"Amy Broghamer helped us find the house of our dreams in a city which we had only visited once, and walked us through our first-ever home-buying experience, educating us constantly along the way, ensuring things ran smoothly, and becoming a great friend in the process!

My husband and I had a rather busy spring-matching at Cincinnati Children's for our residencies, getting married, graduating from medical school, and packing to move halfway across the country! We had no family in Cincinnati, and learned we would be starting work in Cincinnati less than three months before our official start date. This left us with both the excitement and the stress of finding our new home. We started looking at homes on the internet, and had the good fortune of having a new colleague recommend Amy.

From the beginning, Amy was warm, informative, reliable and efficient, and just incredibly good at everything she did. After just a week of e-mailing and talking on the phone about parts of town, certain features we were hoping to find in a home, things we needed to know about the home-buying process, and Cincinnati itself, we felt we could trust Amy completely and really loved working with her. Due to unforeseen time restraints, we were actually unable to travel to Cincinnati to purchase our home. We discussed this with Amy, and ultimately decided to entrust her with finding a house for us without us ever having seen the house, the area, or even having ever met her. Amy went way above and beyond the responsibilities of any realtor, and visited eight of our favorite homes in a two-day time period, taking her digital camera and creating "virtual tours" of between 50-90 pictures from each home. She sent these to us promptly, and then would talk us through the homes, providing invaluable commentary on the neighborhoods, the condition of the home, the property value and future selling potential, etc. When we determined which home we wanted, she sprang into action and made the process as easy as possible for us, and thanks to her, the entire process was completed well before our "deadline," thus making our move that much less stressful. She essentially did everything for us, as we were not physically able to sign any documents. Her efficiency was remarkable! We cannot emphasize enough how comfortable we felt working with Amy, how we knew we could trust her from the beginning, and how her constant enthusiasm, superb knowledge, excellent advice, and genuine caring, friendly attitude made us grateful every day that we were so fortunate as to have her as our realtor.

Amy was there for us from the time we first spoke with her, and she is still helping us by providing recommendations on everything from a local veterinarian to reliable handymen to giving us contact information for fencing companies with whom she has worked. She did everything in her power to make the relocation process as pleasant as possible for us, and she worked hard to ensure that our first homecoming, as we stepped into our new home for the first time, was special and welcoming. As we arrived two days before our furniture, Amy even went so far as to provide us with an air mattress, sheets, towels, soap, food, napkins, plates, utensils, and even dog treats!

We recommend Amy Broghamer to everyone in search of a truly outstanding realtor whom you can trust completely and who is extraordinarily efficient, knowledgeable, and a kind, warm, sincere person. We can also vouch that she is a great listener, because both of us talked at length with her about the features we were hoping to find in a house, and our new home truly is our house of dreams, in what we consider to be the most perfect neighborhood (for our needs) in Cincinnati."

"We sold our house by owner and were a bit apprehensive when we found out that Amy's client, who had only seen pictures of our house over the internet, wanted to make an offer. However, we found Amy easy to work with and helpful in guiding all of us through the unusual process of a virtual sale. She facilitated a positive working relationship, responded promptly to phone calls and emails, and made the entire process from contract to closing work smoothly."

"Amy is extremely enthusiastic, energetic and tenacious. These qualities and her willingness to listen to and manage our needs far exceeded our hesitation with her being a relatively new comer to the real estate business. Amy is very thorough and detailed oriented.

"I'm completely blown away with your website, your ability to present Terrace Park on your website (because as you know, Terrace Park doesn't even have a great website). The internet is completely where most of the world is today, I'm shocked so many realtors aren't embracing it more. I think you are the only realtor I've come across that has a custom website...with custom marketing. And even more, I love your approach of basically overcoming most if not all objections a buyer would have before he/she even steps in our house. With your virtual tours, photos and helping us prepare our house for that high end buyer; I can see why your listings sell so quickly. the time you have put into driving around the market, bringing another luxury certified agent through the house for (in this case) her opinion of the house, attending the Terrace Park events, listening to me drivel on and on about why I love this community so much, simply shows me just how committed you are to selling this house. And I haven't even mentioned how amazed I am that you know SO MUCH about old homes! I think you know more about our new house than even our architect (don't tell him that). I can tell you love what you do. Real Estate is clearly a part of your genetic make-up. Having you here to help meet with painters, carpenters, etc. has helped out tremendously. Your proactive personality is wonderful. So, bottom line, thank you. It's kind of fun, for once, having a realtor that we want to profit from the sale of our home. There are so many friends of ours that hate cutting that check to the realtor because it felt like he/she hadn't done much to sell the home. Already you've done so much and we haven't even officially listed the house!

"Being first time home buyers we were very happy to have Amy on our side. She confidently walked us through each step, while never making us feel uncomfortable or pressured. Her experience, honesty, and tireless work ethic made us feel like she was truly going to bat for us. There's no doubt that we will use her again and we'd highly recommend her to anyone interested in buying a home.

"Amy was the seller’s agent who sold us our house in Oakley. From our initial meeting, my wife and I were extremely impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the property that she was selling to us. Although somewhat unconventional, we interacted more with Amy than our agent from the offer to closing on the house. We knew that no matter what time of the day, we were going to receive a prompt and knowledgeable response. Because of our great experience with Amy, we have recommended her to our friends who have subsequently used her to purchase their homes; all with wonderful experiences. We will definitely be using Amy when we purchase our next house!

"Thank you for having the knowledge and patience to lead us to our first home. We put ourselves in your hands as soon as we met and we always felt professionally and warmly guided. We valued your upbeat character and readiness to go the extra step. It certainly shows that you care about what you do and the people you work with!"

"We had our property "For Sale By Owner" for two months. The minute we met Amy, we knew she could get our property sold with her energetic and positive spirit. Our first day on the MLS we had 7 showings, the next day 10 more, and by the end of the second day, it was sold! She has a great sense of urgency and a passion for Oakley and Hyde Park that is for sure! Thanks Amy!"

"I feel very fortunate to have found such a hard-working, dedicated, customer-oriented and professional Realtor. Amy did an outstanding job of representing us. Amy was thorough throughout the entire process of purchasing a home. She used 3 methods to come up with a range in value to base our offer upon. After the offer was accepted, Amy continued to follow through with attention to the detail of all the ancillary inspections and estimates as a result of those inspections. Amy was by far the best realtor I have dealt with and would recommend her to everyone."

"Amy listed and sold my house for full price in just 3 days. I couldn't have asked for a more professional and expedient transaction. She was able to get great pictures of my house, as well as a floor plan, and market these images online to potential buyers. Her marketing ideas were out of the box and proved effective in producing a sale much more quickly than we expected!"

"I had an excellent experience working with Amy Broghamer at Remax! She was professional, knowledgeable, organized, and accommodating to all of my requests as a buyer. I was a first time home buyer, on relocation from Northwest Arkansas and was pressed for time to purchase a home in the Cincinnati area. I was looking for an agent that was eager to educate me in the house buying process, dedicated to my home purchase, and willing to work via fax machines to get the purchase agreement finalized. Thank you Remax for sending Amy my way! She kept me up to date on all new MLS#'s and once I put an offer on the house she did a lot of leg work including inspection follow ups with estimates making sure the purchase price was accurate which gave me comfort with the decision of purchasing my first house! Amy was available 24/7 for all my questions and concerns...I don't know what I would have done without her!! Thank you Amy for all of your help!!"

"Bob and I want to thank you for all you have done to help us get our home. You made things so much easier for us. We will be telling all our friends what a great job you did for us."

"Thank you so much for all you have done for us in purchasing our 1st home. You have gone the extra' 110% in each and every way and we truly appreciate everything. You made things easier for us. Feel free to stop by anytime!

"I thought you may find my experience with Amy helpful in making a decision on choosing a realtor. I recently listed my duplex with Amy early January and received an acceptable offer the following day. Amy is very good with her follow up and personal attention. She is keeping me up to date on every issue and copying me on correspondence. She actually attended the inspection, other realtor showings, and the appraisal. Most realtors do NOT display this type of effort or dedication."

"In our earliest interview with Amy, it became very clear to us, that victory to Amy was not when the listing was taken, but when the home was SOLD, and that ultimately was who we wanted to represent us on the sale of our home."

"I think the thing I am most impressed with is your communication ability. I'm impressed with your follow-up/feedback after showings, etc."

She actually attended the inspection, other realtor showings, and the appraisal. Most realtors do NOT display this type of effort or dedication. I'm usually not one to give recommendations. I'm sure you will be successful with Amy if you choose her. If I had to rate Amy on a scale of 1 to 10, she earned the highest mark 10. "Earned" being the key word. :

"Amy listed our house on a Thursday and I believe we had an offer by the following Monday. We weren't out of the woods yet. She maneuvered us through all the little things (that don't seem so little when so much is at stake) that come up between that first showing and signing that final closing sheet. She was always available for answers to our worrisome questions and for suggestions in marketing our home. She worked very hard for us and she did it all the month before, during and just after her wedding. If she can be that committed during a very stressful and busy time for her personally, as well as in June (the busiest real estate month) just imagine what a commitment she has when there's nothing but real estate on her mind. Amy came highly recommend to us by someone who is very hard to please and can be very demanding. It turns out he knew exactly what he was talking about. I'd recommend Amy Broghamer to anyone venturing into the real estate market. It's a very scary place and Amy made it much more manageable than I could have ever expected. She has our thanks, our respect and I hope our friendship."

"Amy Broghamer was a life saver. I needed to sell my condo quickly and problem free and Amy was able to accomplish both. I was getting married and ending a school year as a teacher and transitioning into a new job. With such a hectic time in my life, it was great to work with Amy in a stress-free environment. She managed to turn my condo into a show piece and get it sold quickly. Her hard work, dedication, and personality helped her to be successful in selling my condo promptly and with little worry on my end. Thanks Amy. I couldn't have done it without you!"

"After a bad experience of not being able to sell our house with another agent with over 30 listings, we wanted to make sure our next agent would prioritize our homes marketing and sale. We went into our initial meeting with Amy a bit skeptical given our prior experience. Nevertheless, we quickly realized Amy's approach to selling a home was starkly different than what we had dealt with in the past. Amy truly went above and beyond as our agent. One of things that impressed us most about Amy was her approach to getting the house in "show ready" condition prior to listing it on the market. Amy helped us transform our home into a show ready and buyer-friendly house, which was then able to be marketed most effectively. As a result of Amy's suggestions and marketing we had our first offer in the very first week our house was on the market! Even in the midst of a tough environment for selling real estate, we were able to sell our home within a very short period of time. We are confident Amy was the reason for that."

"I would highly recommend Amy Broghamer to anyone looking to sell their home especially in the Hyde Park / Mt. Lookout area. Amy gave a great deal of her time to our specific needs. Amy went above and beyond helping to make our home look its best and highlighting its best feature by taking over 40 pictures for an online website of our home and creating a brochure for all potential buyers who toured our home. Amy understood our need and desire to sell quickly and through her experience and expertise we were able to sell our home within 3 weeks of listing with her in a very prominent buyers market. Amy is extremely easy to work with; she has a very professional and friendly disposition which makes her very approachable. She is the best in Cincinnati! "

"Amy's dedication to selling our house was impressive. We had moved out of town by the time we started working with Amy, and she took personal ownership of staging our house. My only regret is not finding Amy sooner! "

"You will not find another realtor that is more dedicated, knowledgeable, timely, and personable than Amy Broghamer. I received Amy's name from a friend that had told me that she was the best. After working with her, I am now telling my friends the same thing. Amy goes above and beyond from the start of the home search to post closing. She helped me to plan by setting dates and sending reminders to let me know when I needed to have things completed throughout the process. Amy is exceptional with follow-ups and is extremely organized. My home buying experience would not have gone as smoothly without her. She truly stands out in the Real Estate industry and you can always trust that she will put in 150%. I was so fortunate to have her on my side! When it comes time for me to relocate again in a few years, my home will definitely be listed with Amy. Thanks again for everything!!! I really appreciate the fact that you are always on top of every detail!!! I have enjoyed working with you and I will definitely be referring you to my friends when they are ready to purchase in the Cincinnati area."

"Amy met all of our needs. From the very first day we walked through the home buying process step-by-step so we never met any bumps or surprises in the road. She provided a great deal of information on different communities during our search for the perfect home, but still listened to what we wanted. When we were finally ready to make an offer, Amy was ready to meet with us on a Saturday night! She played a key role in negotiating the best price for our home which was an important factor in our purchase. She was always available to answer questions or meet with us beyond the day we signed the papers! She even recommended a great place nearby to help us with our pet's needs! In our first home purchase, the deal went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a great experience and we couldn't be happier with our house that has become a home! Thank you Amy!"

"While contemplating a move from the Philadelphia area to Cincinnati, we found Amy's impressive website that provided information about her services and relocation issues. When our house sold more quickly than we ever imagined, we scrambled to plan a quick trip to Cincinnati to find a new home. We were so rushed that we neglected to contact Amy until we were more than half-way to Cincinnati! Amy graciously responded to our request for help in finding a suitable home in Cincinnati and rearranged her schedule for the very next day so that she could immediately begin showing us properties. In a single afternoon, she showed us 8 houses in the Hyde Park area and in Anderson Township!

On the second day, we found a wonderful condo, but had some concerns about evidence of a water leak in a basement level room. To make a long story short, Amy, quite conscientiously and professionally guided us through negotiating with the sellers to secure their agreement to pay for the damage and repairs. She also helped us employ a contractor that responded to our request for help immediately! How often does that happen? We were most impressed with Amy's communications with us. She kept us informed throughout the purchase process - even when our closing conflicted with her honeymoon!

We are truly thankful that we found Amy through her fabulous website! Her help extended far beyond what we have briefly outlined. Perhaps best of all, we made a terrific new friend!"
