Listed and sold a home • Columbus, OH • 2016
Don gave us clear direction on how best to sell our house and once we put in the work, he delivered! We has 21 showings in 6 days and sold our home for above asking price. We bought our new house the next day. Don's professionalism and expertise made the process seamless and easy. He was there every step of the way for us and with us. We love our new home and are grateful for Don & his team!

Listed and sold a home • Lancaster Amanda, OH • 2015
We had used Don in the past to buy land and had a good experience working with home. He knew we were looking to sell our house and we decided to do FSBO and Don still came out to our house to give us advice on what to do to sell our house on our own. Don would check in on us periodically to see if we needed any help and we had to take our house off the market due to a pregnancy. So a year goes buy and Don sent us an email telling us how well the market is doing and that now is the time to sell. We were already talking about trying FSBO again but decided to call Don instead. We had Don come out and he said he would have our house sold in 30-60 days which he said is longer than usual due to us living in a rural area. We had a contract at exactly 30 days and sold our house with no problems other than the usual buyer demands.

Don not only helped my wife and I sell our home, he also helped us purchase a new home. If you are thinking of selling your home, Don will bring the buyer's eye to the table and help you prepare your house so it is shown in the best possible light. We teamed up with Don at the very end of the summer season that resulted in the sale of the home in 11 days.With our home selling so quickly, we had less than 30 days to find our new home. We looked at six to eight home the first weekend that our home was in contract and realized that we were limited to new construction or empty homes. Within a week of searching for a home that met this criteria, Don was able to show us our new home where I am writing this recommendation. Don's best attribute is to smooth out the little bumps in the process to prevent the deals from falling apart. In my case, he made sure that I did not become my own worst enemy.

Don helped us sell our house in just 5 days. He made the process fun when it is a time full of stress. Don walked us through every step and made it easy. He also found a new house for us. We were able to close on both houses on the same day. Thank you Don for making our dreams come true! I recommend Don Shaffer to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Don is extremely responsive, typically attending to emails, texts, and/or voice messages (with requests for help and questions) in as little as 5-10 minutes. As you strategize the sale of your home, look for opportunities to adjust, and/or iron out the details of a offers/counter offers/negotiations, this responsiveness is very helpful. Don was also very helpful in setting proper expectations about market conditions and identifying conditions required to sell the home at different price points, thus giving the home owner the knowledge and expectations as to when they will likely sell the home and for what price. Don has a great support structure, network, and resources to assist with all facets of the home selling process....from recommendation for handy-man contractor to available office staff to facilitate paperwork quickly to availability of a box truck for "decluttering" that house, this is a full service realtor. I would work with Don again.

Don Shaffer's team sold my condo within a month and a few days including closing. I can't thank them enough for all they did. They kept me informed on any walk throughs and the comments from all potential buyers. I would not hesitate to use them again if I ever move. Thank you again Don Shaffer team for everything each and everyone of you contributed in selling my condo. You all need to be commended on your hard work and dedication to your clients. Thank you Amy Lee

Don Shaffer and The Shaffer Team are simply amazing. Don came out surveyed our home and walked us through the process of getting the house ready to sell. Once we were prepared with all his helpful ideas the paperwork process was very friendly and easy. Once we are officially on the market, we had 4 showings and in contract within a week!Can't say enough good things about Don and his team. Professional, well reversed in the market and a lot of fun. Buying or selling, The Shafeer Team is the way to go if you want results!

Don sold our home in 11 days! Even in a slower market, Don will help you price your home appropriately and get it sold. He was always there when we had a question. I highly recommend him!

Don helped us sell our home and buy a new one and he was truly fantastic to work with. We were able to sell our home for 99% of list price and in only four days on the market. Don was able to provide us with market knowledge that was tailored to exactly what we were looking for in a home. Don's market knowledge led us to make an offer on a house (and subsequently bought) that was within 1% of the appraised value. Don was extremely knowledgeable about the process, locations and the market. There wasn't a single negative experience in this buying and selling process. I would highly recommend Don to anyone buying or selling a house.

Don was very helpful in all aspects of the home sale. He started by assessing the home and letting us know of any work that should be done before listing. Once the home was ready for sale, he took it from there and made it very easy for us all the way through to the closing.
