ZillowVERIFIEDSally had the requisite knowledge of the Brecksville real estate market to help me to acquire the perfect condo for me. Kn;owing that this market is very competitive, she responded quickly when I reached out to her, although I was in South Carolina at the time. With her assistance and advice, I was able to secure financing and make an offer which was accepted, although there were three other offers in addition to mine. I am very grateful to Sally for her knowledge and skills which allowed me to be able to have this wonderful place to live.
ZillowVERIFIEDIt was great working with Sally both finding a house and during the purchase process. She has incredible knowledge of the Brecksville and neighboring markets and provided priceless guidance finding quality and value in a competitive market. She also explained every step of the purchase process mitigating both risk and stress along the way.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Sally through Zillow and she turned out to be an amazing real estate agent, and a great partner through the process of buying a house in Northeast Ohio. She provided excellent advice to my wife and me on asking price strategies, market research, negotiation guidance, and overall buying process management. Sally is also very well connected with various specialists that we used during the inspection stage that provided peace of mind and expertise in a few areas that were new to us in the buying process. This is our fifth house that we have purchased, and Sally was definitely the best that we have worked with yet. Sally was very well organized and kept the process moving along nicely, resulting in an on time close with no issues at all. She even took it upon herself to interview listing agents in Pennsylvania to help with selling our current home. It was a great pleasure working with Sally, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Northeast Ohio!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a great experience working with Sally throughout what was ultimately a long and sometimes challenging home-buying process. She was responsive, professional, and always neutral and straightforward in her approach. Most importantly, she connected us with seller clients of hers who ultimately sold us our dream home. She went the extra mile to facilitate that connection and give us access to the property after a difficult search. We really appreciated her professionalism, persistence, and help throughout the process and would happily recommend her to others.
ZillowVERIFIEDI first met Sally when she was my realtor when I purchased my home, and years later, when it was time to sell, I knew I wanted to work with her again. She is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. Her years of experience show in how she manages every aspect of a transaction, from navigating buyers and emotions to providing honest, unbiased guidance. She is also an excellent negotiator and always keeps her clients best interests in mind. I'm grateful to have worked with Sally twice and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor they can truly trust.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally is a fantastic realtor. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the home buying process. She made herself available, whether by phone, text, or email, and she took the time to answer my questions whenever I needed help. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I am grateful for her hard work, and I would absolutely recommend Sally Crist to anyone looking to buy a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally is patent and a true professional. We were moving into the area from out of state and relied heavily upon her knowledge of the local area. Our requirements were less about size and location and more about design and layout. You can only imagine how many places we had to visit to find the perfect place, sorry Sally. She remained upbeat, positive and resolute about finding our new home. Thank you again Sally, we love our new home and couldnt have done this without you.
ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend working with Sally. My wife and I were extremely impressed with her responsiveness and willingness to make herself available for last minute viewings. We also appreciated her honesty and "no pressure" approach to her work. We truly felt like Sally was aligned with us and had our best interests in mind at all times. Another thing we really appreciate was how engaged Sally was after the deal was accepted. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable with the buying process as well as all the nuances that come with a new home (utilities, home warranty, etc.)
ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Sally on buying a new home. That was a fantastic experience, so we decided to have her help us sell too. She surprised us at every step. The marketing of my home was seriously above and beyond. She sent the photographer to get professional photos for our listing. What I didn't expect was she also made ours a featured listing with a VIDEO TOUR of our home and property; this was a work of art. We had moved out before listing, so Sally brought in a professional stager before the video was shot. Even before we had the open house on the listing weekend, she had 3 showings and 3 verbal offers. Ultimately, we decided to hold the open house to keep our options open. We accept an offer that unfortunately came with difficult negotiations. The buyer's agent had made some mistakes and unusual requests, and Sally navigated the situation with tremendous professionalism while holding firm on our demands. If she had her way, I think she would have advised us to walk away from this deal, but we knew that the buyer was related to our neighbor, so we really wanted to make this deal work for the neighbor, the buyer and ourselves. Sally respected our decision despite her concerns. That said, her focus was always to protect us first, and protect the deal second. She persisted to communicate our concerns to the buyers agent and we made the deal. Thanks to her diligence, we closed the deal with no further issues. Her communication throughout the process is top rate. She responds to every request promptly. She is a dedicated to advising you through providing information, not opinions. Of course, we would ask her opinion at times but she would always provide us with the information, the pluses and minuses, so we were making the decision based on the facts, not the "feels". We are so grateful to her. She was the perfect guide.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was amazing throughout the process of buying our house and after, helping make it feel like a home. She is very patient and flexible, showing us many, many houses in the evening and on weekends. She is friendly, caring, and compassionate. And she knows everyone in the area and can make great recommendations, from a lender to a locksmith.
ZillowVERIFIEDWords cannot describe the level of commitment, enthusiasm, and advocacy Sally brings to the table when searching for the right home. Want candid advice? Retain Sally. Want someone who has your back? Retain Sally. Want a realtor who after a few house visits feels like a good friend whose opinion you trust? Retain Sally. As a 29 year military veteran with nearly a dozen moves under my belt, nobody compares to her.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was the ultimate professional. She is knowledgeable and always seeking to learn more, she answered my many questions and would research if necessary for accuracy. She is quick to respond to calls or texts and helpful throughout the buying process.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally Crist has been my realtor both as a buyer and seller. Her knowledge and expertise of the real estate market is why she is so successful. She is a warm, cheerful agent and is a skillful negotiator. Her communication and attention to details as well as her follow through is what I appreciated the most. aEUR~Above and Beyond perfectly describes how Sally approaches her work, even when the opposing side seems to have dropped the ball. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sally!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was excellent. We met her randomly at an open house in Hudson that was one of her listings, and she was very personable and friendly. My wife and I didn't have a local contact, so when we were ready to start looking seriously, we reached out to Sally, and we're glad we did. Sally communicates incredibly well. If she doesn't pick up the phone right away, she sends a text saying she'll get back to you, and then she does. She has excellent local knowledge of the area and is very helpful with recommendations. We adjusted our "wish list" several times on Sally, and she was happy to accommodate. We ended up purchasing a piece of land with her help when we were initially looking for homes. Sally has excellent contacts in lending, renovation, other realtors, inspections, etc. Lastly, she has a great demeanor and positive attitude and always showed up on time to look at all the houses and properties we wanted to see (which was a lot). I highly recommend her to anyone!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally worked very well with me and my wife to get our house prepared for rental, pricing it, and arranging for potential tenants to see the house, get background checks going, etc., she did her research on neighborhoods around ours. I highly recommend Sally as an agent for house rentals. Sally also worked well with the tenants.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was available whenever i needed her. She responds to texts and emails quickly. When i had a question, she contacted whomever could answer it and responded with answer. Her knowledge of the homes and areas added a few more towns for me to look at homes in. I found my home in a very short time and stayed with me to moving day! Was very pleased with the whole process.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was wonderful. She showed us several properties over the holiday season and closely worked with us, the seller's agent, the inspector, the title company, and the property's HOA. She provided recommendations for the inspector and purchase of insurance. She handled it all very professionally and in a timely fashion. We highly recommend Sally.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was wonderful to work with. I was able to purchase a wonderful house and it was a little stressful since we had a bidding war going but Sally assured me it will work in my favor - and it did! Then she sold my house very quickly and navigated me through more stressful situations - again it worked in my favor and I am happy with everything. Sally was kind to me and my family. I highly recommend Sally - she was always available for me. thank you Sally!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally Crist got me into the house I wanted. She did it in a seller's market (high demand, low supply). She did it despite a not-insignificant number of hurdles that came up along the way -- in fact, we powered through them because of her breadth of experience and knowledge. If I had to do it again, I would hire her without hesitation. Beyond just her responsibility to her clients as a realtor, Sally has cultivated a strong network of individuals and companies that anyone going through the process of buying a house will need to interact with at some point. She'll get you connected to the right person for the job, whether a loan agent, inspector, all manner of trades people, and more. She vets them, and diligently follows up on their work. If the contract and/or negotiations gets complex, Sally knows what to do. She is extremely detail oriented, so nothing gets by. She helped me negotiate for aspects of my contract that I didn't even know could be negotiated, and explained everything that needed explaining until I understood it. Sally is a consummate professional. She handlings things quickly, is very responsive, and will help you get the best chance possible at the house you want.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was amazing from start to finish. She guided us through the process and made herself available, often within less than 24 hours notice. She worked with us even with my wife three hours away as we were in the process of relocating to the Cleveland area. She was an expert on the various cities, towns and neighborhoods. Always with a smile and a laugh, Sally was a true professional and friend. I would whole heartedly recommend Sally to anyone looking to buy or sell.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was great during the house purchasing process. She continued to support me and answer questions after the sale. Could not have asked for a better agent.
ZillowVERIFIEDUsed sally as a buyer and seller agent for this property. When we bought the property in 2020, it had been vacant for close to a year. She negotiated the septic system would be replaced at no cost to us, and she delivered on that promise. When the time came to sell the house, she was the only person I had in mind. Sally has kept me in the loop every step of the way and we have been in consistent contact. Ive already recommended her to some friends of mine that are looking to buy and sell.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally is a true professional and is responsive and communicates well. I live in California and the condo she sold was in Ohio. It was in terrible shape. She got me a local contractor to do the renovation and oversaw the work. I could not be happier.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had such a wonderful experience working with Sally. She's incredibly diligent and responsive, and her professional expertise was critical in our home-buying success story. Sally is the epitome of the type of person you hope to work with when going through this process, especially as first time buyers. Her communication, availability, and response times left us wanting for nothing and we couldn't have imagined a better experience and outcome as a result of working with her. Despite numerous "firsts" while looking at homes, her optimism and perspective ensured we stayed on the right course (especially in today's market) and found the perfect home for us. We can't recommend her enough -- you can't go wrong when you go with Sally!! Thanks for everything.
ZillowVERIFIEDOur experience with Sally was great! She was a great resource for us as first time home buyers to navigate the expectations of timing and all the information thrown at us during the home buying process. It can be a lot to digest, but Sally was able to help us come up with a very competitive offer tailored to our needs in a tight market. Additionally, she was very helpful with breaking down the home buying process into digestible pieces! Would definitely recommend.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally helped us get top dollar for our home. She gave us advice on how to improve the marketability (e.g., power washing), had professional photos taken, and held an open house. The open house generated multiple competing offers. She helped us understand the contracts, and we were able to go from aEURoeFor SaleaEUR? to aEURoePendingaEUR? in just a few days! Sally stepped up several times after the offer was accepted to make sure the sale went through. She made the selling process easy.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we first met Sally, she told us she would get the job done, even if it meant taking on additional responsibilities. Other realtors might say this, but we know from experience that Sally really does mean it. We hit multiple bumps in the buying process, and Sally always stepped in to make sure the transaction was successful. She is professional, knowledgeable, timely, communicative, and fun to work with. Sally helped us buy our dream home in a very difficult market, and we are so grateful!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. We had several challenges that were outside of Sallys control and she was committed to resolving them for us and making sure we closed on our dream house. Honestly, if it hadnt been for Sally I dont think we ever would have closed! She was responsive throughout, going out of her way to make sure we knew what was going on throughout the process.
ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a wonderful experience working with Sally! She was always very quick to respond and we appreciated your attention to detail. She went above and beyond to help answer all of our questions. We lucked out being connected to her through Zillow. Thanks so much Sally!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Sally in the past and she has been wonderful each time! I had to sell my mother's house and find someplace for my brother to live. She was on the ball with helping us through those issues. The next time we wanted to help our daughter find a condo instead of renting an apartment, Sally was there with the help Lisa needed. Sally then worked with my husband and myself to find the terrific condo that we are now in. We had some issues with my health and couldn't get the sale of our old home done at that time. Sally would check in with us to see how I was doing and let us know how the market was doing. We got busy this April and worked with her to get the house ready for sale. She let us know through her experience what had to be done to get the best price for our Parma, Ohio house. Working with her through all of these transactions was extraordinary, she was up on everything. She kept us in the loop, she was honest, hard working and really approachable when we had questions. We definitely would not have kept going back to her if she did not go above and beyond to help us through these five transactions! Thanks Sally
ZillowVERIFIEDSuch a pleasure to work with Sally on the sale of our home. She is a genuine, down-to-earth professional. Her positivity and knowledge made what could have been a stressful experience a breeze. She took the time to explain every aspect of the process and provided a thorough and thoughtful analysis. Selling a home can be an intimidating and daunting experience, Sally broke everything down in easy to digest tasks and was collaborative throughout. She was quick to respond to calls, texts, and e-mails, and always made us feel our needs came first. After the house sold she walked us through the whole process of closing. I am so appreciative of her dedication from the first hello to the close of the sale, truly "above and beyond" my expectations!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally's extensive knowledge of local real estate was paramount in finding a true hidden gem that checked all my boxes. And, amazingly, even though the property was being sold 'as is' she successfully negotiated a complete septic system replacement! As a first time home buyer I could not have asked for a better agent to guide me through the buying process. Sally's kind, patient and prompt replies to all my queries were definitely above and beyond! To anyone in the real estate market whether you're a newbie like me or a seasoned veteran I say...call Sally Crist!
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I worked with Sally when we bought our first home and it was a no brainer that we called her when it was time to sell our home. Sally made the entire process go smoothly and she worked very hard to find comps and help us figure out the best price to sell our home. She is always accommodating and worked around our busy work schedules. She also calls/texts to check in with you to see how things are going and if you have any questions. We are so thankful to have been able to work with Sally again! We highly recommend her to you for buying or selling a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Sally when she was putting up a sold sign on a house close to a home that we wanted to put on the market. Sally listened to us to see what we wanted, negotiated a deal, and we were able to close on the house in two weeks. This was especially difficult because we were out of town for much of this time. We really appreciated Sally's expertise and follow through.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe chose Sally Crist for our realtor while looking at a property at an open house.She was very helpful and answered all our questions.I immediately felt I could trust her to work with us to find our new home.I was right.She was very professional,punctual and knowledgeable.We are also happy to have her help us sell our current home.I will absolutely recommend Sally to any family and friends interested in buying or selling their home.We will be moving into our new home in a couple of weeks.
ZillowVERIFIEDThis is our second experience with Sally Crist. She is awesome! We were in a tight situation, trying to purchase a condo when a better opportunity popped up. She had the wisdom to know how to approach it, and we ended up with a better property! We highly recommend Sally. You will not be disappointed. She's worth it!
ZillowVERIFIEDGo with Sally. Period. I need to start by stating that I was so impressed with how Sally navigated me through the home purchasing process. Going in I thought I knew what I wanted in a home but thankfully Sally guided me through all of the things to consider and narrowed my search. Sally was well informed and responsive to my emails and questions. When Sally did not have an answer to a question she quickly made the necessary calls to get answers. And she always followed through. During the process I was unhappy with the service I was getting from my mortgage company and Sally recommended I try an alternative, an individual Sally trusted. I made an introductory no strings attached call to this mortgage expert that answered all of my questions and resolved my concerns. I changed mortgage companys and slept easy all the way through closing. I am now in my new home, sleep easy, and am so glad I went with Sally. Thank you Sally!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe couldnt be happier with our choice to have Sally Crist sell our house! Sally was professional, knowledgeable and made the entire process less stressful. Sally walked us through every step with patience and understanding and sold our house quickly. Thank you Sally!
ZillowVERIFIEDSallys strong negotiation skills helped me land my first home! She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. As a first time home buyer, I learned a lot working with Sally. She quickly answered all of my questions and was able to make several huge negotiations to my advantage. I highly recommend Sally to be your next agent. She delivered at every step of the way. Thanks Sally!!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was our realtor for both buying our new home and also selling our prior home. When discussing our home search, Sally paid attention to every detail and every specific request we were looking for in a new home. Sally is incredibly responsive and organized - she was able to get us showing appointments for every home we liked and there were zero delays! Not only did Sally help us secure our offer on our new home, she also helped us put our prior home on the market to sell with a short turnaround! Sally helped prepare strategic offers when buying our new home and also negotiated masterfully with buyers for the home we were selling. Our prior home sold after only 3 days on the market for over asking price and we could not have achieved these ambitious goals without Sally's assistance. We would HIGHLY recommend Sally Crist as a real estate agent to all. We are grateful for her expertise, especially in such a competitive market. Sally, you are awesome!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe purchased a beautiful but complicated property and Sally helped us immensely. She knew answers to complicated questions and when she didnt she worked to find them for us. She was accessible and readily available throughout the whole process.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally is incredible! She was so patient and helpful as our buyer agent. We searched for months until we found our dream home, all thanks to Sally being more than willing to work with our schedule! I think we were truly lucky to have met her and had her guidance at every step of the way. She answered our every question and addressed our every concern with kindness and expertise. She definitely knows the area. I highly recommend Sally Crist as your realtor.
ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer we are very happy that we chose Sally as our buyer agent. Sally explained the process to us very clear. She is always on time and responsive, always answer our questions honestly. This is a seller's market right now, but we never feel pushed when working with Sally. She is patient and always put our thoughts first. When we had an unexpected surprise the night before closing she worked with us late and got it resolved. We got our dream house and we were very happy. It is important to have some you can trust as a first time buyer. I would recommend Sally to any first time home buyer.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe could not have had a better experience than the one we had with Sally. She was responsive, listened to our wants and needs, found multiple options for us and helped us make an incredible offer on the home we purchased. We are listing our former bone with her and Sally has made both the home buying and listing processes easy.
ZillowVERIFIEDIf you want a top notch negotiator who will find you the perfect house within your budget, look no further than Sally! She's a true professional and the best of the best. My husband and I came to Sally with a lofty goal - find us a structurally sound home, with charm, a massive kitchen, 5 bedrooms, requiring little to no work, with a wooded backyard where houses aren't too close together, in an upscale neighborhood, for the lowest cost - during a pandemic and seller's market. Sally delivered. Not only was she helpful in articulating the entire home-buying experience, she's prompt and always responded to our texts and calls at most within the hour. Because we were looking in desirable areas where the market was insane, Sally was able to get us to the house before anyone else had a chance to see so that if we wanted, we could be the first to see the home. Being the picky individuals that my husband and I are, Sally showed us many homes and didn't try to push us into a home that didn't fit us. After just a few showings, Sally truly understood our taste and we ultimately found exactly what we were looking for. Through her strong negotiation skills and expertise in the market, she was able to secure us a house that met all of our asks and more in the most perfect location in Hudson, Ohio for $10K UNDER asking. When it came time for inspections, Sally helped us navigate the process and ensured that our interests were protected. She really goes above and beyond for her clients. Her level-headed professionalism is why she's one of the best the industry has to offer! Thank you Sally for our beautiful home!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally is the whole package deal. She is professional, prompt, and knows all the ins and outs of real estate. I've used Sally to both buy and sell my home and both experiences were wonderful. She is there every step of the way and keeps you in the loop throughout the entire process. If a question arises, she is available to answer via phone call, text, or email within minutes. I cannot recommend Sally enough for you buying/selling needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally provided extremely professional service to my elderly mother in the sale of her home of 56 years. We found her to be very thorough and patient in explaining the process and forms. In addition I can definitely state that Sally was always very responsive on any questions and during the negotiation process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally has been wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her as a realtor. She is very knowledgeable and guided me every step of the way as I was buying a house. She is action oriented and drove the buying process with my best interest in mind. I'm glad to have found her to represent me as my realtor.
ZillowVERIFIEDSally is truly an outstanding human being and professional. She is extremely thorough in approaching her work, and is detail oriented without exception. Her attentiveness is so important and appreciated by clients (my husband and me, to be specific) who are not familiar with the legalities and minutiae of a real estate transaction. Sally also demonstrates a natural ability to intuit the preferences of her clients. In our work with Sally, we saw several houses in a very short amount of time, and could envision ourselves in every single one of them...and that was not because we are not "picky". Rather, Sally listened to us and came to a clear understanding of what we might prefer in terms of properties. So, our time was not wasted. And, Sally made us feel that we were her top priority; we never felt rushed. In short, Sally is a highly capable and trustworthy professional who made a move to Ohio for life-long New Englanders a cinch!
ZillowVERIFIEDSally was such a pleasure to work with. We worked with her for a selling of a condo and for the purchase of our home. She is so quick to respond to text, calls and emails. We couldnt have had a better experience. Especially during the craziness of a pandemic!
