James Provoznik (Home seller)

You couldn’t ask for a better realtor than Barbie.

She went above and beyond and spent months working with us, working just as hard after 4 months than the day we started working with her.

Erik Fortney (Apache pilot)

Over the years, I have dealt with numerous Realtors, buying and selling both residential commercial properties.

.......Wendy is the "real deal". Professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and available throughout the process. Call her when you are ready!

Carl Krantz

This was the first house we’ve bought and Vicki helped us so much to understand the whole process of buying a house.

Alyvia Bishop

Vicki was an absolute joy to work with.

We were from out of town and she went above and beyond to FaceTime a couple homes with us to find the right one. She was very helpful in providing information about the area to help us get familiar with Ashland. I would highly recommend Vicki if you are in the market to buy or sell a home.

Tim Little (Regional Manager)

Kristen did the absolute best job for us with finding a great home and selling a home.

She is patient and professional in every aspect and was always willing to answer any questions or talk us through any concerns. There have been times during this process that I have felt overwhelmed, but the fact she was in my corner and available for whatever we needed was such a tremendous help and comfort.

Christa Kalisz (Buyer and Seller)

Vicki Young was the Realtor for the sale of my wife’s former home in Jeromesville.

She met us at the house (we live more than 2 hours drive away) to sign listing papers. She keep us informed regarding the listing and sale of the property. We were very satisfied with her service . She promptly answered both phone and email messages.

David Ellwood (Husband of Owner)

I can't express enough how important Bill was to us in our difficult time dealing with my fathers passing.

He made everything go smoothly and was in contact constantly. What a relief to have a realtor who actually listened to our concerns. I would highly recommend Bill and his staff to anyone who needed a professional, caring realtor. Thank you Bill for everything you did for us !!

Krystal Patton (Executor of my fathers estate)

Wendy Anderson is a dedicated realtor with a great combination of personal traits and skills.

From Day 1, she not only gave us encouragement and very helpful advice but also immediately began gathering information and strategies to expedite the sale of our property. Throughout the 49 days from our first phone call through the closing, she was on top of things and usually several steps ahead for what we’d need next. We definitely recommend working with Wendy - she gets two “5’s” from us!

Gary & Cheryl Hildebrand

Vickie was great from the very beginning as she is very friendly, knew people we knew and got people to repair and inspect the farmhouse.

She listed the house immediately and showed the house often during the Christmas season. She helped us work through a poor appraisal and bank and got the new owners to get a new bank. We talked through the original offer and accepted $12,000 less because she worked so well with both parties. We even increased the acres from 5 to 33. We worked through some family challenges and we were all very happy and excited as to the outcome. Thank you and praying for you all through this virus.
