The Realty Firm

My wife and I were first-time home buyers this spring and Katrina was, in a word, amazing. Not only is she passionate about her work, but she truly cares about the people that she works with and understands that buying a home, especially your first home, is a journey. We could not have asked a more wonderful guide on that journey. From the very beginning she was extremely patient and thorough with our many questions, and spent as much time as we wanted in each home that we viewed. Her knowledge of the Columbus real estate market was also astounding and so reassuring. She took the time to learn about us, our backgrounds, personalities, and the things that were most important to us in a home. In addition, she was extremely responsive whenever we wanted to see a home or had a question, which was so important since the Columbus real estate market tends to move very quickly. Katrina was even understanding when we decided to totally change our search from a more urban setting to the suburbs midway through. Amid all of the excitement and stress that comes with buying a home she was always a calming and optimistic presence and helped us sort through our many thoughts and ideas. And I haven’t even mentioned her stunning negotiating skills. Katrina helped us get our dream house in our desired community for a better price and contract terms than we could have ever imagined! With all of that said, if we ever buy or sell in the future we will definitely be giving Katrina a call and could not picture working with anyone else!

Katrina Judd is a true wonder! She worked hard to both sell our old home and to buy our new home. Be it financing, consultation, advising, housekeeping, or resources - Katrina makes real estate miracles happen. She was a true pleasure to work with - honest, full of integrity, diligent in ensuring our needs were met, and authentic in her approach! Throughout the entire process, we always knew that Katrina understood our position and we were comfortable in knowing that Katrina was advocating for us every step of the way. Without reservation, we give Katrina Judd our highest recommendation. Truly, honestly, sincerely - You will be in GREAT hands when working with Katrina.

Katrina is a pleasant, consummate professional that knows several local areas with sharp expertise. We looked at well over a dozen homes, and with each she was honest and open in what she was seeing. She knew what we wanted and needed, and continually adjusted her approach to ensure we found our perfect home. Katrina's ability to serve with distinction are built on a foundation of trust that is borne of her integrity and character. Working with a realtor is often a challenging experience, working with Katrina and the Realty Firm were a complete pleasure. We couldn't have found our wonderful home without her, and we're forever thankful for her hard work, dedication, and wonderful attitude throughout. I would not hesitate to work with her again, and I would *highly* recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I have had the privilege of working with several of Katrina’s clients for many years now.
Katrina and her team do an outstanding job to make sure her clients receive the very best home buying experience.
When purchasing a new home, it is important that all moving parts come together to prevent costly delays.
Katrina and her team at The Realty Firm always ensure everyone is working together for a one time and outstanding performance

Katrina helped us in our search for a new home for over a year. She was never pushy and always supportive during our search. When we finally found the right home she was great in helping us with the purchasing process, and possibly even better at selling our previous home! Her negotiating skills, professionalism and strategy for selling our home enable us to get top dollar and sell in one weekend.

Katrina was an amazing realtor for myself and my husband. We had a home to sell and we also wanted to move in this crazy market. She was so thorough with us and had constant communication with the listing agent when we found a house we wanted. She really advocated for us and definitely made it happen. We would have never been able to get the house we wanted without her!

Katrina was amazing! As first-time home buyers we were very nervous and unsure about the whole process. We met with a few other realtors, but Katrina stood out from the rest - she went through the home buying process step-by-step and was very easy to talk to. Buying a home in Columbus is very competitive, so when we needed to see a house right away, Katrina was responsive and on top of it!
We were able to find a house in a neighborhood we never thought we could afford. When it came down to putting in an offer and negotiating, we had complete confidence in Katrina. We were actually told by the seller's agent that Katrina's excellent communication helped us get our dream house!
You can't go wrong with Katrina!

As first-time home buyers, my husband and I were nervous--and had vastly different expectations and worries for buying a home. Katrina really worked with us, set a lot of our fears to rest, and made sure to make us both happy. She was responsive, highly knowledgeable, confident, and prepared. She made us feel like old friends, and I think she genuinely cares about her customers. She will go out of her way to be available at almost all times, and she makes you feel like you are her preferred customers. I can't really place it, but there is just something about her that makes you feel comfortable and important. I really cannot recommend her enough.

Katrina was great to work with and very knowledgeable of the central Ohio market. She got us a great price on the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. We had a lot going on and she handled all the difficult things while keeping us informed and advocating for us at every opportunity. I can't recommend her team enough. Thank you!

Katrina did an excellent job from start to finish when we decided to buy our dream home. We had some tight requirements for our new home and she never felt it was a problem even in this seller market. She held our hand through every step even when things didn't work out. She was our rock through a very stressful and important step in our lives. Then after we found our dream home, she helped us sell our condo and way more then we bought it. Katrina was a dream come true and I would recommend her to anyone!

Charlene is amazing!! We looked for a house for what seems like forever. She finally helped us decide on building a custom home. She was extremely knowledgeable about our contract and even the design process. Since this was our first time building, having someone so knowledgeable was very important to us. She helped us to avoid a few mistakes and even a few potential disasters. She walked through the house with us and the builders when we felt like they weren’t giving us their best work. She’s tough when she needs to be and she definitely gets the job done. I can’t recommend Charlene enough. You won’t regret using her as your agent. She’ll get you the best prices and will work her butt off until she knows you’re happy and satisfied. She’s still helping me to this day (almost a year after we’ve moved in!).

I would highly recommend Katrina Judd from The Realty Firm when buying your selling your next home. We contacted Katrina because we were looking to move back to the Columbus area after spending the last ten years living in Michigan. During our first phone call Katrina took the time to give us an overview of the market, suggested areas based on what we were looking for in a home and provided us with tips since the market is very competitive. We knew that looking for a home in a competitive market while living in a different state during a pandemic would be a challenge; however, Katrinia helped make it as smooth as possible. Katrina helped us navigate the process virtually and was always willing to do video walk throughs with us. Even though we couldn’t be there in person, we trusted her as she would point out all the details (good and bad) so we always had a good feel of the home.
Katrina is a hard worker, very responsive and always willing to go the extra mile for her clients. She never made us feel as though we were inconveniencing her no matter how many houses we asked her to look at for us or the multiple weekends spent helping us put together an offer. Since the market is competitive, you want a realtor who is responsive, knows the market, and is honest. We found all of this with Katrinia. Thanks to Katrinia we are settled into our new home in Powell and love it.

This was my second time working with Katrina. My first experience was about 4 years ago and when I was ready to sell/buy again, I knew it had to be with Katrina. She is so thorough throughout the entire process. She always made sure we understood our options and we never felt pressured into anything. She definitely made the process of selling 2 houses and purchasing 1 as smooth as possible! I would highly recommend her to any seller or buyer looking for a new agent!

We loved working with Charlene and the entire team at The Fairman Partners. My husband and I relocated to Columbus from out-of-state and had a very hard time finding a house that met our needs. It took most of the year and we cancelled on two different houses due to inspection issues before finding our home. Charlene supported us the whole way and provided a lot of guidance through her experience, expertise, and knowledge of the local market. While it was a frustrating home search, I enjoyed all of the time spent with Charlene and appreciate all of her hard work. When we are ready to sell this house and move on, she will be the first person we call!

Charlene has years of experience. she is a trusted advisor. We have both bought and sold homes with her over the years. She will always look out for the best interest of her buyers and is excellent with negotiation. We have always trusted that our result will be favorable and she has helped us achieve that time and time again.

I've only had the best experience with Katrina. She is amazingly patient and kind. Her knowledge of comp prices and areas of interest are amazing! I've referred her to many people I know who are just considering to buy/ sell. You never get the sense of being pressured or forgotten. We've kept in touch even after the purchase of my home. She's absolutely the best out there!!!

Charlene is the greatest agent that I've ever worked with. She always put client's interests first even at the cost of hers. When she was helping me sell my house in Columbus, OH, I had to pull the house out of the market for a whole year due to family reasons. Despite the deal so close at hand, she called off the deal immediately and even helped me find tenants. Once the house is back into the market, we made a great sale in just a few weeks. All in all, if you need an agent in the Columbus area, Charlene definitely makes the best team for you.

Katrina was asked to handle a family real estate transaction. She is a true professional with great communication since both parties lived in different states we needed to keep a clear and timely transaction. Katrina was able to address questions and concerns and serve as a liason with all family members, title company and attorneys. Thank you Katrina for taking care of business.

Katrina was awesome to work with. We spoke with 2 other realtors and we felt most comfortable with her. Her knowledge and expertise was valuable. She was extremely responsive before listing and even more responsive after we had a contract. I would highly recommend her.

Working with Katrina from start to end was amazing. She helped with very detail, her work on the contract was instrumental. I truly feel without her we would not have had a good outcome. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so without any hesitation. She far exceeded our expectations. Color me happy.
