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 worked with Joseph Speakman and couldn't have asked for a more dedicated professional to help us find our first home. From start to finish, Joe made our home-buying journey smooth and enjoyable. Relocating across the country with only two months before starting my new job, finding a home seemed nearly impossible, but Joe made it happen. From our initial meeting, Joe impressed us with his kindness and attentiveness. He took the time to understand our needs without rushing us. Despite being out-of-state, Joe conducted live virtual showings and filmed properties, which was exceptional. He even explored neighborhoods for us. Joe’s patience and thoughtful guidance stood out. He made us feel like a priority, showing empathy and support during negotiations and celebrations. He also managed communication between us and my parents, who had different opinions. Joe’s ability to navigate these conversations was invaluable. We focused on Victorian Village in Columbus, and Joe was determined to find us the perfect home despite the challenging market. His knowledge and attention to detail ensured we found a beautiful investment. Joe even advised against a higher-priced house that wasn’t suitable for us, showing his commitment to our best interests. When we visited the house, Joe answered all our questions about flooring, appliances, HVAC, and HOA details. His professionalism and dedication were evident. Now, happily settled into our new home, we are deeply grateful for Joe’s exceptional service. He arranged a cleaning service and removed old paint cans before our arrival. Joe even gave us Ohio State shirts and joined us for a celebratory dinner. He’s still available for questions as we settle in. If you’re looking for a realtor who combines expertise with genuine care, we wholeheartedly recommend Joe. He made our home-buying experience memorable and positive, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
