Testimonials

We have been very fortunate to have purchased and sold multiple homes with the Effler agency in our 30 years in Ottawa Hills. David is more than our real estate agent, but our trusted friend. His knowledge of the market, homes, schools and entire area is unequaled as he's a lifetime Village resident. I cannot recommend the Effler agency strongly enough. We place our trust in home purchase or sale with the Effler agency and give them our highest recommendation.

My husband and I highly recommend Effler Schmitt for your real estate needs! The integrity and professionalism of this agency, through closing and beyond, was top-notch. We especially appreciated how David and Katie listened to our expectations and concerns, then guided us with appropriately pricing our property. We are very pleased with our decision to list our Sylvania Township home with this family-owned business.

“We can’t thank Daniel Effler enough for helping us find our dream home in Ohio. It’s exactly what we dreamed it would be – and we didn’t go over our budget! Daniel Effler’s local market knowledge, expertise, and amazing dedication made the whole buying process truly enjoyable. Thank you so much, Daniel Effler”

When we bought a house in Ottawa hills, the market was so competitive with only a few houses on the market. Katie had done an amazing job for us throughout the house hunting process with her expertise and knowledge about the town and her social networks. She listened to even small details of what we wanted and was not hesitant to research our specific needs. She is also transparent… very accessible and responds to our questions very quickly. We spent about a year to find our perfect home, and she was patient throughout this process. She is a professional communicator. She helped us a lot to make a competitive offer and communicated well with the seller side to figure out important conditions. Most importantly, she is an authentic and warm-hearted person. We are so thankful that we worked with her, and we highly recommend her!

Dan Effler represented us as the purchasing and selling agent six years ago and represented us as the selling broker when we sold the house in May 2022. In the Toledo- Ottawa Hills area he’s your ‘go-to’ sales agent. He has decades of experience, knows the market, knows all the players and works hard to get the best deal. I highly recommend him and his group.

We called Effler in late June 2019 seeking to sell. We had an acceptable offer in early July. We closed in early August. Great. In particular, he referred us to great craftsmen who helped get our house so that it was more attractive for a purchaser. Thanks David and Daniel.

I can’t say enough good things about David Effler and our experience was “five star” with David, Kelly and everyone on the Effler team…it was clear that their Excellent reputation Is well-earned by their attention to detail, constructive comments about preparing for showings, informing us about feedback, prospective buyers, and they had great insight and savvy as to pricing, how to respond to offers, and the overall negotiation process…I can’t imagine any other realtor being as responsive, supportive and understanding…they exceeded our expectations in every regard.

I've heard for years that Effler Schmitt is the best realtor in Ohio and always puts his clients' needs first. My 2-year journey to find a new home and quick turnaround to sell my house proved them right. What truly sets David apart is his impressive knowledge of the local housing market. This greatly aided us in making informed decisions throughout our home buying/selling process. David is an excellent communicator, promptly addressing all our questions and concerns, which made the entire experience less stressful. If you're in need of a real estate professional who will truly have your best interests at heart, he is the one you can trust. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and we wholeheartedly endorse Effler Schmitt for your real estate needs.

The Effler Schmitt team guided us through selling our house. They were fantastic to work with, very professional. Hands down the best in town.
