"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
All across the country and right here in Columbus, Ohio, renters are finding out the hard way that their Landlords are not paying their mortgages. Renters are paying their rent but the Landlords are not paying their mortgages. Can you imagine finding out that your home is about to be foreclosed on because your idiot Landlord has walked away from the property but kept the rent you’ve always paid on time
Granted, if you’re reading this, it probably isn’t happening to you. What recourse does a renter have in such a situation I’m not really sure, you’d have to ask a real estate attorney for a sound answer. Aside from monitoring the Franklin County Sheriff foreclosure auction site, you may never know that you’ll be put out of your rented home until the Sheriff knocks on your door.
This happened recently to a five family rowhouse in Merion Village. A fellow Realtor, and this isn’t the first time she had to do this, had the job of listing it for the bank and having to speak with each renter to tell them they had to look elsewhere for living accommodations. In cases like this, the bank often offers a cash-for-keys approach to any tenants who voluntarily vacate the premises in a reasonable and quick fashion—maybe one month’s rent or a little more.
It’s not a fun place to be for the Realtor. Bad-guy Middle Man going around evicting people for Landlords who have absconded with the rent rolls. It’s an ugly situation that shows how important it is to develop as solid a relationship as you can with your landlord.
