October 27th, 2008 categories: Bexley, Clintonville, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, German Village, Grandview, Olde Towne East, Real Estate News, Short North

Looking for a Columbus Home by Zip Code – Don’t Bother
October 8th, 2008 categories: For Home Buyers, Grandview, Short North
Zip Codes are arbitrary. Certainly you can use a search by zip code feature to find homes for sale in an area you’re interested in but you’ll also get areas you aren’t interested in. When I go on and on about how all real estate is local, that means neighborhood by neighborhood too.

What Style of Homes can you Find for Sale in Columbus
July 1st, 2008 categories: About Me?, Bexley, Clintonville, German Village, Grandview, Real Estate News, Short North
As fascinated as I am in home styles, I’m no architect. When I describe the architecture of my listings or homes I am showing, I find it helps buyers appreciate their value.
