MEET THE TEAM

Molly Blenk

I’m a native of Buffalo, NY (go Bills AND Bengals!) and made my way to the Cincinnati area via Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Northern Kentucky. My husband Erick and I purchased our first house in Pleasant Ridge in 2000. We were drawn to PR for its walkability, diversity of people and houses, and central location.

My background is in Social Work and Community Organizing, always with an interest in helping others through strengths-based approaches. I began in nonprofit organizations and honed my rapport building and collaboration skills. I then worked as a professor of Sociology at NKU, where I built a foundation in teaching that’s helped form the backbone of my business.

I now live in Amberley Village with Erick, our three kids, and our amazing dogs. I love supporting my community through sponsorships, involvement in the Pleasant Ridge Business Association and the Tour of Homes, and by frequenting small businesses throughout the city!

Erin Fay

I’ve been a full time realtor since 2011, after spending more than 15 years in the restaurant industry. I got excited about real estate after renovating and selling a handful of old homes in the Cincinnati area and decided to make it a career!

I’m a true perfectionist— trustworthy and honest in all that I do, because I can't be any other way. I graduated from Ohio University with a bachelors in Education and I use that “teacher” personality to help my clients. I value education so that buyers and sellers fully understand the process and I want to sell my clients not just any home but the right home.

I’m a born and raised Cincinnatian. I grew up in Westwood and am a graduate of Walnut Hills High School. I live in Pleasant Ridge with my super cool son, Eli. I’m an avid volunteer in the neighborhood and the sustainability community, most recently serving on the board for the Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub, the Pleasant Ridge Development Corporation, and the Pleasant Ridge Business Association.

Erick Blenk

My first experience with real estate came as a child when my family was transferred from New Jersey to western New York as part of a corporate relocation. This experience helped me understand the type of change families go through when they move and how important it is to involve the entire family in the process.

After growing up in southern New Jersey and western New York, I made my way to Ohio to attend Miami University. I have lived and worked in several communities across the region, including northern Kentucky over the past 30 years and consider Cincinnati home.

My professional experience includes economic development, financial services, operations management, and technology project management. This experience built a strong foundation for helping buyers and sellers navigate some of the largest financial decisions they will make.

BRAD KREMER

My journey in real estate is deeply rooted in my values as a father and husband. After moving from Columbus four years ago with my wife Renee and our three boys— Remington, Banks, and Lawson— I understand firsthand the importance of finding a home that fits your family’s needs. My “family over everything” approach ensures my clients’ best interests are always at the forefront.

In tandem with real estate, I am also the founder of CRAFTD., a content media company that specializes in helping entrepreneurs and brands elevate their presence on social media. This experience gives me unique edge in real estate: I know how to tell a compelling story and how to market homes in a way that captures attention and drives results.

Having lived in Cincinnati for four years now, I love helping relocation clients settle into this dynamic city. My goal is to not only help clients buy or sell homes but also to guide them through the process of building a life they love in a community they’ll thrive in.

ABBY Blenk

I’ve been adjacent to the real estate world since Molly got her license when I was around 7, which means I spent a decent chunk of my childhood tagging along to showings. I love getting to know the story of a house and appreciating its architectural quirks. With my degree in Digital Storytelling, this means I totally take advantage of my job as an excuse to pore over photos of cool homes as we prep to market each listing.

I may not have my license, but I know more than my fair share of the real estate jargon and I love to help from behind the scenes with social media, marketing design, and the occasional tech issue.

I’m born and raised in Cincinnati, but frequently do my work with The Blenk Team remotely. When I’m not focused on team business, I love to rock climb and can often be found building my own architectural masterpieces in the Sims.

Testimonials

“Molly and team helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a very competitive market. They are very knowledgeable especially of our neighborhood, which was a huge help. They were responsive and flexible in a world where you have to move quickly. They were also a joy to be around along the way, making what could be a stressful experience fun. We look forward to using them again to sell our house and recommend them to others!”

— Ryan M.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Molly and her entire team. Not only did we have the best realtor in Cincinnati, we have a lifelong friend as well! She was responsive, knowledgeable, accessible whenever we needed her - which is tough to do in her busy line of work! I'm so glad we found our forever home, but I am a little sad that I don't get to talk to her every day! :-)”

— Beth S.

“We worked with Erin Fay with a the Blenk Team on our corporate relocation to the Cincinnati area. We had never been to area before or lived out East / Midwest. Erin was amazing to work with. She quickly understood who we were snd what was important to us and our family in a home and in a community. She made a hard situation one that was so much more pleasant. I like to do business with people that I feel I could be friends with and Erin is someone that is so friendly and accepting, but more importantly is a hustler. Would recommend Erin and her team 110%.”

— David K.

“Could not have asked for a better experience buying and selling a home. Molly and Erin listened to what we were hoping for and went above and beyond to make things happen! The whole team was great to work with, supportive, and responsive. I would absolutely recommend The Blenk Team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Cincinnati area.”

— Melanie C.

“10/10 recommend working with Erin! She helped us write a strong same day-offer and kept us calm during the emotional and overwhelming home buying process. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly incredibly caring and honest. We are now getting ready to move into a house that we absolutely LOVE and it’s all thanks to her! She was also flexible and unfazed by helping us navigate this all from out of town! You’re in good hands with the Blenk team.”

— Sarah H.

“We had an incredible experience with the Blenk Team. Erin is an incredible realtor and knows so much about the industry. As first-time homebuyers, there was so much we didn't know, but Erin walked us through everything patiently and helped us to make informed decisions. She followed up after we closed to check in on how we're doing, which was truly appreciated. I would work with Erin and the Blenk Team again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them!”

— Joe H.

“Molly was absolutely stellar to work with. She went above and beyond in every way to be sure that my needs as a buyer were met. Molly was really helpful in talking through negotiations. Molly thought of things that I didn't think of and shared them with me even though it meant more work for her. She was so much fun to work with and made a stressful process a true joy.”

— Debbie M.

“We really appreciated Erin's flexibility and patience with two inexperienced out-of-state buyers. She was able to give good advice in the negotiation process, which landed us with a house we love at a good price. Her insight into the neighborhoods of CIncinnati was especially helpful since we are new to the area. We couldn't be happier with how everything worked out, which is very much a result of her hard work. We will absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

— Clare T.

“We will recommend Erick Blenk. He was professional, knowledgeable, worked to understand our needs, and did a great job representing us with the sellers. We were new to buying rental properties, and he was extremely helpful to us -- going well beyond the "transaction" of the purchase to explain steps/considerations, and provide additional information on local resources. He worked really hard to find us the right property.”

— Dana A.

“We switched to Erin from another realtor and it was the right choice. Erin was personal, responsive, and gave tremendous counsel. I can't imagine working with anyone else in the Cincinnati area ever again.”

— Jay S.

“Erick was extremely thorough and patient. His ability to negotiate with the seller was pivotal. Highly recommend him!”

— Ashley H.

“Erin Fay and the Blenk team did a great job helping us find a place that checked all of our boxes in a very short time. Erin took the time at the beginning to understand what we wanted and made us feel good about the process from start to finish.”

— Chelsea R.

“Erick Blenk was very personable, responsive in scheduling properties quickly to see. Accommodating schedule. Patient. I appreciated his sense of humor.”

— Trena G.

“We could not have been happier with Molly and team. They were able to make a difficult and emotional process fun and memorable in so many ways. We are grateful for the team guiding us through the process finding a home to build new memories and pushing us to work hard to get the most for the home we were leaving. We would not be where we are today - sold house and spacious new home to make our own - without Molly!! Thank you for guiding us, helping us and making it fun... I can't wait to buy our next house so we can do it all over again!”

— Colleen P.

“Erick made the overall process of buying a house a enjoyable experience. We appreciated his knowledge, patience and fun as guided us through the steps without being pushy. Erick Blenk was great to work with!”

— Markus and Emily W.

“Molly is absolutely amazing. We will recommend her to anyone and everyone. She dealt with our anxieties so well and maintained such a positive perspective. In this market, she was able to swing us a contingent offer. I am pretty sure she can turn water into wine as well. She is a hard worker and so responsive. She even helped get our dog out of the house for a showing when we couldn't return home in time. We couldn't be more satisfied.”

— Danny & Margo B.

“My wife and I are truly grateful to Erin for all her help over the past few months in helping us find our dream home! She was incredibly patient and professional throughout the process and was extremely responsive to our needs. We never had to worry about not being able to view a property when we wanted to because we knew she would find a way to make it happen.

She and her team continued to be a fantastic resource throughout the buying process, including connecting us with our mortgage broker who helped us get the best rate possible and resolved unexpected last-minute issues, and helped negotiate for additional money back at closing. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future to buy/sell a place and highly recommend her for anyone looking to do the same.”

“Molly Blenk is a top notch real estate agent - I had the pleasure of working with her to sell my home. During this COVID disaster, she handled the sale of my house with such respect for me by providing the prospective buyers with hand sanitizer and gloves and asking that they keep masks on during their viewing. I cannot say enough good things about Molly. She is professional, knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate, and very patient (I had lots of questions!). She was available at all times. I requested that no For Sale sign be displayed in my yard, yet she sold my house in one day. Yes, one day. Her skills are amazing. From the start of our process in selling my home until I turned over the keys to the new owner, Molly handled

everything efficiently. I loved working with Molly. So to Molly Blenk and to Comey & Shepherd, I thank you.”

— Katherine S.

“Erick is a class act. He was incredibly helpful in the home buying process, but also treated me like a friend, rather than someone he was representing. He was responsible, responsive, respectful, and an overall amazing person to work with. Whether you are buying your first house, or your 5th house, Erick is my recommendation. I will never work with another agent again!”

— Brandon S.

“Working with Molly and Erick was a great experience -- enthusiasm and data to inform our decision. They have lots of contacts for inspection and the various trades we will need to update our historic home -- super helpful when moving here from out of state.”

— Beth K.

“The Blenk Team, especially Molly Blenk went above and beyond expectations in helping me to not only sell but empty my sister's estate (which was very emotional). She recommended a very reputable organization dedicated to being respectful, careful and efficient to assist in removing everything from the house and finding the right venue for all items. She helped me strategize about storing and then selling vehicles. There was always an immediate response whenever I had a question or need. Caring for clients and needs is top priority, I give her my highest recommendation.”

— Joan F.
