is the difference between a Sales Agent, a
REALTOR®
and what are you?
Both... I am a licensed
Salesperson for the state of Ohio through the
Ohio Department of Commerce
A Member of the
National Association of REALTORS, the Ohio Association of REALTORS,
Athens Board of REALTORS® And the Columbus Multiple Listing Service. The term REALTOR® is a registered collective membership mark that
identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION of REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of

the major champion of private property rights in Ohio: the rights you,
as an Ohio homeowner or potential home buyer, enjoy now and expect to
preserve for your children and grandchildren. OAR's members

Ethics.
I hold a Property Management Specialist
designation certification. I am also the owner of Hocking Hills Services, llc. Other memberships I belong to include: Hocking HIlls Tourism Association, Hocking HIlls Chamber of Commerce, and the Hide A Way Hills Club.
Are you a
part-time or full-time REALTOR®?
I'm here when you need me, although I own Hocking Hills Services this work is often scheduled around my real estate schedule. Most of the time when I'm not on real estate buy/sell appointments, one can find me prepping cabins for guest arrivials at one of the cabins or in my home office, doing paperwork!
Are you a
Buyers agent or a Sellers Agent?
I am a
Dual Agent I work with Buyers/Sellers/Landlords and Tenants helping all parties
come to "a meeting of the minds" pertaining to their Real Estate needs.
What days and
times are you available?
I’m
here when you need me including evenings, weekends, and most Holidays,
fortunately I have the flexibility to work around most schedules,
however keep in mind weekends and evenings do fill up quickly so
appointments are recommended.
How often
are you going to contact me?
It depends and it’s up to
you!!….. I personally don’t like “pushy salespeople” or someone trying
to convince me to buy something. Buying a home is one of the most
important investments a person can make I am here to assist you when YOU
are ready, providing you with all the latest information about the area
and homes. I’ve assisted Buyers who are ready “now” and Buyers who have
taken much longer (even years) to decide when the time was right for
them.
How do you stay
current on issues or rule changes in Hide-A-Way Hills? It
depends on my family and
work schedule, Hide A Way Hills Club offers members several ways to keep
up on issues and rule changes these include:
1.)
The HAH Club Echo a monthly
publication distributed to members from the HAH Club.
2.)

Have you ever
lived in Hide A Way Hills? Yes, but not currently - currently I live in the Hocking HIlls with is only about 15 minutes away.
How long
have you lived in the area?
My family moved here in 1979 (when I was
a teenager) prior to that, we lived in Columbus.
Would you
recommend HAH as a full-time or part-time residence?Either - It's all about what works for you... A little over 1/2 of the HAH members live here on a full time basis, many commuting to work in the Columbus area. With the new bypass, HAH is less then an hour from downtown.
Will I be
able to “shop online”?
Yes. In addition you should sign up for the "Personal Client Service" I use from the Columbus Board of REALTORS®. You receive even more details on each specific listing. This service is FREE and you always have the option to opt-out.
What should
my first step be when looking for a home/property? Location, location, location…..once you figure out where
you want to be (whether it’s in or outside of HAH) the home/property
will follow.
What should I wear? Please wear
comfortable clothes and shoes and keep the weather conditions in mind.
What if I decide
HAH isn’t for me?
I also work
with Buyers/Sellers/Landlords and Tenants in the surrounding Hocking and
Fairfield county areas.
What should
I expect on my first visit to HAH?
A FREE tour of the HAH area, lots of
information, if you have a high/low price range, we can also go through
a few of the homes currently on the market, so you can become familiar
with the pricing of the homes in the area.
Do you have
references?
Yes – supplied upon request
What is the best
way to get in touch with you?
My preferred method of contact is
through email
kim@hockinghillsohiorealestate.com
which allows you to correspond when it’s
convenient for you. However I frequently check voicemail, cell phones, faxes
and several social networking sites throughout the day. After leaving a message my response time is
usually within 24hrs.however, if we are working with deadlines this time
is greatly increased!!
