Half of Columbus was in Florida Last Week!

You can tell we had a bleak dreary winter with all of the folks we saw along the way on our spring break! Everyone said the same thing: this was the worst winter ever!
There were of course the "I survived the Blizzard of '78" group on Facebook which was very telling until...we got a record amount of snow here in 2010! Our kids can now have bragging rights too!

Things seem to be going full speed ahead for a brisk spring market and everyone is out to find a home by the end of April to take advantage of the tax breaks. This has had an impact on everything including home furnishings, contracting, and appliances. This is all good news for every industry. We are welcoming it with open arms!

May we have the warm week that they are predicting and put this winter behind us for good!

Take care, Susan

Geo-thermal Heat is a "Hot Topic!"


The past few days have been hectic, with showings and listings, but we have been seeing homes with geo-thermal heat in them this week. It used to be that people would shy away from this as it seemed like it was something very complicated. Well, more people are seeing it as a viable heat source in Columbus Ohio. I would say listing one and showing two with geothermal heat sounds like a very good trend!

The photo above is of our listing in Dublin Ohio that is for sale and features a newer $25,000 geo thermal unit. This should enhance the sale of this home, considering the budgets are approximately $36 for gas and $133 for the electric! This home is open Sunday from 2-4pm with hostess Cheryl Rutan. Come visit if you get a chance! The address is 5940 Dublin Road. Click the link for more information on this lovely riverfront property with deep water access!

Take care, Susan

Just the fact that you could get $6500-8000 should help coax people out and into the market and it has worked in a wonderful way.

Hilliard Education Foundation Mardi Gras Fundraiser



We are proud to say we have sponsored them for several years. Always a fun time, and good for the Hilliard Schools! This helps with keeping the value of your home steady in Hilliard. When the community backs their school system, it is always very encouraging.

Hope to see you there! If anyone would like an extra ticket to this event, call me, and we will give you one as we have an extra one in our office.

Take care
