January 7th, 2012 categories: Columbus News, For Home Buyers, Real Estate News

Downtown Columbus Traffic Updates – Ramps/Exits Closing
October 4th, 2011 categories: About Me?, Columbus News, Downtown, German Village, Olde Towne East, Short North

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 [...]

Creating an image for Columbus. Who are we?
January 27th, 2011 categories: Columbus News, For Home Buyers
I find that when Buyers with no ties to the area are moving to Columbus from another state, they know very little about Central Ohio and their opinion of Columbus is rather blank and undeveloped.

Moving to Columbus, curious about Columbus neighborhoods or Columbus zip codes?
January 4th, 2011 categories: Columbus News, For Home Buyers, Market Updates, Real Estate News
Columbus real estate agents are often asked about the make up of different neighborhoods–socio-economic, racial, age, lifestyle, sexual orientations, etc. We’re not allowed to say a whole lot in response to these questions for fear of making a negative impression of one community at the expense of steering a Buyer to another.
That’s when I point Buyers [...]
