"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
"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
The Contemporary Home
July 8th, 2008 categories: Real Estate News
You know them by their odd-sized and often tall windows, their lack of ornamentation, and their unusual mixtures of wall materials–stone, brick, and wood, for instance.
Contemporary homes may be sprinkled around Columbus in Worthington, Bexley, Central Eastmoor, Powell and Gahanna. Architects designed Contemporary-style homes (in the Modern family) between 1950 and 1970, and created two versions: the flat-roof and gabled types. The latter is often characterized by exposed beams. Both breeds tend to be one-story tall and were designed to incorporate the surrounding landscape into their overall look.
I hope you are enjoying this home style primer while I’m on vacation. Credit: Information for this post was derived from REALTOR® Magazine Online’s Architecture Guide.

I’m thoroughly enjoying this series of posts, Joe. I can’t wait until you get to some of the lesser known house types like Builder Special (aka The Homearama) and Late Crappy Suburban.
