Chris Olsen

Chris represented me in the sale of my home in Brecksville, Ohio in the fall/ winter of 2019/2020. He looked at the property and provided a very realistic estimate that wasn't quite what I wanted to hear, but needed to. He had a lot of analytics to back up his thoughts and it was clear he puts the time into researching the property and the community. His knowledge of the local community is extensive. Prior to the sale, Chris provided contact information to contractors that were very reasonable and professional and they helped get the property ready for sale. The house went on the market in the fall, which was a tough time of year, but his enthusiasm and efforts to make the sale never wavered. He held countless open houses that were heavily trafficked and maintained a constant flow of communication with me. When we finally found a prospective buyer, he represented my interests very well in the negotiations.

Chris Olsen of Olsen Ziegler Realty was a pleasure to work with and was highly effective in getting our Hudson house sold in 5 days for 98% of the asking price and in finding us a lake front condo to retire in. He is one of the most responsive people I have ever worked with in any capacity (I dont think he ever sleeps), is is thorough and detail oriented, and he is very even keeled and nice, even is stressful situations. He had strong opinions based on years of experience in the field as well as his analytical background, but he also is a great listener and is never pushy. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone buying or selling a house in Northeast Ohio!

Chris expertly navigated a complicated transaction including three properties. He carefully considered and presented different listing options making it easy for the family to make informed decisions that worked best for us. Chris helped us understand upfront it would take time to sell our unique property - knowing what to expect made it easier to understand and trust the process. Using a drone to highlight the beauty of our land on the internet highlights Chris' experience and thoroughness. This generated invaluable interest and traffic for our property and ultimately helped it sell.
