Client Testimony
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

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

Sharon, thank you very much!!
Excellent service! I would strongly
recommend Sharon's program to the home
sellers. The experience with Sharon and
the HomeWise service was
extremely delightful. She
understands what you need and provides
you advice that helps get you through
the selling process. She is very
patient and knowledgeable. With
Sharon's assistance, I sold my home
within a month! Thanks so much!

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.

HomeWise was instrumental in my selling my
home. I saved nearly $9,000.00
in Realtor costs!! I will surely use them
again the next time I sell a home. 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
(sold through Dayton MLS)
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
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
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
(sold through Columbus MLS)
Sharon, many, many thanks again for
your help, advice and encouragement. Within two
weeks of listing with you, we sold our house...after
6 months of being listed with another realtor and
having no offers. The process was easy, clear
and wonderfully smooth. Not only did we finally
unload our biggest burden, but we saved over $10,000
thanks to your services. We were able to get
quite close to asking. I can't believe how
quickly this happened after hiring you! We should
have done this from day one. I've recommended your
services to at least two people already! I
truly can't say enough fantastic things about you
and Home Wise. Thank you from the bottom of my
heart! June 2008
Megan Morseth
(sold through Columbus MLS)
Sharon and HomeWise helped me sell my
condominium in four weeks. Sharon was very
responsive to changes to my listing. Showings were
made easy with a lock box. Because of the
commission savings, I was able to price my property
such that it sold quickly. I ended up with as much
money as other people in my complex who used full
service brokers will get when their units sell- if
and when their units sell. I would recommend
HomeWise to anyone. June 2008
Brian Bolan
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
Sharon,
many thanks for your services that you rendered for
listing our home for sale on Columbus MLS. Also, we
wish to thank you for forwarding feedbacks on time
after each viewing and answering our emails even at
late nights. Because of commission savings we were
able to price the property to sell. Many
thanks for arranging the plumbing services and
fixing the issue which buyers requested after the
home inspection while we were out-of –town. Your
services were
impeccable. May 2008
Mr. & Mrs. Ravi Shankar, Powell
(sold through Columbus MLS)
| I found the service very
easy to use and you were always available to
answer questions or update the listing.
Overall a very good value and great
alternative to a full service company.
Thanks for all your help with the process!

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
Tipp City, OH
(sold through Dayton MLS)
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
(sold through Firelands MLS)
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
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
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!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
IT IS A DONE DEAL. THE MONEY IS IN THE

the way. It has been a pleasure doing business
with you. I would be happy to recommend you to
anyone. November 2007
Penny and Fred Lemerise
(sold through Cleveland MLS)
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
Formerly of Cleveland
(sold through Cleveland MLS)
Sharon - I wanted to take this
opportunity to say "thank you" for all of your help
and assistance in the recent sell of my home. The
service you offer through Home Wise made it possible
for me to offer my home at the most attractive price
possible and therefore sell the property in even
today's very difficult market. Furthermore, I
really appreciate your timely assistance and advise
on negotiating and closing the deal. You may
rest assured, I will definitely refer all of my
friends and family to you and without question, will
look to you for assistance in any future real estate
transactions. Thank you again!

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

HomeWise Real Estate

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.
My experience couldn't have been better. Sharon is
extremely knowledgeable (don't forget, she's a
broker not an agent) and knows how to get deals
done...right. Her professionalism and integrity
were central to the way she dealt with the other
parties in the transaction and me. I flat out
recommend her. You can bet she will be involved in
my future transactions. August 2007
Craig Smith (ask me for Craig's email address!)
(sold through Columbus MLS, bought through
Cincinnati MLS)
The service you provided put my home in front of the
right people. From the beginning we had showings
almost every week. Within about two months we had
two offers. Sharon was very accommodating in every
way. I would not hesitate to use her services again.
July 2007
Paul Hauwiller (home seller with check in hand!)
(sold through Dayton MLS)
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

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

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
Lisa Musick
(sold through Columbus MLS)
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
Gina and Brian George
(sold through Columbus MLS)
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,
Lisa Wu and Frank Shi
(sold through Columbus MLS)
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
2007
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
(sold through Columbus MLS)
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
(sold through Columbus MLS)
"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
(sold through Columbus MLS)
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!
November 2006
Mark Cook
(sold through Cleveland MLS)
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
(sold through CRIS MLS) 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
(sold through Cleveland MLS)
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
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
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
(sold through Dayton MLS)
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

Darin & Meredith Dittman
(sold through Columbus MLS)
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
(sold thru the Columbus MLS)
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
Sean Du & Holly Yong
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
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
Lisa Hughes
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
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
(sold through the Columbus

Thanks for all your help! Our closing went off
without a hitch!
HomeWise
is the way of the future. I had a personal

fronts. She was professional, knowledgeable,
courteous and accessible. I will definitely use
HomeWise in
the future. July 2006
Prashanth Bhat
(sold through the Dayton MLS)
Our experience with HomeWise was convenient
and saved us around $3,000 in commission. We sold

Mark and Heather Williams
(sold through the Cleveland MLS)
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
(sold through the Dayton MLS)
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
(sold through the Cleveland MLS)
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
Alison Mackey
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
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?
May 2006
Michael Bjorklund
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
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

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
Kathy Sheldon
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
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

Dan Bertram
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
"We sold our house 14 days
after listing with HomeWise. It was such
a wonderful relief knowing that we had someone
working with us, along the way. Selling a
house can be a stressful situation, but not
with HomeWise. Sharon was fabulous.
She always readily answered our calls and
emails, which gave us a terrific peace of mind.
THANK YOU, SHARON! We would list with you
again, in a heartbeat." April 2006
Corey & Jaclyn Raub

Sharon, my house sold in
less than 30 days; that's hard to beat. Your customer service
and knowledge of the real estate market is
outstanding. I would use you again if I was
staying in Ohio. It was a pleasure
working with you. March 2006

"Just a quick note to let you
know how much we appreciated your support in the
sale of our home. With HomeWise Real

had great exposure. Appointments were a breeze
the feedback program extremely helpful. This
was a great option for us with successful
results!" January 2006
Ed & Rima
(sold through the Columbus MLS)
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

When I signed up for the service
online, I was just looking for a MLS posting at a
reasonable price. What I got was someone who was
there every step of the way and really helped my
wife and me sell our home. When we called, you
answered. When we emailed, you replied quickly. We
can't thank you enough for your advice and
assistance in getting our home sold in less than 30
days on the market! THANK YOU. December

'Sharon, thank
you oh so much for your assistance in selling
our home. As you know, we were SO VERY
surprised at the level of service you provided
once buyers approached us. We really thought
that we would be on our own, but you stepped in
and helped us structure our response and the
entire process… And of course without saying,
you saved us money we are now putting towards
our new house! THANK YOU!' October 2005

'We sold our house approximately
3 weeks after listing with Sharon and saved
around $6,000. Sharon provided us with all
the necessary paperwork and was available for
questions and support whenever we needed her.
This is absolutely the only way to go when
selling your home.' October 2005

Sharon, we had to say thank
you, for all your help in selling our house.
I had 2 Realtors before you and your service
was better than theirs and you saved us a
boat load of money. Without your help I
don't know what we would have done.
God did Bless us
and may God continue to Bless you.
Thanks again. September 2005

Just wanted to send a

PS- Interesting article
in the Wall Street Journal today. :) I was
surprised to see you on the front page!
(Webmaster's Note: Article appeared October 12,
2005.) I remember you mentioning something
along the lines of removing the for sale by owner
sign from my yard at the beginning and now I
understand why. ...good luck and thanks
again.' September 2005
'Sharon,
thank you for making the sale of our home go so
smoothly. You were always available,
without hesitation, to answer any questions we
had (and I had a lot). We would recommend
your experience & services to anyone wanting
to sell their home. We have saved
thousands of dollars with HomeWise Real Estate !!
Thank You so MUCH!' September 2005

"The team at HomeWise in Central Ohio saved
me TIME and MONEY. We were FSBO and then
opted to try HomeWise. With the MLS listing
Sharon posted, showings increased 300% within
48 hours." September 2005
Don Hallett
(sold through
the Columbus MLS)
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 Home Wise 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

Using this service was fantastic! It is

trying to sell their house! June

“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.

Sharon's program was the perfect
solution for us to sell an investment property
in Springfield. Sharon responded to all
my questions promptly and professionally. I am
currently using her program to sell another home
and plan to use this method for future
properties. I think it is a great value, it
provides all the exposure without the high cost.

"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

The Flat Fee MLS program through HomeWise
Real Estate Services and Sharon Jebavy worked
like a dream. I booked numerous showings in
Toledo from my home in Florida. Using Sharon's
web site I printed flyers and she was always
available for help and support. When a real
estate agent questioned this new program, I
would show them how they would get their
standard buying agent's commission. Not a
problem after that. In the end I had two
parties bidding on my home. One at above full
price by an agent...and one by private party
without an agent or commission. That was a
great position to be in. I would highly
recommend Sharon to anyone interested in
maximizing efforts to sell their home. May

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!

"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
David & Lisa Smith
(sodl through Columbus MLS)
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

"Using Home Wise was
so simple! We were able to utilize the MLS
where every serious buyer searches for a home,
yet not pay a huge listing commission. This
saved us money which we used to put down on the
home of our dreams! Thanks to HomeWise,
we have gained greater confidence in selling
real estate. I would highly recommend this
service to anyone." April 2005
Christine
(sold through Cincinnati MLS)
HomeWise was an easy choice
when selling my home. I saved thousands of dollars
in commission and was still listed on the MLS and
Realtor.com. I have already recommended the service
to others looking for an economical way to sell
their home. Thanks for your help, Sharon!

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
Michael Stahl

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.

Diane Kincaid

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

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

ability to take charge of the process.
We will recommend your services to our friends and

"I have a contract on my house within only two
weeks! A Realtor sold it through my MLS
listing. When I spoke to "listing" Realtors, no
one could convince me they would work extra hard
to sell for me. They did try to convince
me that other Realtors would not show my home
because it was listed "flat fee". Well, they
were obviously only trying to get the extra 3%
for doing nothing more than filling out papers.
In one week I had so many calls I couldn't keep
track of them all. My house was shown 7 times
in two weeks! The closing is in about
three weeks. You may use me as a reference
because this is a true success story. Plus, if I had sold the home
myself, I would not have had to pay any
commission. Since
I am in the business of buying and selling homes
you can bet I'll be back for more of your "flat
fee" listing services!" February, 2005
Craig Parrish
(sold through the CRIS MLS)
"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
