FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Work backwards from monthly payment, not list price. With the 30-yr fixed at ~6.27% on Oct 16, 2025 (Freddie Mac PMMS), each 0.25% rate move can change your affordability band by thousands. Lock rate windows early, and price inspections/insurance/taxes into the payment model.Move fast on well-priced homes—know your micro-market. In Findlay (45840), the median sale price is ~$249k and typical DOM ~52 days; competitively priced homes still go quickly. County-wide, sale-to-list is ~98%—meaning lowballing often backfires unless there’s a condition issue.

Use Ohio programs to stretch your down payment. OHFA assistance = 3% (conventional) or 3.5% (FHA/VA/USDA), forgiven after 7 years if you stay—powerful for first-time or return buyers who qualify.
My Ohio Home
+1
Timing tip: Ohio inventory is finally loosening—active listings up ~10% YoY (Aug 2025) and 3.57 months’ supply statewide. More choice = better negotiations on inspection credits and closing costs.
Ohio REALTORS
My buyer edge: I front-load underwriting, pair lenders who can do TBD underwrites, and use escalation/inspection strategies that protect your wallet while staying competitive.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Price to the curve, not above it. In Hancock County the median DOM is ~63 days and sale-to-list ~98%; overpricing adds weeks and invites “stale listing” discounts. I set pricing off hyper-local comps + absorption rate so we hit the market’s velocity band, not its ceiling.
Redfin
Win the first 7 days. Zillow shows Findlay’s average home value ~$237,572 and goes pending in ~17 days—the earliest eyeballs are the most motivated. We stack pro photos, vertical video, AI-optimized copy, and social ad geofencing to capture that surge.
Zillow
Leverage more inventory, strategically. With Ohio inventory up YoY, buyers can compare. Pre-inspection + minor repairs often net you more than list-high gambits; we’ll decide what to fix vs. credit after reviewing competing actives.
Ohio REALTORS
My seller edge: I syndicate to Zillow/Realtor.com/Google LSA + targeted FB/IG reels; we monitor click-through, saves, and tour requests in week 1 and adjust price/terms surgically instead of waiting.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Full spectrum—first-time buyers, downsizers, move-up families, VA buyers, rural acreage shoppers, investors (BRRRR/flip/short-term), and estate sales. Recent pipeline includes:
Downsizer with a Husky prioritizing single-story + fenced yard; paired lending options and one-level inventory.
Simultaneous sell/buy aligning two closings (accepted offer at 717 Balsley Ave, Findlay) while shepherding appraisal/CTC timing on the purchase.
Investor purchase (cash) at 1141 Putnam St with tight timelines, no inspection/appraisal contingencies, and title coordination.
These examples showcase speed, contract structuring, and multi-party coordination—key when rates and inventory are shifting.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
A clean investor win: We wrote a cash offer ($69k) on a REO in Findlay with zero contingencies and a 60-day close to sync HELOC funding. I pre-cleared title with Golden Key Title, verified wire instructions, and packed the addenda (lead-based paint, hold-harmless, commission docs) so the asset manager could green-light fast. Result: accepted, smooth closing rhythm, and immediate rent-ready plan after possession.
Takeaway for buyers/sellers: When paperwork is airtight and timelines are realistic, even strict REO sellers move quickly.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
Local roots + operations mindset. I grew up here, worked hands-on in small business before going all-in on real estate with Key Realty – The Keller Team. The throughline: clear systems, fast comms, and data-driven negotiation. I host open houses, welcome new residents, and keep a service network (inspectors, lenders, trades) so clients get real solutions, not runaround.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Contract strategy & offer engineering: I workshop escalation clauses, inspection scopes, appraisal gaps, and sale/leaseback options so terms fit the deal math (and the underwriting reality).
Ohio financing programs: Familiar with OHFA 3%–3.5% DPA mechanics, income limits, recapture, and how to layer with lender credits and seller concessions.

Market analytics: I track Findlay/Hancock live stats—sale-to-list ~98%, county DOM ~63 days, 45840 median ~$249k—and adjust strategies weekly as rates/inventory shift.

Media & SEO marketing: Drone/video + AI-optimized copy boosts impressions and showings—crucial when Ohio active listings rose ~10% YoY and buyers have options.

Walker Keller is personable and professional. I appreciate that he also didn't want us to settle for a house that was just okay--he wanted us to find the right house too. He did everything he could to help us look at homes quickly, since the market was moving fast. This was our first home buying experience--glad Mr. Keller made it a good one!
