ZillowVERIFIEDNathan had to endure me for a few months as I bounced around looking at homes all around Columbus, pretty much everywhere above 670, but always was patient and thoughtful in helping me first decide where I wanted to settle in. I'm a first time homebuyer so he was very helpful and knowledgeable on the whole process. He was able to get me timely updates on houses I liked and new listings so that I was able to be up to date on the latest homes available. He made the whole process fun and easy!

ZillowVERIFIED If you need a property management company in the Columbus, OH area look for the Nathan Filia (Golden Gate Real Estate) in Lewis Center, OH. This is a five star business aEUR" always returning the calls, always addressing any issues with the property or the tenants. Always paying on time. At the end of the lease we sold our property with Nathan Filia. Fair market assessment, clear negotiations process, took care of some repairs and helped to close the deal in less than a month.It was a pleasure to work with and do business with Nathan Filia.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I did a lot of research and came up with our requirements on what we are looking for in our new home. We reached out to Nathan a year back and told our requirements. From the first visit he was engaged and informative about the areas we had interest in. After only two visits Nathan understood what we were looking for and found us the house of our dreams. We closed the home yesterday and looking forward towards the holiday season in our new home. Nathan was professional, and his follow up was second to none. He took great care to keep us informed and ensured we got the deal done. Thank you Nathan for all your hard work.

Review for Member: Nathan Filia
ZillowVERIFIED We met Nathan by chance when we were originally interested in purchasing a new home. He met with us the same day we showed interest in the home we were looking at and spent an ample amount of time talking with us about the home and the process. We ultimately decided not to go with that home but we were so impressed with Nathan and his background with real estate, we used his expertise to sell our condo. He is super familiar with the area we lived in and made the sale super easy for us. Nathan represented us in the most professional and respectable manner and always had our best interest at the forefront. The process was seamless for us, we knew exactly what was needed from us every step of the way, Nathan communicated regularly and represented us as our agent perfectly. We have never had a better experience with any agent. We will refer Nathan to all our friends and family looking to buy or sell a home anytime now or in the future. My husband and I both very highly recommend Nathan Filia for any real estate transaction.

ZillowVERIFIED As first time home buyers we really had no idea what this whole process looked like. It was very nice to have Nathan help us along the way from step A-Z. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed in a very timely manner. Nathan made the whole process very easy and kept us up to date with next steps and what to do. I would highly recommend Nathan and will certainly use him in the future for any other home purchasing/selling!

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan was great to work with and great at keeping in touch through the whole process of buying and selling a home or in my case multiple homes. We had two condos to sell when we found the home we wanted to buy, and he made selling of our condos very easy and the purchase of our new house just as easy. He made the 3 property transactions very hassle-free and was always accessible for any questions we had along the way. He even referred me to a lender that beat my credit unions rate by 0.75%. Id give them 10 stars if Zillow let me!

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan helped us sell two condos, and buy a house at the same time. We found the perfect house, but neither of our condos were on the market; he helped us get our places on the market and sold within a matter of weeks. Nathan was there every step of the way, and made the process painless. I would refer him in a heartbeat.

ZillowVERIFIED From the moment we met Nathan, he was extremely personable and friendly. As first time homebuyers from out of state, he provided us with great insight to make our offers competitive and ultimately got us under contract on THE perfect home! Throughout the entire process we had many questions and Nathan was always responsive and enthusiastic with his replies. He negotiated favorable terms and we could not have been more satisfied with the service and home buying experience Nathan provided. We cannot wait to work with him again!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife & I called Nathan on a random Saturday afternoon after we saw a home we loved just hit the market on Zillow. We wanted to see it immediately & Nathan obliged by meeting us there within an hour. We ended up submitting a bid based upon his recommendations & we won! We had been looking for about a year prior to this with other realtors. However, we had mad offers on multiple homes with these other realtors which we never won. I know Nathan's expertise in drafting the offer won our dream home for us!!

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan is very knowledgeable of the market and you never get any pressure from him.

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan did a fantastic job of helping me out of a tight situation with a rental property sale. The property management firm I was using was not delivering on promises and as an out of town investor, this presented a very big, time consuming challenge.Thankfully, I found Nathan. He got on top of the situation very quickly, helping me assess the condition of the property, line up a contractor to get repairs made, assessing the market and finding a buyer. All of his advice was sound, and he delivered exactly as he promised, no surprises.Nathan's assessment of the market was spot on and I ended up with an offer that was more than I had expected, due to his marketing efforts.Nathan is a true professional... highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan is a consummate professional who strives to make his clients happy. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends). His expertise is apparent in all aspects of the buying and selling process. In working with me, he offered valuable advice, answered every question and provided reassurance through every step of the process. Buying and selling a home is both challenging and stressful but working with Nathan made it as painless and positive as possible! He is dedicated to helping his clients through every aspect of buying and selling in order to make the experience a success. I highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIED For work, Ive been relocated 9 times in the past 20 years. Ive owned many different houses during that time frame. We moved to the area this past spring. Nathan came highly recommended from a friend who has used him to purchase a home. Nathan is responsive, easy to work with, quick in communication, and knowledgeable about the greater Columbus area. Hes one of the best realtors Ive ever had.

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan was fantastic. We had to sell our home quickly and he navigated us through the stressful process with ease and professionalism. He was prompt in following up with other realtors and providing that feedback to us. We were fortunate to receive multiple offers and he provided excellent guidance to ensure that we made the right decision. In the end our home sold in 2 days over asking price. I wouldn't trust anyone else!

ZillowVERIFIED Wow! We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nathan throughout our entire home search process. Not only was he super easy to work with but he was readily available when we needed him, professional and very knowledgeable about the market and the area in which we were searching. Would totally recommend him to my own friends and family and should the time come to relocate, we will be going to him in the future. A+!

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan was extremely helpful with helping us find our home. He knew exactly what we wanted in a home and was very patient with us and never made me feel as if I was a nuisance (and at times I know I was). He worked with my very challenging schedule and stuck with us though the entire process of our build up to closing. I would recommend him to anyone in the process of buying a home. He is #1 in our book!!!

Review for Member: Nathan Filia
ZillowVERIFIED Ive known Nathan and his family for about 10 years. When I became interested in buying a home I didnt hesitate to contact his wife. I was more than happy to give them my business and had full trust that they would be professional and attentive during the selling and buying process. I didnt negotiate Nathans commission because I felt his expertise and professionalism would be worth it. This stood true through the listing of my house and the purchase of my new home. The buyers had made some requests and I agreed to (and fulfilled) all of them ahead of the pre determined schedule. I did make one very embarrassing mistake; I replaced the master bedroom window with tempered glass instead of the master bathroom as requested. Because this was discovered 2 days before closing, I contacted a glass company and explained the issue, gave them my contact information and told them to expect to hear from the buyer. I sent Nathan the glass companys information to pass on to the buyer along with my sincere apologies and said to have the company contact me for payment when it was convenient for the buyers to have the window replaced. This is a project that takes one phone call from the home owner and the rest would be taken care of by me. Not a big deal, I thought. I received a call from Nathan after this happened, one day before closing. He ripped in to me about how he had agreed to sell my house and help me find a new home because we are friends and that my mistake had the potential to put his business relationships in jeopardy. He told me that my previous home should be move-in ready and not require work aEURoelike the one you bought needsaEUR?. Huh??? I was speechless. I decided to assume that hed had a stressful day or something. On the day of closing I was not present because Id signed the documents electronically. I texted Nathan and asked him to let me know when closing was complete. I received a text a few hours later: aEURoedoneaEUR?. No thanks for my business etc. By my calculations Nathan made over $25,000 from the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. This was a few months ago and I have not heard anything since. I am still confused about the tone of his phone call and how everything ended after what I considered a relatively smooth transaction of both the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new home. I had recommended him to a friend of mine whose house is now on the market sadly with a different realtor after I relayed this story to them. Unfortunately I would not recommend Golden Gate Realty after this experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Nathan is very knowledgeable about the market we were selling our house. He was very responsive during our listing period. He had great advice and guidance when we were getting comments from potential buyers on changes that ought to be made. We had already relocated, so Nathan was very willing to help meet contractors at our house and stepped in to coordinate when we needed him. During the negotiation period, he kept us well informed on the buyers' comments/thoughts. Very communicative and available when we needed him. Wish we could have had another Nathan in our new market to help us find a house.

Review for Member: Nathan Filia
ZillowVERIFIED Nathan was the listing agent on the home we found. We were not in the market, but keeping our eye on it. When we saw the home he had listed, we contacted Nathan, and went to see the home. We decided to put an offer in, however, we needed to sell our current home. Since Nathan as so easy to work with, and ready for all of our questions, we decided to have Nathan list our home as well. Nathan told us exactly what we needed to do, and stayed on us as well so that we could get our house listed quickly, and show ready. He really understood the market, the area, and knew how to list our home so that we could sell fast and get a return on our home. Nathan is very personable, organized, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Nathan, and Golden Gate to anyone. It was great working with Nathan, and would not think twice using Nathan for anything in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED From the very first meeting until the closing of our home Nathan was engaged and invested in ensuring that we received the best possible outcome with any issue that arose. Nathan was at every meeting and took the time to explain minute details. Nathan was knowledgeable and quick to respond; when the process with our lender and builder got complicated, Nathan went to bat for us. He was there during the entire process and was there for the celebratory photo.

Nathan's knowledge of the area and contacts with builders, lenders, inspectors, etc. was helpful as he was able to quickly put me in contact with needed resources. He was always easy to contact and very responsive and timely. I would definitely use Nathan's services in the future and recommend him to friends and co-workers.

ZillowVERIFIED It was a pleasure knowing Nathan and working with him. Being a first time home buyer I did not have to worry about anything. He helped me with each and every step no matter how small or big that was. Even answered my silliest questions and happily. I am not a very good negotiator and he tried his level best in getting me a good deal. He in fact had more questions than me whenever we were discussing with the builder. Overall it was like someone of my own was helping me selflessly. He would always be the person I wouugo back to anytime and Everytime.

Review for Member: Nathan Filia
ZillowVERIFIED Nathan was very professional, polite and confident. He was quick to respond to texts and emails, but his answers were too confusing and superficial at times. He would probably be an amazing realtor for someone who is looking to buy. He didn't negotiate the sale price we hoped for, and we ended up making no profit. At first he complimented our home and its condition, but a few weeks later he made us feel bad and said "it wasn't move-in ready" which was shocking. He implied a few derogatory things in a very polite way at some point as well. It felt like he wasn't working for us. He was working for the buyer. I would recommend him to someone who is buying or selling homes over $400,000
