First-time Homebuyers

Scott and Leah were first-time homebuyers. Scott just finished med school and got his first placement in residency. We helped them navigate the complicated but excellent program of a doctor’s loan to successfully buy their home in Hilliard in a highly sought-after neighborhood. Their house had several other offers, and the seller wanted to avoid working with a doctor’s loan buyer since they take a bit longer to close than different loan types. However, after we helped give the sellers confidence in our ability to complete the loan promptly, they changed their minds and went without an offer!

Persistence Pays Off

Jazlyn gets our award for the most determined and persistent buyer. We were in the midst of the most competitive market in Ohio’s real estate history. She was continuously beaten out by cash buyers and buyers with deep pockets who could offer way over listing prices. She wasn’t in a position to compete. After over 100 showings and at least 40 offers, we found a house being sold by the owner. The only form of marketing the owner did was put a sign in the yard, nothing online, nothing in any other publications to bring a ton of buyers in. It was on a quiet street, and we lucked out by driving by it one day. There were no other offers on the property (because of the mediocre marketing), so Jazlyn could get the house for what the owner was asking for!

Finding a Fixer-Upper

Karissa was shopping for her first house. She wanted a fixer-upper. We found the perfect one, and she has been working on updating it over the last few months, and it looks great. We were able to connect her with some of our favorite contractors to help her with the work she didn’t want to DIY.

A Perfect Lineup

Gwen moved here from Georgia! She was concerned about moving several hours away and finding the right house without not having a place to stay in the middle of her move. Through virtual showings, we were able to help her pick out the right home and make sure the closing dates lined up perfectly with the sale of her house in Georgia! We won’t hold her loyalty to the Georgia Bulldogs against her. 

Space for Everyone

Chris and Jen lived in a small three-bedroom, one-bathroom home with their four kids and two dogs. It was way too small. We were able to help them not only sell their three-bedroom house for top dollar but negotiate the maximum time for them to find their next house and move in. They are now living in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a huge basement and a backyard.

A Smooth Transition

The Crafts had a home they lived in before moving to an assisted living facility. We worked with their kids to ensure the home was positioned to sell for as much as possible to help them continue living in their care facility as comfortably as possible. 

A smooth transition for these homeowners.

Room to Run

Brad and Kylee lived in a small house with a small yard and wanted some room, not only in the house but also in the yard, for their dogs and kids to run around. We were able to help them sell their house and get the closing dates lined up so that they only had to move once. 

Making Dreams Come True

The Kirvinks had a dream of moving to Florida and enjoying the sunshine. The problem was that they thought their home was worth little more than the mortgage they owed. They had decided to stay put and make the most of living in cold, snowy Ohio. Luckily they connected with us on social media and saw that we had sold a few homes in their neighborhood for much more than they thought their house was worth. We went over and were confident we could sell their house and make them a decent profit even after paying off their mortgage. We were about to leave when they mentioned they owned a bit more land off the back of their property, and that is where it got interesting! The extra land added a ton of value and uniqueness to their home, and we were confident they would make a profit and sell their home for almost double what they owed on their mortgage! We successfully sold their house and made enough profit, and they are now working on buying a place just off the beach in Florida!

  • My girlfriend and I recently became first time home buyers! We had met John before through some mutual friends and we felt that John would be would be a perfect match for us while looking for our first home. John did not disappoint! John met with us promptly after we expressed interest in looking for a home and was very helpful. John was very knowledgeable and explained the whole process to us which really put those nervous feelings about such a big purchase to rest. We were able to sift through a lot of homes and after our third viewing we found the perfect home! We are ecstatic with how the whole process went so smoothly and will highly recommend John to anyone who is considering buying a home!

  • John Kohlhepp and the Embark team’s focus on asking the right questions and his experience recognizing great potential combine to find the perfect fit in terms of the right part of Columbus, the right amount opportunity to add equity, and current/future needs. He also demonstrates that experience in how he interacts with other agents to get to the best conclusion for both the buyer and the seller. John and the team team also works great in tight timelines without adding pressure to make choices prematurely.

  • Working with John Kohlhepp and his team at Embark was a great experience. We started trying to sell our condo in Westerville by owner. My only regret is not making the decision to work with Embark sooner. They smoothly handled so much of the tedious and frustrating hidden aspects of selling a home—even when the inevitable road bumps came up. Personally, John is very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and personable. Highly recommended!
