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 dog. 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.

Testimonials

“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.
