CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
William Robbins | The Robbins Group of Coldwell Banker Realty | 614.208.8785 | columbusmetroagent@gmail.com
“William helped me sell my father’s home. He considered all of our concerns and addressed them quickly and thoroughly. He looked forward, passed our highest and best offer, secured the next best offer in case the first offer fell through. That exact scenario happened and Bill quickly secured that offer. All of the communication was stellar. Every single showing was documented and times updated through text. William made sure this sale, my first actually, was as great an experience of saying goodbye to a family home of 55 years could be. Thank you.”
“William is one of the best. He has great attention to detail throughout the entire home search and closure process, and truly cares about his clients. I would not have the great house I have without his creative and strategic approach to putting together a successful offer!”
“Bill is the best Realtor in Columbus!”
“We have had the pleasure of working with Bill twice now, including during our recent home purchase and couldn’t be happier with our experiences. He demonstrated unparalleled responsiveness and was always there to address our questions and concerns promptly. He helped us to be creative with our offers in a very competitive market, making the long journey of finding our new home an exciting and enjoyable one. His wealth of knowledge about the market and the buying process gave us confidence at every turn. If you’re in need of a dedicated, creative, and knowledgeable real estate agent, look no further than Bill.”
“Bill was amazing to work with! I was looking for my first home and had no idea what I was doing, and Bill helped with everything. He answered my questions very quickly, no matter the time of day. He was also incredibly prompt with coming up with solutions to problems that arose during the closing process and seemed to have connections with every type of handyman in Columbus. I HIGHLY recommend Bill to anyone looking for a realtor and really can’t say enough good things about him!”
“Working with William made purchasing our first home painless and easy. We catered to every need we had even though we were located in a different state. Everyone says their realtor is great, but let me tell you, this guy is the best. He helped us find a home and we closed on it in less than 30 days. He’s awesome about making sure we were organized and on top of due dates. He also put us in contact with a few people if we ever needed work done with the house and they have been great too!
The thing I loved the most was that it truly felt like there were no “stupid questions” I could ask. Whenever ANYTHING crossed our minds, he would respond almost immediately and thoughtfully.
I cannot stress this enough, if you need a realtor, do yourself a favor and contact him.”
“I would strongly recommend using William to represent you as you buy or sell property. He is professional, prompt, and easy to work with. Using an agent who has these qualities the first time will save you time and money. I will plan to use him again in the future without reservations.”
“William Robbins is an exceptional Realtor, and my husband and I had a wonderful homebuying experience working with him. From our first meeting, William took his time to get to know us. It was obvious he cares deeply about ensuring his clients find the home that is the best possible match for their preferences and needs. Even though we were conducting our home search from out of state, William was able to quickly earn our trust. He seemed magically accessible, day or night, 7 days a week and was always personable and professional.
Throughout our home buying process in a fast-paced market, William was lightning quick with responses/paperwork, organized, and always went above and beyond to advocate for our needs. Showings were confirmed within minutes after sending a text, and any additional questions we had about properties William readily obtained so we could be the most prepared prior to the showing. Over our 5-month search, William was clearly up to date on market conditions, and we felt well informed when viewing homes and making decisions about placing offers. Despite the challenges of a home search in this unique market, William made what could have been a stressful process fun and enjoyable with his fantastic sense of humor.
William has a seemingly limitless understanding of the nuances between different Columbus neighborhoods, and we appreciated his ability to help us navigate our searches in Upper Arlington, Bexley and German Village, especially since most of our showings were done virtually! With each property, he was attentive to our needs/wish lists and provided thoughtful insights without ever coming across as overbearing. He truly lets his clients be the “stars of the show!”
Of all the Realtors we have worked with over the years, William has been, without hesitation, the BEST. We hope to enjoy our new home for many years, but when it comes time for us to sell, we already know William will have our listing!”
“William is an exceptional Realtor, and we had a wonderful home buying experience working with him! He has an unparalleled and seemingly limitless understanding of the nuances between different Columbus neighborhoods. He was attentive to our needs/wish lists and provided thoughtful insights into each of the properties we were considering.
Throughout the process in an unpredictable, fast-paced market, William was dedicated, lightning quick with responses/paperwork, organized, and always went above and beyond. He had a great pulse on market conditions, and we felt well informed when placing an offer. My wife and I loved his positive attitude, sense of humor, and wit—it made what many consider a stressful process entertaining and enjoyable.
Of all the Realtors we have worked with over the years, William has truly been the best (and by a long shot)! Highly recommend!”
“Bill is a fantastic person and Realtor! My aunt and uncle recommended him. My husband and I were looking for our first home and had no clue of what to do, Bill helped us with everything. He made sure we work with a reliable lender, home inspector, and so much more. Bill took his time with us with each house we visited and was honest about how he felt about each house. We eventually found our dream home! I can not thank Bill enough for all that he has done for us. I highly recommend you contact Bill if you are looking for a home!”
“To say that Bill did a fantastic job would be an understatement! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so much to learn throughout the process, and Bill made it feel seamless. He took the lead on many aspects of the process, and provided peace-of-mind. If I had questions, he was prompt about getting me the answers I needed in order to make well-informed decisions. When the time comes to sell or buy another property, I won’t be hesitating to get back in touch with him. I would highly recommend him to others looking to buy or sell. I can’t express my gratitude enough, Bill. Thank you so much!”
“I can’t say enough about how great Bill was to work with! We have now bought and sold with him and on both sides of it was simply fantastic! He was readily available whenever we wanted to look at a house, brought extensive knowledge about the (crazy!) housing market and provided thorough and thoughtful insight from both perspectives of the process. Additionally, Bill was extremely patient with my husband and I, as we made and over-analyzed every decision. He was available by text at all hours of the day and helped us navigate the market. Bill brings all these qualities to the table for his clients, not just in the real estate transaction, but in the transition to their new home/community. We purchased a home that needed a bit of work and Bill made suggestions of several individuals that did the work for us. Bill’s level of commitment to us was truly service-oriented. If you are looking for a relaxed, easy to work, dependable and well-humored realtor, I would highly recommend contacting Bill!”
“William will go the extra mile to get your house sold! He communicates well and gives great advice throughout the process. Highly recommend!”
“William was the secret to our success and our sanity as we searched for our new home during an incredibly turbulent real estate market. As out of state buyers, we relied heavily on him to be our eyes on site. He was patient, honest, and thoughtful in his approach. Always willing to tell us what he really thought, and open listening to us debate the next right step for our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner.”
“William is fantastic! Being a first time home buyer in this crazy market he really kept us calm and explained the whole process to us in an easy way. Thank you so much for all your hard work you did for us we are very grateful!”
“William Robbins has the charisma, interpersonal intelligence, and vast network of support needed to be successful in both buying and selling homes. He’s a Realtor other Realtors want to work with which is essential (he knows and is respected by everyone and he gets things done). William skillfully reads situations and applies the flattery, humor, or toughness that is required. He demystifies the entire real estate process and makes his clients feels at ease”
“William Robbins is a superlative Real Estate Agent on every level. His patience, dedication, attention to detail, and negotiation and communication skills are unsurpassed. William worked as my seller’s agent on the sale of my house, the buyers were difficult beyond belief, yet William was able to close the deal. I highly recommend him. He absolutely will not disappoint.”
“Bill has been my realtor for years and has been a tremendous help in my home buying journey . I have appreciated his honesty and professionalism. If you’re looking for A realtor who is highly organized, knowledgeable and will keep it real, I highly recommend Bill.”
“William’s listings are meticulously prepared. He provides top level service with individualized marketing, professional presentation, and 3D tours. He sets reasonable timelines for getting a home ready to market, which I always appreciate. He is very personable with clients and extremely knowledgable on the market and the home buying/selling process. Highly recommend.”
“William helped us sell our downtown Columbus condo, and we couldn’t be happier. He was extremely knowledgeable of the market, and got our condo sold fast (in one day), and for above asking. The entire process, from listing, to inspection, to closing was seamless, and most importantly, painless. If your considering a real estate agent, we highly recommend William, and you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Willam!”
“We loved working with Bill Robbins and had a wonderful experience with Bill and HER through every phase of our move from NYC to Columbus. We were extremely unfamiliar with the Columbus area when we decided to move and Bill was extremely helpful in educating us on the market and helping us to find the perfect neighborhood and home to raise our family. Bill took the time to get to know us and was like an extension of the family throughout the purchase process. Bill was candid and professional every step of the way and provided critical insights on key decisions as well as minor but important details. We can’t recommend Bill Robbins or HER highly enough.”
“William helped us sell our home. We got 44 showings in one weekend and sold for well over asking price. Especially in this crazy market, he made it a simple and painless experience on our end!”
“Had the best experience with Bill selling our home in German Village area. He is prompt, responsive, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. Would recommend his services to anyone looking to buy/sell a home!”
“Bill was incredibly efficient and excellent to work with. He produced an excellent listing for us in a quick timeframe. The photos, staging and his negotiation/communication during the showing succeeded in getting us well over asking! Highly, highly recommend.”
“We LOVED working with Bill! He made our home search in this crazy market fun and as pain free as possible. We had a short search window and were coming from out of town. Bill walked through houses with us virtually and scheduled full days full of showings when we could make it to Columbus. He understood what we wanted and helped us find our perfect home. I can truly say that we would not have gotten our house if it weren’t for Bill acting on his feet!”
“Bill was a great Realtor! He gave very good advice on bidding in this housing market, and because of his good advice, I lucked out and won a house as a backup offer! He has many years of experience, and is very knowledgeable about house realty. Would 100% recommend.”
“Human cloning should be selectively allowed so everyone who is buying or selling a home can use realtor Bill Robbins. My house was on the market last year and did not sell. Bill quickly sold the same house this year for over the asking price and he helped me find a new one to buy. Bill gives great advice, is detail-oriented, kind, professional and smart.”
“Bill was great. He helped us find exactly the kinds of houses we were looking for, got us in to see them immediately in a really competitive market, and helped us through the entire process from making offers to closing. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Bill was a dream to work with. My husband and I were first time home buyers, Bill was very patient and understanding through the entire process.”
“Williams “Bill” Robbins the was amazing. He was so responsive and made the stressful process of buying a house as easy as possible. Would highly recommend using him!”
“Bill did a fabulous job selling my home and transitioning to a downsized home. I would highly recommend him!”
“William is an amazing realtor - he’s professional, punctual, knowledgeable, practical, and very easy to work with. He made the home search very easy and user friendly. Throughout my homebuying process he was invaluable in gathering information and advocating for my interests. I highly recommend him!”
“Truly a fantastic realtor. We were first-time home buyers who had recently moved from across the country. We were not familiar with the Columbus area. William worked with us and got an idea for what we wanted in terms of a neighborhood and aspects of a home. He gave us honest and constructive input on houses we visited. Once we had decided on the house we wanted, he was incredibly helpful throughout the purchasing process. He was patient and quick to respond to all of our questions. He was also very quick to send us changes or updates. He even put in extra effort after the house was purchased to give recommendations on contractors to help us customize the house. We highly recommend William to anyone looking to purchase a house in the Columbus area.”
“Great experience”
“I can not recommend this agent enough!!! The very best experience I have ever had. We have bought and sold numerous properties and I only wish I had met William before. He sold two properties for us. He was professional and always responded to everything very quickly. Needs more than 5 stars.”
“William was outstanding throughout the entire process. We had lived in our home for 17 years and were fuzzy on the details of real estate transactions. William patiently shared his expertise and went above and beyond for us. As a result, we sold in three days at $15,000 over our asking price. HIGHLY recommended!”
“William was the best. This turned out to be a trying sell the first go round but he stayed positive and got us through it...thanks so much and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again William”
“We had a such a positive experience with William Robbins representing us for the sale of our home. Bill made the entire process seamless and executed every detail perfectly all while being very respectful of our time and lives. In addition to being professional, efficient and knowledgeable he is so personable and very easy to work with. He took all of the stress out of selling our home and we highly recommend him!”
“My husband and I have bought and sold a dozen or so houses over the last 20 years, both as investments and our own residences. Bill Robbins has been our realtor though them all and we have been extremely happy with his work.
Every single transaction with Bill has been professional and focused on our listings while making the process enjoyable. We have challenged him over the years with some extremely distressed properties, difficult deadlines and atypical purchases. Bill has some amazing work in all of these situations.
Our latest purchase was a vacation property in Hide Away Hills, one for our family to use and enjoy. Bill found a cottage with a very affordable asking price. He suggested we look at it quickly (it was new on the market that day) and so we did, on a Saturday afternoon. We fell immediately in love with the home and knew there would be stiff competition to get it. We had not even spoken to a bank about a loan but wanted to act quickly.
Bill helped us set in motion a very aggressive offer and with the help of a talented and hard working loan officer, we won a bidding war for the property. We were enjoying our cottage just two and a half weeks after that initial Saturday showing.
Bill is experienced, caring and extremely good at what he does. The help he has given us as our realtor over the years has truly been life changing for my family.”
“Bill has sold two houses for me quickly and for asking price. He knows how to promote and price your house to sell. He works with an amazing professional stager and a photographer to highlight your home’s best assets. He’s reliable, fun and will tell you honestly when to worry and not to, and I need that. I highly recommend Bill...”
“Bill was absolutely amazing to work with. We had moved out of state prior to listing the home for sale and he coordinated all aspects of the listing, repairs, and closing in our absence. He worked diligently to help us sell the home quickly. From listing to closing was only 30 days! I would never choose anyone other than him to represent us in the future! Thank you Bill for your hard work!”
“William helped my fiancé and I buy our first home. Knowing how competitive market is, we were not very confident in finding something that worked well for us given our wishlist and budget, but he made it happen! He was very helpful throughout the whole process, answered all of our questions and was very responsive. We would definitely recommend him.”
“Bill is the best. Informed, professional, and a joy to deal with, he made the sale of our house a breeze by helping us get multiple offers in just three days (all of which were over our asking price). This was our third time working with Bill. We worked with him as buyers two times and as sellers once, and we would willingly use him again over any other Realtor.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Bill was to work with! He was readily available whenever we wanted to look at a house, brought extensive knowledge about the housing market and provided thorough and thoughtful insight into the home buying process. Additionally, Bill was extremely patient with my husband and I, as first time home buyers. He was available by text at all hours of the day and helped us navigate buying a house during a seller’s market. Bill brings all these qualities to the table for his clients, not just in the real estate transaction, but in the transition to their new home/community. We purchased a home that needed a bit of work and Bill made suggestions of several individuals that did the work for us. Bill’s level of commitment to us was truly service-oriented. If you are looking for a relaxed, easy to work, dependable and well-humored realtor, I would highly recommend contacting Bill!”
“William Robbins is the best Realtor in Central Ohio. He was ALWAYS available and went to bat for us every time we needed help from our lender, our buyers representative, etc. He still checks in with us on how our new house and neighborhood is for us. He helped us with people for remedies, etc. He’s the best!”
“Bill is great! He is extremely responsive (always responded immediately about scheduling viewings, questions about the process, general advice) and very knowledgeable about the process and the Columbus market. I was a first time home buyer and Bill made me feel comfortable, confident, and supported throughout the process (and made sure I didn’t miss any important steps). In a very competitive market he helped me make an offer that was accepted right away.”
“Bill was very responsive to questions or concerns. He helped with great recommendations for a handyman, electrician and others, even three months after closing. I highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a new home.”
“Bill Robbins is the best! We moved to German Village from across the country and were trying to purchase a home in a short time frame when homes were flying off the market. Because we couldn’t be in the area to look at homes, Bill previewed homes for us, took video to share, had all the inside info and was always HONEST in his valuation. He was never concerned about himself…just wanting to find the best deal for us. He brilliantly dealt with bidding wars, negotiated like a champ and found homes for us to view before they hit the market. He was always on top of everything, on time, super responsive and just plain fun to be around. We ended up purchasing a total fixer upper the day it came on the market and Bill dealt with getting the inspection and estimates, The German Village Commission, finding architects for bids, you name it. He made life easier. He is not only our realtor but also a friend! He will take care of you and your family.”
“Bill Robbins represented me in a recent home sale and purchase. I love Bill’s wit which was perfect for those several times I started to slide into “stressed out” mode. He was extremely knowled geable about the neighborhood where I sold my home as well as the one in which I bought my new home. I got the deals I wanted on both homes which I attribute to Bill’s guidance.”
“I would say that Bill has to be THE best realtor in the city of Columbus. He helped my wife sell her first home, was the seller’s agent for the home I purchased, and has now helped us sell that place and buy our new home. He’s beyond helpful throughout the entire process. I don’t know if he sleeps, because he’s always available to text, email, call, drive over to your house in the evening, whatever. Everything is electronic in his world which makes signing paperwork so simple. My wife and I were actually able to put in an offer on a house with our phones over a dinner date.
When it came to the sale of our home Bill was extremely clever how he advertised it. We had a very small home in the German Village area and ended up do very well in the sale. He even cleaned up an accident our dog had just minutes before a showing (although I don’t think he wants to get used to that).
I really could go on and on about the little things that Bill did for us. He is professional, smart, and really listens to what you want…and really funny. Bill was an absolute pleasure to work with and it saddens me that the process is over, because he made home buying and selling so much fun.”
“Bill is honestly the best realtor my husband and I have ever dealt with. Bill sold our home in Bexley in December 2014 – not exactly an ideal time to put a home on the market. Nevertheless, Bill priced our home competitively and strategically negotiated with potential buyers, selling our home over asking price without our even having to hold an open house! As I mentioned, this was all in December, right around Christmas – when homes typically do not look great or sell quickly. In addition to obtaining a great result, which we attribute to his professional photos, knowledge of the neighborhood and market, and aggressive sales approach, he is also a pleasure to work with. He is responsive, trustworthy and conscientious. My family was moving from our home in Bexley out of state – Bill assisted us in a multitude of ways that were well beyond his realtor job description. He met with repair people to ensure remedies were completed. He checked our pipes to ensure nothing froze. He even sent us items that we forgot in the dishwasher. Bill is a professional and he is very good at what he does. I would not for one second hesitate to recommend Bill to sell or buy a home in the Columbus area.”
“Bill suggested I see a property that he thought was built for me. It was exactly what I described to him that I was looking for. He worked diligently to get my offer accepted. Meanwhile prepared my house for sale within a weeks time. Bill marketed the house well and it was in contract immediately. Great attention to detail during the entire process and strong advocate for his clients.”
“We’re first time buyers and Bill was so nice and helpful! He was always available and answered our (many) questions honestly and straightforwardly. He knows the area incredibly well and gave us great advice. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Columbus.”
“Where do I begin? Oh yes, I started in Los Angeles and got connected with Bill before moving to Ohio. Within days of my arrival he had showings scheduled per my exact requests. Bill helped me quickly and painlessly buy the home of my dreams. He also connected me with all the vendors and financing I needed to make a huge move effortless and fun. Highly recommend!!!”
“Bill Robbins was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him and his group to help you buy or sell a home. He helped us through all of the hurdles of being a first-time home buyer and we now own our “forever” home thanks to his guidance and quick response time to new MLS listings. He set up a filter for us for the MLS and also made sure to email us if anything especially promising came on the market in our style. That is how we were able to get the house that we did. The market in Upper Arlington is so crazy everyone fights over houses. We were the first ones into the house and we put an offer in before anyone else even saw it, thanks to Bill’s close attention to new listings. Not every Realtor is going to be this attentive, and we are so lucky that we had Bill on our side!”
“Bill was great! He was incredibly responsive to calls/emails and very upfront about the whole process. We ended up in a house that we absolutely love! Would definitely recommend.”
“Bill came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Selling a house, in the middle of a pandemic, could have been very stressful and overwhelming. Instead, Bill made the process smooth and safe. His professional expertise undoubtedly helped us sell our home quickly (in the first few days for over asking!). Bill is an absolute pleasure to work with and has clearly earned his respected reputation.”
“Bill was recommended to us by one of our friends after we had a bad experience with another realtor while searching for our first home in German Village. We knew he was the right choice when he got us into a house that wasn’t even on the market yet the first time we met. When we found our house, we were able to put the offer in from a park just a few blocks away. We are very happy with our house and would definitely work with Bill again in the future. ”
“We tried to sell our home in the past and were unsuccessful. We had other realtors that seemed to just put a sign in our front yard then waited to see what happened. This was not the case with Bill. During our first meeting, I could tell immediately that Bill would sell our home. He was so impressive, professional, and such a go-getter; I knew he would be a great realtor for us. Bill went above and beyond to market our home to sell. The house looked so great that we were overjoyed to find it sold in one day! We were so thrilled and blessed to have Bill help us!
Bill also helped us purchase our new home as well. The selling, buying, and closing process can make your head spin, but Bill made it easy for us. He always knew what to do or how to guide us in making some of the biggest decisions of our lives. We would strongly recommend Bill to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!
Thanks so much Bill!”
“Bill helped us with 3 different events during the past 6 years of buying and selling homes. He has been a wonderful resource when dealing with everything that comes with such a huge undertaking. Bill is professional, quick to respond and manages every detail of the process. Also worth mentioning that he is spot on in assessing a number that will drum up interest and multiple offers. From the staging advice to the final numbers, he knew exactly what to do. In both instances selling, we were in contract within hours of closing the open house. When he helped us with our purchase, he gave us a fair recommendation on the offer price and helped us through negotiations to seal the deal. Even as we are moving out of state, he is going above and beyond to put us in contact with people he knows to help us forward. I really can’t say enough great things about him! If you’re looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond, Bill is your guy!”
“My wife and I had such a challenging time finding a house in the competitive market of Clintonville. We had a series of missed opportunities so we decided to find another realtor. Within an hour of meeting Bill, we looked at our first house, and within four days we were making an offer on another house from the seller’s kitchen. He was professional, prompt, knowledgable, and extremely hard working. He would answer any questions we had within seconds of asking them. We are extremely happy in our new home, and we always say that we wouldn’t be in it if it weren’t for Bill. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is buying and selling a home.”
“Bill was easily the best real estate agent we have worked with in our recent moves across the east coast. He consulted with us to get an idea of what we were looking for and showed us the best of the best houses to meet our needs. He was quick, reliable, and always on top of things. He was very knowledgeable about the market and made the process extremely easy. Bill always had great suggestions for improvements to make the house more valuable, and we valued his opinions. He never made us feel pressured or rushed; but, due to his efficiency, we were making an offer (at Starbucks) after a day and a half of house-hunting. Bill’s technology expertise allowed us to negotiate and sign counter-offers on our drive back to our home in Virginia. And his job didn’t stop there. He was always available (even after closing) and in constant communication. He took care of each problem that arose with ease, which really lessened the stress of our out of state move. We absolutely love our house and can’t thanks Bill enough for everything he did to help us get it. Above all, we had a blast working with Bill! We would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone needing a real estate agent!”
“Bill helped us navigate buying our first home from out of state in the middle of a pandemic and made it an easy and pleasant experience. We could not have been happier with him and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Columbus. When we worked with Bill, we were living in New York and moving to Columbus AND it was in the middle of the Covid pandemic. We were unable to travel for a typical house hunting experience, so Bill did a video walk-through of the home we were interested in (and eventually ended up buying). We then came out to Columbus to see the home in person and Bill walked us through making an offer and all of the steps through closing. He helped us navigate the inspection and acted as our eyes on the ground since we were out of state. Throughout the entire experience he was warm, professional, incredibly helpful and an absolute pleasure to work with. We love our new home in Columbus and are incredibly grateful.”
“Bill goes above and beyond what was required. This seems an easy thing, but it is not. This is especially true when you have two first time home sellers who are eager, nervous, and excited to buy their first home together and sell the bachelor pad. Bill promptly responds to emails, text messages and phone calls. In short, he is available and he makes you a priority. Additionally, he is honest. Bill will provide you with his opinions, when asked (we begged for them!), on both how to ready your home for selling and suggestions related to the purchase of a new home. He is experienced and he is knowledgable about real estate and about home renovations. Additionally, what Bill does not know, he tends to know someone who knows – for example, Bill suggested we fix an overhead light that had unsightly visible cords and do a little ceiling work in our home prior to selling, he also suggested the handy man and electrician to cheaply and correctly perform the work. These suggestions made an impact in our sale and served to assist us in getting the work done. Bill even met workers at our home when we were unable to do so to ensure the work was completed before a showing! Bill eases home buyer/seller tensions with honest feedback and his hard work. I would and I do recommend Bill Robbins as a realtor – in short, Bill is the consumate professional and a genuinely nice guy.”
“I worked with Bill to purchase my home in 2017 and then again in 2020 to sell my home when I relocated for work. I accepted an offer the same evening of my first Open House! Bill knows the local market like no other. Bill was always available to advise me throughout both transactions and I could always count on his guidance even when I wasn’t in the market. I highly recommend working with Bill and if I come back to the Columbus market he will be one the first people I contact!”
“William has been an outstanding real estate agent and a trusted advisor for a number of years. He has helped my wife and I on numerous property searches and transactions. Most recently leading us through the process of buying our family home in Bexley. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the central Columbus areas. He deserves the highest marks as an industry leader and as a person!”
“Many thanks to Bill Robbins for selling our home in Schumacher Place in record time and above asking price. Bill was always available, always positive and had great people to take care of every issue that came up. We highly recommend him!”
“We’ve have worked with William (Bill) Robbins on 2 home purchases and a home sale. We enjoyed working with him each time. He responded to our messages quickly, advocated for us, and guided us through the stresses of real estate transactions. Bill helped us stage our home and get it on the market quickly.”
“Bill did a great job of assisting us with the purchase of our new home. We were a rarity in that we were purchasing the home from out of state and he was able to provide live video for all homes and areas of our interest. We couldn’t be happier in our new home.”
“Bill was great to work with. He made the entire house hunting and buying experience fun and hassle-free! I highly recommend him to anyone listing or buying a home.”
“Bill Robbins was an exceptional listing agent for the sale of our home. He was professional and courteous, but completely honest with us regarding all of the finer points of selling a home. He was incredibly informative regarding the best ways in which to stage or condominium, and gave recommendations for affordable improvements that could be made to increase the attractive quality of the home. He and his crew also took high quality images of the condo that really showed it in the best light. Bill was always prompt in responding to our questions, and was receptive to any concerns that we had. He was incredibly generous with his time. He fielded text messages, phone calls, and emails, often responding within minutes, even while on vacation. Bill was calm and professional in his dealings with other agents. Selling a home is stressful, and Bill’s expertise and knowledge, couple with his work ethic, went a long way toward relieving some of that stress. After all was said and done, it took less than two months from listing to close of our condo. I believe that he has truly mastered his profession. I would not recommend any other agent for the sale of a home.”
“Bill Robbins was the ideal professional as an agent for the acquisition of our home. He was courteous, respectful, and completely open and honest regarding all of the finer points of home buying. He also maintained a collected and professional demeanor when dealing with other agents. He displayed a clear expertise and understanding of how the industry operates, and I believe that this had a direct, positive impact on the purchase and terms of purchase for our home. Most remarkably, Bill was incredibly generous with his time. He placed multiple offers on properties while on vacation, and was always so prompt in responding whenever we had a question or concern for him. I think that he has mastered his craft, and I could not recommend him enough as an agent for the purchase of a home.”
“Bill was great! I heard he was magic before I ever worked with him and he certainly proved it with the purchase of our new house. He moved at lightning speed in a competitive market to ensure we secured the house we wanted. He was nothing but professional but very pleasurable to work with and easy to get ahold of. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
“If you are in the market for a real estate agent, do yourself a huge favor and go with Bill Robbins of Gledhill Robbins & Talis. Friends of mine recommended him to me and I am SOOOOOOO glad that they did! This was my first home buying experience, and if I hadn’t had Bill as my navigator, it would have been disastrous. A lot of the other factors in this equation were awful (from a difficult seller’s team, to a mortgage broker that totally dropped the ball,) but Bill definitely had my back! Super responsive, very persistent in making sure those other parties were on task, and highly knowledgeable about the industry…not to mention personable and funny. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him – truly a Real Estate Superhero. If you want someone who will assertively represent your best interests and get things done right, this is your guy.”
“It was by chance, and good luck, that William Robbins became our realtor. In summary we could not have asked for a better realtor and have nothing but good words to say about him and his profes sionalism. We were house hunting in the spring, in German Village and with very busy work schedules and we were able to find a home that we love thanks to the attentiveness of William. William always had our best interest in mind. Even when we were willing to pay more for a home he kept us practical. Toward the end of our closing William went above and beyond to make the closing happen in a timely manner. Again, we felt very lucky to have worked with William and would highly recommend him.”
“Bill Robbins helped my husband and me on and off for years. Recently we bought and sold with Bill and it was a great experience. He never made promises he couldn’t keep, kept our expectations realistic, guided us through the twists and turns, prepared us each step of the way and was always available to us. He has a great sense of humor too so we enjoyed it on a personal level too! We’ll absolutely be working with him again. I would recommend him and his group to everyone!”
“We could not be more pleased with Bill Robbins and the Gledhill Robbins & Talis Group. We received multiple offers on our home – the first one within thirty minutes of being on the market, and we attribute this completely to Bill’s expertise in real estate, and talent for knowing exactly how to introduce a house to the market. With two toddlers, we were concerned about finding time to get the house ready to list, but Bill offered excellent, realistic, and managable suggestions which facilitated the process. From start to finish, it was always easy and comfortable to work with Bill, and he was available whenever we needed him. When it was time to negotiate, we appreciated his knowledge and confidence. There were similar houses in our neighborhood listed before ours came to market, and they were still listed while we were closing. Bill Robbins is an exceptional agent, and he has our highest recommendation.”
“Bill was very easy to work with. We are out of the country, so different time zones made communication a challenge. He listed the house and brought us an offer almost immediately. He went over and above to assist since we were not available to do a number of things. He is immediately responsive via email, which was the best way for us to communicate. I recommend Bill without hesitation for any of your real estate needs.”
“Bill Robbins was wonderful to work with! We relocated to Columbus from out of state in August 2014. We did a lot of online searches and could tell that homes in Columbus were selling very quickly. We first contacted Gledhill Robbins through their website on a Sunday morning, not expecting any response until Monday. Bill actually called us that same day, quickly gained an understanding of what we were looking for, and we made arrangements to view a few properties later in the week when we were in Columbus. The next day our plans changed and we ended up having some time to look at houses that Monday. Bill was able to get us into 4 houses that were not even on the market yet!
He even showed us a couple houses on the 4th of July because we happened to be in town and available to look. He never wasted our time showing us homes that would not work for us. He has vast knowledge of the Columbus area (we were focused on Bexley and German Village) and his advice on neighborhoods and pricing was invaluable. He was always very timely in his responses to our numerous questions. He is honest, ethical, and thorough in his explanations. His use of email and web based documents made it so easy to sign offers and other documents quickly from several states away. We highly recommend Bill, and we will definitely be using him in future real estate endeavors!!”
“Bill was great to work with and was always available to answer my questions and discuss the next steps in the process. He was especially helpful in executing all of the details between when the agreement is initially signed to when it finally closes. He made this potentially stressful time very manageable for me.”
“We worked with Bill Robbins who tireless showed us dozens of houses in a two month period. With his help, we were able to find the perfect house in a relatively short amount of time.”
“We worked with William Robbins to purchase a home in Columbus. Bill was great, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He understood our needs and our wish list, he got us into a house that was the right size, location, and price for us.
Bill was informative, responsive to our questions, and always kept us informed. He was great during negotiations and helped us (as first time home buyers) understand what we needed to do to inspect, purchase, and own a home. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Bill Robbins is a great realtor to work with.
I would highly recommend him and would work with him again in the future when selling or buying a house!”
“Thank you so much for all of your help in the sale of our home. You were very thorough and professional. You did a lot more then we ever expected as our Realtor, from last minute showings to follow-ups with potential buyers. We really appreciated how you were on top of everything and how much you kept us informed along the way, especially since we were already living out of state. David and I felt like we were your only clients even though I know we weren’t. We can’t thank you enough!! Any potential buyer or seller would be so impressed by your knowledge and efficiency when they choose you as their realtor.”
“Bill was an excellent resource to leverage when my husband and I were in the process of buying a new home upon our moving to the Columbus area in April 2013 . He was personable, patient, accommodating, credible, insightful, and knowledgeable. In fact, he effectively explained the entire process from start to finish, kept the lines of communication open, introduced us to a new application to make the paperwork process more efficient, and paid attention to our specific expectations so as to match us with the house that best fit our needs. We are so thankful to him that we can enjoy our new house — a house we are so proud to call home.”
“Bill is informative, reliable, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with when it comes to buying a house and making improvements. He provides you with estimates and ideas for improvents in no time. Bill goes the extra mile as a realtor through the use of technology, finding exactly what type of house works for you, providing you with points of contacts to make improvements, and importantly stays in touch throughout the entire process. Overall, Bill makes shopping for a house enjoyable! When trying to sell your house, Bill is just as enjoyable to work with. He puts time into advertising your house through the use of a great photographer, open houses, and marketing. I have never encoutered a realtor as good as Bill and would highly recommend him and his services for either buying or selling your house.”
“Will~ Thank you so much for going above & beyond to sell our house. You did a lot of extra’s for us to save us time and we really appreciate it. we appreciate how fast you were in getting back to us after showings and being “on call” to us! You were a great realtor for us & we will recommend you to everyone we know who is buying & selling. Here’s a token of our appreciation to help you celebrate the sale and have a nice evening on us : ) IT has been great working with you! Thank you so very much!”
“Bill, Thank you so much for all that you did to help us find the perfect house! We are so happy with the one we ended up with, thank you so much for all of your hard work! You were so amazing to work with and we will be singing your praises to everyone we know! … You are so on top of things, I can’t imagine any Realtor being better at their job! Thanks again for everything. Keep in touch. -Nicole & Ryan P.S. You had better be the first to come and see our new kitchen!”
