What Our Clients Say

We have used Carol’s team for several home purchases/sales over the years. We have found them to be very professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. They went above and beyond to help us stage, manage multiple offers, and even helped us donate furniture to charity. Full service, indeed!

Slide

Jillian was incredible to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The outstanding service we received went above and beyond our expectations. The purchase and sale of a home can be a stressful experience, but Jillian took care of everything leading to an enjoyable process of selling our home over asking, and purchasing our dream home! I would recommend Jillian to all of my family and friends.”

Kelly actually found our house before the sellers listed. Given the area where we were looking, being able to negotiate with the seller before the house went on the market was extremely important. Kelly found the house through her cordial relationship with another real estate agent who was selling a home on the same street and, because she knew what we were looking for, quickly contacted the seller to let them know we were interested. Kelly did an incredible job and made the process very easy and as stress free as possible. She was a great help in finding the house, making an initial offer, getting the home inspected, and finalizing the sale. She’s also provided much help in locating people to help paint and perform other services after the purchase. We have already recommended Kelly to our friends and family!

Slide

Carol, Kelly, Rebecca, and Jillian are incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They accurately priced our home for the market and sold it within 24 hours. They offered good feedback and advice concerning the offer, protecting our interests and putting us in the best position. Someone was always available to us, no matter time of day or night. We also appreciated every one of their recommendations for professional services to have house work completed for the sale. We know they have other clients, but they always made us feel that we were their top priority. Overall, our experience with this team was incredibly positive and rewarding. Thank you Carol, Kelly, Rebecca, and Jillian!

Slide

Our family had a great experience working with Rebecca and her team. She was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. She went out of her way to accommodate our crazy schedules, and even stopped by our home to pick up paperwork from us on a particularly hectic day. When we chose a home she connected us with other families in the neighborhood so that we could ask them about life in Madeira. Overall she was a great partner, and we would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in Cincinnati!

What a great team. They lead us through each step with exceptional professionalism and courtesy. Thank you!

Rebecca exceeded all expectations in handling the complete process of purchasing our home! She was patient with us in our many questions for a first time home purchase, but was also great at keeping us up to date on everything that was going on behind the scenes. Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to work with and made sure that we knew she was available at any time and was extremely flexible with our sometimes chaotic schedule. She was always very friendly and polite. I would recommend her to anyone!

Jillian was extremely thorough with every detail of this process. She also was great with explaining every step of the home buying process so that we always felt comfortable. She was so approachable, kept the process fun, and easy to work with all while maintaining a high level of professionalism. We will definitely use Jillian
in the future!

As a return client, we can’t thank these ladies enough for their help purchasing our home! In this fast paced market, we felt confident in the buying process. These women worked together seamlessly as a team to ensure availability for touring properties and addressing our questions/concerns promptly. When we were ready to make a move, the offer we presented was well thought out with our best foot forward. I highly recommend this team for any assistance you may need in the sale of purchase of your next home!

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Kelly! I've known her for years and knew she would do a good job but she exceeded my already high expectations!

Rebecca put together an amazing marketing package and I accepted an offer the morning of the first day my condo was on the market! Due to some unforseen complications with one of the condo bylaws my buyer's contract had to be extended and Rebecca was so calm and patient with me anytime I became stressed or frustrated. She did a grest job letting me know next steps and what to expect, and I always felt she was by my side for the whole process. Thank you Rebecca!

Rebecca and her team helped us to navigate buying a home in a tough buyer's market and while we were still out of state. She was communicative and kept us apprise of the progress as we were under contract.

We absolutely loved working with Comey & Shepard — we adore the entire CK Group team. The knowledge of the area, professionalism, feedback, advice, and patience were so valuable for us. Kelly, is our neighbor and dear friend — she knew exactly what we were looking for to buy and also knew everything about our house and neighborhood we were selling. Kelly was calm, collected and amazing for us every step of the way. Thank you!

Slide

I cannot say enough good things about Kelly Pear and her team! Kelly helped us sell our home right after the birth of our third child, which made 3 kids ages 4 and under. Kelly was patient, kind, helpful, professional, and comforting during the stressful time of moving with a newborn and young children. She was extremely organized and on top of every aspect related to the sale of our home; we never worried about next steps- she was on it! Kelly is extremely knowledgeable about the market and the sale process from A to Z. In the end, she helped us sell our home for more than we expected, much faster than we expected. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly Pear and her team!

Slide

Rebecca is a ten out of ten. I will exclusively work with Rebecca and her team for as long as possible. She is kind, courteous, knowledgeable, smart, and quick. Her history with real estate law comes in handy frequently, her willingness to ask questions and give referrals never ends, and her schedule is shockingly flexible given how much work she does.

Slide

Rebecca Messenger was recommended to me by a Comey employee whom I trust explicitly, so I knew she would be experienced, professional, and hard-working. She was all that and more. I recommended her to my neighbor, who is now working with her. I can't say enough good things about her skills, her availability to answer questions (both minor and major), and her dedication to providing excellent service. She's the best!

History

Building a Reputation for Excellence Since 1998

Our Legacy

Sheila Miller and Carol Harris formed a real estate partnership in 1998. During that time, they consistently sold more homes in the high-end market of Hamilton County than any other Realtor team, with the majority of sales in Indian Hill and Hyde Park.

Sheila was one of Cincinnati’s first female full-time Realtors and worked at Comey & Shepherd for her entire 50+ year real estate career. She was a top producer and consistently earned production awards from Comey & Shepherd and the Cincinnati Board of Realtors.

Shelia was an active agent until her passing in 2016. She was a fantastic woman and a true real estate icon, trailblazing a path for a real estate team of strong female Realtors. We are grateful to have had the chance to work and learn from her and we are dedicated to carrying on her legacy of excellence.
