They gave honest opinions about houses and locations as well as provided numerous people such as inspectors to help us with the purchasing process. They worked day and night with us making offers, getting into contracts, and showing houses. They are willing to work their schedule to fit you ASAP to see a house which is what you need in a market where houses are going into contract in 24 hours. I recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a house; they clearly know what they are doing and are there for you.

First of all, this review is embarrassingly overdue. If you are perusing realtor reviews, trying to…read moredecide with whom to partner to sell your home, or find a new one, you can stop. You've landed on an incredible company that is well-versed in all things related to the central Ohio market, and will be immediately responsive to your needs. As a seller, you need an agent who can effectively market your property, as well as negotiate to secure you the very best sales contract possible. As a buyer, you need an agent who has the most updated knowledge on what's hitting the market, and strategizing know-how for making the most attractive offer to "win" the bid. I first met Angelina as our real estate contact for my husband's job relocation that took us from Texas to Ohio. I was thoroughly overwhelmed with researching neighborhoods in Columbus, and she knew exactly what to say to calm my nerves and help me make sense of all of our options. My husband and I have now worked with Angelina and her fantastic team on both a home purchase and sale in the busy Westerville market. Both transactions were complex for different reasons, and Angelina maintained her composure throughout many rounds of intense negotiations. With a market like you currently see in the area, where buyers are rushing to view listings and making competing offers, you need an experienced agent who can represent your best interests amid increasingly stressful situations. Although my husband and I were close to losing our minds after a day full of reviewing offers, Angelina was an incredible source of clarity and insight--exactly what you need when you are trying to make the best decision regarding your home. Angelina, my family will be forever grateful for your expert assistance.

My husband and I are first time homebuyers and in our early 20s. It's safe to say, we had no idea…read morewhat we were doing. Our lease was almost up on our apartment and we knew we wanted to buy. A realtor relative of ours [in a different city] referred us to Angelina Fox-Smith & Company. We had the pleasure of working with Megan and it was nothing short of awesome! Megan is so kind, chatty, helpful, passionate, and relatable. She dedicated her Fridays to helping us find a home, and her weekends to writing up and submitting offers for us. It was a stressful, fast-paced, and time consuming job, and we are so grateful to her for her constant support and help! She referred us to a local lender who was able to give us an incredible interest rate and close in 33 days...with a VA loan! Our lender, was also able to refer us to a great insurance agent! We felt like we had a whole team rallying around us to help us find our new home. Megan understands the market very well, has a great mindset, and really knows how to strategize. There is a stigma in the market that has caused some listing agents to discriminate against buyers with VA loans. It was quite disappointing when we offered more money than other buyers but time and time again lost out. Megan was very supportive and always had our backs! She got us into our dream neighborhood and in perfect timing before our lease ended. I cannot say enough nice words about this team!!

She gave me the pros and cons of different decisions I needed to make and really helped me understand everything so that I know I made the best choices in selling my home (for example, best time to list, etc.) Maggie was a strong negotiator and got above asking price for our home. In fact we had two offers the same day we listed it! Maggie has excellent communication skills and responded to my emails and phone calls very quickly. I appreciated that she understood that my personality is a "worry-wort" and she was very patient with me and answered my hundreds of questions, and held my hand through the process. I had interviewed several agents, and I am confident I made the right choice when I asked Maggie to sell my home. I know that I was in capable hands with her. My experience was 5 Stars and I would highly recommend her.
