Cincinnati Real Estate Lady Client Testimonials
“Thank you so much for your commitment to getting my Mom’s house sold. As Administrator to her estate, the past year has been very stressful in many respects, but you made this aspect of my job very simple. You were always there when I had questions and provided good, solid answers, every step of the way. Your direction on how to set a good market asking price was dead on; we saw good inquiries and traffic from the get-go! Awesome! Since Mom’s death, I have dealt with many people and agencies, administrating her estate. No one I have met has shown the professionalism, courtesy, care and compassion you extended to me. Again, thank you; you’re a peach. It has been a pleasure working with you. Rest assured, if the need ever arises, I will be calling on you again!” Kevin K. Cincinnati
“If I had another house in Cincinnati, I’d ask Laraine Shape to sell it. She knows what she’s doing when it comes to real estate. Even though I live in another city, she always made sure I knew what was going on and I had no qualms about trusting her judgment and advice. I feel lucky to have found her.” Jana J. New York
“A million thank yous for all the advice and help you gave me on selling my home. Everything went EXACTLY the way you said it would. The stress is over, thanks again.” (Sent with a dozen roses!) Joe C. Portland Oregon
“You were the perfect realtor for me. I enjoyed your honesty, humor, professionalism, patience, calming spirit, and your AWESOME culinary skills.” Jane M. Mariemont
Laraine, Ian and I just wanted to send you out a thank you for all the help you gave us while finding our first home! We still love it and it’s actually starting to almost sink in that we are home owners! Thank you again. Cat C. Maineville
“Laraine, just a quick thank you for all you did in getting moms property marketed and sold in such a timely manner. You were prompt in our request to meet you. The advise you gave on what to display/remove to make the home most marketable was a huge help. You worked diligently to get the deal closed once you had a buyer. Everything went smooth as silk with the closing and we didn’t even need to make another trip back to Cincinnati. What a big help with all of us being out of town. You were extremely empathic to our situation. Having the purchasers stop by to meet us the final weekend was a nice touch. I would highly recommend your services to any body looking to sell property, but especially if they are out of town. Again thank you for all your help and support during a stressful and difficult time for all of us.” Kevin K. Maineville
Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in getting Dave’s house sold. It’s a real relief to have that taken care of. Dianne D. Deer Park
“I contacted Laraine Shape to handle my mother’s estate property in January of this year. I was looking at a different agent from a different realty company, but was becoming very frustrated at the lack of communication and slow process. I recalled a resume I had received in the mail in January from Laraine and how impressed I was at the time with what I read. I contacted her one day, and we were meeting at my mother’s property the next day. Within a week, the house was on the market. Laraine kept me informed every step of the way and was very up front during the entire process. She did her homework on not only my mother’s neighborhood but the area itself, letting me know the good and bad of the market. The house was sold in about two months. Laraine was supportive through the entire process. She worked with my attorney directly which was helpful to me to know I did not have to supervise that part of the process. She contacted all those involved in the closing process and limited my having to do so. Again, this was a big help to me as well as a stress reliever. I would highly recommend Laraine Shape to handle any property sale. In fact, the experience was so positive, my husband and I plan to use Laraine for when we sell our house. And, if I might add…she bakes wonderful ooey gooey bars!” Linda T. Colerain
“I closed on my property at the end of March this year. I did not have a buying agent and decided to let Laraine work in the best interest of the seller and myself. The property I purchased was an estate sale and was being sold pretty much “as is”. This was my first time buying a “fixer” so as can be expected, I had a lot of questions and needed a fair amount of guidance. Additionally, the property was considered a condominium and was part of an association which added another twist to the transaction. I will say, without a doubt, that I would use Laraine again, and highly recommend her to my friends and family if/when they are looking to buy or sell a property. All phone calls I made were responded to either immediately or within an hour. She did a fantastic job of keeping me updated as to the progress of the deal. Not once did I feel out of the loop. The closing went very smoothly and Laraine dropped the keys off at my office later that day – with a cake and a nice bottle of wine!” Paul A. Mt. Lookout
My wife and I have bought and sold several properties in the past 10 years, with various realtor experiences, some quite disappointing. When we discovered Laraine, we were selling our home in a poor real estate market. Laraine listed our home, and sold it much more quickly than we had expected. We were very pleased with Laraine’s negotiating skills. She thoroughly impressed us, from her complete knowledge of real estate and the real estate market, to her ability to deal with both buyers and sellers, as well as other realtors. Laraine epitomizes the term “real estate pro”. Tom W. Palm Bay
