Derek Tye is a top notch realtor. He has in the business for 20 years plus. Derek is honest and the hardest working realtor I know. He is the only realtor my husband and I will ever work with. I highly recommend Derek. Call him and he will not disappoint. My husband and I give him 5/5 in all areas of expertise.

We loved our experience with Derek - He was so personable and friendly with us. Even in a really tight market, he stayed patient with us and scored us a perfect first home in an ideal neighborhood. He was quick to answer all of our homebuyer questions and even worked with the seller to negotiate some bonus closing renovations we didn't expect! We'll be working with him again in the future, for sure.

Good knowledge of the market, worked very hard to match our wish list, and helped us to close quickly on both transactions. I would use him again and recommend him for your consideration.

Jenny of The Tye Group is my Real Estate Agent. She was great throughout out the process of acquiring my first rental property. She assisted and guided me, was prompt in sending documents electronically and following up with reminders, communicating with the pesky lender. She was very informative. I will definitely need her in my next acquisition

I decided to make a personal move from out of state to Cincinnati. During my initial visit to the area, I reached out to the Tye Group in advance to arrange a meeting with them. My request was handled by Brandon and I couldn’t be more fortunate.

Brandon has in depth knowledge of the local real estate market which is invaluable when house hunting in a city you’re not familiar with. Based on our initial meeting and follow up conversations, he quickly gained an understanding of what I was looking for in a home. He was more than willing to show me homes via Face Time since I was remote which was extremely helpful to the buying process.

His positive, can-do attitude and enthusiasm made finding a house that met my needs very easy. He listened to my concerns and helped me to understand the dynamics of the Cincinnati area market. He quickly provided me with information and data to evaluate and compare properties under consideration against others so I could objectively review financial and market information to assist with the decision making process.

Brandon provided me with guidance and solid advice when it came time to submit an offer and his excellent negotiation skills played a major role in closing on a house that resulted in significant value for the price I paid.

I will be moving to Cincinnati in a few weeks and I have been extremely pleased with Brandon’s professionalism throughout the entire process. He is a top tier Realtor that is head and shoulders above others. When you team up with him as a Buyer or a Seller, you’re in very capable hands and working with one of the best!

Rob Sheil and his team did a great job of working with the seller to create a win-win sale. As an experienced real estate investor in his own right, he provided a lot of insight on how to make the deal work. Without his effort, don't think we could have made it to closing. Thanks Rob!

We had a great experience with our realtor Brandon Wesley with the Tye Group. He was very patient with us, looking at between 10 and 15 different properties over the course of 3 months. It took time but we finally found the house we wanted and we couldn't be happier. He did a great job negotiating and we feel we got the house for a good price. He did an even better job selling our old house, getting over asking price by quite a bit and much of it is thanks to his team getting it ready to sell properly. Highly Recommend using him.

My home buying experience was a rollercoaster, but working with Max Wetcher- a realtor at The Group-was what made it fun. He is very quick to respond to texts and emails, made sure I saw houses quickly, and always helped understand the ins-and -outs of the homes I was looking at.
Additionally, Max couldn't have been more supportive throughout my process. He was willing to drive to any part of the outskirts of town and even trudged through the muddy hills, creeks, and forested lots I was interested in. I always felt like he had my best interest, whether it be in the home search, the offer period, the inspections and the negotiations.
All in all, I don't think I could have had such a positive home buying experience with anyone other than Max. I would recommend him to everyone who needs realtor experience.

Great experience with Brandon Wesley as our agent. We purchased our home in October of 2014. He was extremely insightful and responsive. Eager to show us options and patient to work through all our wants. Very thoughtful follow-up after the sale, which confirmed his altruistic investment in building relationships instead of viewing you like a single transaction. Would highly recommend.

Also enjoyed speaking with Derek Tye on the phone a few times; seems like a very nice guy, as well.

I found this group through the Dave Ramsey program as an Endorsed Local Provider (ELP). They deserved his endorsement based on my experience and were very enjoyable to work with.

After failing to sell the house on my own for two months, I decided to employ Derek. Derek outlined a specific marketing plan as well as a specific list price that was not only based on comps, but was also targeted at specific homes in the area that had been listed for 30+ days. Derek and I walked through every inch of the house and came up with a specified list of small projects to help show the house as best as possible. This pre-planning and organized approach resulted in an offer at full asking price within 10 days. Derek and his whole office were very responsive to all of my questions and requests throughout the process. Jamey Howe

07/10/2014 - Sold a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $250K in Montgomery, OH. We had the recent encourgaging occasion of meeting and contracting with Derek Tye of The Tye Group to sell our home in Montgomery, Ohio. This area is allowing an ongoing transition from older 50's and 60's style homes to higher end contemporary styles. Having a 50's ranch, we were not sure where our home would fit in this modern market, or whether it would be an appropriate time to try and sell. It was at this time, during our consideration, we received an unsolicited call from Derek inquiring if we had an interest to sell. His knowledge of area market and an appraisal of our home indicated that the timing could be right to secure maximum dollar. After personally sitting down with us and addressing all of concerns and clearly answering all of our questions, Derk outlined his plan, supporting the plan with recent comparable sales and explaining how a current low inventory situation may be to our advantage, Within a week we had a contract and within 3 weeks had sold our home. Derek represents what is admirable in the successful small business owner. A strong work ethic, a dedication to his clients, complete satisfaction, exceptional knowledge of his field, and a willingness to make himself available at any time to assist his clients through the process. Derek obviously enjoys what he his doing and it is evident in his results.

I just remarried, and Derek helped my husband sell his home of 48 years with precious memories where he raised his family.

He instantly answered every email and phone call. He took out the stress, and made everything flow smoothly. He was a delight. We put the house on the market on a Tuesday night, and by Sunday night we had two offers. Derek told them to bring their best offer to the table, and we signed the contract for over-asking price.

03/06/2014 - Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $575K in Morrow, OH. Derek was very aware and prompt when responding to our needs. He was very thorough respecting details. He is well-connected professionally with contractors, attorneys, etc. He's not difficult to work with, and a tough negotiator. A true asset throughout the procedure Again Derek is AWESOME and will recommend him to everyone I know who is selling or buying a home! The Big Ern

01/22/2013 - Sold a home in 2013. We had our home on the market for a year with another real estate agent and company and had received no offers. Our house was beautifully renovated, however, our home was a challenge to sell due to 3 factors: 1) located on a busy road 2) Highway 275 located behind the homes across the street from us and 3) our neighbor's messy property. We were about to give up on selling our home, when I googled Top Real Estate Agents in Cincinnati and Derek's name popped up at the top of the list. Due to his raving customer reviews on Zillow (which personally means more to a customer than the amount of real estate awards received), I reached out to him regarding the sale of our home. The first time we met Derek we were very impressed with his knowledge and outstanding marketing plan. What made Derek stand out to us compared to other real estate agents we had interviewed, was his aggressive marketing plan which included ownership of websites in which he has the capability to monitor who is viewing our home online and may be showing some interest. Because, let's face it, in this day and age, it's all about internet marketing! He was very straight forward and walked us through some reasonable comps for other homes that were selling in our area and he based our selling price on pure facts and data. He also was very adjustable to all my emails/phone calls and when he wasn't available, his wonderful staff member, Jessi would get back to us. Due to Derek's terrific marketing plan and a modified price for our home, we had heavy foot traffic every week for showings and open houses. After about 50 days of Derek's hard work & focus, we received our 1st offer and sold our house! We never thought it would ever happen, but Derek & his team proved us wrong. If you're looking for a great real estate agent that is straight forward, responsive, intelligent and has a robust marketing plan, look no further! We highly recommend Derek & his team! Derek, we look forward to working with you on the other side of the table as buyers :).

05/18/2015 - Sold a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $125K in Cincinnati, OH. Derek recently helped to sell a rental estate I owned. It was a challenge but he was always upbeat and excited to help. Derek and his team was consistently quick to respond. I was never left wondering what was going on. In the end, he found the expenditure for the buyer when their lender fell through. He demonstrated that he has the knowledge and connections in the industry to get the job done. JC Blevins
