AGENT BIO/HISTORY


Being a successful entrepreneur has been “in the cards” for Roger Sexton since early childhood. Roger endured the hardships of growing up with a single parent who often worked at three jobs, operating in a survival mode. Many times a frantic search through a sofa or pants pockets to find loose change was necessary to ferret lunch money or run to the grocery to put a meal on the table. An aunt and uncle provided clothes. Growing up in a suburban setting, Roger recognized a degree of deprivation and the difficulties for him and his mother. He realized he should initiate action to prompt his absentee father to fulfill his responsibilities. At the age of 14 Roger wrote to the then-President George H.W. Bush explaining how he and his mother had been neglected. It paid to go to the top for the President contacted Health and Human Services and consequently his father was made to contribute child support. Roger also sought to contribute to the household, and once again it was “in the cards”: this time it was baseball trading cards. At age 13 Roger launched a profitable baseball card business in his basement plus collateral activities out of his school locker. His card business in 1990 resulted in a considerable amount of money which helped with household expenses and the cost for activities that he wanted to participate in. By high school his business acumen resulted in his being singled out as the only student in his class permitted to spend less time in classes and work part of the day in a major Cincinnati law firm to explore law as a career (He dealt himself another winning hand!) and to take those first steps to complete acquisition of his law degree.

Since high school Roger has worked full time and engaged in an on-going marathon of formal education and personal study to build a broad base of liberal arts education and business skills. A law degree continues on track for completion by age 35.

In his early 20’s Roger explored computers as an essential component to the business realm. Over a five year period he engineered a large computer project for law enforcement worth in excess of $30 million. His new-found expertise enabled him to coordinate all the various aspects to facilitate the bidding and execution of the contract. Finally he acknowledged his uncle’s success in real estate and initiated the steps to become a REALTOR®.

Shadowing the works of his uncle who is one of the founders of Star One and has been in the real estate business for over thirty years, Roger successfully completed the course work to get his real estate license. Real estate has come a long way since its relatively simple process with a one or two-page contract to its current labyrinth and sophisticated procedures demanding extensive knowledge and numerous experts to guard against loopholes and complications. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it requires an elite team to provide the expertise necessary to get the best results for a client. Roger has made it his practice to make himself a student and artist of his profession, but also to possess a willingness to bring together all the expert players to facilitate the best performance. Innovation, energy, and commitment make the phone ring to generate business. Assembling the best assures that his clients will receive the best! He has become a multi-million dollar producer.

Both earnings and peer recognition attest to Roger's great achievement in real estate. For example, Roger offers prospective clients one of the following guarantees: Easy Exit, 39 Day, or a Guaranteed Sale. With his Easy Exit Guarantee, clients can cancel their listing at anytime if they are ever unhappy with his services. With his 39 Day Guarantee, Roger promises to sell his clients’ home in 39 days or he will sell it for free. With his Guaranteed Sale Program, he assures clients that homes sell in a certain time frame or his company will buy the home. In the past 18 months, Roger has completed over a 100 real estate transactions, from taking and selling listings to assisting buyers in the purchase of their dream home. Furthermore, he is the #1 agent in his office [when he was with] Star One Realtors® and was chosen as the #1 Top Producing Agent in Ohio by Buyers and Sellers by HomeGain, a leading Real Estate Internet Service for buyers and sellers. Such programs assure a yearly salary ranging in the six-digit income level.

Community service is a responsibility each business has to enhance the quality of life for the citizenry. Roger has decided to be a sponsor for a public radio station programming which airs classical music, an increasingly important element to enrich the environment for a growing segment of the community.

Roger also volunteered to work with foreign exchange students to help them adjust to life in America. American isolationism often causes “outsiders” to be ignored. Roger's repulsion of exclusivity inspired him to reach out to groups of people eager to become contributing members of society. His friendly, caring demeanor is more than a business attribute; it is a quality that any individual appreciates and enjoys for a better lifestyle.

Even Roger's business transactions serve as a type of community service. The $30+ million law enforcement/computer bid served 44 municipalities in Southern Ohio saving police officers an average of 2.5 hours per day, streamlining technology, and through "COPSMART" creating greater protection and assurance for public safety.

SUCCESS STORIES

"... there is no other company in Greater Cincinnati, large or small, that can rival their expertise."

P&G



"When we started this process my realtor buddy back home said "make sure you find someone with a good team." We followed his advice, we researched and interviewed and made our best pick...and you guys came through big time. We didn't just get a good team, we got a championship team. I could go on and on about professionalism, responsiveness, feedback and all the patience you folks displayed but here is the bottom line.

Summer of 2003, interest rates at historical lows, 90 days on the market with another realtor, no offers... virtually no feedback.

Spring 2004, interest rates back at historical lows, less than three weeks on the market, great feedback that allowed us to make adjustments on the fly and the house sold.

The single biggest difference between these two experiences? The Roger Sexton Team ... thanks again, and we'd be happy to recommend you to anyone at anytime."

Sam & Barbara Wainscott, USAF Retired, Cincinnati, Ohio



"After a bad experience with another realtor, we were hesitant about working with anybody. We met with Roger and explained what we were looking for from a partner.

Roger followed through on his promise to keep us informed every step of the way. We got a contract offer on the house 1 day after officially listing with Roger... The ease in which Roger put this deal together is impressive."

Jeffrey Goodman, Hudson, Ohio



"Selling a house is simple with Roger! He found buyer and we signed a contract four days after the house was announced for sale. He also helped us to prepare the house and kept us very well informed during the process of showings and inspections. Everything went smoothly and on time, exactly the way we and Roger have planned. Thank you Roger!"

The Slivov Family, Cleveland, Ohio
