What People Say
To Coldwell Banker Heritage:
"I am sure Karen O'Grady has earned many letters of recommendation. In this letter she has earned the highest recommendation possible from a very demanding client, despite our extremely high expectations. She continually surprised my wife, Dana, and I with how much value she added at every step of the process. Truly listening, not wasting our time, appreciating our (sometimes extreme) demands, resolving typical as well as some very significant atypical issues, partnering with us and advising us even when her advice was not for her own optimal gain Karen exihibited the highest integrity and worked tirelessly despite odd hours and many real estate challenges. As a senior executive for a billion-dollar finance company, I know top talent when I see it. I can recommend Karen without hesitation or qualification for anyone desiring to maximize their real estate experience."
Stephen Roe
Here is a motto Steve and Dana shared with me: "Listen to what the customer wants. Help achieve the goal or solve the problem...Therefore compete on value, not price". I had them write it down and tried hard to live up to it...now it sits on my desk.
"When we transferred from California Karen O'Grady became our first friend. We were picky and had very little time. We knew we needed a seasoned pro. She found us a homearama home that wasn't completed or even on the market yet. After the closing she directed us to leisure and cultural activities and introduced us to several of her friends with common interest. Karen made us see the power of any city is in the people. Moving is never easy! But, there is a bright side: seeing new horizons, meeting new people and making new friends. Karen was one of the first ".
Scott Simon and Louis Cesarini
"I just love these guys...Louis made selections for the house in less than 3 days and it was later featured in "House Trends" magazine".
"When we came to Dayton Karen first found us a rental and then found us a space for our dream restaurant. After opening the restraunt she helped us find a home. She also put us in touch with the right people to help us with financing, legal issues and remodeling of our restraunt and home. We felt relieved to be working with someone with connections in the community who can make things happen".
Chef and Mrs. Dominique Fortin
Ces't Tout Restraunt
"Well, it's certainly reciprical...everyone, including Ann Heller agrees that "C'est Tout-A Bistro" is a wonderful addition to the Dayton area."
Sure, I am happy to help you out with your website. Here is a testomonial:
"In relocating to the Dayton area, I met with several realtors before choosing one to help me find the home that was just right for me. Karen was clearly the best -well prepared, knowledgeable of the local market, and a great listener. Karen worked with me patiently until we found the home that just felt right. She helped me successfully navigate through the price negotiations. As a result, several years later, I can look back and feel good about the experience. Karen helped me buy a good home at a good value and I am glad that I chose her."
Jerry Doubler
"When Standard Register transferred Jerry into town, although I had worked with the company before, I was nervous about being interviewed as a "buyer agent". It worked out...he is a great communicator - and they almost always find "good listners".
"My parents purchased their home from Karen when they transferred to Dayton with General Motors over 20 years ago. Since that time my wife and I and my brother and sister have all sold and purchased through her. She is capable, caring and knowledgeable and we are always happy to give her name to anyone serious about selling or buying."
The Conrads, Mike and Tina
"One of the benifits of my job is building memories with nice families."
" Thank you for making our house hunting and home buying experience pleasant and positive. We would never use anyone else."
Nick and Jody Sabatino
" I can not say enough about Ms. O'Grady. The phrases "worked tirelessly" and "gave 110% does not begin to describe Karen's work ethic. She shold my house in the midst of an extreme Buyers Market which required an imaginative marketing approach. She staged the house (actually worked on it all day until she was happy with the layout), held countless open houses, and costantly tweaked the wording and images on out house's web page in the MLS. I am convinced that my house would still be on the market if it were not for Karen. If you are reading this and are shopping for a realtor, you can stop because you hit the preverbal holy grail of realtor's - she is that good".
