"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
Olde Towne East September Market Re-cap
October 2nd, 2007 categories: Olde Towne East
I can almost say that nothing happened last month.
But, remember, when we’re talking about Columbus Neighborhoods, we’re talking about relatively small geographic locations. Olde Towne East, The Short North, German Village, these are all just small areas a few square miles put together. For the purposes of the blog and for conveying Real Estate Information to you, my boundaries are pretty healthy in comparison to the real thing but in the end, when I tell you that only *8* homes sold in Olde Towne East last month, take in stride and remember that those 8 homes represent 5% of the number of active listings today.
Eight Properties sold last month in Olde Towne East. Three of them were Park Towers Condos though, Four of them were bank owned fixer-uppers on Clifton, Latta, Miami and Stoddart, all in need of mostly major rehab.
So, really, the only home that sold last month in Olde Towne East was that weird corner lot (37X35ft) one in the 900 block of Franklin with the white vinyl and red shutters. It sold for $61.50 sq ft.

I cut my teeth and lost my ass in my very first real estate purchase. I think the address was 813 Oakwood. Oakwood is right, but it was a huge corner home built in 1894 +- (i used to remember everything).
We converted it from 8 mega crappy studios to a duplex. Bought it for 18k and resold at a 5k loss overall for about 36k. A devestating blow to my life savings and my ego. That was the same year (1984+-) that i owned Hymies Hot Subs at 18 and High.
