"I can simply say that my Clients make my job worth doing well!”

"Art was very knowledgable and helpful during our home buying process. I would recommend Art Hotes as an agent." -- Amber & Brad Perkins, Buyer of 5482 Wagon Trail in Medina

"Art exemplified professionalism during every aspect in the purchase of our new home. He advised me on finding the right lender, how to best negotiate the sale and answered my many questions, quickly and honestly.  It was a pleasure working with Art in the purchase of our home, which in past experiences with other realtors, was much more stressful. I'd recommend Art, highly, to any potential buyer or seller." -- Jennifer Janik, Buyer of 4600 Ledgewood Drive in Medina

"No doubt about it, Art Hotes is the most dedicated realtor in Medina County. He had the patience of a Saint when dealing with our needs, schedule and time frame. Very professional!!" -- Tyson & Beth Fabish, Seller of 905 Southport Drive in Medina

"Art started out as my agent and ended up as a friend. Art is a remarkedly personal guy who really cares and makes the home buying process a pleasure instead of a chore." -- Rick Maley, Buyer of 905 Southport Drive in Medina

"Art gives it to you straight, he doesn't misdirect you. Which makes him a valuable partner in such a confusing industry." -- Ryan B., First Time Buyer in Brunswick

"When we went on the market, there was nothing good about it. Declining neighborhood home sales and declining home prices were a huge reality. Our home was on the market for about a year and a half before we had it listed with Art Hotes. The other agents we used before we found Art were either part-time and could only "sell" our home when their schedule allowed it or were entirely too busy with all their other listings to worry about our home. Art was a refreshing, much needed change for our family. Not only did Art Hotes successfully sell our home, he was committed to our family and to our best interests. If we had questions, he honestly answered them. If we had concerns, he honestly helped us through. When we were ready to look at homes to buy, he immediately scheduled showings and gave us an honest point of view of his market knowledge pertaining to the homes we were seeing. When we found the home that was right for us, he met us there a handful of times so we could show it to our family members. By the end of both transactions, Art was more than just a Real Estate Agent to us. He is someone we'd call a friend. Selling and/or Buying a home can be a very emotional event. Art understood that and treated us with the utmost respect and professionalism. My family and I would most definitely recommend Art Hotes to anyone selling or buying a house! If you're looking for an extremely professional and sincerely kind Agent with exceptional knowledge of the market around them ~ Art's your guy!" -- Ed & Kris Gambaccini, Seller of 319 Harcourt Drive in Akron

"Art was extremely professional, helpful and irreplacable.  We came from out of state and had a limited amount of time to go house hunting and no knowledge of how to even start looking for homes in the area.  Art made that experience easy and painless.  He sent us potential homes that fit what we were looking for before our visit to screen.  He planned a tour of the homes we selected and took us through them for an entire Saturday.  He fit our schedule and adapted his tour based on what we liked and didn't like.  He was friendly and outgoing and very personable!  It was an excellent fit.  We highly recommend Art to anyone looking to buy a home in the area!  He will help you through the process and make buying a home simple - even when you are not in the state!" -- Glenn & Virginia Duyvestyn, Buyer of 7245 Hunters Glen Lane in Seville

"We found Art to be very professional and dedicated to selling our home.  He took the extra time to explain in detail what he could do, and always kept our wishes first.  Art has a unique way of listing homes, and working with his customers (Friends) and we really appreciated this style.  Art was personally involved in every event that took place.  We never once had to request any feedback about how things were going, as Art was always readily prepared and contacted us first. Art Hotes will always have our business, and would certainly recommend his service to anyone." -- Terry & Laura Strong, Seller of 4379 Lexington Ridge in Medina

"Art has his business down to an"Art". Real Estate is a very stressful process and Art makes it painless.  Great job Art! Thank you for handling this transaction from a distance.

"Fantastic!  Art was always available to answer our questions and he was able to guide us through the whole process.  He listened to our questions and concerns and was able to find a house that was perfect for us and got it at a great price.  This was our first house and we had many 'first-time jitters'.  Art was a calming influence and guided us through the entire process.  Art never tried to push us to buy more than we could afford and always focused on what was best for us!  I would recomment working with Art to anyone who is buying a house.  His service and expertise was just what we needed, and he worked with us even after our deal closed and never missed even the smallest detail!  Great job Art!" -- Josh & Kim Grusendorf, Buyer of 1103 Southport Drive in Medina

"Buying a house can be so frustrating!  Art was very helpful and patient.  He showed my husband and I countless houses before we found the right one.  He even showed us some houses more than once.  Art was available for questions and suggestions whenever we had them.  He's very knowledgable about Real Estate!  Thank you Art, we love our new home." -- Stacey & Brian Price, Buyer of 2014 Byron in Brunswick

"One thing that's great about Art is that he's tech-savvy.  He can send you text messages, e-mails, scan documents and other things that make it easier and faster to get things done. He is also good at helping you think through what you like and may not like about each house so that you're able to evaluate your options.  Plus, Art sold our house in three days! Can't beat that!" -- Melissa & Tom Henderson, Buyer of 620 Bradley Road in Bay Village

"Our experience working with Art was wonderful- even in this rough housing market.  The thing we appreciated the most was Art's availability.  Any time we called or sent an email, we always received a response- even if he had to get back later with an answer. Art went above and beyond in helping us sell our house.  Especially towards the end of the sale, he helped out with matters we brought to his attention that normally the buyer’s agent would handle." -- Shawn & Lee Hunt, Seller of 1015 Ty Drive in Medina

"Art is both professional and personable! Those qualities made trying to buy a house much more enjoyable and less painful.
