"I am active duty Air Force, so my husband and I had to buy our house from a distance. I traveled to Dayton for less than 24 hours and Cyndi showed me 18 houses that met our needs. I found a house we loved and Cyndi made it happen. She is awesome and our long distance buying experience was painless. "
Response: "Lori, I think you have the record for the longest time in one day spent with 1 client. It was a marathon, but it was a blast! I had so much fun with you.

"I bought a house from Don & Cyndi in
Nov. 2008. After several years of apartment living, I finally got my dream of home ownership! Don took me on several mini trips aroung town until I fell in love with my house. He is a Very patient man. Don translated all the legal stuff into words I could understand and was there for moral support at the closing. This is my frist house ! It still needs a few final touches, carpet, paint, etc. but Thank God, the sweat equity and pride are worth it. I can now have a dog! Don & Cyndi are good people and are just like members of the family. They are no- pressure sales people and are very informed on the latest real estate laws and industry rules. They left a Welcome Home basket and plant at my new house! A very caring touch, like a big hug from a friend. It made me feel appreciated. I HAVE recomended them to family and friends, who also used Don & Cyndi to purchase thier home as well. I am Very Happy in my new House! God Bless Don & Cyndi Shurts!"
Response: "Chris - You were a joy to work with. You should be very proud of your achievement of home ownership!"

"My daughter and I had a very positive experience with Don Shurts. ..." Read More
"My daughter and I had a very positive experience with Don Shurts. Don helped us find our new home and patiently walked through over 44 homes looking for the perfect one. He pointed out features we may have missed and gave very thorough explanations about the buying process. I highly recommend Don Shurts. He is thorough, returns messages in a timely manner and has great attention to detail. We were very impressed with him. Having been in the AF and moved every 3 years, I've dealt with many different realtors and he is by far the best realtor I have worked with in my 24 year house searching experience. He gets an A++ for his professionalism and expertise!"
Response: "We had fun showing you those houses too! Sorry your record was short lived! You both were a joy to get to know. " This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.

"Don and Cyndi go out of their way when helping others in buying or..." Read More
"Don and Cyndi go out of their way when helping others in buying or selling a home. As first time home buyers, my wife and I were pretty clueless when it came to all the ins-and-outs of appraisals, inspections, bids, contracts, and everything else that goes into purchasing real estate. Don walked us through every step of the process and made it very easy for us to understand what to expect and what was expected of us. After viewing more than 20 homes recommended to us by Don, we finally settled on one and he saw us through to the end of the purchase. I would highly recommend Don and Cyndi's services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Dayton area. "
Response: "Thanks Larry! You guys have a beautiful home...it seems like it was built just for you!" This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.

Excellent Experience - Millers (Jul 01, 2009)
Millers bought a home and would recommend using Donald & Cynthia for your home purchase. Comments:
"Don Shurts is an amazing realtor. He was always available to answer..." Read More
"Don Shurts is an amazing realtor. He was always available to answer all of our questions, big or small. We really wanted a realtor that wasn’t going to be pushy or try to up-sell us into a bigger home, and Don fit this requirement. When we toured different homes he gave his honest opinion, from a personal level, and not from a “business transaction” level. It was almost as if he was purchasing the house with us. He really made us feel like we were his only clients and his only priority. We have dealt with other realtors in the past and none of them come close to the same level of service that Don provided us. He found out we had a water leak after we purchased our home and Don called us to find out what was going on and wanted to make sure it was right, he didn’t just leave us hanging once the transaction was complete. We highly recommend him and feel he is an exceptional realtor."
Response: "You guys are amazing! I love what you have done to the house! Thanks!" This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.

What year did you become a real estate agent?
2004
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
6
What is the average home price in your market?
$140,000
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
When it comes to Dayton real estate there are several trends that impact home buyers and sellers. First, buyers are looking for homes that have been updated and well kept. This means that sellers have to remove the wallpaper and update the home if they want to sell for a good price. Second, homes that lack good maintenance and haven't been updated are sitting for months until a desperate home sellers accepts a low offer. New construction is a popular option in the Dayton area.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
PEOPLE! We love people. We enjoy working with wonderful people. It is so fun helping people find a place they can enjoy with their family and build memories that will last a life time! We enjoy helping people find their dream home. We understand that dream homes come in all sizes and price ranges!
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
Short sales! Although home buyers are looking for a great deal, homes that are subject to a bank approved short sale often take FOREVER to close. It is not uncommon for a bank to take 3-5 months to just give a buyer a Yes or No on their purchase offer. It is unbelievable and unacceptable how banks are dealing with short sales and foreclosures!
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
One of the most rewarding experiences I've had as a Realtor was finding a home for a widow with a very limited income. She had been in an apartment for many years since her husband died of a heart attach. She never thought she would ever have a home again. With the help of a great mortgage officer we were able to find her a beautiful home she could afford.
What is your best characteristic?
Our desire to listen to what a client needs and wants in their real estate transaction.
Who or what inspires you the most?
Jesus Christ inspires me because his life has been an example for billions of people. His character, integrity, and ministry inspire me to follow his example.
What is the best advice you ever received?
Do unto others as you would want to be done unto.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
In the mountains near the ocean!
