    We cant say enough wonderful things about Kimarie Martin. Not only is she an exceptional realtor, but also a dear friend who went above and beyond for us, which turned out to be a very challenging and long process. From day one, Kimarie approached everything with professionalism, patience, and genuine care & concern. There were moments when things got complicated, but she never wavered aEUR" always finding solutions, offering guidance, and keeping us grounded through the process. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and tireless advocacy made all the difference. Kimaries smart, intuitive knowledge helped us avoid major problems before they happened. Beyond the business side, what really stood out was the compassion and integrity Kimarie brought to every conversation and decision. Its rare to find someone who can balance friendship and professionalism so gracefully, but she did it perfectly. We are deeply grateful for her expertise, kindness, and perseverance aEUR" and we would recommend Kimarie Martin to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares and delivers outstanding results.

    Nicole was a true partner in helping purchase my home. I was relocating to Columbus and she was extremely helpful in familiarizing me with the different neighborhoods and price points. She helped find the perfect home for me.

    Our agent, Karla Ballenger, was recommended to me by a friend for the remarkable work she did in finding their dream home in the exact neighborhood they wanted to be in. We are both so thankful for that recommendation. Karla was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. We both felt she was deeply invested in finding us the perfect house that we could make our forever home. Her ability to create that bond, and have it endure through a very personal and, at times, emotional process makes her truly stand out. We have purchased 8 different homes over the years and she was head and shoulders above the rest. I was also very impressed with everyone we engaged with at The Raines Group. They were all very professional and committed to our journey. I highly recommend both Karla Ballenger and the Raines Group.

    Candace is an absolute rockstar and tackled any challenge head on. She was extremely patient with my timeline, but was on top of things as soon as the time came.
