A Team That Puts People Before Transactions
If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in Springfield, Dayton, or the surrounding areas, you've probably wondered: who can I actually trust? That's a fair question — and it's one we take seriously at The Haney Group. In his short intro video, Doug shares a little about who he is, what drives him, and why he built a team centered on putting clients first.
Real estate is personal. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, downsizing into your next chapter, or selling a property you've poured your heart into, the decisions are rarely just financial. They're emotional. They're life-changing. That's the kind of moment Doug and our team have dedicated themselves to showing up for — fully prepared, locally knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your outcome.
We aren't a big-box real estate franchise where you get handed off between agents and lost in a system. The Haney Group — Doug Haney, Lisa Ackerman, Brad Shuman, and Amanda Russell — is a tightly-knit team of professionals who collaborate on every transaction, so you always have the full depth of our experience working for you.
Who Is Doug Haney?
Doug Haney is the team lead of The Haney Group and a licensed REALTOR® serving clients across Clark County (Springfield), Montgomery County (Dayton), and the surrounding communities. He built this team on a simple but powerful belief: that every client deserves a real advocate — someone who will tell them the truth about a property, negotiate hard on their behalf, and be available when it matters most.
What sets Doug apart is his deep, ground-level knowledge of the local markets he serves. He doesn't just know the MLS statistics — he knows the neighborhoods, the school districts, the quirks of certain streets, and the factors that influence value in ways a national data report can never capture. When you work with Doug, you're working with someone who actually lives and works in your community.
That hyper-local expertise extends across the whole team. Together, we serve buyers and sellers from Springfield to Dayton, covering Clark, Montgomery, and surrounding counties — giving our clients a real edge whether they're buying in one market or selling in another.
💡 Haney Group Insight
Working with a local, team-based agent means you get dedicated support without the gaps. When one team member is with another client, another steps in — so nothing falls through the cracks on your transaction. That's the structural advantage of working with a cohesive team rather than a solo agent.
The Springfield & Dayton Markets Right Now
Understanding the local market is the foundation of every smart real estate decision. Both Springfield and Dayton continue to offer meaningful opportunities for buyers and sellers in 2026 — but the dynamics in each market require a nuanced read, not just a headline number.
Springfield remains one of the most affordable mid-size markets in Ohio, with homes typically selling within about five to six weeks and price-per-square-foot holding steady. Dayton has seen stronger year-over-year appreciation, with the YTD median sale price rising 8% according to Dayton Realtors — and with only 3.8 months of inventory, it remains a competitive seller's market in many price ranges. Knowing which neighborhoods and price points are moving fastest is exactly where local expertise matters most.
| Market | Median Sale Price | Avg. Days on Market | Market Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springfield, OH | ~$183,000 | ~39 days | Affordable; stable price/sqft |
| Dayton, OH | ~$257,500 (YTD median, up 8%) | ~28–43 days | Competitive; 3.8 mo. inventory |

💡 Haney Group Insight
One of the biggest mistakes buyers make right now is waiting for rates to drop before starting their search. Inventory is limited and competition is real — especially in Dayton's sub-$250K range. Getting pre-approved and working with a local agent who knows which properties are coming soon gives you a meaningful advantage. Start searching available homes here.
