Penny is not only a friend but has been my realtor on a few buying and selling of homes. She was so correct in what she advised me to pay attention to in readying our house for listing, as I was concerned over every little issue. She was right. Being as it had been a while since I sold my last house, she kept me updated on all the new processes and procedures. The home sold very quickly with multiple offers. She was able to decipher the legal terminology in the different contracts offered in order for us to choose the best one. It worked! Penny has been in the business for over 30 years, therefore knowing the best route to take when selling and buying!

And she recommended a great moving company.

Penny Smith has been our adovcate throughout the sale of our home, and has real estate expertise that she used to insure our home sale made it to completion.
First, I was impressed that Penny knew several aerial photographers. She contacted one who took awesome stills and video of our home. The photos were clear and made it easy for a potential buyer to want to come and tour our home.
Penny guided us through 4 different potential sales, each of which requlired working with a different realtor and buyer. The difficulties she dealt with include low ball offers, questions about the sale of furniture in our home, understanding that some buyers only make one offer and will not counter-offer, and price selection in order to generate market interest.
Penny understands at what price a home should be listed, and when to adjust the price in order to encourage showings. In fact, after changing the price upon her encouragement, we had 2 more showings.
One quality that sets Penny apart from all other realtors is her advocacy. From the beginning it is clear she represented us as homeowners and only us. When I explained frustrations about an offer, she listened patiently and offered understanding. She explained the components of the real estate contract, and she took action to advocate our position with the other side which ultimately resulted in a very good compromise on closing costs and home warranty costs. This is just one example out of many which shows Penny knows what buyers want, and works with the buyers' agent to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients.
Besides being accessible at all times, Penny used docusign to make the authentication of documents fast and easy.
There are many stresses associated with selling a home and moving. Penny's understanding of this process, her wise advocacy, and her pleasant nature have earned our highest recommendation.

Penny Smith was our real estate agent for the recent sale of our home in Westerville. As a result of Penny's efforts we were able to get an agreed upon offer for our home within just six days of our listing being activated for a very agreeable amount. Penny was also very timely as a go between in all of our interactions with the buyers. As a result we were able to complete the closing process quickly.
Penny worked closely with us to coordinate the sale of our home with the completion of our newly built home resulting in a smooth transition requiring only one move. This happened despite a volatile building schedule with our new home that required changes in the schedule for selling our home in Westerville.
All in all, my wife and I were very happy to work with Penny and would recommend her to others as a good person to work with on their home sale.

Penny is truly AMAZING! What started off as a completely different search, Penny was patient with us as we navigated the market to find exactly what we didn't know we wanted. She found a TRUE diamond in the rough and was helpful during the whole buying process. She made our "summer home" purchase so incredibly seamless. She is truly exceptional, and we appreciate her beyond words!

Penny Smith is quite simply the best real estate agent my wife & I have ever dealt with - professional, personable and very creative. She handled a very difficult estate sale of a condo in Columbus, Ohio for us while we were stuck out here in California due to the pandemic. We will be ever thankful that we were able to work with such a skilled & knowledgable agent. TONY & LEILA LEHTONEN

Very happy with the work that Penny did! She sold our house in less than a month. She also helped me with doing some things in the house after I had moved out of state during the sale. Her expertise helped make the process easier and she was always willing to help. I highly recommend her for anyone else needing to sell their house!

Penny was great - she had specific knowledge of the neighborhood and what the market was for our home. She provided guidance on staging the home, number of open houses planned, local demand for homes in our area and the home was priced right from the start. She was available anytime to talk about strategy and timing. When presented with our plan to sell back in 2024 - she suggested the time line which worked out perfectly for us. Needless to say - the quickness in obtaining a qualified buyer was fantastic! We were luck to list with Penny and apricated her professionalism and honesty throughout the process.

Penny Smith is the gold standard for realtors. When purchasing our new home, Penny helped us to successfully navigate the bidding process. She kept us very well informed of each step of the buying process. Her expertise and calm nature made the experience smooth. Penny then helped us sell our previous home. She kept us on track for an open house date, and helped us successfully sell our home quickly and efficiently. Even after the experience, Penny has checked back in on us to see if we needed anything. We not only consider Penny an EXCELLENT realtor but also a friend.

I just can't say enough about Penny Smith! She was right with us every step of the way, from an initial consultation right down to the last stroke of the closing document pen! We never had to wonder what our status was along the way and often just checked in to see how we were feeling. Even after the closing, Penny offered advice as we needed an expert opinion about our new house closing process. Do not hesitate to hire Penny!!!

As a first time home buyer, I had many questions, fears and concerns. Penny Smith could not have been a better realtor for us to answer every question, calm all fears and take care of any concerns.
She is honest and forthright without making you feel pressured. Her calm and kind demeanor truly makes you feel comfortable and confident in your decision.
I would/will highly recommend Penny to anyone looking to buy their next home.

Penny did a great job for us and she was even able to determine the correct listing price, such that the appraisal agreed with her estimate.
Penny was easy to work with and very helpful in the listing and sale of our home.
Here during and after sale hand holding was very spot on and greatly appreciated, by both my wife and I.
Penny would be our first choice if we had another property to sell.

My husband & I have moved a lot for his career so we’ve worked with many realtors over the years. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to choose an agent with the kind of experience Penny brings to the table. Buying/selling a house can be stressful so you want to choose a realtor who’s been through the high and lows of the market and someone who can navigate it all to get your house sold quickly. Add to that the connections Penny has within the industry and she goes beyond the usual means of attracting the right buyers for your home. Working with Penny was by far the smoothest selling experience we’ve ever had. And get this, she even made the process fun! Whether you’re buying or selling or both, you’ll be so glad you chose Penny.

Penny was very knowledgeable of the Columbus market, she gave great advice on how to upgrade our condo to sell. Her team was so nice to work with and everyone communicated well even when it was long distance. She was constantly updating us through the whole process which made everything go so smooth. The condo had a lot of exposure and sold very quickly. If anyone is interested in selling or buying a home....I highly recommend Penny.
