Once I found the house I was interested in, Will helped push the process from beginning to end. Even though it was a lengthy process due to seller/title company/bank issues, Will did whatever was possible to make the process as quick and unobtrusive as possible. Thanks for the help.

Will was excellent to deal with. As a first time home buyer he explained the entire process upfront in detail and was very honest with me. He was also able to accommodate me during late hours as I could take very little time off work. I can safely say that I am extremely satisfied with Will Penney.

Will helped us find the perfect house and followed through on every key aspect throughout the process! After guiding us through the process of purchasing our new home, he then turned around and helped us sell our current home within just weeks of closing on our new home! His knowledge and expertise provided us with confidence and trust to know that he was the best person to work with in our area.

I would recommend Will for all your home selling/home buying needs. He is very knowledgeable. He explains everything that is taking place. He always returns phone calls, texts or e-mails. He sold my house within 29 days with 22 showings, 5 second time showings, 2 offers and never had a sign in my front yard. I am very pleased with everything he did for me.

Walked me through every step of the way in buying my first home. I had no clue what I was getting into in finding and buying a house and he explained everything that needed done and then proceeded to set all the wheels in motion. He worked around my scheduled with no problems(I work third shift), had everything laid out ahead of scheduled and when I had a question he was swift with a response to what I needed to do. He would already have files with numbers that I needed to call in order to complete the sale without any problems or had them e-mailed to me as soon as I asked. I have recommended him to some people already and will do so in the future. Just want to say thanks to Will again for making my home buying experience painless and smooth. Thank You

We were very thankful to have Will help us purchase our first house. From the very beginning, he did a good job outlining the entire process, setting us up on the MLS notification system, and guiding us and updating us throughout the purchasing process. Although he normally works in Stow and the surrounding areas, he made the effort to come out to Medina and show us several homes, and we loved the first one we walked through. Will was a hard worker and was very quick to respond via phone, text, and e-mail even in the evenings and during the weekend. In addition, Will was a good communicator and negotiator - we felt like he was on our side as he represented us as buyers. Overall, we were very pleased with our first home buying experience. We highly recommend Will for anyone looking to purchase or sell a house. -Michael and Alexandra Less

To say that I was clueless until I met Will is an understatement. Will more than "held my hand" from the very beginning through closing. I can honestly say I do not think I would have found my house without his help. He is prompt, honest, and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a relator contact Will !

We retained Will's services after listing with another realtor for 6 months. We actually received an offer within 3 days from a buyer that had originally viewed our home under our first realtor. Will was very helpful in negotiating the best offer and we reached a satisfactory offer for close to our asking price after 3 rounds of offers. Will was especially helpful during the closing process as our initial closing date was delayed for 3 weeks and then again for a few days near the end due to issues with the buyers switching lenders. During these delays Will was helpful in giving advice in how we should deal with requests from the buyer and also in keeping in close and consistent contact with both lenders to make sure that everything was progressing. Throughout the entire process with Will he was always quick to respond to questions and concerns via phone,email or text. He also was quick to reach out when questions needed to be addressed on our end. Our only regret was that we didn't retain Will originally. Less

After five years of having property on the market with several different real estate agents, I was frustrated with the lack of success. Then I contacted Penney Real Estate Company; Will Penney was able to sell the property in less than six months and for more than the asking price. His results are impressive. If you are serious about selling your home, then you need not look further then Penney Real Estate Company.

His knowledge and expertise in our local market is by far the best.

"I don't mean to brag but this is the best house in the price range.." That was the opening sentence in the description Will wrote for our home. We had an offer at asking price with in 3 days. When we first met Will we explained that with school starting we had limited time to sell our home, find and buy another and move. He took the time to understand our situation and what needed to happen. He let us know it could be done (we were doubtful) and how we could do it. He knew that we could start our kids in the new school system before we closed on our new house. He was very in tune with what we were looking for and the market and found a home for us before it was even put on the market. If you want sound business acumen, market knowledge and someone to take the reins with your best interests at heart, call Will. Less

Will worked for us in many ways. He placed our home on many of the online real estate websites. Worked with other agents to promote our home. He offered advice on the selling price to get to a proper price to actually move our property.
He suggested various things we should do to get our home in "showing" condition.
Without these suggestions I believe our home would not have sold so quickly. When we got an offer he worked, through us, with the buyer's agent to finally get our home sold. He handled all of the details and explained these details to us about what we had to do next or what was going to happen with us as a seller. Less

He never had to be chased or pushed to do anything.He was helpfull in finding contractors we needed to carry out small jobs needed to pass the house inspection.

We talked to a few local realtors prior to Will. We had received a flyer from Will with some useful information about selling a home and that was the reason we called him. We did not know him at all before asking him to be our agent. We were quite impressed by his frank, straight-forward approach and his knowledge of the industry.

As first time home buyers, we wanted to make sure we went with the right real estate professional. We had met a couple other agents that didn't impress us before looking on Zillow. After reading Will's reviews I was pretty confident he was the right choice, and after meeting with him my husband and I knew without a doubt he was absolutely the guy for the job. Will's informative, no-nonsense approach made the decision making process much easier and home comparisons a no-brainer. Will helped us find an amazing house at a fantastic value in the exact location we were hoping for. Not only did Will stay in touch regularly, he provided us with great contacts for our mortgage lender and home inspector, and coordinated with the right people to get the job done in a very timely fashion. Will eliminated much of the stress I know I would have experienced with other realtors. He is a personable and trustworthy professional whom we would recommend to anyone.

Bought a really good house in Cuyahoga County.

Will is honest, thorough, and committed to his clients. Our condo had an offer and sold under Will?s supervision within approximately a month of being on the market. And will carefully searched through a variety of resources to help us find our perfect home. When it came time for negotiations he helped us confidently make decisions. We will recommend Will to everyone we know who is looking to buy or sell a home. Less

I was presented with a career opportunity that required relocation out of the state. We had very little time to prepare our home before the move which happened within three weeks. Will had sold many homes in our neighborhood over the years and they seemed to be on the market less time than homes listed by other realtors. We contacted Will, set up a plan to sell our home and it was sold in less than 7 weeks. His process was aggressive and provided a great result. More importantly to us, during the selling phase, we were located 1,500 miles away and not in a position to monitor the home. Will managed several repairs that were needed to complete the sale which required a good bit of time and effort. His hands on approach drove the sale of our home. I would recommend Will to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Stow area. His results are the best measure of his abilities. Less

As first time home-buyers, we were unsure how to go about finding an agent. Sure, there were plenty of friends willing to refer us to their guy, but what's one person's opinion when we could consult dozens? After reading high praises about Will right here on Zillow, I knew we had our guy. I sent a request for a showing late on a Friday night, thinking I wouldn't hear anything until Monday, and within minutes I had an email response directly from Will. Will made the entire buying process extremely smooth for us. He tracked down all the homes that met our description and from that list we narrowed it down to a half dozen we want to see. Exactly two weeks after my first email to him, we placed a bid on a house. Now, I'm personally a terrible negotiator. Will is an excellent one. We loved the house so much, that without Will, we would have paid many thousands more for it than we actually did. His ability to fairly value a home and then get you that fair value is one of the most important qualities in an agent. If you take Will's advice, you absolutely will not overpay for your home. Will also referred us to several service providers he has worked with in the past and trusts. We didn't have to go with any of them, but I'm glad we did. Each and every one of them were every bit as professional and helpful as Will. If you're new to home-buying like us, or unsure, go with who he knows. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, go with Will Penney. You won't regret it. Less

Will knows the market,what sells and why it sells. His advice to us on pricing and staging, along with his marketing sold our house while others in our neighborhood have been on the market for over a year. With his help we found a condo that fit all of our wants and needs at a very good price. We listed our house, sold it, bought our condo and will be moved in in less than three months. Very satisfied with the whole process.

Will Penney became my realtor after I contacted him about a Zillow listing. He promptly responded to my inquiry. Although the house in question was already sold, I met Will for an initial meeting to explore the possibility of establishing an agent-client relationship. Will immediately set to work in narrowing the search for an ideal house. Within three months of signing with him, he was able to find me a nice home with a great potential, at a reasonable price, and in a great neighborhood. Even though I was extremely busy, Will kept the process rolling with continued communication and follow-up that concluded with me finding the right home. Will's advice and persistence during the negotiation was invaluable. I would recommend Will to anyone serious about buying a home. Less

Will helped us visualize what life was going to be like a few years in the future and how the houses we were looking at were going to squeeze us out. Will showed us what it would cost us to move versus what it would cost us to buy the house we could live in for 10+ years.

Will?s ability to place a person at ease during the difficult process of finding a new home makes him the perfect fit in his role as buyer?s agent. His knowledge of the region, the real estate process and his professionalism combine to make the entire process simple and painless. Specifically, Will aided in the negotiation of the price specifically with regards to three items. 1. The HVAC unit which was over 20 years old; 2. The extensive use of wall paper in the home, which while professionally installed (Will confirmed) and well maintained, was somewhat dated; and 3. Sellers acceptance of the closing cost.
Will?s extension knowledge of local lenders saved a great deal of time regarding the approval process. Due the complexities of a VA loan combined with a recent divorce, some local lender (but not all) declined the opportunity to finance. Will recommend mortgage broker was well versed in the VA process (they had their own in house VA underwriter) and provided the VA the needed information as part of the initial process without being asked for it by the VA. This enabled the loan to be approved quickly and without resubmissions on my part. Despite my experience financing homes (4 in 15 years) and building my own home once in the local area , I would not have known of this local resources without Will?s assistance. I am absolutely recommending him to those I know in the market to sell or buy a home. Less

Will is a hard worker. That seems like a simple statement, but it's the difference between closing in 25-30 days and 35-45 days. Throughout our buying process, we had a constant loop of information for all parties involved. And Will kept that flow of information moving. There was no down time in this process. He was always 2 steps ahead and had the next phase ready. I will certainly recommend him to anyone who is ready to buy and sell.

Each time we called Will to show a house that appealled to us, he was willing & able. He was very patient with us throughout this exciting, yet often discouraging process. He was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects, and, once we gave him the go ahead, he was obviously in our corner. He was able to favorably negotiate positive outcomes for all of our concerns, both as the buyer and the seller. When we thought that the buyer's interest in our house had gone stale, due to our inability to agree with them on the conditions of the sale, Will was able to keep the negotiating process moving forward and, ultimately close the deal.

I felt he was very realistic with me and we listed my house and I accepted an offer shortly (~ 2 weeks) after for just below (~ 500) listing in this tough market. I think his knowledge of the area helped in setting the price that allowed for us to move the house quickly.

Selling our house was another step in executing our retirement plan that would ultimately get us to our home in Tennessee. However, while the weakened financial markets have impacted future plans of many, the depressed housing market was a much more ominous issue for us knowing that we needed to be out of the house within the next 2 years.
There was time for our other investments to recover, but we couldn't run the risk of watching our principal dwindle as the housing market struggled. We needed to put the house on the market before it got worse and needed an agent could understand and support our plan and deliver a marketing strategy to accomplish it.
We chose to speak with Will because we felt that he was one of very few realtors in the Stow area that had success in selling houses in the higher end of the market and, particularly, in Pambi Farms. After our discussion we were confident that he was prepared to work in our best interest despite the challenging expectations that we set and, clearly, he would be able to separate himself from the pack.
Despite our very "analytical" valuation of our home, his input and perspective was instrumental in setting a list price that was realistic and, based on feedback, reasonable in the eyes of prospective buyers. We always knew that our house would, like any other, require the right buyer and he was very patient and helpful in discerning those to take seriously. He was onboard with our plan and understood that a quick sale was not our motivation.
Once we had a legitimate contract, he truly worked in our best interest. In 11 home sales, we never saw a buyer raise his offer before it was even submitted the first time!!! Only he could make that happen.
Whether we're buying or selling, we wouldn't consider calling anyone else because we'd want him on our side. He is a dynamic, progressive professional with a finger on the pulse of Stow and Pambi Farms. That is what we look for in an agent. Less

Will was great when I was getting ready to sell my home in cuyahoga falls.
He went through my house telling me exactly what needed done to be ready to sell.
He's straight forward, to the point, and won't try to feed you any b.s.
I did exactly what he recommended and my house sold within a week.
His is the only realty company that we'll ever deal with!

We recently used the services of Will Penney for the sale of our Pambi Farms home. One reason we chose to call Will was because we were impressed at the number of homes he sold in Pambi Farms as well as the area in general in this type of real estate market. We were not disappointed. We found Will to be a true professional in every sense of the word. His commitment to real estate was obvious, he owns his own real estate company and is a full time realtor, he is both educated and practiced at a high level of expertise. He has expert knowledge of all of Summit County and has an excellent working relationship with other real estate agents to help ensure an easy transaction and negotiation process. Most impressive were the sales statistics verses other agencies and realtors that Will presented to us. It left no doubt that Will was the agent we needed to sell our home. Once listed, Will had excellent communication throughout the entire process. His use of all available tools such as the many web site listings, purchase of the ability to add extra photographs to the web sites, the ability to directly click to reach Will's website for further interest, and email notifications of showings, was a welcome change from the dated and typical "open house" mindset. A testimony to the effectiveness of Wills marketing plan was that our home sold in only 5 days on the market above asking price! Will exceeded our expectations, making the sale of our home "painless". We would recommend Will to our family and friends and certainly would use his services when we sell our buy our next home. Less

We liked working with Will because he is energetic, willful, intelligent and most of all, great with follow-up & details. Will is going to be straight with you whether you like it or not. He is no yes man. He knows his market and uses his expertise in combination with your needs/desires to guide you throughout the sales and/or purchase process. We began working with him when we found a home on the internet, which he represented. We were very impressed with how he presented the home on the internet site we reviewed prior to the showing. His descriptions and pictures allowed us to visualize how the home flowed and we were impressed with how close it looked to what we had anticipated. Will sold us that home and because we could watch him as he represented the buyer in that transaction, while at the same time keeping us informed on every aspect of the closing process, we decided we needed him to represent us in the sale our previous residence. Sixty three days later, he negotiated a fair price for our home and got us a 30 day close to boot. We would have no trouble recommending Will to anyone in the market to buy or sell.

Working with Will and his team became a pleasure especially given the stress of such a difficult task. Will took the time to understand what we really needed, our constraints, and our priorities and acted accordingly. In our first home purchase with Will, we were relocating from California to Northern Ohio. We were impressed with his willingness and ability to act on our behalf while we were 2000 miles away. We also learned quickly that Will would be direct and honest with us as we needed to move quickly and couldn't afford the typical wasted time during the process. Our family has been in 5 homes in the last 30 years and we've worked with 3 different real estate agents. Will and his team stand well above everyone else we've worked with in the period. We would highly recommend him. Less

I don?t know where to start, except to say I wouldn?t want anyone else in my corner. Will is the most available person I?ve worked with in any such situation. I could call, text, or email him any time of day and he would respond within minutes. When looking at homes to purchase, Will?s trained eye noticed things we?d never consider and gave us helpful advice about future pitfalls as well as unique features we might have taken for granted. In doing so, he helped us make a purchase we will never regret. Furthermore, when our final walk-through inspection of the home we were about to purchase had a minor kink in it, Will immediately took action and worked late into the evening to get us answers so we could sleep easily that night. The following morning he worked effortlessly doing all the legwork the seller should have been doing in an effort to help us close promptly as scheduled so we would not be ?between homes?? for any period of time. Will?s professionalism and availability, as well as his understanding of his client?s anxieties and needs, made him the perfect choice for our selling and buying experiences. It?s refreshing to know that there are people in this business who are looking out for your best interests (not theirs), and Will Penney is one of those people. I?m grateful for everything he has done for us and I feel extremely lucky that we were referred to him from a colleague of ours. Less

Will is always generous with his time, promptly returns phone calls, and is available nights and weekends for any issue that may arise. He makes you feel as though you are his only client and that your situation is the most important one to him. He made selling our house a breeze and stress free with great staging tips, reliable comparables, and straightforward no non-sense advice. Because of him, our house sold in just three days. He made buying our dream home a painless and enjoyable experience. We simply described the type of home and location we wanted, and he suggested the perfect areas for us. He handled all the negotiations and paperwork professionally and courteously, and made closing easier by recommending reputable inspectors and contractors. Penney Real Estate Company is the only agency you need, which is why we would highly recommend him to anyone. Less
