Working with Katrina Judd was a wonderful experience. As a first time home buyer, I needed help on understanding how the process worked and all the options that were available.

I worked with Katrina Judd. She is wonderful. Listened and found me exactly what I wanted! I have already recommended her to a good friend who also just found a house! It was a GREAT experience!

We were relocating for work and didn't know the area at all. We worked with David throughout the beginning of the process remotely (to which end he was very responsive in getting us information proactively), and then met us in person to show us around the areas and homes we singled out. David was very direct and honest, which we…

When I started looking for a home I didn't know who to contact in the Columbus area to get the ball rolling on the search so I shot off an email to several different realator's here on Zillow. Dave Fairman with Gold Key Experts was the only one to actually respond back with a real email, out of the approx.…

My wife and I were both first time home buyers. We had no idea where to begin so we decided to do some research on a good reliable buying agent. After doing several hours of googling, we kept coming across amazing reviews for "The Gold Key Experts", specifically David Fairman, so we decided to give him a call. That was…

I worked directly with David Fairman. David had actually been a previous owner in the development in which I purchased and was very knowledgeable regarding the development as well as surrounding area. All of the paperwork was completed/submitted electronically and was a very efficient process. Closing was also easy and quick - thanks to Charlene and her team!!

I actually worked with David Fairman. He was fantastic for us. We had bigger demands than our budget really allowed and his search gave us the right direction to finding a great house for a good price. I went into house buying completely clueless, David helped me understand how the entire thing would go right off the bat. He explained…

Dave was resilient and made sure we got what we were looking for. We started with fairly lofty goals and realized we were a bit outside of our element. Instead of showing us mediocre places because we seemed unsure about the high price, Dave handled it as if we were going to buy all of them. We were first-time homebuyers…

I am new physician, I had never bought a house and was short on time and resources - David was exactly what I needed. He was organized and on top of the properties, locations, and in the negotiations he was so helpful. I feel fortunate that he was recommended to me.

As first time home buyers, this was terrifying and, at times, overwhelming process. We originally went with a realtor that was a mutual acquaintance. After some less than reassuring experiences, we did our homework and decided to switch to Dave Fairman. Dave made this whole process less scary and more fun. He was there, email, text, or phone call, whenever…

Going into the home buying process, I was quite confident I did not need an agent. After meeting with David Fairman I realized I couldn’t be more wrong. Upon meeting him, he gave us a very thorough and professional presentation on how he would help us find and secure the home we wanted. The process from beginning to end went…

I was a first time home buyer they did a great job to help me find a house but more importantly they helped me to understand the process.

Very professional and knowledgable!! From the initial meeting, to viewing homes, to the negotiation process, up to closing we received high level service. Their response time was wonderful and as first time buyers we received valuable education of the entire process. Best of all we felt like Dave cared about us throughout the process. We will definitely turn to Gold…

My Wife and I found ERA Real Solutions on Zillow.com. We had a fairly poor experience buying our first home in 2009 with agents that will remain nameless. We left that situation with a bad taste in our mouths when it came to real estate agents.We used Dave Fairman as our buyers agent, as ERA was the highest ranked, at…

My husband and I worked with David Fairman when buying our home. He was very professional and patient. He must have showed us 20-30 homes, before we found the right one. He was never pushy, and always gave us an honest assessments of the homes we viewed. He was immediate in his responses when we had questions. He made the…

I found the Gold Key Experts to be a fantastic company to work with; my realtor was Dave Fairman. When I initiated the process, I was browsing houses merely to see what was available on the market, as my rental contract would shortly be up. Dave was very respectful to the fact that I was casually looking. Throughout working with…

Both David and Charlene were fantastic to work with. I was buying my first home and needed a quick close. They were able to get me into see every property in which I was interested and able to do so in a very timely manner. If one of them were not available, the other was able to step in and…

What can I say about David? His professionalism and dedication to his clients is unprecedented.

I have bought and sold 4 homes in central Ohio over the years and used…

We always felt like Ashley was on our side and was working very hard to ensure we had the house…

We worked with associate Ashley Fry when we purchased our home 5 years ago. It was my first home buying experience and my husband's second, with the same associate.

My son was a first time home buyer in Columbus and David Fairman did an amazing job of finding him a home. He always had his best interest at heart and steered him away from a potential problem home.

Ashley Fry helped me purchase my home and her involvement made the entire experience easier than I could have possibly imagined. All of my questions were answered promptly and in great detail. I searched hundreds of homes online and got personal feedback from Ashley on more than forty of these homes. She also spent multiple days driving around Columbus showing…

Ashley Fry simply became a member of our family. She thought of things that we did not and took care of details that made the entire process so very easy. This was at a time when the market was down. We were getting offers well below the value of the home and she arranged for a renter that eventually purchased…

We were first-time home buyer so obviously there was a lot to learn. It was very helpful that Dave (Fairman) walked us through the process in a meeting right at the start.

We hired Dave Fairman when we were assisting my son with purchasing his first home. As a first time home buyer who had recently entered the workforce after completing college, my son was on a very modest budget. Although I encouraged him to buy vs. rent from an investment perspective, I was concerned that any property he could afford would…

My wife and I have dealt with one or two realtors in the past and we do not have good impressions on them. We came across the Gold Key Experts during our zillow search. We were very impressed with the number of perfect reviews that they received from their clients. We said to ourselves that this company would probably only…

I first met David Fairman when buying a condo in Grandview over 2 years ago. I found David to be very upfront, honest and most of all fun to work with.

I hired Ashley Fry with The Gold Key Experts to list and sell my condo in Hilliard. I had hired Ashley previously when I purchased the condo.

I worked with David Fairman and honestly it was an absolute pleasure. Our search lasted nearly a year (only because we were so picky) and David never stopped working with us or showed signs of frustration. In fact, David brought information to the table that prevented us from making emotional decisions that we would have regretted in the future. David…

We compare Dave and his team to leasing a brand new Mercedes versus a Toyota Camry. Every other realtor team we talked to and met with were a distant second place.

Do your research. Read the reviews. The Realty Firm is amazing whether buying or selling.

David is all about people and takes the time to listen, learn and guide his clients. David…
