HomeWise MLS was the perfect solution for us and the sale of our home. If you do any research on real estate you'll soon learn that the vast majority of home purchasers search the internet for homes. Getting on the MLS is crucial for exposure. HomeWise gave us this exposure AND the added benefit of assisting with the paperwork and details associated with selling our home. We sold our home in 5 weeks….via MLS. Save yourself some money and keep the advantages of using a Realtor WITHOUT the added 3%. Thank you Sharon! God bless! March 2009
Wade and Michelle Beck
An exceptional value! The process was relatively
easy and any questions were answered promptly. We
listed our home on the MLS through Sharon's website
on Thursday, December 18 and received a call on
Friday saying a Realtor wanted to bring a client
through our home on Monday. Two days later
(December 24) our house was in contract. And we
received very close to what we were asking -- no
small feat in the current real estate market. We
listed and closed within about 35 days. We
purchased the $399 package but if we had it to do
over again I would probably purchase the $499
package given the service Sharon provided. Even at
that price we cut the normal commission rate by more
than half. Sharon is honest, trustworthy,
thoroughly professional and is a pleasure to work
with. Again, an exceptional value. Thanks
again, Sharon, for all your help, January 2009
(Broker note: Paul got 96% of his asking price and
saved $26,736 in commission compared to a 6%
traditional listing.) January 2009
Steve Hi, Sharon, we have accepted the cash offer on Glenn Lodge—we only made one change to use our title company Lake County Title—THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!! The way you presented our home made it sell!! We love you!!! We are in the process of buying our next one—will list with you when we get it ready! October 2008
Mike and Janet Webster I don't know what I would have done without Sharon and HomeWise! Sharon easily navigated me through process to list my home. We had showings almost every day for 2 weeks and sold our home (even in this crazy market) in 5 weeks. Without the value of the HomeWise program, we wouldn't have been able to sell our house at the price we did or get the reach and exposure that drove so many people to showings. Without Sharon's excellent service, we would have been lost in the overwhelming sea which usually confronts 'for sale by owner' sellers. I literally called a house I saw 'for sale by owner' and told them 'You have to use HomeWise Real Estate. It will be so much better'. Definitely was for us! August 2008
Joel Stanley We had an exceptional experience with Sharon on the sale of our home. In this shaky market she was a great help. From the time she put the information on the listing services until closing she was there every time we called or e-mailed. We had tried for a month to sell it ourselves but realized that we weren’t getting any traffic and yet we didn’t want to pay high Realtor fees. We needed to get the information on the MLS and Realtor.com When we found Sharon and checked her out with the BBB and we were on our way. She was always available with her expertise. As far as we were concerned she did everything that a full service broker could have done and we saved about $5,000. We had lots of traffic and then two offers in one day and she was great at helping us sort things out. She guided us through the offer, the acceptance, and the inspections until the closing even when things didn’t always go smoothly. Even when we were somewhat discouraged at not getting offers she always kept our spirits up. We would certainly recommend Sharon with no reservations. Once our information was on line it was only 2 months before we accepted an offer. Thanks Sharon. You certainly went above and beyond! October 2008
Jane and Ken Shimmin We have used Sharon and HomeWise two different times now and have been very pleased! The set-up of the program is great, and they are very good at communicating about everything going on. It's such a great deal to be able to pay a small fee, get great service, and not have to pay a large commission at the end of the sale! We still managed to sell our house in the worst real estate market in history....we love it and would use this service again for sure. September 2008
Kris Reutzel Sharon and her HomeWise team were instrumental in my selling our home in less than 45 days in this tough market. Her services of offering MLS listing and Realtor.com access at a flat rate is a welcome change to the real estate industry and saves the seller thousands of dollars in commissions. If I had a question, it was as simple as an email or phone call. The Centralized Showing Service was great and always professional. I would recommend her team to anyone looking to market their home, wants sound advice from a professional and has some understanding of the process. September 2008
Ken Staats
Your '...program worked very well.
Very easy setup and getting the listing in the mls
is key. Thank you again for your program!!!'
September 2008 My wife and I decided to move this past year to get closer to family when a job opportunity presented itself. We had concerns about my wife finding a job (which she did) and of course selling our house is such a challenging market. Sharon Jebavy was VERY helpful, honest, and accommodating with our needs. We feel very fortunate and blessed to have worked with HomeWise and Sharon to sell our house within a couple of months! August 2008
Clint and Laura Keifer
For us going with HomeWise Real Estate was a
very simple decision. We tried selling our house
"for sale by owner" for over a year and were
unsuccessful. After just a few months on the MLS
with HomeWise, our house was sold. I found that
HomeWise was the most cost-effective way to
sell our home. With the housing market being as
poor as it was, we needed to save money every way we
could. My thinking was, "why pay thousands of
dollars to a traditional listing agent, when we
could pay a one-time fee and keep our house on the
MLS indefinitely?" To us, it was a no-brainer.
Not to mention, Sharon made herself available to
us all hours of the day - she even took a call from
me while she was at a family picnic! In hindsight,
we have no regrets in using HomeWise, and
would use them again and have already recommended
their services to others. August 2008 From start to finish, listing our home with Sharon Jebavy has been a blessing. Sharon is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, and makes herself readily available to her clients. She was more than willing to share tips and insights with us, as well as offer us advice on our listing. We feel she went above and beyond what any Realtor would do for their sellers, and we were thrilled! We have sincerely loved getting to know Sharon and are extremely thankful to her for sharing her talents with us in getting our home sold. Thank you for all you do, Sharon... we will happily recommend you to all our friends who decide to sell their homes. August 2008
Chris and Colleen Christensen
For the second time,
we just sold our home using Sharon Jebavy of
HomeWise. We recommend her services to
anyone wanting to sell a home without paying
full Realtor commission. There are no hidden
fees. Her processes are streamlined and her
responses to our questions have been very prompt
and always friendly. Thanks, Sharon. You saved
us thousands of dollars! July 2008
Paul and Becki Czerwonka
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
Thank you so much. Working with HomeWise
was easy and it worked. You sent me an unrepresented
buyer and she gave us a valid offer. In two
weeks we sold our home in Delphos! Thanks again.
June 2008 Spencer J. Dannemiller (sold through Cincinnati MLS) Our experience in selling our home through HomeWise Real Estate was stellar from start to finish. Sharon Jebavy made sure that our Springboro house was listed on both the Dayton and Cincinnati MLS and she cheerfully and promptly made changes to the listings as we requested. She was always happy to answer our questions. Not to mention that Sharon is a very personable and pleasant person to work with. Our house had been listed with a couple of Realtors without offers over the past two and a half years----thanks to HomeWise and Sharon, even in this depressed real estate market we got plenty of traffic and were SOLD in what seemed no time at all! Thanks, Sharon! June 2008
Jim and Darlene Southern I found your services to be exactly what I needed. I applaud and will recommend you to other people in my same situation. I was very pleased with how things worked out. Thanks for offering a great way to sell a house! June 2008
Joe Rings Working with HomeWise was a great experience. Sharon had our listing posted within 1 day and the calls started coming in within a couple of days. Our home was in contract within three weeks of listing with HomeWise. Thanks for all the assistance. June 2008
Lauren Keeler
Our flat fee listing through HomeWise Real Estate brought many potential buyers to our home, resulting in a quick sale. The people at HomeWise were prompt, professional, and helpful. The service was exactly as advertised and represents great value. Thank you. May 2008
Brent and Cathy Armentrout Use of HomeWise really saved me quite a lot of money. It was fast and very easy to setup at a very low cost. It provided a lot of exposure for our house to local Realtors that we would not have had without paying large Realtor fees. In addition, I really learned a lot about the home sale process that I would not have otherwise been exposed to. I was able to sell my house in less than 6 months which is quite remarkable considering the current market in Sandusky. For anyone looking to keep costs for a house sale down, I highly recommend this service. February 2008
Phil & Dana Skavnak
Sharon provides a very high value
service: we saved $6,600.....with Sharon's help
getting listed on the MLS. Sharon is extremely
knowledgeable, and she's more responsive than
any other Realtor we've ever used, with rarely
more than an hour going by between a phone call,
fax or e-mail and Sharon's response. We give
HomeWise two enthusiastic thumbs up. Thank you!

Faith Daniel
Sharon, I just
wanted to drop you a quick note on the sale of
our home. We felt all along that the house would
show well and our biggest need was getting the
word out to the prospective buyers. Your service
was just what we needed. The MLS listing brought
in the buyers and we had a steady stream of
showings. The bottom line is
the house sold in 2 1/2 weeks. Many thanks
for all of your help. January 2008
Sean Kilbane
(sold through Columbus MLS) It was a pleasure working with you and your company. Thank you for all the suggestions. I truly believe that instead of being a for sale by owner, this is the way to go to save a lot of money. The exposure to the MLS really paid off. Thanks! January 2008
Michael King
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
IT IS A DONE DEAL. THE MONEY IS IN THE
BANK!!!!! Thank you for your assistance along
the way. It has been a pleasure doing business
with you. I would be happy to recommend you to
anyone. November 2007 Thank you for providing excellent and responsive service. Brokers attempted so many times to take away the business from HomeWise, but I would not do it. Sure a broker can find a buyer to bid a low ball price and then the owner ends up paying 6+%. Bravo to you for creating HomeWise, especially in a market as weak as Cleveland, since owners are in a tough position as it is. All you need is your house listed on the MLS and a lockbox. Again, terrific job. Thank you! September 2007
Kathleen Novak
All went super
smoothly at closing yesterday. The buyers
are happy, we are happy, so all is great.
Thanks for all of your help. You were
always a phone call or email away. We are
so happy we found your website and used your
services for the sale of our home. We have
told our friends how happy we were with the
whole process. Hopefully, should any ever
sell their homes they will call on us for
your information. I am sure they will...who
wouldn't want to get your great service and
save so much money at the same time.
THANKS SO MUCH !!! Another successful sale
for HomeWise! September 2007

Christine Cooney
(sold through Cleveland MLS)
When it came time to sell my home,
the market was slow and picky and I needed to sell
relatively quickly while netting as much money as
possible. I considered full service agents, and
other lesser service agencies such as Help-U-Sell.
I knew the house looked good and what price it would
bring (be realistic here folks). What I needed was
MLS and internet exposure. Sharon was perfect.
Within two days I had a sign, lock box and was all
over the internet. Agents looking in my area
immediately saw the listing on their MLS and the
buyers started flowing. I sold within about a month
and netted more than I dared hope. So I used her
again to help me buy a house. I closed on my new
home this week and saved thousands using Sharon.
Sharon, it was a pleasure to deal
with you. You were there at every step to help
us get the best possible deal and still save
thousands. I will make it a point to refer all
my friends to you who are looking to sell their
properties. You are the best !! July

Manix & Jeya Appunni
(sold through Columbus MLS)
Sharon, I wanted to
thank you for all the help in selling my home.
With the housing market being slow, you were
able to help me sell my house fast and cut
commissions by 60% saving my family $6,600.00.
You made the process as simple as it gets! I
will recommend you to all my friends and family.
July 2007
David A Gormley, MBA
(sold through Cleveland MLS)
Thanks a million for all your help!
You have been wonderful to work with. You
absolutely can use my comments for your website. I
will never use another Realtor again! June 2007
Just a quick note to thank you for
all your help in the recent sale of our home. After
18 months on the market with two different
"traditional" real estate agents, and not a single
offer, we were beginning to think we'd never sell.
Yet within 3 months of listing with HomeWise, we had
an offer and within 2 more months, the house was
sold (for more than the asking price)! Your
innovative, flat- fee program allowed us to price
our home more aggressively in a buyer's market, and
that was our key to success. At the same time,
you were more responsive and helpful than either of
the full service agents we had worked with.
Thanks again for providing a valuable alternative in
today's changing world. I will definitely
recommend you and your company to others...in fact,
I already have! May 2007 Sharon, very nice service. Our house listed on MLS through your program and got a lot of traffic. We are so happy that our house was sold within half year in such soft real estate market and saved 3% of commission! Thanks a bunch!!! May 2007
Regards,
Sharon, I could not believe how easy it was to
sell our house in Cincinnati through your
company. It was a breeze and you were available
for questions at a moment's notice. We were
very nervous doing this on our own but you
tailored your service to fit out needs. We had
27 showings in 2 weeks and had five offers! Our
buyer did not use an agent which saved us money
as well so we didn't even have to pay the 3% to
a selling agent. It was fantastic! We will
never use a traditional real estate service and
will recommend this to our friends. May

The Kennedys
(sold through Cincinnati MLS) Sharon made the process as smooth as possible. I found it rather easy to save thousands of dollars! The way the market is today, you need to make your price as competitive as possible. Using Sharon allows you to do that without compromising your bottom line. April 2007
Fara Gyurcsik Sharon, I am so glad Seth and Kate Mercer referred me to your website. I was able to lower the price on my home by having the lower realtor commissions. Believe it or not, you uploaded my home to the MLS and three days later I had 2 separate offers presented to me. Both were at my listing price! I will definitely recommend you to friends and neighbors! April 2007 Wendy Jennings (sold through Dayton MLS) Brittany and I sold our house last week and I wanted to thank you. First of all we are very appreciative of your excellent customer service and responsiveness. We have many friends that used traditional realtors that did not get the kind of quick response to questions that we always got from you. Secondly we are thankful that you had the forethought and insight to offer such a progressive and valuable service. The flat fee commission structure is sure to become a much more common tool for home sellers in the future and I’m delighted that we were able to use your service to sell our home. March 2007.
Paul Hoy "Put it online and let the buyer's agents do the work! Thank you Sharon, you saved me $5,606 on the sale of my $203,000 house in Westerville! You gave me the solid advice when I needed it, and put the listing online quickly, the buyers' agents brought the buyers, and we got a quick sale. I can't believe that I almost gave that much money to someone who simply takes pictures, prints brochures and puts the house in the MLS. It only took me a day to put it all together! I will never buy a house without a full-service broker on my side, and never hesitate to pay a buyer's agent 3%, but when I'm the seller, Sharon's flat-fee service is exactly what I need!" March 2007.
Mike Close
My primary reason
for going with Sharon was because I did not feel
I needed to pay someone over $4000 dollars to do
the talking for me. I initially went with no
MLS presence and spent money I probably wasted
on newspaper advertising. I was aware of
Sharon's type of house selling and found her on
the internet. For about $500 I got all the
exposure I needed. Selling my house in less
than 4 months in a very tough market. Real
estate related issues that I needed answers to
were a phone call away, day or night. Because
the buyer did not use a real estate agent I
saved even more ... thanks Sharon!

Mark Cook
There is absolutely no need to
pay a full 6% commission to have a real estate
company sell your home. Sharon Jebavy/HomeWise listed
our home in the MLS, providing all the
information to the Realtors interested in
showing my property. We paid the selling
Realtor a 3% commission. Sharon thoroughly
explained everything, was there practically 24/7
to offer advice and there were no hidden fees!
October 2006
Sherry Mullin We were so glad selling our house with you was so easy. If you get anyone in the Cleveland area who would like to talk with us before signing up with HomeWise, feel free to give them our phone number. We would gladly give you and your staff a good recommendation! Thanks again and take care! September 2006 Chrissy
Fitzgerald The greatest experience of all working with Sharon was that I personally, not for a second, felt any difference between so called “full service” and her perfect flat fee MLS deal. For every showing, either Sharon's office or the showing agent would call to schedule the appointment......with Sharon, in the slow real estate market, I managed to net the amount higher than otherwise would be in the hottest market with the “full service” agents involved! Her service saved me between 12 and 15K and for most of us – that's a whole lot of money. Sharon is the future of real estate in this country! September 2006
Yevgeny A. Smolyansky
We could price our
house lower with the flat listing fee.
Realtor's brought the buyer's knowing they were
guaranteed payment. We are extremely satisfied
with your exceptional service and would highly recommend.
Thanks! August 2006
The Widmans (sold through Firelands MLS) Sharon, I would like to THANK YOU for helping us sell our house. The money you saved us would have been worth a degree of lessened service. But, that was not the case at all. Your service far out weighs your cost. Thank you again. August 2006
Joel Foster
Sharon, we
can't thank you enough for your help with
selling our home--your system is great! We
estimate we saved nearly $10,000! Your support,
your advice and your ability to work through any
issues that arose were invaluable. We would
recommend you to anyone! August 2006

very helpful during a stressful time. I would
recommend HomeWise to anyone.
August 2006
Darin & Meredith Dittman I first tried to sell my house using a traditional agent during the premium (before school starts) house buying period. By the time the contract expired, school had already started and we were into the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons with limited buyer interest. I decided to try HomeWise. After all, I could cancel at anytime without a penalty and if I found the buyer Sharon would help on the closing. I was immediately impressed with the care and attention to detail provided by Sharon. Even in this tough buyer's market, we had more showings than with the previous agent. Sharon helped throughout the negotiation process and provided money saving advice. Web site updates were virtually done within hours and showings were arranged seamlessly through a showing service. Sharon will not take advantage of you and will always work toward your best interest. I plan to use HomeWise on every future sale. Thank you so much and look forward to working with you again. August 2006
Doug Uhren
Hi Sharon, I just want to say it
again - 'Thank you' for the great service I have
received from you. Having experienced selling
2 houses (one in Westerville, one at Dublin) over
the last 5 years, gone through 2 'full-service'
Realtors before using your service, I have to say
you are the best! You have not only brought
huge savings to our sale, but also provided great
service and attention to us from start to end.
Unlike some real estate agents promised or hinted
before getting our business, you just set everything
simple and straight, and were so responsive to every
single question we had. I have no doubt - you are
the future of the real estate market! Again,
thank you, and best wishes to your business!
August 2006
I
wanted to thank you for your help with the house
sale process. You have been very helpful and I
appreciated all of your quick responses to
everything. I will certainly recommend you to
anyone that may be moving! I will drop off the
signs for you today. If you’re not home, I’ll just
leave them on your front porch! July 29006 In this tight market, I’d highly recommend using HomeWise. We were able to price our house lower than comparable houses in our neighborhood, which made our house very attractive to potential buyers and enabled us to go into contract within 3 months while many other homes still sit on the market. Ultimately, HomeWise helped us to save over $4,000. Thanks, Sharon! July 2006.
Bryce Bares Thanks for all your help! Our closing went off without a hitch! HomeWise is the way of the future. I had a personal referral to Sharon, and she came through on all fronts. She was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and accessible. I will definitely use HomeWise in the future. July 2006
Prashanth Bhat Our experience with HomeWise was convenient and saved us around $3,000 in commission. We sold our land within the first few showings. The closing was set up with two phone calls and went off without a hitch. June 2006.

Why pay huge listing agent fees?
Who knows your house better than you? I
sold my house through Sharon's web site while
the two other Realtor signs in our community are
still in the front yards. The sellers will have
to raise their price 3% to cover their seller's
agent fee. How can they compete with
someone having to pay only one agent fee to the
buyers agent? I had every client who saw
the houses listed with the other two real estate
companies also come to see my house. Sharon and
her team gets your listing up in a day, posts
many pictures on Realtor.com with a scrolling
headline and happily make any changes to your
listing. Good luck!! June 2006
Michael Simons The process was very simple to sign up for this service. The reason why I went with this company is because Sharon was always extremely responsive in answering my questions before I signed up. She was just as responsive during the selling process and we ended up selling our home in only 2 weeks! This is a great service for anyone like myself who cannot get enough traffic from trying to sell by owner - I definitely recommend this to anyone. June 2006
Anthony Staman
We couldn't be happier with how
this process has gone. We will certainly refer
you to our friends in the area that will be
selling their homes in the future.
Thank you! June 2006

I was referred to Sharon Jebavy
and HomeWise by a friend who had great
success in using this service. I, too,
experienced the same success. My home was for
sale a year earlier with a traditional Realtor
for 8 months with very few showings and no
offer. I sold my home through HomeWise in
less than 3 months and Sharon was there to
assist me every step of the way. It was a great
experience and I'd highly recommend this service
to anyone selling their home. Why would you pay
more for the same service?
Michael Bjorklund Thank you very much for all you have done. This was the first time we used a flat rate Realtor in selling a home. What a great experience, it sold faster than any other home we have listed, and we saved....$16k compared a full service broker. From the day we contacted you to the day we closed on the house and received the funds, 49 days. Days on market, 26. What a deal! Thanks again and best of luck with expanding this business. May 2006

Thanks for your great service and
good luck to you,

Your expertise helped
make this an easy experience for me.
Getting the MLS listing was critical to
getting the condo shown. You
were thorough in follow up and
gaining insight from feedback.
And you allowed me to negotiate
effectively for the best results. All
that, and I saved over $6,000 in fees.
I'm extremely happy that I found you and
your way of selling property. I
recommend your services without
hesitation. Thanks again. May 2006

This was the easiest way to sell
our house! Our house listing was posted on the MLS
on Saturday and our buyer came to the house on
Sunday! Not a bit of stress! Sharon took care of
everything! I can't thank her enough! April 2006

Our house was in contract in a week
after listing with HomeWise. The listing processes
are clear and simple. Sharon was awesome.. She
really
went beyond just listing our property on MLS.
Sharon always answered our calls and replied our
emails quickly, as well as gave us her professional
recommendation for our questions and concerns.
Sharon, we appreciated your services and supports.
I will definitely recommend your company to others I
know. Thank you! April 2006

Closing went well and the house is nearly cleaned out. I just wanted to say “THANK YOU” for all of your help during our sale. We were so pleased with the service you provided us and it was just an incredibly easy process. I wish we would have went with you earlier in the process but the timing worked out perfectly! Our new house will be done on Feb 15th and we’re living with my in-laws for just a couple of weeks.
I wanted to give you a heads up – we have 2 referrals coming your way. They’ll be moving in the summer. The neighbor 2 doors down have been trying to sell on their own for about 8 months or so at least. She called me last night to get your information. I am not sure if they’ll call or not but I sure told her how satisfied we were!! Best of luck to you and should we ever move again, we’ll definitely be looking you up!!! All of our friends will definitely be hearing about you too! January 2006

can't thank you enough for your advice and
assistance in getting our home sold in less than 30

After trying to sell my condo FSBO for three months I came across Sharon’s website. I signed up with hopes to be listed by the weekend. You can imagine my surprise when she called Friday morning and had booked three showings! The very first showing was that same night which resulted in a great offer and solid contract- in less than 24 hours! Listing with HomeWise could not have been easier or more effective. July 2005
Chris
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
Our experience with HomeWise was so outstanding we felt it was necessary to share our story with others.
Because my wife and I were getting married, it was necessary to sell both of our homes. My wife listed her home first with a full service Realtor and was very disappointed with the experience. We were constantly being told when to leave and then having our time changed without notice. We contemplated selling our houses ourselves (who would be better than the owner at selling the house?) but were unsure about writing a contract or how to advertise it? Luckily we came across HomeWise. Since our house was listed on the MLS we were contacted by both Realtors and by buyers who were on there own. Together, we saved over $13,000 in commissions by using HomeWise!!!
Perhaps the greatest part of our HomeWise experience was our representative, Sharon Jebavy. She answered every question we had with an extremely quick response; we also had the benefit of Sharon’s experience during contact negotiations which was refreshing. She never pressured us into taking an offer we felt was low. Instead she helped negotiate our counteroffer to our satisfaction. Sharon is a true professional. Honestly, she made our home sale so delightful we cannot wait to refer her to anyone selling a home. From the bottom of our hearts...Thank You Sharon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note expressing our gratitude with helping us sell our house. You were always available no matter what hour to answer e-mails, or phone calls with any questions we had. Most of all, it was really nice working with such a nice person who has many years of experience in the real estate market. Thank you so much for all your help and if anyone has doubt that you can save a lot of money using your service have him or her send me an e-mail and I’ll set them straight. I plan on using your service again in 2 years when we sell again so keep on spreading the word, as I will do the same. June 2005

“When I signed up, I thought I was just getting a listing within the MLS, but it ended up being much more then that. Sharon assisted us in all aspects of the negotiations and closing, provided and explained all the needed documents and contracts and was extremely responsive. I sold my house after 5 days on the MLS, saved approximately $7,000.00 and can’t imagine ever paying a full commission listing agent again. Needless to say, I was very happy with Sharon’s service. Thanks!" June 2005.

"I sold my house quickly through
HomeWise, and saved thousands in the process. Iwould
highly recommend Sharon to buyers who want to avoid
the traditional 5, 6, 7 or even 8% expense of a
Realtor, yet still have a Realtor there to answer
questions and handle the contract. If I move again,
I'll call HomeWise first." May 2005

Broker Direct was great! We were so happy with how well everything worked out. We were apprehensive at first, but after speaking to Sharon, we felt confident that she would take care of our listing. Sharon provided good advice during the whole process. We will definitely use Broker Direct in the future! Thanks! June 2005

"Thanks for all your help Sharon. Please feel free to use us on your website as very happy customers. At first we were hesitant to place our house on the market without a full service realtor. However after doing more research we found out that a listing agent does little besides listing and putting it on a site like Realtor.com. Listing with HomeWise got us all the same exposure that listing with a full service Realtor gets...and we got lots of interested buyers. You were extremely helpful throughout the process, even helping us negotiate our contract. Our house sold in a little over 3 weeks (the average time on the market in our neighborhood is 41 days). We would recommend HomeWise to anyone...you have nothing to lose". May 2005

We definitely recommend Sharon! Our FSBO listing in the local paper got us little traffic. After Sharon listed our home, we had over 15 showings in the first two weeks and received three offers in less than a month! We saved over $5000 in Realtor fees! The up-front fee was well worth the exposure our home received. Thanks for offering such terrific service! May 2005

Selling our house through HomeWise has been a great experience. We were able to price our house very competitively and walk away with more. Aside from the financial benefits, we felt we were in great hands with Sharon. She was always responsive to our questions and helped us through the entire process - going above and beyond! The web site was a great tool for understanding the process as well. Selling a house can be a challenging experience, and we are very glad we went with HomeWise. We will be recommending Sharon to anyone we know selling a house - without reservation. She truly lives her motto and has been a blessing to us! April 2005

Sharon Jebavy (HomeWise) offered exactly what I needed. I wanted to list my house myself, but knew that without listing on MLS the chances of finding a buyer were slim. By doing the proper research, setting your price appropriately and using Sharon’s service you will sell your house quickly. Mine sold in 6 days. March 2005

My experience with Sharon Jebavy
(HomeWise) has been the most affordable and
rewarding experience. Before we came to Sharon, we
had our home on the market for a month and a half
without real success. Through Sharon's flat fee
service we were able to list our home immediately
through the MLS Listing. Sharon responded to all of
our questions and phone calls right away! In
just 24 hours from the initial listing we had 4
showings on our home and signed a contract in
exactly one week!! I thank God for Sharon's
service and I recommend everyone who wants to sell
and save on their home to contact Sharon Jebavy at
HomeWise. March 2005

I just wanted you to know how pleased we are with your service. Our home sold in just three days after being on the MLS and Realtor.com. We are so happy we decided to sell our home by owner along with your flat fee service. A full service Realtor would have cost us about $15,000. Now we will only pay about $6,000 including the flat fee and the buyer's agent's commission. Thank you for all your help and expertise. March 2005

I had a great experience working with Sharon. Her Flat Fee service saved me over $3,500.00 in commission. I was told by a Realtor that I would have a 16% chance of selling my house by myself, but with Sharon's service and help I accepted an offer one week after my house went up on the MLS. Sharon was there for me at any time when I had a question. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family that are looking to sell. Thank you Sharon for all your help!! March 2005

We signed on with Sharon's service on
a Friday. She had our home listed online on the MLS
by the end of the day.
It sold for our listing price on Sunday, exactly two
days later! March 2005

Our genuine thanks for helping us
sell our house quickly without the inflated
commission rates in the prevailing real estate
market. You were professional, straightforward, and
very knowledgeable in your industry. We are truly
grateful for your innovative business model and your
ability to take charge of the process.
We will recommend your services to our friends and
family. February 2005

"I am very happy I decided to use a Flat Fee Listing. The $499 was well worth it to save nearly $7000. If you know how to take pictures and make a flyer, you can do this with Sharon! In Columbus Sharon had to call me with showing requests and then I called the potential buyer's Realtor back to confirm the showing. It was up to me to follow up with the Realtors who showed it to see what the feedback and client interest was. The actual contract offer process, negotiated directly by me with the buyer's Realtor worked very easy. We just used email or Fax and had things settled in just a few days. I had bought and sold a home before so the contract part of things wasn't a problem. Sharon provided me with expert advice when I asked for it. Her sign in my front yard attracted drive-by interest as did the www.realtor.com listing. The MLS is the key to having other Realtors find your property. I used a lock-box to allow other Realtors to come in and complete showings while I was gone. I didn't find it very helpful trying to do an Open House - not that much traffic and lots of time, these were not serious buyers. I also didn't have any response to a Columbus Dispatch classified ad that I tried. Again, a sign in the yard, MLS listing and an internet listing are all I needed to sell my home!" (This home had been on the market for six months prior to listing with Broker Direct.) February, 2005
