Central Ohio’s 2025 market is wide open—inventory up 21% YoY, buyers averaging 3.5% off list. Lock pre-approval today, then hunt value in fall pockets like Grove City (DOM stretching to 30+ regionally). Skip Zillow noise; use hyper-local comps to spot underpriced gems in high-demand suburbs. Negotiate everything—inspections, radon, closing credits, even EV upgrades. I’ve pulled $15K concessions for first-timers by stacking data and timing. Partner with an agent who lists and hunts off-market—I'll show you the whispers before MLS.

Don’t list and pray. In central Ohio’s 2.4-month supply, top dollar demands the 21-day “Coming Soon” edge: pro drone tours + geo-targeted ads hitting 40K+ views pre-launch. Price sharp via fresh CMA (no ego inflations). Stage subtle (highlight that new kitchen floor), then create white-hot demand with timed open house and teaser drops. Sellers averaged 96.5% of list last month—my plan pushes 100%+ with zero concessions. Clients net $20K+ more because we don’t wait for the phone; we make it ring.

Relocation pros and empty-nesters maxing Grove City equity; young families chasing top schools and fast commutes; investors flipping central Ohio ranches for 10-15% ROI. I’m the go-to for sellers who hate “average” (300-view MLS dumps)—busy execs, retirees, and builders wanting 21-day closes with pro media that pops. No tire-kickers; just decisive folks in Franklin County’s balanced market, from $300K starters to $800K legacies. If you’re data-driven and demand results, we’re aligned.

SOLD IN ONE DAY - The Quail Creek Gem at 2416 Quail Meadow Dr, Grove City. Listed at $399,900 and closed above asking despite a cooling fall market. The Marshall Plan delivered: 21-day pre-launch, pro drone tour, 50,000+ targeted ad views, 1,300+ clicks, and a 10-family open house that triggered multiple offers before sunset. Seller netted $18K over their break-even, zero concessions, keys swapped in 30 days. They said: "You made it feel like a bidding war in a buyer's market." Anticipated. In Demand. Sold.

In 2014, I was done trading hours for dollars. I wanted full control—my schedule, my brand, my results. Real estate hit me like a lightning bolt: a career where hustle meets creativity, and every deal is a blank canvas. I saw the same tired playbook everywhere—agents slapping a sign in the yard, posting a grainy video, and praying for a call. That’s not a strategy; that’s a coin flip. So I built The Marshall Plan from day one: • Design-driven marketing (pro photos, drone tours, ads that actually convert) • Data over ego (price sharp, sell fast, net more) • Client-first leverage (no fluff, just results) Fast-forward to 2025: homes selling in one day, 50K+ ad views, and clients walking away with tens of thousands extra. I didn’t just join real estate—I re-engineered the listing game.

No classroom gave me this—10+ years in the trenches did. • Hyper-focused MLS mastery: I dissect central Ohio data daily—comps, absorption rates, micro-trends—so your price is surgical, not hopeful. • Out-of-the-box critical thinking: While others copy-paste, I built The Marshall Plan—a custom 21-day pre-launch system that turns listings into events. • Elite digital marketing: Over 1 million targeted views on FB/IG (2024–2025), driving 50K+ impressions per listing. That’s not vanity stats—that’s 10-family open houses and multiple offers in 24 hours. I don’t just list homes. I engineer demand.
