Strong Rebound Year for Shelby County and Emerson Wagner Realty Co., Inc. The housing market for Shelby County showed a strong recovery for most housing price levels in 2012. Interest rates remained at all time lows all year, while the availability of loans for our clients increased. “It is still important for buyers to be patient and get all the paperwork to your lenders in a timely manner”, said Tom Middleton, Broker of Emerson Wagner Realty. His report continues: The local housing market made great strides in working through the excess in supply in our market and prices actually started to increase through the year. Wagner Realty still remains the top real estate office for Shelby County, now for more than 40 years. We have the most agents, most sales and most important the highest customer satisfaction. Listing a house is only the start of our services. We pride ourselves on proper marketing, lots of advertising and the knowledge to represent our client to produce the outcome they expect. Our realtors know you have to spend money on advertising and marketing to sell a home and in a slow market that sometimes is hard to do. In 2012 we added a new marketing tool which has been a big success. Now when a prospective buyer drives by one of our listings, they will see a sign with a text # to call to get pictures, price and all the information on this home right on their cell phone. No waiting to call and instant answers for the prospective buyer. The listing realtor will get a text alerting them to the interested party and the agent will call the prospective buyer to follow up on the inquiry. The Ohio Association of Realtors President Club Award Winners for 2012 for Emerson Wagner Realty Co., Inc. included Tom Middleton ~ Award of Distinction for Sales in Excess of 2.5 Million, Nikki Loudenback ~ Award of Achievement for Sales in Excess of 1 Million, David Fleming ~ Award of Achievement for Sales in Excess of 1 Million. These Realtors have performed at the highest level for their industry. In this business it is easy to say you’re the best, but the proof is in the awards from the Ohio Association of Realtors. Emerson Wagner Realty welcomed 5 new agents in 2012. They include: Jim Weaver, Jaime & Travis Weldy, Becky Reese and Ryan Fleming. The company operates offices in Sidney, Troy, Russia & Urbana and has additional agents in Fort Loramie, Botkins, Jackson Center, Anna, Versailles and St. Marys. Our website www.EmersonWagnerRealty.com can lead buyers to properties for sale in Auglaize, Mercer, Shelby, Logan, Miami and Champaign Counties. By everyone’s estimate, 2013 will be a great year in the housing market. Emerson Wagner Realty will continue to work diligently to help our buying and selling clients meet their objectives.
