ZillowVERIFIEDI had an outstanding experience working with Lee Ritchie, of Ritchie Realty Group at RE/MAX Partners, to purchase my first home in the Powell area last year. As a first-time buyer referred by my financial advisor, I was navigating budget constraints and a tight timeline due to my apartment lease ending in Marysville. Lee made the entire process seamless, ensuring I closed and moved into my new condo off Sawmill Road North (conveniently near Target, downtown Powell, Dublin, Bridge Park, and my commute to work in Raymond) right on schedule in July 2024. Lee's deep knowledge of the Central Ohio marketaEUR"especially in Northwest Columbus, Dublin, and PowellaEUR"was invaluable. She provided detailed comps and insights that helped me make informed decisions without feeling rushed. Her professionalism shone through in every interaction: confident, responsive, and crystal-clear communication that made me feel like I had a true advocate on my side. She handled negotiations with the seller's team expertly, crafting an attractive offer that secured the best deal while keeping my best interests front and center. Throughout at least four showings, Lee was patient and effective, guiding me with her extensive experience to find a home I absolutely love. For someone inexperienced like me, her expertise turned what could have been overwhelming into an exciting journey. I'd rate her 10/10aEUR"5 stars all the wayaEUR"and highly recommend Lee to other first-time buyers or families looking for a top-tier Realtor in the Columbus area. If you're buying in Central Ohio, she's the one to call!
