Why I love Being in Real Estate...

I still wake up each morning with renewed hope that the market is going to bounce back soon. We have been very fortunate in that we are still selling at the rate that we did 2 years ago, but it isn't luck.

We have been cutting here and there, yes. I still believe in print media and it seems we are one of the last remaining agents who actually still believe that a newpaper or glossy magazine might prompt a phone call from someone to pop through a home we have listed. Our web presence is everywhere, but it can become diluted too easily.


If you want a team who is commited to trying every avenue to get a home sold, then let it be us. We still love the thrill of helping a person find that right home for their family. We still enjoy the crisp fall weather and showing homes to people who are from out of town and may not have enjoyed Ohio weather before. We love open houses and can tell you we have sold several off of them this year. We love coming into the office and seeing one another on a daily basis. We are positive that the market will turn around in Columbus for everyone. We have a wonderful city we believe to be one of the best places to call home.

Have a wonderful fall weekend and be safe trick or treating! Susan
