I had a lot of flexibility about when to sell my older home in Cuyahoga Falls. Although I was hesitant to sell in the winter, Will used data on previous home sales and stock to show how the time of year could be an asset. Similarly, he used prior sales and listings in the area to help price the house competitively. Will's advice throughout the process was excellent, as were his negotiating skills. He also had contacts with area businesses that made the minor repairs needed to my house easy and fast. Home selling is stressful, even with the best people helping you. But with Will, it was much less stressful, and much, much faster than I thought it would be. My 90-year old house had an offer and contract in less than a week and closed without a hitch. I highly recommend him.

Will and his associate, Tina, sold my house very quickly and were very helpful throughout the whole process. He gave me good information on how to price my house and followed through with everything. He even made arrangements for someone to come and do some repairs while I was not able to be home after the house inspection. I highly recommend Penney Real Estate.

Will was very helpful in instructing us how to successfully set up our home to sell. We had many showings and sold it in a couple of months. I'm glad we followed his advice. He also helped us purchase our current home. He was very patient with us as we looked at probably 30 houses until we found exactly what we were looking for. The whole process went smoothly and Will was very professional. I would recommend him highly.

We used Will for the sale of our home. From the start, he was a huge help. He helped us decide what needed to be done to present the house for sale in the best light, while minimizing the costs of those fixes. He helped us price the house correctly and react to changing market dynamics. He advertised the house well, both for local agents and buyers. He was timely, efficient, and appropriate in his dealings with offers, and helped us and the buyers through the closing process in the same manner. Will had to deal with a few issues that were truly beyond the usual domain of the realtor, which could have derailed the sale of the house but he handled them extremely well. I would highly recommend him to other sellers (and to buyers as well). - Beth C.

Our experience with Will Penney was tremendous. We all know that selling a home and purchasing a new home is an extremely stressful process, yet very rewarding as well. Will Penney knows this business inside and out. His expertise, confidence, upfront and open approach to assisting you throughout the entire process alleviates much of the stress and uncertainty in the home buying/selling process. Will was always in reach, answered all questions, kept us laughing and smiling, yet always was professional and polite. He sold our starter home within 10 day, and we absolutely love our new house. What makes Will, and Penney Real Estate so unique is that he genuinely cares about his clients. This continues long after the paperwork is complete, and you are comfortable in your new home. When we had a issue with our home warranty company, he personally called them, and within an hour, the issue was resolved. Four months after our closing date, we opened our in ground pool, and realized that the seller failed to disclose numerous issues. Will immediately fought for us, recommend an attorney, and followed up with us during the process to make sure everything was handled properly. This type of service is hard to come by these days, however, not with Will Penney! He is definitely one of a kind! My husband and I HIGHLY recommend him for any and all of your real estate needs!!!

Will Penney was interviewed among a group of high rated realtors in the Cleveland-Akron area. We were unfamiliar with him otherwise. Will was chosen because provided an impression of competence and solid understanding of the home buying and selling arena. Ask Will a numbers question and you'll get real figures to back up his answer. He is almost unfailingly there on the other end of your phone or email when you need to make contact. From beginning to end. A buyer was found within a day of our listing going online. When she became unable to complete a deal, Will immediately located another even more qualified buyer. Our home was sold at full list with no concessions. Will's office colleague, Rebecca Davey, got busy soon after and set up a number of new home showings. She was patient with us, provided excellent criticisms and insights for each property, and eventually found our next home within about two and a half weeks. Will did his part in negotiating their substantial price down into our purchasing budget. The original price was reduced by a significant percentage to our advantage. Small discrepancies were handled swiftly and efficiently. The bottom line is this - Will treats real estate as his business, not a hobby. He has just a small office and an efficient cadre of helpers to help you reach your goals. He has good intuition for marketable pricing, and he's not interested in dragging the process out for weeks or months on end. Penney Real Estate earned their commission by providing us with good service. We highly recommend this company.

With limited time to look for a home, very little inventory on the market and living out-of-state, I think the entire process went exceedingly well. I would highly recommend Mr. Penney and his team when considering a real estate agency!
Description of Work: Mr. Penney and his team helped us find the perfect home while we were out-of-state and made the closing process seamless. They went above and beyond with communication to us, the seller's real estate agent, the home inspector, and the lender to get things done. We had very specific needs in a home and Mr. Penney and his team made it a point to take them all into consideration as we were looking for our future home.

Will Penney and his staff were fantastic to work with! Will was very honest with me throughout the entire process of selling my home and repurchasing a new home. He recommended a fair price to list my house at and as a result, I accepted an offer in 14 days! Will was always very timely in his responses. No matter what time of day it was, Will would always reply. Will and his staff were extremely professional throughout the entire process. They made me feel very comfortable and thoroughly explained every step along the way. What could have been a very stressful time, was virtually stress-free thanks to Will. I would definitely recommend Will to my friends and family - he was great to work with!!

Our house had been on the market for four months with a different realtor when we contacted Will. He came in and told us the truth about comparable sales in the area and what we could realistically expect when selling our home. We listened to Will's advice, and sol the house within 3 weeks of switching the listing to Will. We have recently inherited a property that we will also be selling. Our first call was to Will. I highly recommend his team if you want to get your house sold.

It was a tremendous experience. We have bought and sold several homes in our lifetime. This was the smoothest experience of any. Will maintained great communication during every part of the process. His advise related to inspections, pricing, advertising and all other manner of annoying details was greatly appreciated. Will is by far the easiest Real Estate Agent we have ever worked with do to his direct approach to dealing with issues and buyer expectations. Very professional and extremely honest regarding realistic pricing and what it took to sell our home in our timeframe and price range. No exaggerated claims, no unqualified perspective buyers. He minimized our time in the process and deal aggressively but fairly with other Realtors and buyers. I would highly recommend Will Penney to friends and associates looking to sell their homes in a timely and efficient environment
Description of Work: Provided professional Real Estate services including assistance in pricing, compliance with all regulations and exceptional communication with prospective buyers. Did not trouble us with tasks he could or should provide. Did not attempt to modify terms or conditions of our contractual relationship.

Will Penney and Penney Real Estate represented us on the sale and purchase of our house and he did a wonderful job for us. Will is extremely knowledgeable and has a great deal of experience in real estate. During our process we ran into a few hurdles and Will resolved all of our issues. He is a great problem solver. Our house sold for 98% of the listing price and within two months. He far exceeded our expectations and left more money in our pocket. Will had the best interest of me and my family throughout the entire process. Will is a great communicator and was always available for a call, email, or text. Not only is Will very good at what he does, he has a great sense of humor to make the experience fun and enjoyable. Buying and selling a home can be a very stressful time, but Will made it a pleasant experience. If you're looking for a real estate agent, Will Penney is the only person that I would recommend.

Again, my family and I are super happy clients of Penny Real Estate. I thought we might never sell our home because we lived on such a busy street. Will told us exactly what we needed to do and helped us price the house to sell. Our home sold much quicker than I thought. With the purchase of our new home we were looking in a variety of areas and Tina offered experienced advice as we weighed the different options of living in certain locations. I feel we hit the jackpot with our new home, it's everything I wanted and the location is outstanding! Thanks again for your help Will and Tina!
Description of Work: Will and Tina went far above and beyond my expectations. They were both extremely knowledgeable in helping us both sell our home and with the purchase of our new home. Tina was our showing agent, and was awesome! Her flexibility to work with our schedules was great. I felt she accommodated all of our requests so quickly when we wanted to go see houses. She was great to work with. Will was awesome at helping us close the deal with both the sale and purchase of our homes.

Will Penny took such ownership and personal interest in my situation than I felt like I was his only client. Nothing feels as comforting as a professional who empathizes with you and is responsive through the entire buying/selling process. Will excels in his job because he cares deeply about his clients and their success.

This was not an easy sale, as the house was located in a 100-year flood zone. Additionally, there had been problems with the storm sewers in the area; these had been corrected by the City of Akron. When it became obvious that these circumstances could lead to misunderstanding among potential buyers, Mr. Penney took care to inform any buyers / buyers agents of the related facts. In at least one case, it was my perception that he even gave another real estate agent a bit of a tutorial on the topic of 100-year flood zones and flood insurance. Mr. Penney was a strong advocate during negotiations once an offer was received. I live approximately 700 miles away from this property and was initially concerned that selling the property might be (choose your favorite adjective) difficult, confusing, unpleasant, painful. It was none of those; Mr. Penney's agency answered all my questions, kept me informed, and took care of details making the entire process proceed smoothly.

It went very well!! In my opinion Will is the best real estate agent in Stow. He has a vast amount of knowledge and experience dealing with the real estate market in Stow and the surrounding communities. He kept us up to date on all the details when we were selling our home and then buying our new home. We bought our new home the day it went on the market and he worked very late into the night to get our offer written and to the sellers agent. He works extremely h****** behalf of his clients on both the buying and selling end. I have complete confidence in his abilities and continue to refer him to other families.

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about Will Penney and Penney Real Estate. Will assisted us in selling our home after a bad experience with another Realtor. Will really knows his stuff. He knew exactly where to price our home to sell it quickly which we did, selling it in just 30 days. Will also assisted us in purchasing our new home and his associate Rebecca did a great job showing us a multitude of houses in a short amount of time. I really appreciated that Will included areas in our search that we would not have considered. Because of his expertise, we found the perfect home for our family. He negotiated a great deal and kept us informed through the whole process. You never have to worry about Will getting back to you, he is in constant communication and always reachable by phone, email and text. If you are looking to sell or buy and want a professional who will listen to you and advise you Will Penney and Penney Real Estate are the perfect choice!!

Will helped us buy our home in Hudson in 2009, and helped us sell it in 2014, both good experiences. Penney Real Estate is a small, but experienced, office. They know the markets they serve and operate with integrity. Will was especially helpful in navigating the process and keeping us informed of upcoming deadlines and "what-if" scenarios. Their experience came through when we got into a dual offer situation, and they advised us well and to a great outcome. If you're looking for straight-up communication and the security of having his team take ownership of the buying/selling process, Penney is your realtor.

Will helped us sell our home. He didn't just list it, he helped us get it ready for showings, offering advice and constructive criticisms. No matter how ready you think you are, having a professional give it the once over is always a good idea. He also helped us settle on a realistic listing price, spending time making sure we understood the process and the repercussions and advantages of picking the all important list price. He kept us informed and involved from start to finish and did his best to make sure we were happy and satisfied every step of the way. And he sold it within the first 24 hours. We took all his advice and information very seriously and it worked. This guy knows what he's doing and does it very, very well. Choose Will Penney and you won't be sorry.

Will Penney was an awesome agent, professional and punctual with all correspondence. Will came up with the list amount and marketing plan that worked great, we had a 99% offer/asking in three days on market. The whole closing process went smoothly because Will is good at his job, there were a couple of hiccups along the way that Will addressed quickly and effectively. We definitely recommend Penney Realty, and have already recommended him to family and friends.

He was very knowledgeable. It was not fluffy knowledge; he was straight to the point. He showed me things that I was having had a good sense of what I was looking for. In terms of price, it was standard; it was a standard real estate fee. I would use their services again in the future.
