Sandy Raines

Founder and CEO of the #1 Real Estate Team in Ohio

What do Clients Say?

Sandy and her team were outstanding! After meeting with Sandy and agreeing upon a price, she took it from there. There were multiple showings at convenient times and I greatly appreciated that consideration. It was a smooth close with all the right people doing professional inspections and follow up. Having moved 19 times in my career, this was by far the smoothest process, transaction and close that I have ever experienced. Sandy and her team have a culture that is unusual. The customer culture in her company is demonstrated that you are the only client that they are dealing with at any time. In my search for a realtor to represent myself and my house, Sandy is the gold standard!

I was very impressed with many aspects of the home selling services offered by the Raines Group. They developed a very thorough and detailed plan for selling our house, and then executed each step with attention to detail. Once the house was in contract, they stayed right on top of things to make sure no potential contingencies got in the way. I am very thankful for their guidance and for having them in my corner. They are the real deal in selling real estate.

Sandy is a real estate professional who knows her market and knows the real estate business. We have used Sandy on three occasions and in both buying and selling capacities. She is a focused listener who will find you the house you seek. She is a savvy marketer when it comes time to sell. She knows what to do to get your house on the market, fixes to make it show well, and knows at what price to list for a quick sale.

The best real estate team I've ever experienced. Experts in the local market and armed with all the technology and social media tools to make marketing, communicating and coordinating a home purchase/sale go as smoothly as possible.

The Raines Group has a process and a philosophy that is heads and tails above all the other realtors in my area. They're better at marketing, better at pricing, better at negotiation, better at staging than anyone we've seen. Using anyone else will cost you time and money. They sold our house in under 45 days, for significantly more money than any other home on our street, even helping to work through an appraisal that didn't meet the purchase price. Fantastic experience with them.
