Who We Are Keith and Howard started Round Table Realty in 2010 after a career in new construction sales. While interviewing with several brokerages in town, they both came away feeling like the industry had lost its heart. Getting the sale seemed more important than serving clients. So they took a leap of faith and started their own brokerage with one mission in mind - putting People Before Property. They call it heart-first realty.
And that just seems like the way it should be, doesn't it?

OurBuyers
90% of people in the market for a new home use the internet to search for the perfect place!
Round Table Realty Realtors can save you time by improving your internet searches so you aren't pouring over listing details that all begin to look the same.
What the internet can't do is tell you when a home smells musty, when an electrical panel needs to be replaced, whether the finishings were properly installed, and when evidence of a past water leak can be found under the guest bathroom sink. Our Realtors are not home inspectors, but they can give you visual clues as to the health of a home before you put in an offer.

OurBuyers Lending Partnerships In most cases, you should begin to secure financing before you even start home-shopping! Luckily, we've spent years building relationships with lenders who believe the client comes first. We can lead you in the right direction.
Insurance Partnerships Did you know home owners insurance alone doesn't cover flood damage? Did you know certain breeds of dogs aren't covered under a traditional policy, either? We work with the best of the best in the insurance world to ensure your home is covered long after we close.
We Hold Escrow People Before Property means holding your binder (the money you put down when your purchase offer is accepted). Should the sale fall through, the seller could fight to keep that money. Holding your escrow means you have the option to get that money back for free via the state. No lawyers.

OurSellers Pricing your home Our Realtors will help you price your home according to market analysis. We want your home to sell at the right price for you.
Marketing How do buyers find homes? Online! So where should your home be available when you list it? Online! We are committed to getting your home shown on the most popular home-shopping websites. And depending on your home's individual needs, we have a lot of other tricks up our sleeve to ensure the word is out that your home is on the market.
OurSellers Listing Videos Some homes require special attention. Maybe they're unique, they've been on the market with another agency, or the sellers can't show the home as often as they'd like. We have the capability to create a digital, 2-minute narrated walk-through of your home to give potential buyers a sneak peak without making a physical visit.
OurSellers Professional Photography Every Round Table Realty home listing is professionally photographed and uploaded to the three major online home-browsing websites. A beautiful picture truly can sell a home.
Home Staging The better your home looks, the faster it sells. We have access to incredible home stagers (at affordable prices, too!) who will make your home look elegant, simple, and allow potential buyers to see themselves in it. We can even provide you a digital home staging with computer generated pictures as a less expensive alternative.

Josh is very knowledgeable about the entire selling process. He's an amazing person and very easy to work with and talk to. He always explained everything to us when we had questions. We highly recommend Josh to everyone!
From our first contact with Josh, we did not feel the need to interview any other Realtors. He was familiar with our neighborhood and told us we would sell our house quickly. We did! It made the difference in getting our house sold despite being half way across the country. It is rare to see such professionalism these days.
Josh was the best realtor I could ask for from day one. I could always count on him for a quick response back, and he was patient with me during the several months searching for my home.
Josh did a great job in helping us sell our home. He was very knowledgeable and quick to respond with any questions we had. He made the process very easy. We would highly recommend.
