Testimonials

Mariarosa D.

I truly enjoyed working with Lisa! She is extremely professional and represents her home buyers with utmost integrity. Their best interests are top of mind when she is giving advice on how to navigate the process of purchasing a new home. Highly recommend and look forward to working with Lisa again!

Kevin R.

I was very skeptical that the Rick & Donna’s team could deliver what they promised when I signed the listing, but they proved me wrong! My house had been listed for over two years with another agent without a single offer. Rick & Donna came in and told me some cosmetic things to change, and within 1 week I had an offer on my house, and was closed within a matter of weeks. They were everything they promised and more. I was living out of the country and the transaction went very smoothly, and they dealt with issues for me that I could not do by being away. I highly recommend the entire team, but I found Donna to be extremely helpful.

Mr. & Mrs. Herron

Jeff helped us relocate to Cleveland over 5 years ago to a home we loved at first sight, and since then he has not only provided that same high level of professionalism to our family/friends, getting them in great homes, but we have had great success with mid to high end investment real estate deals. We see a great future working with Jeff!

Mish G.

We were new to what we were doing. Payton understood that; she was patient with our questions and thorough in her answers. She was the first one to show us the home and then she was one to give us our keys after signing. Throughout the whole thing she was upfront, communicative, and prompt. We felt like she shared our urgency, and appreciated the importance of this process for us, and we were so grateful for that. I never felt like I couldn't reach out to her when I needed to. We are so happy, and feel so lucky, to have had her as our realtor, and we'll definitely contact her if we're ever going to go through the home-buying or selling process again. Thanks, Payton!

Margie S.

Rick and Donna's thorough, consultative approach helped me find just the home I was looking for! They gave me excellent advice on what to look for and how to care for my home so that I might be as profitable as possible as a result of this transaction. Their proactive communication in every step of the process- from searching for prospective properties until handing me the keys- surpassed my every expectation. My experience working with the Hamblen's was outstanding! I look forward to personally conducting more transactions with them in the future and have no hesitation to recommend their expertise to my family, friends and clients.

Chelsea P.

I am extremely satisfied with Lisa Blomgren with Century 21. She made the buying process so simple and stress-free! It's a seller's market and the houses were just going under contract the same day they hit the market. It took a few offers to find the perfect house at the end, but it wouldn't have been possible without Lisa!

Golgrove Family

Working with Jeffrey over many years ago extended to even more real estate purchases with him currently and we are sure in the coming years. Jeffrey has helped our family move up and invest in our family's future owning beautiful real estate, as we invest in our family's legacy. Jeffrey is the best kept secret we share with everyone thinking of anything real estate related. Jeff is the guy!

Ryan S.

I had the pleasure of working with Rick and Donna after being recommended by a satisfied family member who had worked them a year or so prior. Rick and Donna were both extremely professional throughout the buying process, and have remained in contact even after the purchase of my home. Our interactions were prompt and they followed up with every request of mine in a timely manner. I would recommend them to all my family and friends in the Cleveland area and will not hesitate to use them in any future real estate endeavors.

Fred F.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Rick on a real property home inspection. As the agent for my client, Rick managed the transaction professionally, comfortably and knowledgeably. In fact, I was instantly impressed with both the ease and insight that he brought to the meeting. Rick took great care to answer questions, explain nuances and give appropriate assurances to the client. Rick helped to "grease the skids" for a successful home inspection as well as providing client comfort and satisfaction.

Richard

Rick and Donna helped me sell my home and buy a home we are closing in September. I cannot say enough about how helpful and professional they were. My house was on the market for a long time over several years, and I had more than 2 listing brokers involved with no results. Rick and Donna got the job done and I will always be thankful. I remember the early mornings and late night we spent working as a team. I hope to stay in touch with both of them as they are the kind of people I like to spend time with.

I met Rick and Donna in 2007, about 3 years into my house search. They were so patient and helpful, even as my needs changed over the next 2 years from a condo to a single-family house. Along each step, they were so well-versed about the myriad of properties and cities we visited. Rick and Donna also encouraged me look at homes in areas I had not considered initially. In the spring 2009, they helped me find my first house, a great place I could call home.

Mary W.

Rick and Donna helped my husband and I find Our perfect dream home, and helped us find great renters to rent our current home to. I cannot say enough about Rick and Donna. They provided us with great advice during our process of renting our current home and purchasing our dream home. Both Rick and Donna are very pleasant and professional people with great experience with homes. We both enjoyed the time we spent working with Rick and Donna.

Jim S.

After working with a few buyers’ real estate agents with whom I was unsatisfied, I was lucky to be referred to Rick and Donna. Rick and Donna helped me find great candidate homes and give me good advice for making offers when I found my dream home and was ready to buy. Rick and Donna were always punctual and had deep knowledge of homes that helped answer my questions and feel comfortable with my purchase.

Vanita
