FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Work with an Accredited Buyer Representative trained to negotiate the best deal for you! Also, be prepared with a pre-approval for financing to support your ability to buy.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Use a very experienced agent to market your home and negotiate the best deal for you. A seasoned agent has the ability to foresee potential problems and make the transaction flow smoothly from start to finish. Experience does not cost as much as it pays.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
1st-time buyers, short sale sellers, senior citizens, corporate relocations, new homes, and investors
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
One of my clients literally begged me to take their listing at a price that was totally unrealistic for the market at that time. Buyers actually chuckled with dismay, when told the asking price. When it sold for almost full price for cash I was nervous as could be until it closed!
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I obtained my real estate license just after finishing high school! Initially, I sold new homes for a local builder and then began selling pre-enjoyed homes in the re-sale market once I had gained confidence through product knowledge and familiarity of transactions.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
My background in corporate relocations has aided most of my clients in obtaining the highest market value for their properties, with the least inconvenience to them.

C.J. Harrington is very easy to work with and will explain the process of selling a home very well. He is very good at negotiating the best price for you with the buyer of you home/property. I would employ his services again.

We chose CH Harrington over several other realtors that we know based on our very favorable experience with him. Being a former commercial real estate banker, I recognized the professional skills that CJ has for our buying and selling needs as well as his closing skills.I confidently recommend CJ Harrington to listen to your needs and dreams and with his market knowledge he will find a buyer or house to move you into your new home.

Very pleased with the professional, friendly service. Our home was sold in minimal time during the winter season. Coordinated and handled all details accurately, quickly and effortlessly. Caught a missing prorated HOA expense that the Title company as well as we unintentionally overlooked. Highly recommended!

THANK YOU! Doesn't even seem to be enough for all CJ did to help us during the purchase of our new home. There was never a moment of waiting on a response, or wondering what was happening in the process. CJ was ON IT! We saw houses when they hit the market, he didn't wait as he knew how quickly things would sell.The amount of experience CJ has is one of the many reasons we enjoyed working with him. With experience comes a vast amount of knowledge and was willing to guide us to make the best offer we could. My mother in law recommended him to us and I will do the same to anyone who is in the market to buy and or sell. Thank you CJ.

CJ priced the house right. It sold within 24 hours for a price that was more than fair. My husband and I have trouble with computers, but CJ was very patient when helping us navigate all the online paperwork. We highly recommend him!

CJ was very professional and cordial from my first phone call. He was referred to me as well as I was relocating back to the Cleveland area. We discussed what I was looking for and the areas in which I was interested in living. His provision of homes (website) available based on my criteria allowed me to peruse when received. Any time I called to look at a home CJ made arrangements in a timely fashion based on my availability and the sellers. He never pushed a particular property which made me comfortable that he was just not looking for a sale. We looked at a number of properties and I truly appreciated that CJ was patient and supportive. When the right home came along, he was very knowledgeable and directed me through the steps needed to ensure the process stayed on track. CJ provided me with names of load institutions, inspectors, etc. with no bias regarding use. Left the decisions to me. His knowledge regarding the closing process was comforting as well. I have bought and sold homes in my past and I have to say this purchase was the smoothest I'd experienced. I attribute this to CJ's knowledge and character ensuring me, as the buyer received all of the support and information that was necessary. Thanks CJ!!

CJ Harrington kept me updated on every aspect of my house search and as soon as the house for me came on the market he knew to direct me to it. He also provided all that was needed to sell the house in which I previously lived. Both processes went smoothly, and I would highly recommend him.

I recently purchased a home in Brunswick, OH, with CJ as buyer representative. As a first time home buyer, I really valued his local knowledge and expertise throughout the process. Admittedly, I had a very broad set of criteria that I was working with, and despite that potential challenge, CJ had a good eye for properties that piqued my interest. Most importantly (to me), CJ was always responsive, while also staying respectful of my schedule, which can be very unpredictable. He didn't show frustration or panic if I was out of town for work and needed my focus to be away from my search for a few days. There was no "salesy" pressure to jump at the first property that met my criteria. I took a very patient, measured approach to my search, and CJ was able to add value throughout the process, and ultimately help me find the right home for me. I'd highly recommend CJ to anyone else in the market.

My husband and I have worked with CJ to purchase our first home together five years ago. Most recently, he helped us find our dream home. He was patient with our requests and waited until we found exactly what we wanted, then was quick to help us secure that house. Our experience with his expertise was better than I could've imagined and I would highly recommend going with him again. We will be back when we are ready to move to our beach house (and retire)!!

CJ Harrington provided excellent service in helping us sell our home. He was prompt in returning our calls and available to show our home when clients called (even on Father's Day!) to request a showing. He looked after our interests and followed through to the end of the selling process, keeping us informed until title transfer. It was a pleasure to work with CJ!

CJ has helped me buy a home and recently sell that same home 7 years later. On both occasions he has worked feverishly on my account and with my best interest in mind. The latest sale came with a set of unique circumstances due to us relocating out of state and CJ was very collaborative in arriving at solution based outcomes. I highly recommend him whether you are buying or selling a home!

Terrific experience. Sold our home before the sign was even up and yet I'm extremely satisfied with the sale amount. CJ understood our rushed situation and laid out in detail the proper pricing for the area. His information and clarity allowed us to properly and comfortably price our home to sell within the short window allotted. His accurate figures and possible projections played out exactly as hoped for. With the current economic climate, CJ's experience helped us achieve the unheard of sold in a day status.
