"You scored a lot of points with us when you answered my specific questions straight up without any BS. I think other Realtors would have told us what they thought we wanted to hear." - Brad Rosser
"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 Midwest has been hard hit by the foreclosure crisis and certainly Columbus has not escaped its fair share of foreclosures. In fact, Cleveland and Cincinnati have been hit even harder.
During election season, it’s always fun to politicize real estate. This map, courtesy of hotpads, is a heat map of foreclosures by congressional district. The more foreclosures per capita in a district, the hotter red it is. No foreclosures in a district It’ll be cold and blue. Notice our 15th congressional district is pretty much red hot.
But wait. Just this morning I heard that the company everybody uses to track foreclosures, realtytrac.com, doesn’t include rural areas. Doesn’t include rural areas Do you mean to tell me that all those numbers we’ve been hearing over the last 18 months or so don’t even include rural areas It’s true, to the tune of not reporting on more than 900 rural counties.
That explains the foreclosure heat map of Ohio’s congressional districts even better, doesn’t it No wonder West Virginia is ice cold.
