We worked with Missy Nord to buy our first house in Chardon, Ohio and had a fabulous experience. She was very patient and answered all of our questions. Missy responded right away and was very knowledgeable about the area and market. She was flexible with appointments and when we could meet for showings, inspections, signings, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend the Kaim team. They were with us every step of the way to make it a seamless experience.

...although we were very happy with the Michael Kaim team, we would not choose the auction option again. Our realtor, Brenda Niemi was very good. We do not feel that we benefitted in any way from the auction portion and it was an additional expensive commission-yes the lower price brought more people in to view the property, but then they expected a low price and we were sort of stuck... Also, the people that came could not afford to pay what we actually were looking for price wise. We believe the auction was an expensive mistake on our part :( ... But Brenda and the Michael Kaim team were very good. Less

I have been waiting for a "call back" for over two weeks from a member of this team. I was blown off to see a home because the member had something come up. The next time I heard back from this member she said it was out of her way to show me the home because I had not chosen to get a pre-approval. It should never be an issue to show a prospective buyer a home if there is not a bank approval on the table.

Dear User3549031, I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with the service you received from one of my business partners. I want to assure you that we are very client-focused. Our company motto has always been "Customer Excellence". And, I think our track record shows this to be true?of the 350+ homes we will sell this year, 159 were for Past Clients or Personal Referrals. Regarding the two points mentioned in your review... 1) Pre-approval: I too believe it is in all parties best interest, buyer and seller, for a buyer to be pre-approved. 2) Referral to a listing agent: We will refer a client to a listing agent IF we are unable to properly service that client?we do not yet specialize in all areas and/or price ranges throughout the State of Ohio. I realize that it is too late to make this a better experience for you. And, again, I personally apologize for us being unable to service your needs. Good Luck with Your Home Search!

Very bad experience with Michael Kaim Team. He was aggressive in trying to encourage us to purchase a more expensive house and equally aggressive in insisting we repeatedly lower the price on our house. He assigned one of his team members to come to show our house, but the guy was very late in showing-up and the prospective buyers walked away. His "team" did such a poor job, we had to fire them. Don't be fooled by his "glam" shot!

Buyers agent from Michael Kaim had shown me homes one day the past summer. Asked me to get pre-qualified before asking to show more homes. I decided to continue to rent since I did not see anything I liked. Finally found a property I wanted to see. I look on Zillow every day. Requested a showing through Michael Kaim on Zillow. This time I am pre-approved for a loan. Same agent contacted me. Since I wasn't ready to purchase in the next few months, buyers agent from Michael Kaim Realty refused to show me home. Referred me to sellers agent. Sellers agent was more than happy to show me the property. Did not ask for pre-approval and also is showing me other homes in neighborhood. I recommend going directly to the selling agent. Less

Had a poor interaction with the Kaim Team. When selling a home, the team will work hard to get you to sign with them... Then you will get automated letters in the mail telling you to drop the price. They basically just kick these off to you at certain time periods, you don't get a call and explanation of why to drop the price from your team member. Then when you get an offer on the home, the team steps back in to try and tell you to accept the offer, even if it is extremely low. On the buying side, the role of the team should be communication. I had a poor experience here, as well. Their idea of being a buyers agent is sending you automated listings, opening the door for you to look at houses, try to convince you it's right for you, and then try and get you to accept any offer the buyer has. I saved over $10k by not accepting offers that they told me I should. Less

We were moved here 5yrs ago and the company set us up with your team. We were very satisfied with how welll they acted in our behalf, when it came to retire this year we had no reservations in calling the team back to handle our sale. Both Michael Kaim and Mike fergus went the extra mile to see we got the best offer for our home and the sale went off with little stress. I highly recommend your company to anyone with confidence they will receaive the same attention and care we found here. Sincerely Cheryl & Dan Less

Michael and his team did an excellent job taking care of my needs during this sale. I was an out of state seller and they were very helpful and available for any appointments that were needed at the property. His team was very professional and handled all of the transactions smoothly.

We used Michael Kaim to sell one of our houses in Painesville on Liberty street and he was great. He did everything he promised and more. I would recommend this Realtor if you want your house sold quickly and negotiated to the price you desire. Plus the people he has working in his office were knowledgeable and super friendly. We are using him once again to sell another one of our properties since we were so pleased!

Michael and his team negotiated an incredible deal for us to stay in the home we were selling while our other home we purchased closed through short sale. He was able to sell our home quickly and professionally. He advised us well through both the selling and buying process. He and the Kaim team's connections help make us feel comfortable with the process. Tina was awesome to work with and went out of her way to keep us informed.
