Every Person's Realtor

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but I really LOVE what I do for a living. I really enjoy working for myself, having a great company's smorgasboard of business tools at my disposal, and running the show, calling the shots and helping people buy and sell homes.


I think the job is harder than most people think. It requires an immense amount of time and savvy to be good. It's not a job someone can do part time and do well. I enjoy helping the first time home buyer find the perfect fixer upper for well under $100,000 one day and finding the perfect down-sizing option in the $400-500K range the next day, sometimes both in the same day. When you learn the market, you own it.


From A to Z, if you're Realtor knows and understand the market than you're in luck. I received a surprised reaction the other day from an acquaintance who had a cousin looking in the $150,000 range in Clintonville but thought that maybe I wouldn't be working in that price range. Heck yes I will. I want your business, I don't care who you are. It's essentially the same amount of work for me no matter the price range. My job is to understand the nuances of each market and bring to the table my knowledge about the home buying and home selling processes.

I don't work too much in Westerville or Dublin but I can take the time to look at, study, and gauge the market in those areas while understanding the places where value lies, what's overpriced and what upcoming road widening projects will effect which homes.


So many Realtors do such a half-ass job, only skimming the surface of what they could do for their clients. I'm a full time, full service Realtor and I take my job seriously. I've seen million dollar homes listed by a Realtor who didn't even bother to go take a picture, they just let the Columbus Board of Realtors take a shot from the street. Maybe they don't even own a digital camera, maybe they just want to put the listing in the Columbus MLS and let somebody else sell the house.

Don't give your business to those agents. Give it to me!
