Petra Hinterschied

"When I decided to relocate from New York City to Columbus Ohio, I searched the 'net for realtors. I was immediately impressed by the detail of Petra's website. I called her and we made plans to meet. Six months before the move, Petra picked me up at my hotel and drove me around different areas of Columbus so I could get a feel for what I liked. I was pretty unsure and Petra was very patient and informative. On my next visit, I selected homes to view and Petra executed the appointments flawlessly. She pointed out positive and negative qualities of each home which was invaluable for a first time buyer! With her help, I was able to really focus on which options would be best for me. On our third meeting, Petra took me to my beautiful new home. It wasn't even on my list! Other realtors may have been impatient with an indecisive buyer, but Petra had been taking mental notes of my likes and dislikes. She led me right to the perfect home! In the weeks that followed, Petra handled many of the details for me since I was out of state. She went out of her way to schedule inspections for me and guided me through all of the negotiations. She asked for things from the seller that would not have occurred to me. I continued to be impressed by her commitment to excellence. I truly could not have done it without her. From selection to move-in, Petra was with me every step of the way. She is very honest, hard-working and someone I'm proud to call a friend. If you are thinking of buying or selling in this great city, Petra is who you need. Both professionally and personally, Petra is outstanding!."

"We were referred to Petra by friends of ours who own a mortgage co. (That said a lot right off the bat!) We had done a lot of work on our home to get it ready to list, I called Petra to get her advice on something and she came over the same day! Our house was in contract within 25 days!!!! And we were offered and sold OVER the listing price! We had 10 days per our agreement with the buyer to find a home for our family....we sent Petra a list of MLS #'s from the VERY.....helpful emails she sent us that we wanted to see, she added another home to our list and guess what....that's the one we bought!! We love our new home and we really did rely on Petra's experience, knowledge and honesty! We will definately refer our friends and family to Petra!!! You will feel that you have made a true friend!"

""My husband and I contacted Petra after finding her on the Internet and when I read all of the great success stories, I knew that she must have been pretty good. Mind you, I was a little nervous getting involved with someone I found on the Internet but it payed off wonderfully. I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. She contacted me immediately after my first initial e-mail to her and she told us what we needed to have and do in order to get prepared as first time home buyers. Once we were ready, I contacted her again and she took it from there. The daily listings of homes were great. Very detailed and she sent exactly what we were looking for. Even when I wasn't sure what we wanted, it seemed that she knew exactly what we were looking for. She was always available when we needed to talk to her or if we had any questions for her and she never made us feel silly when we asked the same questions over and over. She found us a wonderful home in Reynoldsburg, within a few weeks and only after looking at a few homes. She gave her honest opinion about the homes and treated us like family by not letting us get into something she knew we wouldn't like in the long run. Petra is absolutely wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our home or our decision to work with Petra. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants an honest and down to earth Realtor such as herself. She even invited us to her house for Thanksgiving when she knew we weren't going to having one!!!! That says a lot about someones character. I can't say enough good things about her!! Thank you Petra, you've truly made us one happy family."

""We relocated from Charlotte, NC and found working with Petra to be a very pleasant experience. She listened to the type of home we were interested in, and only presented us with homes that met our criteria. We finally found a home in Powell, Ohio. It took a while, but Petra was patient and showed that she was more interested in making sure we get the right home than in a 'commission check'. She is a rarity in her profession and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone. Thanks Petra for all your help!"

""I worked with Petra to sell my home during the tough housing market in Spring 2007. She was terrific to work with both during the listing process and during negotiations. I have worked with realtors in other cities before, and compared to those experiences, Petra is in a class by herself in terms of the amount of thoughtful attention and time she spends with each client, and her frank and honest communication style. Prior to listing, she recommended upgrades that I needed to have done and she also went the extra step to connect us with service providers who did the work quickly and affordably. Her suggestions were spot on, significantly improved the home's appearance, and ultimately resulted in the home selling quickly. I was very impressed with the time she invested in monitoring the sale of my home while it was listed: she followed up after each showing to get feedback from the other realtors on their clients' response to the home. Once offers started arriving, Petra's negotiating skills truly astounded me. Thanks to her calm but firm negotiation, our house eventually sold for over $10K more than the initial offer. I wholeheartedly recommend Petra if you are looking to buy or sell a home in Columbus Ohio."

"I was searching for a home in the Worthington School District--and had given up on finding anything in my price range for the amount I was able to spend. After seeing Petra's website--I was hooked. The site was not "run of the mill". Petra was as interesting and delightful as her site. I found a house that met all of my basic requirements and that was just around the corner from where I was renting. She was always available when I needed her and was very helpful--even coming to my workplace to deliver papers when they were needed immediately. She could tell when I walked in that I wanted the house--and gave me advice about an offer that proved to be true. I am very happy in my new place. It was in good shape--and I still "love my house". As with any house, there are always things that you want to change to make it truly "home", but they are cosmetic and ever-changing, just like life. (Purchased home in Worthington Schools - Columbus mailing address)""

"Petra was the best thing that could have possibly happened to us for our home search in Columbus. She was able to listen to our likes and dislikes and come up with suggestions for homes we never would have found ourselves. She went above and beyond the call of duty in showing us homes all over Central Ohio. Where she really “shined” was when we started our negotiation process. She was able to find comparables for each neighborhood that demonstrated for us the price we should be offering. During the “back and forth” she was steadfast and then flexible. She was whatever the situation called for. You definitely want her on your team and not playing against you. I would highly recommend Petra Hinterschied for finding your next home anywhere in Columbus Ohio."

""We found Petra on the internet and called her to see our first house. She was very professional, very informative, and most importantly determined and passionate about finding a house to best suite our needs. Soon we were excited to learn her reputation was one of the best in Columbus. A couple weeks later we set up a day to view several houses. After viewing a few we still didn't have that "I gotta have that home feeling." Petra then convinced us to view a home that just went on the market. We didn't want to, but gave her the benefit of the doubt, and sure enough she was right. It was the home we were looking for. If it were not for Petra's expert opinion and detrmination we wouldn't have found "our" perfect fit. Petra's team was great and very flexible in meeting all of our demands and needs. THANK YOU!!"
