Your experienced realtor and real estate attorney in Ohio

Michael helped us out with the sale of our old home and the purchase of a new one at the same time.

When the market was absolutely crazy, Michael was there to walk us through the whole process, even late at night and on weekends. He has a way of helping you feel secure and knowledgeable when you are stressed out about the process. He did such a great job for us that I have recommended him to our son for his first home purchase. Michael is amazing!

Michael was referred to us by a friend to assist in buying a property through a “sale by owner.”  He was responsive to our questions and provided us with good advice. He wrote the sales and rental agreements in clear and understandable language. As a result, the deal went through smoothly with both parties being very satisfied with the outcome.

I am a contractor and remodeler who flips houses, and I’ve been in the real estate business for more than 25 years. I’ve worked with Michael Samuels and ThinkSmart Realty for around 12 years, and have purchased and sold many houses over that time. This is the only real estate company I work with anymore. 

Michael is simply the smartest and most knowledgeable person I know in the business. He understands all aspects of the business—marketing, pricing, negotiating, remodeling, repairs, and law. 

Not only does he provide expert guidance in buying, negotiating, and selling, but we work together on deciding how to remodel the home to get the most profit. I know that without Michael, I would not have achieved the success I’ve enjoyed over the last dozen or so years.

We are in our 80s and moved from our large home into an apartment. Michael, first of all, is a great guy. 

He gave us a detailed analysis of the comparable sales in the neighborhood, did a wonderful job selling the house, and got us an excellent price. It was absolutely wonderful not to have to handle it ourselves.

If we had it all to do over again, there is no one else we would even consider.

I have sold several homes while acting in a fiduciary capacity and learned that when it is not your property, it is full of surprises. I liked to think that I had a network of people to help when faced with a red-tagged furnace or a neglected home, but then I met you.

After we entered into a listing agreement, there was not an issue you could not solve, either alone or with your network. Your law degree is a real asset.

I wish you great success, and you deserve a five-star rating!

Michael Samuels helped me buy my first home. Ten years later, my wife and I began looking for a home in a new neighborhood. The house search took nearly a year, and Michael was with us every step of the way.​

There are very few people I can think of with whom we could have worked so effectively and so enjoyably.
