Client Reviews
"The Gene Group was flawless."
The Gene Group is a dynamic realty company. From my first conversation with their staff I felt I was already in good hands. Very professional and customer friendly. Selling a home can be a nerve-wracking experience, however, the process with the Gene Group was flawless! No matter who I spoke with I was assured of the next step. I must give a special shout-out to Danielle Crawford. She is Awesome! Throughout the entire process, Danielle held my hand. From phone calls to in-person visits, from email reminders to personal text messages, Danielle checked all boxes!! I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much Danielle for getting my home sold so quickly!! And the icing on the cake… I was able to meet Gene himself. He greeted me with a smile as I knocked on the door after hours. I hadn’t realized he was the person who assisted me with backing up the moving truck that was provided rent-free for three days!! I give the Gene group 5 Stars!! An amazing team of professionals!

When we finally picked ourhouse she negotiated A great deal for us. I can’t say enough about how great Jerri was. Shetreated us with respect and anticipated our needs. Without her we wouldn’t have ended up withour dream home. We can’t thank her enough.

"I envision us working together for a long time!"
I have worked with many real estate agents in the past, but Kirby O'Brien is, by far, the best one Ihave ever worked with. I have both purchased and sold properties with Kirby and have alwaysbeen thoroughly satisfied with the quality of her services. Kirby always goes above and beyond tomake sure that everything is taken care of, and nothing is left to chance. She listens closely to myneeds and concerns. She holds open houses, and when needed, she fights hard to ensure that Iam getting the best deal possible. What makes Kirby even better is the support she receives fromher team at Century 21. They are all working together to achieve the best results for her clients,which means they are working in my best interests too. I have been searching for a real estateagent like Kirby for a long time, and now that I have found her, I envision us working together for along time. I can strongly recommend Kirby without hesitation, but I am sure that everyone on theCentury 21 team is fantastic.

"Consistently communicated"
We were way past the point of needing to relocate; 150+ miles a day, car maintenance, gasprices and the time sacrifice were a few of the obvious reasons we could no longer put off findinga home in Troy. We needed a realtor who could offer flexibility, commitment and compassion. ErinKristbaum with Century 21 Gene Group patiently and creatively provided the information andguidance that led us to our home in Fox Harbor. She consistently communicated, even when wegave her little or no response, she continued to provide possibilities. Erin helped us traverse theuncertainties of buying a home, at times exemplifying grace under pressure. She treated us asclients before we met. We not only count her as a trusted realtor but also a good friend!

"Extremely positive experience!"
I worked primarily with Erin during my home buying process, but every interaction I had with theother relators was always an extremely positive experience. I took my time with this process, Iwas picky and specific about what and where I needed to be. At no point did I feel pressured orrushed to jump into an agreement I wasn't sure on. When I was taking time back to wait for moreoptions for something to come up I was never forgotten nor did I have to remind anyone aboutwhat my main needs for a home were. Everyone who was recommended for house inspectionsand the like was professional and affordable. The relators are very knowledgeable about not justthe home buying process, but about common issues to look for in houses as well. I cannotrecommend this office enough for your house hunting.

You can truly seethe love and passion she has in her career and for the people she helps. We looked at around 6 orso homes before we put in an offer. On a multiple offer listing, she made sure we came out on topto get our offer accepted. During negotiations, she kept us updated and worked tirelessly to makesure we got what we needed. I could go on forever about how amazing Leslie is at what she doesand how much she cares about her clients. My recommendation for Leslie and The Gene Groupcould not be any stronger.

This year, we ventured out into a very competitive housing market with the hopes of having anoffer accepted on a home that our family could grow into.

"Caring, friendly, understanding, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, organized, timely, and just flat out outstanding!"
The Gene Group is absolutely amazing. Caring, friendly, understanding, professional,knowledgeable, compassionate, organized, timely and just flat out outstanding. Every questionwas answered immediately. They researched issues if they couldn’t answer about a prospectiveproperty. They went out of their way to move our closing closer to my office because I had a workissue that day. There is just no way to thank them enough! The properties were always within oursearch range and requested dollar amount. If they didn’t work out for whatever reason, propertieswere immediately available for other options. Our agent, Jennifer Olekas, was so helpful throughthe process. Went out of her way many times. I was tasked with finding my Mom a condo in Ohioso she could move from Florida. That is never easy. Other than a facetime viewing of her newcondo she didn’t get to see it until the day she closed! and she loved it. She totally trusted ouragent! Just the best customer service I’ve ever experienced when trying to purchase a home!Thank you, Jennifer and the entire team at the Gene Group! You made our lives so much easierduring a very difficult process!

"So professional!"
Najee Shine was so professional, understanding, and human. While going through the process Ihad a death in my family and needed to take a week to get affairs in order and prepare/attend afuneral. That meant so much to me, as a first time home buyer, the process is nerve wrecking, andadd on grief of a lost sibling. Najee’s understanding on the situation showed me he was thecorrect realtor for me.”

"The Gene Group provided peace of mind through each step of the journey!"
The Gene Group exceeded our expectations not only in coordinating the search to find a newhome, but also in providing the tools to stage and market our current home. As a result, withinthree days after listing, the “sale pending” sign was displayed in our yard. At the start, our realtor,Erin Kristbaum, intuitively realized the main challenge for us was finding a new home that wouldmeet our requirements that were set quite high. It’s hard to believe, but the first home visited wasa perfect match and a contract was skillfully written by Erin that was accepted over many others.Moving forward, the talented Gene Group Team provided a seamless coordination of staging,video and marketing so that our current home was highly desirable in the current competitivemarket. As mentioned earlier, it sold in 3 days. The buying and selling of a home can be quite achallenging process, but looking back ,The Gene Group provided “peace of mind” through eachstep of the journey. It is our privilege to recommend this group to others.
- Deborah S.
"Exactly what we needed to help sell our home!"
Erin at The Gene Group was exactly what we needed to help sell our home. The home hadpreviously been on the market with no offers and hardly any viewings. We waited two years andtried again with Erin. She told us exactly what we needed to do to get it market ready, helped usto understand the cost efficiency of doing that work, got three estimates for every job,coordinated all the work (because we are out of state), and put out every “fire” that came up. Wegot three offers over our asking price the first day. Easiest home sale ever!
- Erika S.
"We had a fantastic experience!"
We had a fantastic experience working with Kim McAndrew at The Gene Group! After finding outabout a military move with little notice, Kim and her team were able to help us determine thatselling our home was the best option for us, helped us stage our home, and had beautiful picturestaken in a timely manner. We ultimately had multiple excellent offers on our house within hoursof listing! Kim also worked hard to accommodate the timeframe of our move out of state to aid usin a smooth transition out of Dayton. We’ll be recommending her to all others we know moving toor from the Dayton area!

"Authentic, effective, and exceptionally responsive."
Erin Kristbaum is an authentic, effective, and exceptionally responsive agent who served as ourbuyer’s representative in Dayton, Ohio. I would characterize her as “Top of her Class” in real estatetransactions knowledge, customer service, and professionalism. But her skills don’t stop there. Erinis an astute observer — not only of the possible pit-falls and concerns in a listed property, butalso of the people with whom she’s working. We tried early on to provide a summary of our housepreferences and she dutifully took them on board. But Erin clearly was noting our reactions andbody language when we looked at (and discussed) every property. She also knew whichproperties might not be quite right for us based on the dialogue my wife and I were sharingprivately, but in Erin’s company. Erin shared her insights at just the right moments andthoughtfully noted how and where our preferences were evolving. When it came time to discussour purchase offer, Erin skillfully researched the market as any good agent would, but she wentabove-and-beyond with some additional market science and helped us map out brilliantnegotiating milestones, which may be the area where she excels. Impeccable integrity and hardworking, Erin Kristbaum is one of those real estate professionals who probably should be trainingother agents. If we decide to buy another property in the Dayton, Ohio area, we won’t rely onsearch engines or other peoples’ recommendations; we’ll probably just find Erin Kristbaum andsay, “Erin, we’d like your help.” My wife and I believe we could not have done any better when weentrusted you to help us find a place to call home after being stationed overseas for more than 16 consecutive years. When a rare bottle of wine shows up on your desk some day in the nearfuture, you’ll know who it’s from. Enjoy it in the knowledge that you deserve every drop of it!

"Simply the best! Went above and beyond in searching out homes."
Being a new home buyer seeking to relocate to Dayton, Ohio, appeared as a very dauntingproposition when I started looking for a real estate agent. Being unfamiliar with Dayton and itssurrounding areas, it had to be someone with scads of patience to put up with all my manyquestions regarding both finding a home to meet my requirements AND regarding the wholeprocess. My real estate agent Beth App, with The Gene Group, was simply THE BEST! She wentway above and beyond in searching out houses she believed would be a good fit. She never losther patience, has a great sense of humor, and always got back to me in a very timely manner. Without any reservations whatsoever, I would recommend her to anyone at any time, anywhere.Thank you Beth!!!

"I’m a first time home buyer and I could not have done it without my agent!"
I’m a first time home buyer and I could not have done it without my agent Olivia. She kneweverything that was going on with the houses I looked at. She listened to my needs and wants andfound houses to look at that didn’t waste my time, which I appreciated. She showed me theperfect house and we both knew immediately that it was the one. The house buying process canbe dizzying at times, but my agent kept me informed and I had full faith that she was a seasonedveteran and knew what she was doing was in my best interest.

"Made the process meaningful and smooth!"
To whomever is looking for a home:A little over a year ago, I reached out to Sarah about buying a house. Being new to Ohio, I didn’tknow the specifics of the different areas to buy in. However, Sarah went out of her way to makeme feel like I was apart of her family; that made the process meaningful and smooth. Even withthe craziness I had going on in my life at the time, Sarah made herself available all times of dayand night with my crazy work schedule. In fact, she went out of her way to come by job to helpme close out some due outs prior to the closing. I must say after reaching out to Sarah in July andbeing able to close on my house with keys in hand by the end of August 2020 was an amazingstress reduced experience. Thank you Sarah. You are truly amazing.
