We had such a wonderful time working with Kathy during the process of buying our home. As first-time home buyers, we didn't know what to expect, especially in this market. We appreciated how Kathy talked through the entire process of buying a home with us during our initial consultation and made sure we equipped with the knowledge and resources we needed to succeed. Kathy was always eager to meet us at a home we were interested in seeing and would make sure another person on her team was able to meet us if she was unavailable. While touring homes, Kathy would point out things I would not have thought

The Kathy Chiero Realty Group helped us sell our 1909 home in Grandview. We met Kathy at one of her Downsize Columbus seminars & were impressed with her knowledge & experience in selling homes in the Columbus area. Kathy is personable, empathetic, & easy to work with. She worked with us directly & led us through the complicated, & at times, emotional process of preparing & selling our home of 44 years. She gave us great advice in pricing & marketing our home which resulted in our getting multiple offers over the asking price. Her staff & the consultants she referred us to were very experienced

Mary Blackstone was always there to show us a house and worked hard for us to help us get a house. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. She is sweet and so helpful when we had questions. I can not say enough good about Mary. I dont think we would have made it through this process without all her help and knowledge.

We had a great experience with the Kathy Chiero Group - Carole, our realtor, was fantastic. It was clear she was putting a lot of time and effort into helping us find the perfect home, and she was patient with us throughout this crazy market. I would recommend Carole and the Kathy Chiero Group to anyone buying or selling their home!
