"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

Columbus Real Estate September Recap - Downtown Columbus Condos
October 11th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown, Market Updates
Downtown Columbus, unlike many suburbs, doesn’t have the seasonal school year ups and downs in buying. There isn’t as good a reason as there is in, say, Bexley for folks to buy their downtown Columbus condo and settle in just in time for the new school year.
Still, only FIVE homes were closed on in September […]

When does Your Downtown Columbus Condo Tax Abatement Begin?
October 11th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown

Is the Downtown Columbus Condo Market a Ticking Timebomb?
October 9th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown, Mortgage/Finance
Will the Downtown Columbus Condominium Market implode in the next 8–10 years? Ironically, I’m talking about tax abatements, one of Downtown Columbus’ Best Residential drawing cards which could also lead to a very messy real estate market as they begin to expire.
Think about this. A major attraction to purchasing a home downtown would be the 75 or […]

A South High Street Address that’s not in a Hotel
September 19th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown
The building here, at 342 South High, has six one bedroom condominiums in it that haven’t had a whole lot of fanfare so you may not be aware of them.
They don’t have a catchy name, like the CourtRoom Condos for instance, but they do have around 1400 square feet. That’s more than 69 currently active […]

The Tower of Power? North Bank Condos Nearly Half Sold
September 17th, 2007 categories: Downtown, Real Estate News
My best calculations, according to my conversations with Nationwide Realty and the Arena Living Team, reveal that the north Bank Tower is about 43% sold with 38 of the 88 units being spoken for. Because it’s pretty much finished on the outside, it’s not quite as easy to see how close the building is to being […]
