The interview

What was your experience like working with Don Shurts?

Working with Don was great. He was always available. He always explained a lot and taught us how the process worked, more so than other realtors we've worked with in the past. They were also very educational about learning about all the different aspects of real estate, and they gave us honest advice as if they were purchasing or selling a home for themselves.

How did you first find Don & Cyndi Shurts?

Honestly, we were just web browsing, not from the area originally, and they came across as people that helped first-time homebuyers. That led us to Don and we really liked our conversation with him over the phone.

What were your primary goals for your real estate journey in Dayton?

Our first goal was just to buy a house that would be livable for three years while we were here, and then our next goal was to sell the home quickly, but also by financially meeting our goals.

What challenges did you face before working with them?

At first, it was just hard when you're just browsing online, looking for homes prior to working with them, and they made that process a lot easier to narrow down on homes that worked best for us.

How did they assist you specifically during the selling process?

We learned a lot from him, specifically when it came to setting up your home, figuring out what is best to do and what not to do when selling our home. He helped us get through negotiations after inspections and helped try to decrease the amount of money we had to spend, but also making the buying team still wanna go through with their initial offer.

What was the final outcome of your experience?

They helped us buy a great home, and they also helped us sell this home with a nice financial bonus. I would just say they're really nice people. They were very respectful. They always reached out, even would reach out and say 'Happy Holidays' to us, and they were just very kind people that really helped us get through this stage of our life.

Working with Don was great. He was always available. He always explained a lot and taught us how the process worked, more so than other realtors we've worked with in the past. They were also very educational, uh, about learning about all the different aspects of real estate, and they gave us honest advice as if they were, you know, purchasing or selling a home for themselves. [gentle music] Hi, my name's Aaron Berman, worked with Don Shirts, and we live in the city of Dayton, Ohio. We bought and sold a home with them. Honestly, we were just web browsing, not from the area originally, and they came across as people that helped, like, first-time homeowner- homebuyers and led us to Don and really liked our conversation with him over the phone. Our first goal was just to buy a house that would be livable for three years while we were here, and then our next goal was to sell the home quickly, but also by, you know, financially meeting our goals. At first, it was just hard when you're just browsing online, looking for homes prior to working with them, and they made that process a lot easier to narrow down on homes that worked best for us. So he helped us out a lot. They helped us, you know, even though they didn't work with us, we bought a new home in Michigan, so we learned a lot from him, uh, specifically when it came to setting up your home, figuring out what is best to do and what not to do when selling our home, and helped us get through negotiations after inspections and helped try to decrease the amount of money we had to spend, but also making the buying team still wanna go through with their initial offer. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Don and Sydney, especially in the Dayton area. You know, they helped us buy a great home, and they also helped us sell this home with a nice financial bonus. I would just say, you know, they're really nice people. They were very respectful. They always reached out, you know, even would reach out and say, like, "Happy Holidays" to us, and they were just very kind people that really helped us get through this stage of our life.
