"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

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 […]

Is the 2007 Columbus Real Estate Market Doomed?
June 19th, 2007 categories: For Home Buyers, Market Updates, Mortgage/Finance, Real Estate News
Or is it primed to make a comeback? Well, maybe somewhere in between lies the best guess. The first and last thing to always remember when we’re talking about real estate is that IT’S ALL LOCAL.
Who cares if the sky is falling across the country. So what if USA Today, WSJ and the nightly news talk doom […]

Buyers - How Many Home showings are Too Many?
May 21st, 2007 categories: For Home Buyers, Market Updates
Are 37 showings too many? How about 45? Is it unrealistic to think that buyers should find the right home after seeing a dozen homes?
