Bobbie Jo Krouse - Testimonials

She was equal parts a guide, a cheerleader, and a voice of reason. Her optimism and practicality helped us find our perfect home, and her incredible know-how and professionalism helped us lock it down and close incredibly quickly. I can't recommend her enough!

She gave all the support and guidance needed to navigate the process of identifying my dream home. She was very friendly, professional and was ready to set up viewing sessions as per my schedule. I recommend her to anyone who needs a serious professional and someone who will go all the way to help you get the home of your dream.

She helped us through the whole process of finding our forever home, from visiting the house we liked twice in a 3-day period, getting our bid in and negotiate it with the buyer, guiding us through all the loan process with the bank, all the way to selling our old home! I highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell in the greater Columbus area! She is awesome!

She sold me my first home back in 2014 before I was married or had a family. My best interests were her priority and I found a new home I loved, where I got married and built my family. We recently outgrew our first and very special home in Clintonville and chose to move to a larger home in Upper Arlington (during a pandemic....with a toddler...) and Bobbie Jo made it as smooth as possible. I contacted Bobbie in a an excited panic about a home we had spotted online on a Sunday evening and without hesitation she was read to go! We got a great deal on our new home. Bobbie Jo's professionalism and experience informed her excellent advice when getting mortgage pre-approval, making an offer, seeking a remedy for some of the issues that came up in the inspection and ultimately closing. She provided diligent timelines, was always accessible for questions, and gave my husband and I and our little guy thoughtful gifts/treats on closing and move-in day. As we turned to sell our beloved home in Clintonville, she proved herself an expert again when providing advice on some necessary mainteance before showings began and determining a price. COVID-19 and the holiday season not withstanding, our home was put on the market on a Friday and we received an offer we accepted on a Sunday as a result of a showing that occurred on that Saturday. And can I mention we got an offer over asking price?! It was the straightforward and awesome deal we were looking for! At every point, Bobbie Jo has weighed pros and cons with us. Following her advice has made both buying a new home and selling our old home stressfree and a really rewarding experience for our family....and dare I say fun. Bobbie Jo is an experienced professional and treats her clients like friends and family. I couldn't possibly fathom moving ever again at this point because we love our new home, but I promise that if we do Bobbie Jo will be our first call.

Where should I start? Bobbie Jo Krouse came into my life shortly after the loss of my Mom. I needed to sell my childhood home and my emotions were somewhat raw. Bobbie Jo was very sympathetic and gave me the time I needed to move forward with the sale. She was not pushy, yet she nudged me onward by giving me valuable recommendations and information to help me get the house ready to put on the market. Even though she took the time to sit on my Mom's porch swing and talk with me, I knew she was working like a busy bee in the background! The house sold in less than a week and I was beyond happy with the outcome! Bobbie Jo was with me every step of the way and I can't thank her enough. She is not only a great realtor...she is a wonderful person!

Having worked with several realtors over the years, we can confidently say that Bobbie Jo stands out as the best we've ever encountered. Her proactive approach and dedication to her clients are unparalleled. During our recent home purchase, an unexpected issue with carpenter bees in our shed was identified by the inspector. Before we even had a chance to worry about it, Bobbie Jo had already contacted four local companies, obtained quotes, and presented us with options. All we needed to do was choose the service provider, and she handled everything else seamlessly. This level of service is not just rare; it's exceptional. Most realtors might have simply passed the problem back to us, but Bobbie Jo took it upon herself to resolve it efficiently. Moreover, when we moved to a new state and encountered issues with mail forwarding, Bobbie Jo went above and beyond to ensure we received all our important documents. Her advice and insights throughout the process were invaluable, making what could have been a stressful experience smooth and manageable. Bobbie Jo embodies what one would expect from a top-tier realtor. Whether you're a first-time home buyer or a seasoned property investor, she will exceed your expectations and guide you through every step with expertise and care. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and are grateful for her service. If you're looking for someone who not only knows the market but also genuinely cares about your satisfaction, Bobbie Jo is the realtor for you.

She was beyond patient with all my questions, texts, and calls. Any time I wanted to go see a listing, she was available and set up a showing time for me immediately. She is such a joy to work with and I am so glad I got to work with her!

I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than her. She provided every single detail that was needed for me to buy a condominium. She is strongly and very highly recommended especially for everyone and especially those who are buying it for the first time. She is talented, extremely well versed with the real estate market and above all kind and helpful I recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in Columbus.

Her communication skills, advocacy for her clients, and her organization are all great standards for anyone in the industry. I have cooperated with her on a couple of transactions and she was a huge reason for why they went so smoothly!!

She was always available to answer our questions as we looked for a new home. She has great expertise and we loved working with her.

Can you proofread/edit this as you see fit? Bobbie Jo helped us purchase a home in 2020, and sell that home in 2021. This being our third time working with her, we knew what to expect: a RE professional with unrelenting commitment to customer service and integrity. She far exceeded those expectations. This time around, we were out of town buyers unable to do in-person home visits. Bobbie Jo worked around our schedules (across time zones) to set up Face Time tours. When we were unable to connect via FT, she drove to sites and recorded video tours and texted them to us. Each video provided helpful insights regarding space, potential red flags, and opportunities. These videos were invaluable in making our offer decisions. Bobbie Jo’s market understanding saved us 10s of thousands of dollars by advising us not to go over asking on the home we eventually closed on. The two factors above alone would be enough for me to recommend Bobbie Jo to anyone buying or selling a home. But for good measure she visited our home last week without request (as we are still out of state post-close) to check in on things. Bobbie Jo’s commitment to her clients and their needs is second to none. I highly recommend soliciting her expertise for your home buying/selling needs

House shopping from 400 miles away takes a realtor with great communication skills, perseverance, and patience. Bobbi Jo was a great fit! She helped us with so many angles of buying a house from out of state. She was recommended by a buyer, and a loan officer. We feel very fortunate to have found such a great realtor.

She is confident, reassuring, knowledgeable -- she made what is usually an incredibly stressful process more manageable than we could have imagined. As first-time buyers, she walked us through every step, and she was always there to answer any wild question we threw her way. She works diligently to find the house that is perfect for you. We couldn't be happier with the help she provided us and would recommend her to any aspiring home owners in a second. We couldn't have found our first house without her!

She was diligent in helping us find the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood. She listened to what we wanted in a home and made every effort to meet our wants! She kept us optimistic through the entire buying and selling process. I would recommend her to anyone looking!

She works with such professionalism, empathy, and determination to serve her clients as thoroughly as possible. She clearly loves her work and spreads excitement and peace of mind at every turn! We cannot recommend Bobbie Jo to enough of our friends and family - she works so hard to help her clients find their dream home and have the best experience possible in the process. Bobbie Jo really is a shining light in the real estate industry!

She was very helpful answering all of our many questions. This was my first home buying experience and Bobbie Jo was excellent in guiding me on my journey.

She helped with gaging what we needed to do to get the house ready and was well prepared to put our house on the market at a competitive price. Overall a job very well done.

She was so kind and so helpful, and willing to go the extra mile to help us find a house! She's super great to work with, and we're so glad to have met her :)

Simply give Bobby Jo your pre-approval letter for a mortgage and a few of your ideas and she will do the rest. She negotiated the best price for me (below asking price). We literally found my home in 2 days! She has every resource you could possibly need for pre and post closing plus all of her resources works just as hard as she does. She is a ball of energy. She works around the clock. She helped my friend purchase a home and it was him that recommended her. She supported me throughout the process AND after. You don’t need to have any knowledge about the home buying process. She explains everything in full details and is extremely transparent. Every year she sends my friend holiday gifts. She even gave me a closing gift! I literally do not have enough space on this comment box to express my gratitude for this lovely lady. Please, if your serious about buying/selling a home, give Bobby Jo a call.

!!! She helped my family and I find our first home:) it was a long process, but she was ALWAYS available- and honestly made everything much easier. SO GRATEFUL! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home ☺️

But it's during the searching process where she shines the most. She listens to what you say as well as what you're not saying and formulates a plan that doesn't waste a lot of time. She got to the right home after only 2 days of searching because she aware of the goal we had. In short use Bobbie Jo to accomplish your goals, that's all that needs said.

Buying and selling homes can be very stressful and she minimized this to the create the best outcome possible. She is very detail oriented, knowledgeable and has plenty of connections in the industry to maximize the real estate transaction & experience. I high recommend Bobbie Jo for anything real estate related and promise you will not be disappointed.

I worked with her during the purchase and subsequent sale of my home. During purchase, she advised me on the ideal offer to land the house. Then, on the sale side she helped me navigate the pros and cons of each offer, eventually advising me to settle on an offer with a lower offer price but higher appraisal coverage. This decision worked wonderfully as the appraisal came in under offer, but the appraisal coverage made me whole. On top of her technical skills, Bobbie Jo excels at keeping closing on track while holding all parties accountable. I would gladly work with Bobbie Jo again and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

She worked diligently and tirelessly to ensure that we got our beautiful house. She’s not only knowledgeable but also professional and time conscious. I highly recommend her.

She was professional, proactive, and did a great job negotiating on my behalf.

A very hard and attentive worker and understands the market.

!! Back in 2020, Bobbie Jo helped us buy our first home and then helped us sell it just a year later for a profit when we had to move out of state. This spring of 2024, we were moving back into the area and Bobbie Jo helped us buy our second home from 1,200 miles away. What could have been a stressful experience was actually a breeze with her. She took videos of homes we couldn’t video call for tours and gave us honest feedback about the spaces based on what she knows about our preferences. She gave us amazing advice about the offer that ended up getting us our beautiful home, and even secured us some amazing closing deals. Even after our closing date, she was available for any questions, comments, and concerns we had while planning our move. She coordinated with our local family to have keys transferred ahead of our move back, and was always happy to shoot us a recommendation for a service. She is extremely knowledgeable, has fantastic connections, and is a hoot to talk to. As long as Bobbie Jo is working, she will be our realtor!

We are so happy we were referred to her and would do the same to anyone who needed a caring, knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent.

We were first-time homebuyers and she went above and beyond when walking us through the process. She made the process fun, educational, and, most importantly, easy and low-stress. I cannot recommend Bobbie Jo more and will do so when any of my friends or family go house hunting.
