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!  July 2008

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

                   Greg Youngpeter
                   (sold through West Central Ohio Association of Realtors MLS)

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

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

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

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

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!   May 2008

                     Chris Lyons
                     (sold through Cincinnati MLS)

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

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!  February 2008

                      (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!  January 2008

                      Michael King
                      (sold through Cleveland MLS)

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

                      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

                       (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!   August 2007

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 Services is just what the customer ordered: A fantastic and affordable alternative to traditional Realtor listings AND an alternative to "For Sale By Owner" that actually works.  Thanks!  August 2007

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

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 2007

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

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,

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

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

                       (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

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.

"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

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

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

                         (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

HomeWise Real Estate saved us $6,400.00 in realty fees on the sale of our home.  The service was timely and Sharon was very helpful during a stressful time.  I would recommend HomeWise to anyone.  August 2006

                       (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

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

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 MLS)

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
                       (sold through the Dayton MLS)

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.

                       (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

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?

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

                       (sold through the Cleveland MLS)

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

"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

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

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

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 2005

'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

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

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

"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

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

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   June 2005

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.

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.  May 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

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 2005

Broker Direct was great!  We were so happy with how well everything worked out.

"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

"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

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

"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

"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.)
