Fantastic experience: Cara worked with us to sell our home recently. She was very friendly, organized and prompt in all the steps in the process. She returns calls, emails and texts quickly. We met with her for the first time in April and she guided us as we got the house ready for pictures and listing. In early June we listed our home and had a contract in two days for our asking price. We closed in July, and she helped care for some details beyond the settlement. We really enjoyed working with Cara and her group. They made the process as stress free as possible during a home sale. We would recommend her and her group to anyone who would be looking for a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Cara has helped me buy and/or sell 4 properties. Her service has always been excellent. Her communication, attention to detail, and care for both the buyer and seller are beyond compare. Cara's staff delivers the same exceptional service, making an outstanding team.

Fantastic experience: Cara is the best! She helped us sell our home within one week and purchase the next. She went above and beyond for our family. We wouldn’t use anyone but Cara in the future!

Aaron Lewis Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cara has been wonderful with me and my family. She helped me buy my current house, and I will definitely be asking for her help again when I sell my home soon and my mother's house also. I will be buying a new home soon after and I am very thankful for Cara's effort, kindness and professionalism. Cara's wisdom and knowledge of the real-estate world has my home buying and selling a very pleasant experience .

Fantastic experience: You could pick up the phone right now and contact any realty agency in Franklin County and within 10 minutes be set up with any number of random realtors. Maybe these realtors could represent you adequately, but if you're anything like me, my time and the time of my family is precious, my house, my home, where I raised my most prized possession, my children, is on the line, and making such an important decision was something I didn't want to do without first taking adequate counsel, I questioned friends, family, acquaintances, and scoured reviews, and within days knew Cara was the one for my family. It was with a heavy heart that we called Cara, who listed our home; our sanctuary, where we first heard the sweet cooing of our ever-growing infant children, watched, as they took their first steps, and as I hoisted them onto my shoulders, and faced the setting sun, expecting the day's victories and defeats to last forever as the tides of time, shifted, slipping from present into past, the cooing one day sprouted into carefree laughter, soon after the stamping of hastened feet filled our home, as my children now three and seven, explored every inch, every nook of our little kingdom. We knew one day our family would outgrow our little home, and with the promising change of every season, our children only grew bigger, bolder, and brighter. I knew the time was hastily approaching, our home would be etched only in our memory, and that day seemed to only quicken with each sunrise and subsequent sunset. Cara was there every step of the way, helping my family write the final difficult chapter of our little kingdom. Knowing she was right by our side, providing unwavering guidance, counseling, respect, and professionalism gave me immense comfort, and I wouldn't have any other realtor. I tell you this story because it may be similar to your own, you have no doubt written your own story, or maybe you're ready to write your own, and searching for someone to represent what you have built or what you're preparing to build, your home, your kingdom, and your most prized possessions, your family! Reader, I thank you for your time and for listening to my guarded story. Cara, you and your team are all stars!

Fantastic experience: Cara is an outstanding professional in her field. She was extremely attentive to my nephew (who is on the autism spectrum) over a two year period before he finally made the decision to sell his home. She was patient and kind with him, explaining every step to his understanding. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: I would give her 6 stars if I could!! My wife and I wouldn't go with anyone else to help us find our home. She is always on top of her game and has a great sense of what her clients' needs are. She'd rather you be 110% content with your home, even at the cost of a potential sale. No one else is going to have your back like she does.

Fantastic experience: I’m 58 years old and am purchasing my very first home on my own and Remax 1st Advantage has been AMAZING!!! Cara Sheaffer and her team have been more than professional and proficient throughout my entire home-buying experience. Mrs. Sheaffer gives her all in all and had guided me throughout entire process and made my experience a wonderful one. Had some minor bumps in the road with some lenders and she suggested a lender that made all the difference in the world! I would highly recommend them for your home buying or real estate purchases! Not only was I blessed with a beautiful home…I was blessed with a friend as well! Thank you Cara for everything!!!❤️

Fantastic experience: Cara is as good of a person as she is a real estate agent. She helped us sell our house and was extremely patient with us as we searched for a new one. She always responded to our phone calls. She took the time to get to know us and we now consider her a good friend. We recommended her to our daughter and son in law and she helped them find a place at a price they could afford. We have recommended people to Cara many times. If you work with Cara you will not be disappointed. She is a gem.

Fantastic experience: As first time home buyers, we had the pleasure of working with Morgan as our realtor and she was every bit of amazing! She was so good with keeping us educated and up to date throughout the entire process. From start to finish she was patient, very quick with her response times and she is willing to go above and beyond for her clients to get the deal closed! She recommended many helpful companies and her lenders were great! We definitely recommend her for any real estate needs! Thanks so much Morgan!

Fantastic experience: Choose The Best! My wife and I have been working with Cara for five plus years. We have purchased two homes and sold one through the Cara Sheaffer Group. When you are making life altering decisions why not choose the BEST! My personal experiences while working with this group have exceeded my expectations. Cara has listened to the needs of my family and has assisted us in achieving our goals. We have always experienced a level of professionalism in every situation. Cara is honest and can be trusted when discussing personal matters. My family has experienced a level of selflessness and commitment which simply is difficult to find. For example when asking a question I have always received an answer or response on the very same day. My family will always be grateful for the personal and professional service we have experienced. When making these huge financial decisions why wouldn't you want someone who is dependable, honest, and available to provide quality professional service.

Christine Bauer Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cara waited over three years for us to list our mom's house after my first meeting with her. She advised, and advised during the meantime, as we were remodeling almost the whole house and wanted to make it the best we could for a reasonable investment. Cara was amazing to work with, diligent, committed, and patient with us. I recommend her in a heartbeat as someone who knows her business, her community, and is committed to her clients.
