"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan, March 08
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp, Feb 08
Driving in Columbus - the 106th Safest City to Drive In
June 15th, 2007 categories: Columbus News
I know you should never end a sentence with a preposition but when I worded it differently, it just didn’t sound right. Allstate Insurance just released their annual list of safest drivers in the United States. This year Columbus is down almost 10% from the National Average and ranks 106 in the country. Not pretty Columbus.
Drivers in Columbus can expect to be involved in an accident about once every 9.1 years. Not so bad, really, when you think about it but still well off the best city in the U.S., Cedar Rapids Iowa, where you can expect to collide about once every 15 years. Of course, they still drive horses and mules in Iowa, don’t they?
Dayton came in at number 15 and every other Ohio City also did better but Columbus is a better place to drive than Chicago, San Fancisco, New York, Detroit and Austin, among others. Washington D. C. was the worst.
Crashes Happen
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Traffic Facts, more crashes occur on Saturdays than any other day of the week. Sunday ranked second and Friday came in third. Additionally, most collisions happen between 3 and 6 p.m. From 6 to 9 p.m. ranked second and 9 p.m. to midnight finished third. The fewest crashes occur between midnight and 3 a.m.
