"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

You already know about the Bat Cave & the Fortress of Solitude, but do you know there is a program out there for Ohio’s so called heroes where, if you qualify, you can get some pretty nice rates?
Ohio Heroes work hard every day in critical jobs to make a difference in our lives. The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) offers a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage to full-time employees in the following professions:

- Paramedics
- Police Officers
- Teachers
Loans through the Ohio Heroes Program will be at a quarter percent below OHFA’s First-Time Homebuyer Program rates. The borrowers must meet OHFA’s standard mortgage guidelines, which provide low, competitive mortgage rates through conventional loans or FHA, VA and USDA-RD government loans.
5.50% for Ohio Heroes without down payment assistance
