We had a great experience with Joe! We were only in town for a weekend and had to find a place to rent -- Joe made himself incredibly accessible and responded to our inquiry within minutes. He even came to check in on move-in day!

Joe has one reason to help you. He is a professional. He has seen it all, he knows who to call, financing, the markets, pricing and lenders. Dont call your brother in law who is starting out. Call Joe and use his knowledge to help you get the best value for what is often your most valuable asset. Ive known him for 15 years and he has served hundreds of buyers and sellers.

Love working with Joe and his clients great Realtor in Columbus Ohio

Joe was such a help as we were looking to buy an investment property. He was easy to communicate with, always available and was super quick to answer questions, share feedback, etc. My husband and I will definitely recommend Joe to friends in the market!

We wanted to work with a realtor who lives and works in our neighborhood and understands the condo market. We read many reviews and decided on Joseph versus a realtor we’d worked with before from outside our sale area. We feel that it was a great decision because Joseph understands the market and advised us how to price appropriately. We sold quickly. The whole process was efficient and Joseph’s communication was great!

I've experienced many a real estate agents in my time....from NJ to Florida to Virginia to Ohio.......We were in a rush to find a suitable place to live in Columbus. Do we rent or buy? It was daunting.......My wife searched for a real estate agent and voila...Joe Speakman came up. We read his reviews and decided to give him a call. It was one of the best calls we ever made honestly. Our first conversation with Joe sealed it. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He immediately started to send us listings and possible rentals. Once we traveled there and met him, we were taken to a number of properties and Joe gave us a tour of Columbus which gave us a better idea on what the area was all about. After seeing numerous homes for sale and rentals it made sense to purchase. Thanks to Joe, we found a home that was perfect for my son and daughter-in-law. Close to OSU and in a wonderful neighborhood. He guided us through every step of the process and was available ALWAYS. Joe Speakman is a dedicated, hard-working agent who will do what it takes to find you a property that you will be comfortable with. His honesty and devotion to the business is something that is hard to find these days. If you want an agent who will work overtime for YOU and not stop until he gets you what you want, then give him a chance. You won't be sorry!

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Joseph Speakman, and we couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and dedicated professional to help us find our first home! From start to finish, Joe went above and beyond to make our home-buying journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Coming from across the country with only two months before starting my new job, I knew it was going to be very difficult—almost impossible—to find a house, let alone a “dream house," given these challenges. Joe got it done for us! From our very first meeting, Joe impressed us with his genuine kindness and attentiveness. He took the time to truly understand our needs and preferences, never making us feel rushed or pressured. While we were out-of-state, we had to start our house search online. When we contacted Joe about a prospective house, to our surprise, he immediately got on his motorcycle and drove to the property to film a live virtual showing for us. I have never had a realtor do this for me before. Joe even took the time to drive around the neighborhoods to give us a sense of the house's surroundings. Joe was incredibly patient, answering all our questions and providing thoughtful guidance at every step of the house search. One of the things that stood out the most was Joe’s caring approach. He made us feel like we were his top priority, showing empathy and support throughout the entire process. Whether it was calming our nerves during negotiations or celebrating with us when we found "the one," Joe was there with a smile and a reassuring word. He also included my parents in the buying process and maintained communication between all of us. This is much harder than it sounds with four different opinions coming from different directions. Joe became our voice of reason and a true leader in narrowing down our decisions as a family. We eventually honed in on Victorian Village in Columbus as our number one neighborhood. Joe took this to heart and decided he would not stop until we had our ideal home, regardless of the challenging housing market. His deep knowledge of the local market and attention to detail ensured that we not only found a beautiful home but also made a sound investment. In fact, Joe advised us against a house with a higher asking price because he didn’t think it was a reasonable purchase for our situation. This is true kindness and shows that he did not become a realtor for financial reasons; he really enjoys his work and the clients he takes such good care of. When we finally made an in-person visit to the house we planned to make an offer on, he was there to answer all our questions, from flooring adjustments to appliance quality, as well as HVAC and water heater ages and HOA details. In the end, we were consistently impressed by his professionalism and dedication, and we truly felt that Joe had our best interests at heart. We are now happily settled into our new home, and we owe so much of that to Joe’s exceptional service. Joe even bought us Ohio State shirts to welcome us to the area, and we celebrated at dinner in town. In addition, Joe personally made sure the house was spotless before we arrived by hiring a cleaning service and removing old paint cans from the basement by himself! He also lent his ladder and tools when we moved in and he is still available for questions while we get settled. I definitely trust Joe—and not just as a businessman but as a new friend. If you’re looking for a realtor who combines expertise with genuine care and kindness, we wholeheartedly recommend Joe. He made our home-buying experience a memorable and positive one, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Joe, for everything you’ve done for us! Warmest regards, The Ferrara Family

Joseph Speakman is incredibly knowledgeable about the short north area neighborhoods and real estate market. He’s great to work with, has fabulous resources to share, and will go above and beyond to deliver amazing service!

11/10 would work with him again on our next house purchase. Joe was attentive, knowledgeable, and very active in our search. He guided us every step of the way. The home we ended up purchasing wasn’t even on our radar. He was the one who knew about it and suggested it to us and we loved it as soon as we saw it. He guided us every step of the way.

Joe was so helpful and knowledgeable!! He walked me through everything and answered my million questions with patience and kindness. Highly recommend!

Tremendous help for a first time home buyer. Joe was able to walk me through the entire home buying process and has all the best connections to local experts in the Columbus area.

By far, Joe is an exceptional agent. He is diligent, hawkish, pays attention to detail, and you really feel like you got value for his services. I am an experienced investor so likely a difficult client. Joe is savvy, responsive, and is always thinking outside the box on how to get a deal done! This makes him investor friendly, home buyer friendly and overall friendly!

Joe is very knowledgable and even easier to work with. It has been a pleasure partnering with him.

Great job! I appreciated all the work that Joseph Speakman did to make this sale happen. From the first day that he hand-delivered the comps through the negotiation, and closing, his attention to detail and keeping us informed was excellent.

Joe is the best!!
