We were immensely grateful to be in the capable hands of Chestnut Hill Realty during our recent home sale. Craig and Brian Cantrall provided expert advice and support to us and displayed unbridled energy showing our unique home. They made us feel that they believed our home of many years was a treasure despite the fact that it was lacking in square footage as well as many amenities that many buyers seek. It was our privilege to work with them.

Linda is easily the most knowledgeable realtor in North East Ohio. In the past 2 years I’ve used her to buy 2 homes and sell one. Her experience saved us time and money on all of the deals and throughout each process she protected our interests! Also when it comes to buying a home in this market, Linda has access to plenty of incredible off market homes. I’m beyond grateful that we worked with Linda and now we consider her family!

Babs is quick to respond to questions and issues related to the buying and selling process. She is very knowledgeable and has recommended good vendors to help with repairs. She goes above and beyond expectations. Would highly recommend.

Linda Musarra at Chestnut Hill was our listing agent and did a phenomenal job selling our house! Her knowledge of local market conditions, her professionalism, commitment, honesty, resourcefulness, and good cheer went above and beyond our expectations. Working with Linda was even more critical once we had an offer for our house, and she smoothed the process all the way through closing. Having her on our side, with her negotiating skills, was key to a successful transaction. We’d work with her any time again!

I had worked on updating my house for about 18 months to get it ready to sell. The kitchen was totally redone including all new oak flooring. All the floors in the house were sanded and refinished. Also all the rooms were painted. My problem was that I had never sold a house before and I did not know what had to be done to make it appealing to potential buyers. Brian came over and went through the house with me. He explained to me what I had done properly. He also pointed out improvements that I could make on the exterior of the house and the garage to make it more appealing. These improvements were pretty easy and did not cost a lot in terms of time or money. Brian had a couple ready to look at the house as soon as I was ready. The couple looked at the house on a Friday and signed the papers to buy the house on Sunday. A "For Sale" sign never went up. After the sale Brian continued to help me with various details. He sent me a few items I forgot when I left town. He worked out some details with the Title Company and contacted the gas company when I continued to receive gas bills after the sale. He was always happy to help me with whatever problem I encountered. I believe Brian made selling my house really easy. Walt Hoppe

I appreciated that Craig Cantrell not only knew my goals for the sale of my property but was able to negotiate the sale based on his knowledge and understanding of Bratenahl. He did a good job matching the sale of the property with just the right buyer.

Babette Kestner was the best realtor agent that I could have ever asked for. I was a new homeowner so everything was new to me. She was very knowledgeable and informative. She walked me through every step of my home buying process, which made me feel comfortable all the time and made me see the process as something simple. I was constlantly having questions and she was always there to answer them 24/7 no matter the day and time. When we were house hunting, she knew the housing market pretty well. She was very diligent in finding my preferred home style and location. She was alway looking for the best option that fit my needs and advocating and supporting me during the negotiation, inspection and closing. Babette and her Chestnut Hill Realty team were very accommodating to my busy schedule. She made all this process smooth, enjoyable and fun. I will definitely contact her in the future!

I worked with Chestnut Hill Realty to sell my property a couple months ago. It was the first time I've sold a property and I had total confidence in my agent at CHR. Craig Cantrell walked me through every step and was there to answer every question. He was so helpful in letting me know what to expect and in keeping in touch throughout the process. He was forthright in every way. I really appreciated his experience and professionalism and will definitely use CHR in the future.

After a new and exciting job opportunity arose, my wife and I were quickly faced with the reality of packing up and moving cross country. With only 2 months to prepare, there was not a lot of time to search for a home. Thankfully, we found Craig! He was the absolute perfect person to have in that moment. His professionalism and expertise are unmatched! We came to Cleveland for 4 days on Labor Day weekend (2019) and Craig was available the entire time! We planned out our visit with Craig prior to our trip. After viewing about 15 homes, we found the perfect home for our family. Craig was completely dedicated to us finding what we wanted and needed. And I would be remiss if I didn't recognize his teammate Vera! She walked us through the entire process from offer accepted to escrow closed, and she didn't miss a beat! I highly recommend Chestnut Hill Realty for all home buying needs! You won't be disappointed!
