" We hired Kelly S. For the sale of my mother's house in Richmond Hrs. Within couple of days everything was set up and ready to go. We had multiple offers within first week and we chose the best one for us. Whole process was easy and hasle free. Option for E-signatures on documents came in handy as I travel out of state on weekly basis. She and her team worked non stop with title bureau and buyers to get the house transfered to new buyers as soon as possible. Would definitely recommend for future buys and sells "

" I would, and do, recommend Tony as a trusted, knowledgeable, and professional real estate agent. I've worked with Tony over many years on many properties and he has always delivered as promised. "

- Eric Benzle

" Tony has been our Agent/Broker for 3 transactions now and for good reason. Over the 20+ years we have been working with him, Tony has remained steadfast in his commitment to putting our interests above all else. Our latest transaction closed in Nov '24 (selling this time around) and Tony successfully navigated us through some unforeseen issues that were no fault of his own and got us TOP DOLLAR for our property. His command of the selling process and market knowledge were very evident on this latest transaction. Can't recommend Tony enough! "

- Dave B

" Amazing company....Outstanding customer service..... Fantastic to work with, Tony was super and met every one of our expectations. "

- John K (Small Business Owner)

" I worked with Tony in buying a home in the Lakewood area. As a first-time home buyer, Tony's knowledge was a huge help given how old most of the houses in Lakewood are. Tony knew exactly what to look out for. He was very patient with us and accommodated my schedule. Post-closing he has also been a huge help when it comes to recommending contractors to perform improvements on the home prior to our move-in. When and if the time comes, I look forward to working with him again in the future. "

- Theresa Maxwell

" Tony is an amazing reator. His knowledge and experience are extremely helpful. Selling and buying a house can be very stressful. Having someone like Tony helping you through the process, giving you information to use to make decisions you feel comfortable making when there are so many possible problems along the way. Listening and learning has helped my husband and I, and we have had our daughters go to Tony for assistance through the home buying process. We recommend him without reservation, and are grateful for his assistance and great service. "

- George K

" I've worked with Tony in selling a commercial property, as well as in buying an investment property. Having worked with Tony, as compared to other realtors, was eye opening. Having a good realtor as your representative makes a huge difference. As a sellers representative, Tony assembled a great listing, and ended up helping us in attaining what I feel is the best possible sale price. He helped us negotiate the challenges, and was always available and always answered the phone...business hours or not! As a buyers representative, Tony made the calls and did the research (in the background) to keep us as well-informed and educated as possible through a unique purchase process. His guidance in advising our offer was spot-on. He was helpful beyond the scope of his job, in offering his knowledge for building rehab (and reliable contractors), as well as managing tenant issues that were inherited with the purchase. We have sincerely appreciated working with Tony. He will always be our first call when we need a realtor. Thank you! "

- Nicole K

" Tony Apotsos is the best realtor I ever met. Working with Tony exceeded all of my expectations! My experience began with Tony sitting down with me and talking through the home buying process as well as the current market conditions in the area. To start, Tony spent hours talking about the pros/cons of the property while writing up an offer. Even after the offer was accepted, Tony still came forward and continued negotiating with the seller to further mark down the price that was already agreed on. Due to some business-related issues on the seller side, the closing process took almost two years. Despite the fact that it was a small transaction, Tony was always patient in explaining the situation to me while working hard with the title company to remediate the problems. He even made himself available and answering calls during family leaves when he had to take care of his love ones. Tony is truly a realtor who always had his client’s best interest at heart. He was honest, knowledgeable, and accessible. I couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone looking for some peace of mind when buying or selling a home! Tony is truly a role model in the whole real estate industry! "

Stefano approaches every search as if he were finding a home for his own family, and we felt incredibly fortunate to have him by our side throughout the entire process.

" Kelli did an amazing job with the sale of my condo. She has a relentless agent who does whatever it takes to appease her clients and also is extremely diplomatic with the opposite party. She went above and beyond several times and I wholeheartedly recommend her without any reservation. "

- Amar Mutnal

" Tony is a consummate professional. He helped us locate a condominium in a prestigious condominium building in Lakewood Ohio and was patient and had to work through many potential listings until we found the one we wanted. When we found the one we wanted, we knew there would be a lot of competition. He developed a strategy that enabled us to get the property the day we saw it. Even more impressive is the fact that he sold our home in the suburb of Rocky River in one day at 20% over asking. Now this is a really good community, but he took many steps to ensure that the competition on the property would be keen and was in regular contact with a number of potential buyers and their brokers. We thought about trying to sell this house on our own, but realized now we would’ve been wasting our time. again, 20% over asking. We’re still pinching ourselves. Cannot recommend him highly enough. "

" I highly recommend Tony Apotsos! He recently helped our family sell my mother-in-law’s house, and he did an absolutely outstanding job from start to finish. Not only did he sell the home incredibly quickly, but he handled every step of the process with professionalism, care, and genuine understanding. This sale was an emotional one for our family, and Tony recognized that from the beginning. He was patient, respectful, and supportive throughout—never rushing us, always listening, and making sure we felt comfortable with each decision. His ability to balance efficiency with empathy made all the difference. Thanks to his expertise, communication, and compassion, what could have been a difficult experience became smooth and manageable. We’re deeply grateful for his guidance and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond. "

" Tony is a guru when it comes to west side real estate. He is an expert at analyzing comparative sales and coming up with a perfect number that wins houses, but also save me money. He also has a mastery of geography and pays attention to tiny details. For my home, he noticed that the neighbor had radon remediation system and that the area is known to have high radon. I bought a radon inspection and the house indeed had 20 picocuries/Liter. I can claim Tony saved my life. "

" Kelly was amazing!! She went above and beyond to help my family get the house that we wanted! We were really lucky to find her!! "

- Jamie Cortes

" I was not planning on buying a home when I moved back to the Cleveland area last year. I was just "window shopping" when I found what I thought was the perfect townhome for me. I called Kelly and she had a showing set up the next day. I told her I still wasn't sure if I was buying so not to expect a sale. She was still more than willing to help. I decided to put in an offer, and with the market the way it was, I was not expecting for it to be chosen. However Kelly worked her magic and I got my dream townhome for list price! Kelly was always there for questions, handled more than she needed to make sure I was taken care of, and was cognizant of every detail and every need I had. Kelly is a rock star agent and you will not regret having you on her side for the buying of your dream home or sale of your current home! "

" I was very glad to have Tony as my realtor before, during, and after the home buying process. His knowledge of the west side and what to look for in these houses and neighborhoods was invaluable; he was great during the bidding process, ensuring that I got the house I wanted but without overpaying; and as things came up during the inspection and as we went to close, I was glad to have him on my side in the negotiations with the seller. I used his references for my mortgage broker and inspector, and could not have been more pleased. "

- Scott N

" To Whom, Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Tony Apotsos of NextHome Experts on the sale of two (2) properties on West 69th Street in the Gordon Square neighborhood of Cleveland’s Near West Side. Since this was a complicated deal, we required an agent of great knowledge in, and experience of, the sales process – as well as the procedure for approval by the City of Cleveland. Tony performed his due diligence, and delivered his advice and guidance with such knowledge and experience. He was fair and honest throughout a protracted period of time – and always represented my best interests. I recommend him and NextHome to anyone that might require the same kind of professionalism. "

" Kelley made our buying experience so painless and smooth. She was available in every step during the process. She was very kind to call and offer to show us the house after our offer was accepted by the seller. She asked if we want to take any measurements, gave us a landscaper suggestion, since we were knew to the area. Kelley went above and beyond to help us during this process. We can’t thank her enough for what she did. Thank you Kelley, our gratitude is genuine "
