From Dave and Kathy Boose- Stow

Dear Will,

The third time must really be a charm!

After listing with two other realty firms over the course of nearly 18 months, you sold our home in less than a month. Nice job with some creative advertising.

Thanks for the efforts.

From Ken and Melissa Klubnick- Stow

Thank you Will!

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Penney Real Estate Co. on selling my home in three short days.

Showing a home, signing paperwork, and collecting money was simple. Will advised us on all the selling points that our home had to offer. We followed his instructions and four showings later we celebrated our first offer.

Will is honest and professional and he will sell your home on time.

Diane Evans- Cuyahoga Falls

Prior to listing my house for sale, Will gave me a checklist of things to do to help increase my home's value. As a result my home sold very quickly, and for top dollar! Will's follow-up and attention to detail made the process move along very smoothly. I highly recommend Penney Real Estate Company!

Brent and Marci Held- Tallmadge

Thank you for all of the advice and attention we received in our recent transaction. Will and everyone at Penney Real Estate Co. walked us through the selling and buying process, and helped us feel comfortable with our decisions. Our phone calls were returned promptly, and we always got honest answers.

The Hladky Family- Stow

After a horrendous experience with a limited service, discount Realtor, I found Will Penney. Will is truly a full-service Realtor. He quickly responds to calls and his follow-up is excellent.

Will recently sold our home as well as an apartment building. He understands the marketplace, was pro-active in selling our properties, and has a great working relationship with other Realtors. I was very confident in Will's ability to handle all the details of these two transactions.

We were lured in by the promise of big savings with a discount broker, but in the end we were much further ahead using the services of Penney Real Estate Co.

...Thanks for everything.

John and Mari-Lynn-Tallmadge

Overall, our experience was excellent! The amount of time and effort spent shopping for the home made us feel like our purchase was the most important. The knowledge of the area helped narrow the prospective homes and produce a purchase price that seemed fair. I would certainly recommend Penney Real Estate Company as well as plan to use Penney Real Estate Show we ever sell.

John Violette - Cuyahoga Falls

I chose an independent real estate company and recieved maximum customer service. The communication was top notch! Great marketing plan. The listing lasted 6 days before the property was sold. I highly recommend Penney Real Estate Co.- A truly professional organization.

Carolyn Carr of Akron

Barry took the time to explain all procedures of selling this property. There were things that needed repair and he knew people that could do the job correctly, fast and reasonably priced. I thank him for that. The man has great integrity, honesty, and reliability. I'm sure as we go forward, he will be able to find my next home. -Thanks Barry

Jamie and Christy Bowen of Akron

Thank you for being such a great help in guiding us through the process of buying our first home. Your service was first class, and we felt like we could really trust you in every step along the way. We were also very pleased with everyone that you recommended to us for mortgage financing and home inspections. Thanks again, we truly enjoyed working with you adn we would be more than willing to refer your services to our friends and family.

Brian Vande Putte of Akron

I'll make this simple and easy to understand. Will Made my first home buying journey an easy and painless one. I trust his knowledge in this field and I'll recommend him to you our any one else who asks. Will is a good person who will guide you in the right direction.

The Collier family of Kent

Will, Barry and Maggie are all gems! Any time we called, we knew whomever answered the phone would take the time to help with our questions. WIll is on top of responding to calls, and is current on his understanding of today's real estate market. Barry was even available to show us a house, the one time Will was not, to accomodate our schedule. Penney Real Estate Company is truly a team effort.

C. Sansone of Cuyahoga Falls

Will helped me by keeping me focused on one detail at a time, especially since I was purchasing and selling! Will's sense of humor kept me light hearted. Thanks for the memories...

Leon and Jeannie McElwain

Being real estate investors, we've bought and sold a lot of property in our life time. In 1995 we met Will Penney. He helped us with our purchase of an investment property. We were so impressed with the service that we used his services in purchasing several other properties. This year he sold our principal residence and he helped us find our new home. I would, and have, recommended Penney Real Estate Company to friends and family who've been very satisfied also.

C.J. Dennison of Akron

I found Penney Real Estate Company to be honest and really interested in what was best for me. They took the time to walk me through the process. Also, made valuable recommendations without pressuring me to use a certain resource. I was completely satisfied with the service provided by Penney Real Estate Co. and will be using them in the future.

Deidre Bullock- Akron

Will- It was a indeed a pleasure working with you. As a first time buyer, I was very nervous about the process in the beginning. However, your direct and honest communication made for an excellent experience. Your commitment to helping me find the right house and a sound investment made it clear that you weren't rushing me. It was obvious that you were invested in my happiness. Thanks so much for all your work.

Ken and Kendra Crookston- Kent

Our experience with Will Penney was quite favorable. He has helped us purchase two homes in Kent. On both occassions there was tough competition during the bidding process. Mr. Penney was able to ensure that our bids were accepted by the sellers, by working quickly and professionally. I would recommend Penney Real Estate To any buyer looking for personal quality service.

Chariti Owens- Akron

Barry was great! He was always very easy to get ahold of. We had no difficulty scheduling times to see houses with him. As we got closer to selling our property, he always called to let us know exactly what was going on. He did a great job marketing our house and letting us know what types of advertising he was doing. He was a great communicator! He was always good at giving ideas on houses that we looked at, but was never pushy. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Helen Zeitouni- Cuyahoga Falls

My experience with Penney Real Estate Company was a most favorable one. I will be ever grateful for both Barry's knowledge and expertise in negotiation- without his timely attention to detail, as well as his mentorship of me (as a seller) and the buyer (and her real estate agent), I am sure the sale of my house would not have proceeded as smoothly and as satisfactorily for all parties involved. My thanks again, to you and to all of your staff.

Ed and Bonnie Batman- Cuyahoga Falls

We appreciated all the tips for getting our home ready for sale, and explaining all of the paperwork that goes into a sale. The advice, caring and finally the sale were both professional and personal.

P.S.- I wish actually moving and packing, etc. was as easy as you made the sale of our home!

The Rahe Family of Stow

Our experience with Penney Real Estate Company consisted of a thorough process that involved suggestions, constant communication and knowledge and experience in the local market. This process made for a wonderful and friendly experience for our family of seven when selling our house and buying our family dream home.

Lee and Dawn Watkins- Hudson

The sale of our home was challenging because we had recently spent a great deal of money improving and expanding our home, putting it out of neighborhood comparables. But as 23 year Hudson residents, we had no thoughts of relocating. So much for long range plans... careers take unexpected turns and our's required an out of state move.

Initially, we tried to sell the home ourselves. With no luck, we then contracted with a prominent real estate company in Hudson, expecting that their powerful marketing ability would bring quick results. Over the six months of our contract, and even after lowering the price of the house several times, there was little activity and no offers to buy.

So on the advice of a mutual associate, we were guided to Penney Real Estate Company. Under Will Penney's direction, even though we were in the "slow season," there was increased activity and several prospective buyers identified. Will Penney's aggressive approach in providing sensible advice and finally a successful sale was impressive. He made it happen... and within 10 weeks!

Will, and all those in his company, kept us closely informed. Follow up was very focused because their whole attitude is positive and determined. The knowledge and experience of a Realtor is key to customer satisfaction, and therefore the success of the company they represent. We are pleased to recommend Penney Real Estate Company to anyone.

Helen R. - Hudson

Thank you for the extraordinary job you did in selling my home in Canterbury on the Lakes. I could not have imagined it selling so quickly and for the price I wanted.

My previous experience with you indicated that you were the best Realtor for the job. I was anxious, however, as I watched the houses around me being listed by better known real estate companies. I wondered how you would compete with the “bigger names”.

The answer soon became obvious. Driving through my former neighborhood, I can still see many for sale signs. -But not in front of my house!

I counted on you and you exceeded my every
expectation.

John and Amy Marzich of Wadsworth

Unbelievable! Will Penney of Penney Real Estate Co. both sold our home in North Akron and helped us purchase a new home in Wadsworth, all within 2 months! We had worried about getting our house sold as many homes listed in our North Hill neighborhood had been sitting on the market for months. Will Penney was confident that he could sell our home. We found him to be an excellent negotiator. In the purchase of our new home, Maggie was fantastic! She was very patient and kind, and extremely flexible with her time allowing us to see all of the homes we wanted to see. Will Penney coordinated the possession dates of both homes to give us a smooth moving experience. He was organized and kept us up to date with everything happening with both houses. He was readily available by cell phone and followed up with details. If you are looking for a dedicated agent, you want Penney Real Estate Company.

Andree Cannata of Uniontown

Dear Will,

I was very pleased with your help in the selling of my house. You were always there for every phone call, and went out of your way to spend time explaining the laws of selling a house. You are a very good agent, and I look forward to doing business with your firm in the future. Thanks for all you have done for me. The real estate market is a tough market. -Lots of competition. You made it happen for me in record time, and I would highly recommend your services again in a heartbeat to any body! Thanks again.

Dr. and Mrs. John and Lisa Foss of Stow

Will- What a wonderful experience it was to work with you! Not only were you able to find us a wonderful new home, but were also able to sell our existing house and building lot quickly. We were so impressed with how helpful and knowledgeable you were. Thank you so much for making this transition for our family as easy as possible.

Tom and Victoria Novak of Seville

We would like to take this opportunity to express our most sincere appreciation for all the time and effort you put into helping us sell our condo. You were accessible around the clock (which was often needed in our case) and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the selling process. Your knowledge and experience in the field was a huge asset for two first-time home sellers.
After dealing with Penney Real Estate for the purchase of our new home, we felt confident that we would benefit from the trustworthy professionalism exhibited by your agency when it came time to sell our place. You always had our best interest in mind. We are so greatful for all your assistance in helping us navigate our way through this often stressful and drawn out process. It was a pleasure.

Mark and Jane Hudkins- North Akron

Dear Will,

Thank you so much for your expert service and knowledge on selling our house. It was very comforting knowing that I had someone that was reliable and dependable, and answered so many of my questions.

Being a first time seller, I was overwhelmed at first, but you made me feel comfortable. I appreciate all of your hard work and I will definitely recommend your real estate company to friends, neighbors and family.

As I told you, I received your company's name through a friend mine. He was very pleased with your company and your services. Thank you so much for selling my property.

Adam and Jennifer Gibson of Fairlawn

Jennifer and I wanted to thank you for your help and the extra time you took to guide us through the purchase of our first home. Whenever we had a question or concern, you and your staff were available to answer our questions and provide sound advice. Although our schedules and work locations were less than ideal for a home search for the area in which we were looking, you were always accomodating and willing to meet or talk when/where it was convenient for us.

I'd also like to point out that all of the various people you have recommended to us (electrician, heating/cooling contractor, etc.) have turned out to be first-rate people who, like yourself, accept nothing but the highest quality work. We will certainly be contacting you in the future when we have the need or desire to make improvements or repairs to the house.

Finally, my wife and I greatly appreciate your honesty and the low-pressure tactics you and your team employ. At no time did we feel pressured to buy any house, and we always got the impression that the decisions were ours to make and that you would respect and support them whether you agreed or not. We will certainly be retaining your services whenever we eventually sell this house, and we have already advised our families and friends to do the same if ever they decide to buy or sell a house in the area.

Thank you again for making our first home purchase such a pleasant and memorable experience.

Sincerely,
Adam and Jennifer Gibson

Matt and Cynthia Spellman of Stow

We would like to thank Will and his staff at Penney Real Estate for the recent sale of our home. Will and his staff were extremly professional, always reliable, and kept us informed during every step of the process. We always felt that they truly cared and did everything possible to get our house sold. They gave a personal touch while always remaining professsional. I do not think you get this same attention from other companies. We are truly glad we went with Penney Real Estate and we highly reccommend them to meet your real estate needs.

Dave and Heather Wright of Stow

David and I would like to take the time to thank you for the hard work and dedication you and your staff offered us while we were searching for our perfect home. It was refreshing to have an agent who was available to answer our questions or drive us around from house to house at a moments notice. The entire staff at Penney Real Estate was professional, courteous, flexible with their time, honest, and knowledgeable. We could not have asked for a better real estate agency. You actually made searching for a new home fun! Will Penney and Penney Real Estate are #1 in our book. We would definitely recommend using Penney Real Estate.

Steve and Kate Jackson of Cuyahoga Falls

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Will Penney for his dedicated assistance with our recent real estate transactions. With his help we listed and sold our existing home with a single showing, and within 60 days had also purchased and moved into our new home. I don't think we could have asked for a quicker, more hassle-free experience. Will was always readily available to answer any questions or concerns we had, and gave us honest and complete answers. His professionalism, low-pressure sales approach, and extensive knowledge of the area real estate market gave us confidence that we made the right decision in choosing Penney Real Estate Company. We would highly recommend Will Penney to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property in the greater Akron area. You will not find a more dependable, trustworthy, and professional Realtor.

I think the hardest part about writing this was trying to condense all of the great things we have to say about you into one simple paragraph!! Thank you, Will, for your dedicated and personal service, and for making our transaction as smooth as possible. It was a pleasure working with you, and we will certainly keep in touch.

Bob and Betsy Davies of Hudson

Many thanks for your efforts in locating a home in Hudson for us. Needless to say, purchasing a home from over 1,000 miles away, site unseen, could have been a difficulty. But, I had significant confidence in you given our conversations, and your role as our agent in this purchase worked exceedingly well.
Thanks for the many hours placed forth on our behalf. Your recommendations paid off with a great purchase, good financing, and a clean closing.
Our very best to you and your staff.

The Bradley Family of Stow

Our experience working with Will Penney and his staff was very professional and helpful in order to get us into our new home quickly and problem free. We appreciate the odd hours he had to work in order to work with our schedule. Thanks Will and Maggie and we look forward to spending many happy years in our new home.

Neil Ulichney of Cuyahoga Falls

I believe that Will approaches his profession with the attitude, "If I were a homebuyer, what would I want my agent to do for me?" His knowledge and skill in guiding me throughout this complicated endeavor made me feel completely confident in his abilities. His attention to me and my needs made me feel as if I were his only client. Every telephone call or email was promptly returned, and his easy humor and professionalism with you as his client affords him the avenues that enable him to get to know you and your needs personally.

Will made sure that I was completely comfortable with the entire process, without any hint of pressure from him for me to make a decision. After viewing dozens of houses, Will telephoned me late one evening after a particular house had its initial viewing to the area realtors, and enthusiastically said, "Neil, I found your home!" He wasn't kidding! I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I will certainly not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Ken and Meg Guest of Akron

Will, Meg and I wanted to write you to sincerely thank you for a wonderful experience we had working with you on the sale of our home.

As I am sure you see all the time, buying or selling a home can be a very emotional experience for the client involved. We were particularly anxious, as we had already committed on a new home and really needed to sell our home. You took all the anxiety and worry out of the process with your constant level of communication. From receiving the letters from your marketing staff informing us of all the different places you were listing our home (we had never seen someone do that before), to always being able to reach you when we had a question or concern. If we couldn't reach you, I cannot think of a time that you did not return my call within the hour of leaving a message.

We had a recent bad experience with a different realtor from one of the large real estate companies, in which the normal amount of time it would take to get a return phone call was a WEEK. After dealing with you, we will never use another real estate company.

I have already personally recommended you to 3 different people because of our experience and I plan on using you to help sell our Grandmother's home and a lot that we own.

Thanks so much, what a great experience. Please feel free to give anyone that is considering using your firm, our phone number, should they have any questions about working with you.

Dr. Diana Biordi of Silver Lake

Although I had only briefly mentioned the possiblity of selling my house a year earlier, Will remembered my idea when he had a family looking for a house like mine. He brought them to my attention, and, given the Akron market, I decided to sell if they wanted to buy. They looked at the property and decided to buy! After that, Will moved things along in a most timely fashion, checking every step of the transaction and reminding me of the next step as one was completed and another had to begin. I am grateful for Will's ability to see potential, his thoroughness, and the rapidity of our business transaction. I would recommend him to anyone seeking to buy or sell their home.

Dr. and Mrs. Jeff and Meredith Junko of Hudson

We had the pleasure of working with Will Penney and his staff during the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house. Will was able to give us tips on making the house attractive to buyers and guided us through the selling process. We had listed with a larger company for several months, and were disappointed with the lack of marketing and follow through with potential buyers. Will and his staff always promptly return calls and make you feel like your business is important and they strive to meet every need. We were living out of state and Will handled all of the transactions for us and made sure the sale went through on time. He also frequently checked on the house for us since we were living out of state. A few months later, Will helped us purchase our new home. Because of his knowledge of the housing market, we were able to find our new home in three days. Will listened to our needs and had arranged for us to have access to the houses even before we arrived in town. He then guided us through the purchase and closing of the home, all while we were living in Utah. Will was able to point out things in the homes that we saw that we never would have observed. He has an amazing way of giving you information, then allowing you to make the decision. Not only did he stay on top of the details of closing, Mary actually was at the house during the inspection since we were still living out of state. You will not get that personal attention from any other company. Since I have used Penney Real Estate Co. for both buying and selling, I can confidently recommend this company.

The Yagersz Family- Tom, Stacie and JT

We would like to thank you so very much for all of your hard work and time you put into the purchase of our new home. Both Will and Maggie were very professional and timely with all transactions and made sure nothing was missed! We all are very happy here in Seville and you and your company will always come highly recommended by us!

Mark and Holly Johnson of Stow

As first time home buyers, my fiance and I were very unaware of the entire process. However, Barry was very patient and helpful explaining each aspect of our purchase. His generosity with his time available to us was a huge reason we found the perfect home. Barry's courteous attitude, and extensive knowledge of his industry were an enormous help, and will have us back with him on our next purchase. Thanks for making this experience one my Fiance and I will long enjoy looking back on!

Resa and Gary Gritz of Stow

My husband and I can't say enough about Penney Real Estate Company. Knowing that we were first time sellers, Will took the time to guide us through the process. We received constant updates, professional advice and within 11 days my home was sold!

For professionalism and quality customer service we recommend Penney Real Estate Company!

Tad and Trudi Carroll - Hudson

Thanks and congratulations to your team! We fully appreciated your personal attention to detail, and your success in selling our home in a timely manner during a difficult real estate market. With an empty house and living out of state, it was a comfort to know you were always available 24/7 to answer questions or address concerns.

Prior to being referred to Penney Real Estate Co., we had worked with larger real estate companies in the area. By signing up with your team, we quickly learned the meaning of "doing whatever it takes". Tremendous effort and communication second to none. We thank you and wish you the best.

The Taylors of Northfield Center

Will,



Being a mortgage consultant I’ve bumped into all types of realtors (the good and the not so good). So it didn’t take me long to understand why you are so successful. It’s your attention to detail and constant follow up that sets you apart from the crowd. I knew right from the start you were the right person for my family. Never leave this profession Will. You're a breath of fresh air.

Sincerely,

Michael Taylor

Jamie and Christy Bowen of Akron

This is the second time we have worked with Will, and each time he has done an outstanding job for us. Will is a genuinely honest and ethical individual, and a true professional. The sale of our house could not have gone more smoothly, as it was only on the market for four days, and Will answered every question we had, making every step of the process worry free. He treated us like we were his most important clients every time we spoke with him. We have recommended Penney Real Estate to our friends and family, and we would not consider contacting anyone else the next time we need a realtor.

Jamie and Christy Bowen

Steve Bedrava of Springfield

I would like to thank you and Maggie for making the purchase of my first home easy. You took me through every detail step by step and made sure I wasn’t getting myself into the wrong house. I appreciate both of you being able to work around my crazy work schedule. Thanks again.

Mary Larocca of Kenmore

I would highly recommend Will of Penney Real Estate Company to sell your house. He was courteous and helpful at all times and kept me informed.

Oldham family of Bath

Will was instrumental in selling our old house and buying a new one. In buying our new house, he made it easy and convenient to get showings. His experience helped identify potential problems in several houses we initially liked. We eventually found a fantastic home, and he helped with negotiations and paperwork. He was easy to contact, and he was always prompt and professional.



Will got our old house sold in less than a month in a tough market. I think his good reputation and reliability helped get other realtors to the house with their clients.

Benn Jenson- Uniontown

From the beginning of our business transaction, I told William Penney to be "bluntly honest with me and to inform me if I could truly pay for this house with my income" when he asked me how he could be of service to me. Will definitely lived up to his end of the bargain, stating things in easy-to-understand ways that a new home-buyer such as myself needed. Some people could probably say that Will is a bit "abrasive" when he tells you how it is, but I enjoyed the fact that he was bluntly honest with me, since I personally don't enjoy people giving me the run around. As I said, Will made things easy to understand and he also made it simple to guide me through the turbulent waters that the first-time home-buyer can experience in such a situation. He told me that he
would "hold my hand and guide me correctly" throughout the purchase of my house and helps tremendously. The contacts that Will has in relation to mortgage lenders, title companies, and inspection services is unparalelled and it was a great comfort to know that Will was in my corner the entire time.

I appreciated Will's honesty, bluntness, and knowledge throughout the numerous steps that I had to undertake to purchase my first house. I would suggest his expert opinion and knowledge to anyone in the market for either selling or purchasing a new house. He gets things done when he says he will, he makes everything easy to understand, and he makes the multitude of tasks/steps in the home-buying process feel like only one step. Will and his associates have a great thing going and I feel priviledged and honored to have done business with them. Again, I would suggest Will's knowledge of real estate and home-buying to ANYBODY.

It was a great experience and I honestly mean this
when I say that Will can make the arduous task of
home-buying very easy-going and enjoyable!

Will Munko and Jodi Rose of Stow

It took over 2 years, 4 real estate companies and 4 Realtors to find and buy a house. In less than one month Will Penney helped us find a house. We closed in what I thought was a record 18 days, to get us in the house by years end.

He pledged to make our first home a happy experience. He fulfilled that pledge completely. When we sell this home it will be through Penney Real Estate Co. Thanks for finding the first home we always wanted.

Larry Olson of Akron

I wanted to thank you for the quick, professional manner in which my home was sold. With the severe problems in today's housing market, I fully expected to experience a long, tedious wait in trying to sell. I was pleasantly surprised at the actual sale. We talked in the early part of July and you had a couple of offers within a few days. I ended up closing on the 20th of June with a cash buyer and a very satisfactory selling price.

The whole process went very smoothly and professionally. I also appreciated your commitment to keeping me informed of all activity throughout the complete transaction. It is very rare that a customer has this type of communication and it made my transaction much easier than many others I have had.

Thanks again,

Larry Olson

Tim Lafleur- Munroe Falls

We worked with Will to find our first home, on the recommendation of a close friend. Not only was his approach very professional but also honest and realistic which we found invaluable. Will wasn't interested in finding us just any house, but a great house. My fiancee and I both appreciated the insight and knowledge that he brought to the table as well as his desire to make sure that we got the "perfect" house for us. With Will's guidance we were able to find our perfect house for a great deal. He was very responsive through out the process which helped help keep the stress of buying a house to a minimum. I have no reservations in recommending Will to others, in fact both myself and my fiancee have already done so. Thank you Will for helping us find our home!
