Testimonials
I am thrilled to share my outstanding home-buying experience, made possible through Rhonda’s exceptional support and expertise. Over several months, Rhonda provided me with invaluable local real estate knowledge, which was critical in helping me secure a fantastic property in New Albany. As someone new to Ohio, my home search process required significantly more guidance than it might for a local buyer. I was determined to find a home in New Albany, but the mid-2024 real estate market was highly competitive. To complicate matters further, I was highly selective in my preferences. During my visit to New Albany, Rhonda showed me several properties, helping us both refine the search criteria. However, my visit in the area ended without a purchase, leaving Rhonda to assist a remote—and admittedly picky—client. Ultimately, the selection of homes meeting my needs was limited, but Rhonda’s persistence and dedication paid off. We eventually found a beautifully remodeled property that was initially overpriced. Thanks to her skillful negotiations with the listing agent, Rhonda secured a fair deal that satisfied all parties. We successfully closed on the property, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I can write a whole lot more but will conclude with one last note. Rhonda and The Raines group are terrific and truly care for their clients’ needs. You will not be disappointed.
Rhonda Cox has outstanding communication skills, extensive market knowledge, and personable approach truly set her apart. Throughout the home-buying process, she remained dedicated and supportive, always putting her clients first. Working with Rhonda made the experience not just smooth but enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and personable realtor.
When it came to buying our first home, my fiance and I did not know where to begin, what questions to ask and what to be aware of. Rhonda at The Raines Group was an absolute game changer! At our meetings, she condensed years of experience and knowledge into a single session and provided us with the tools we needed to make an educated decision. Rhonda has great professional connections when it comes to potential mortgage lenders in the Columbus area. Each connection is vetted by her, which adds a level of assurance when choosing a potential lender. Having a well-experienced and well-connected agent, helped expedite the home buying process and provided us with a level of confidence - knowing that we were talking to the right people for us. Rhonda is very personable and perceptive - During our tours, she picked up on our subtle social queue's which helped her better understand what we wanted, without having to necessarily tell her what we wanted. Rhonda also helped us imagine what it would be like living in the potential homes we toured - by creating that vision, my fiance and I felt even more confident in the home we ended up purchasing! The home buying process for first time home buyers is stressful but there is no better person to have in your corner than Rhonda! Like I said, Rhonda is a game changer!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Rhonda Cox throughout the entire process of selling our old home. Both my wife and I were so pleased with how personable the entire process was from start to finish, and Rhonda was there for us every step of the way. Our previous home was a rather unique product, and Rhonda was able to step up to the challenge and come up with innovative solutions that, without her ingenuity, both the ourselves and the buyers would likely be in a very different position. Rhonda was friendly, courteous, timely, kept up updated every step of the way and handled the sale of our home like the professional she is. We are so overwhelmingly excited to be in our new home and none of that would be possible without Rhonda. 10/10, would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell their home in the Columbus area. We cannot show enough gratitude for all the hard work she put in for us.
Rhonda did a great job of helping guide me, a first time home buyer, through the process of buying my first home. She is super responsive, knows the city of Columbus well and is a great negotiator.
