Bill Fankhauser - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Selling a home is stressful, but doing it from out of state after a divorce—with two sellers in different states—felt nearly impossible.

Bill handled every challenge with professionalism, patience, and a positive attitude, keeping everything on track with ease. His deep market knowledge and seamless communication made the entire process smooth. Thank you Bill for being a genuinely supportive realtor!

Dependable. Reliable. On time.

Richard A Fankhauser

Bill Fankhauser did an excellent job.

He was professional, always had our best interest in mind, did not rush us, worked within our timeline. He certainly understood the market. He was in constant communication with us during the open house process. He led us through the review of the offers received so that we were able to select the best one. He made the whole experience a great experience for us.

Rick Wright

We just closed on buying our first home with Bill and he was amazing to work with.

We met him at an open house, and hit it off instantly. He was always flexible working around our crazy schedules and had no issues booking house showings even with relatively short notice. He helped us put together the most competitive offers. When our offer didn't get accepted, he got us feedback as to why it was unsuccessful to help make our future offers more competitive. Bill has amazing attention to detail and was always upfront with us if he saw major issues in houses we were viewing. I felt he put our best interest above making a sale, and truly wanted to get us into the right house. I would highly recommend Bill Fankhauser to anyone who needs a realtor in the Columbus area.

Rose L.

Bill was super helpful through the entire process.

He answered questions, showed us what to look for in a property, and wasn’t afraid to jump right in- even in the scarier properties. We had an absolute fantastic experience with Bill. We couldn’t be happier with how our home buying experience went!

James Reasor-Robles

Bill was a pleasure to work with and very interactive and responsive towards ideas regarding our search parameters.

When we had questions about a property, he always followed through to provide us with answers from the seller agents. We very much appreciated his care due to some limited mobility on our part while viewing properties. Bill was professional and flexible. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Carol P Eastin

Bill was wonderful to work with through the process!

As demanding as these times are, Bill definitely stood up and above my expectations! Very informative and extremely knowledgeable! I was hesitant at the timing of things, but Bill was there for reassurance and I’m so happy we started the process when we did. Thank you so much for your knowledge and effort Bill! We will be back, but hopefully not too soon as we love the new house! Thanks again Bill!

For our first home-buying experience, Bill made it easy to understand each step of the way and made me feel confident in our purchase.

From our first meeting to review the steps of buying a home, to meeting with us at the final closing, we felt that Bill was extremely knowledgeable and worked quickly and efficiently to help us find the right place. His recommendations were greatly appreciated as well. We were able to choose the right lender and achieve a thorough inspection, which all ended up aiding us in the final closing amounts and negotiations. Additionally, Bill was consistent and prompt with his communications with us and the seller. I highly recommend Bill for anyone looking to purchase their new home!

Bill is the best.

I've already told and recommended your company to several people at work that was asking.

Stephanie L Ervin

Bill is more than professional and sincerely cares about his clients.

Bill took the time to listen to our concerns, immediately responses to our requests or comments, and was always willing to discuss the sale procedure with us, no matter how minor the details. Bill is the best realtor we have ever had and will continue to utilize his expertise in the future. Bill also knows the "ins and outs" of offers, counter-offers, and the best use of sales information for both the seller and the purchaser. I would recommend Bill for any transaction, large or small, residential or commercial. Another wonderful items I found extremely helpful was the fact he would respond within a very reasonable time, sometimes within minutes, to our questions, comments, or concerns. Thanks for your assistance Bill and we look forward to the next sale / purchase with you. Jim and Jamie Henry

"Text:Bill was absolutely amazing! 0 to 10, he was a 15. Very attentive, goes above and beyond to ensure a happy and smooth journey. Listened, and many times, even if a question wasn't in his scope, he went the extra step to outreach to get the requested information/clarification. Bill's professionalism is top-notch. I will definitely be recommending him to others!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with him. He truly made the experience much better than I believe it would have been without his dedication."

"As a new and new-ish homebuyer duo, it was absolutely awesome getting to work with Bill. He shares his knowledge and excitement for the housing market in a fun, knowledgeable way, and we became more aware buyers working with him. He was with us from start to finish and I really appreciated his calm, empowering leadership during contracting, negotiation, and all the way through to close. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of this purchase and felt fully confident in also asking him to help us sell our former property. We feel so lucky that we got to this awesome outcome and we attribute no small part of it to Bill!"

"Bill was great! He answered calls quickly and explained things well. His pleasant personality made dealing with him a pleasure. Bill was effective in making conference calls. My daughter worked with the two of us and discussions were helpful. There was a hang/up with the bank inspection but Bill worked with the other realtor to resolve them"

"We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Bill! As first-time homebuyers we came into the process with a million questions, but Bill answered every single one with patience, clarity, and respect. During our first home tour, Bill asked questions in each room about what felt good and what was questionable. I could tell he was intentionally listening and making notes. Within an hour of leaving he sent a previously purchased home that he felt was our style and asked if this property hit our key wants. It was perfect, and he used this as inspiration while sending us listings daily. I knew after day one that Bill was completely committed to finding us our dream home. Bill’s communication was truly above and beyond. We always felt heard, cared for, and completely supported. He responded so quickly and always encouraged fluid communication. When we sent listings he quickly arranged for us to get in as soon as we could, knowing the competitive nature. Once finding our home, Bill moved quickly and provided valuable advice on how to secure our offer. During inspection Bill showed up for every appointment and helped explain information that was being provided. He truly had an in depth understanding of structural work, duct work, electrical work, and overall maintenance of homes. Many times during inspection I turned to him for guidance and completely trusted his advice. Once inspections were all finished, Bill navigated the request to remedy process seamlessly, ensuring our interests and safety were protected every step of the way.If you want a Realtor who genuinely invests in your journey and treats you with the utmost respect, Bill is a perfect choice. We could not have asked for a better or more positive experience! Thank you Bill!"
