    About Alex Schafers

    Alex Schafers is the founder and lead agent of The Schafers Group, the #1 RE/MAX team in Cincinnati. Specializing in everything from Cincinnati to the northern suburbs of Warren County-and everywhere in between, including Mason, Lebanon, and Loveland-Alex serves buyers and sellers across all of Hamilton and Warren Counties. He is licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky.

    Alex originally trained to become a teacher, and that instinct to educate still defines how he works: he believes an informed client makes better decisions, so he leads with honesty and guidance rather than pressure. That approach has made him one of the most accomplished agents in the region-the #1 individual RE/MAX agent in Cincinnati from 2020 to 2024 before founding The Schafers Group in 2025. Across his career, Alex has helped nearly 800 families buy and sell homes, representing more than $229 million in sales.

    Whether you're buying your first home, relocating across Greater Cincinnati, or preparing to sell, Alex pairs deep local knowledge with data-driven pricing and marketing strategy to deliver results-and the kind of client relationships that lead to referrals and repeat business.

    Answered Questions

    Can I buy a house without a real estate agent?

    Yes, you can. You would have to sign a disclosure saying you are unrepresented. Might not be the best idea to be unrepresented, especially if you do not have experience.

    Can I sell as-is if I still owe a lot on my mortgage?

    YesaEUR"you can sell your home " as-is,aEUR? but financing can be a hurdle. FHA, VA, and many conventional loans may require repairs if the roof or foundation has issues. That means some buyers won't qualify. Your best options are cash buyers or those using rehab loans. Expect buyers to factor in risk and uncertainty, often discounting the price more than the actual repair costs. Pricing and positioning the home correctly is key to getting it sold. One thing to consider is to find a contractor that will do the work upfront and get paid out of the settlement statement(proceeds). This would be my recommendation to optimize sales price.
