I believe in small family and their loyalty.

 Hi. I am Glenn Hess, and I started in the auction business in 1967 following in my father’s footsteps and working in the family business.   In 1977 I received my real estate salesman’s license and have successfully sold real estate at private treaty and at auction as well. I have been in the Ohio Board of Realtors Presidents Club in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 , 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011,2012,2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021   for selling $1 million & in 2014  received an award for selling over $2.5 million  dollars of real estate.  I have broad experience in all facets of the auction business. 

I was recently inducted into the Ohio Auctioneers Association Hall of Fame. What a great honor to be able to do the job you love for more than 50 years and be recognized by your peers in the association you’re in. I am proud to have followed in my father Dannie’s footsteps, as he received the award in 2008. This is a rare event to get inducted and for a father son combo to have gotten in makes it even more special.

Hi, my name is Mary Haag. I moved to Hillsboro in 1995. At that time, I was a mortgage lender where I spent 13+ years helping people with their financing needs. I had a particular focus on helping first time home buyers and working with government loans and grants. In 2008 I made a career move and became a licensed real estate agent. I still have the passion for helping buyers and sellers start new chapters in their lives in all of Southern Ohio.

I live in Leesburg with my husband Josh and our 4 children, Logan, Landen, Jadi, and Jackson. And I am a member of Marshall Church of Christ.

I have bought and sold real estate for several years, giving me the knowledge and expertise necessary to provide my clients with a positive real estate experience. My ties and knowledge of Highland County and the surrounding areas have given me the background to better serve prospective buyers and sellers. I am committed to my clients, and I work hard to make their real estate experience memorable and enjoyable.

My name is Larry Gray, and I am a lifelong resident of Highland County. I grew up in the small town of Lynchburg, and now reside in Hillsboro. My wife Nancy and I have 5 children, 7 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. We attend church at Youngsville Pentecostal Holiness Church in Seaman, Ohio.

I am new to the real estate sales field; however, I have been involved in the buying, selling, renovating, and new construction of real estate for several years through past and present employment. I am the current Executive Director of the Fayette/Highland County Metropolitan Housing Authority. I had previously worked at ABX Air for over 31 years, with most of that time spent in management of the ground and flight departments. I am a 17-year veteran of the Ohio Army National Guard.

I look forward to helping others find a new home for the first time or upgrade to a larger home. My current and previous experience will help me assist others with selling, buying, or purchasing a site for that new construction home.

My husband, Phil, and I reside a little south of Hillsboro. I have 3 children and 5 amazing grandchildren. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, taking road trips, and exploring. My other hobbies include reading, baking/cooking, and writing. But more than anything, I love spending time with my grandkids.

I have had an interest in real estate for as long as I can remember, and I finally decided to make the leap and follow my dreams. While I may be new to the field, I believe my experience in customer service and the medical field have given me the tools that I need to succeed. I have a passion for helping others, and I look forward to helping you find your dream home or sell your current one.

“I absolutely love what I do,” Jenkins said. “With four years as a Realtor and 30 years as an accountant, I recognize and value the trust that my clients place in me, and I strive to always exceed expectations.

“The real estate business is a dynamic and ever-evolving industry, so whether you are buying or selling, my job is to create the best, stress-free experience for you because I am not just your Realtor, but your business partner – and it’s why I love this famous quote by Mark Twain, ‘Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.'”
