This is the 3rd time we've driven across town for a Faulkner listing for an open house only to find that it's been cancelled and not taken off of Realtor.com. That's great that your house sells or the sale is pending but I think taking it off of the roster of open houses is the least you can do so people don't waste their time. Three different cars (including us) all pulled up at the same time for one today just after the posted start time and none were very happy to see that a sale pending sign had been put up. Not the best way to make an impression and I'll likely overlook open house listings by them in the future just because of this track record they're amassing. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about JP, both as a person and a Realty firm. We bought our lovely "character house" in Clintonville/Beechwold over seven years ago and after kids and dogs decided to move on to a location that better suited my husband's commute and our new lifestyle. We originally listed our house three years ago with a different Realtor from a large firm. The results were underwhelming and we eventually took the house off the market. Not only that, but my husband and I got the clear sense that the Realtor in question didn't care much about or house or us as clients. Fast forward to 2014 and I am SO incredibly glad that I chose JP Faulkner Realty to be our selling agent as well as the agent who helped us find our new home. From the get-go he came across as market-savvy (he SELLS Clintonville, which is why I chose him) as well as personable, incredibly funny, and simply, kind. He's young enough to "get" us as people but also old enough to have grown up with the Clintonville market as a true peer, who understands the transformations the neighborhood has undergone in the past ten years and what that means for buyers and sellers alike. Working with him was like working with a razor-smart, compassionate, and at times brutally honest best friend. He helped us transform our charming but lived-in home into the property of any buyer's dreams. He has such an incredible eye for color, design and staging. Do you watch Design Star on HGTV? This man could kick all of their rears, and he made our house look simply amazing. Not only that but he was incredibly diligent and savvy in pricing the property so that we could come away with the most money possible. And when our house sold in THREE days, he was right there waiting to take us out to look for our new house. We spent a lot of time with him over two days, one of which was attended by our very young (and whiny!) children. He handled it all with such kindness, humor and grace. He even made us stop at Dairy Queen one afternoon so he could buy my 4-year-old daughter ice cream! He listened intensely to our desires and requirements and helped us find the perfect new home. He even helped us meet the new neighbors! I just have nothing but wonderful things to say about JP Faulkner and his team. Real estate transactions can be fraught and this has been a dream process. I walk our neighborhood frequently and note the homes that just aren't selling. I always want to knock on their doors and tell them to call JP. read more

I don't know what the circumstances were in regard to the cancelled open houses - maybe it was a realtor.com issue. As both a buyer and particularly as a seller I have personally received very professional and attentive services from this Realty Group and was very satisfied. I am an attorney and deal with many real estate companies and agents hired by clients as part of my practice. Few match the competence and attention to detail that I have experienced with Faulkner Realty. read more
