Zoning Issues and Potential Non-Conforming Problems in Columbus
October 14th, 2011 categories: About Me?, Downtown, For Home Buyers, Olde Towne East
If a Columbus area property has been grandfathered due to zoning issues, it may not be a big deal and it may seem good in some cases for the Buyer BUT Fannie/Freddie could certainly have a problem with this sort of situation.
Let’s say, for instance, that you’ve found the perfect property for your [...]

Downtown Columbus Traffic Updates – Ramps/Exits Closing
October 4th, 2011 categories: About Me?, Columbus News, Downtown, German Village, Olde Towne East, Short North
As part of the Columbus Crossroads project, (i.e.-The I70-71 split fix by the ODOT) several ramp closures are in effect.
The ramp from 5th Avenue to I-71 south is closed until November 2012; the detour is Leonard Avenue.
These next two I use all the time but don’t mind the slightly less convenient alternates. Really, Downtown Columbus [...]

Where have I been – Where am I going?
September 20th, 2011 categories: About Me?
It’s been a hectic summer for me professionally and the blog has suffered mightily because of my schedule.
I’ve helped many clients buy and sell Columbus Real Estate for sale this last summer, closed down Delicious Real Estate after a nearly three year run, and joined Re/Max Town Center as the Broker in Charge. Not to [...]

March 6th, 2011 categories: About Me?, For Home Buyers

Sarah just closed on her home and she has some great advice for would-be home owners. The bottom line, it’s up to you. In a perfect world, you get both the perfect house and it is in the perfect neighborhood and it’s perfectly placed [...]

Is the best home search ap for smart-phones’s getting even better?
July 15th, 2010 categories: About Me?, For Home Buyers
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a geek about mapping and home search solutions. The more intuitive the better. Cool factor is nice too. A while back, I wrote about Realtor.com’s new iphone ap and called it the best home search ap for smart phones on the market.
While following a Real Estate conference in [...]

Clintonville Charmer! and the Lack of Originality in Columbus MLS Remarks
March 1st, 2010 categories: About Me?, Clintonville, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers
You’d be amazed how often I read the remarks on a new listing, check out the history of the listing in the Columbus MLS, and find the EXACT same remarks the previous agent used. It’s uncanny. Sometimes the remarks are in the entirety, sometimes it’s most of the old remarks with a few fresh ones [...]

One of my listings was featured on the Today Show this morning

Click Here to See the Today Show Segment.
Sometimes, having a Realtor with a stellar web presence pays off. While it probably won’t create a sale, and despite the objections regarding the color of the dining room and the potential addition of an eat-in table in the kitchen, today’s airing of my listing at 1224 Fair [...]

Can Downtown Columbus Rebound from City Center’s Fall & will Buyers continue to Move Downtown?
October 21st, 2009 categories: About Me?, Downtown
I’ve always been a fan of City Center. Everything everyone has ever pointed out about its faults, chiefly that it should have opened up to the streets surrounding it, has been true but it held a special place in the downtown retail fabric. I’m a buy-local guy and not a fan of big box retailers, [...]

Sidewalks. Do they add value? Whose responsibility are sidewalks?
September 29th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Bexley, Clintonville, For Home Buyers, German Village, Olde Towne East, Short North
I’ve found that sidewalks tend to be a value added feature for buyers looking at Columbus Homes for sale. Most of my buyers buy homes inside of I-270 and most of my buyers prefer to have sidewalks for ease of travel when walking around the neighborhood, for a safe place to meet and greet neighbors, [...]
