Thanksgiving

I am very thankful to have great mentors in life and in business. Being able to go to work everyday with my Father and Grandfather is something that not many people can say they get to do. This is an inspiration to me and attributes to the eagerness to be successful in our business and in life. It would have been easy to stay home yesterday with Jill and Luke but I didn't see that as an option this Thanksgiving.

Ready...(I think).

Jill and I have been able to enjoy watching our closest friends raise their children over the past 10 years. A few weeks before we meet our son I think about all I have learned from our friends and only hope I can be half as successful as they have. I know Friends & Family will be here to help us along the way when we have questions.

At this point, no one has asked if we are "ready". So I am taking it that we will never be totally ready. Cribs, swings, pack as plays are put together... I even have the stroller assembled and tires shined up(which i got made fun this past weekend). So we feel ready...but I am sure things will come up and we will adapt just fine.

Until then...we are ready(I think).

SOLD, 1289 Bluejack Lane, Heath Oh 43056

My 5th home sale in River Oaks subdivision in 2012. Been a great year for the Heath market. Todd, Misty, and kids will be a great addition to the Heath community. Very lucky to have worked with them.

Rewarding client testimonial...


Andrew was recommended to us by a person (whose opinion we value and trust) that has been involved in the Real Estate business for many years. We had also heard very good remarks about Andrew’s family that is involved in Real Estate as well.  We interviewed three very qualified and capable agents.  Although it was the recommendation that garnered Andrew the interview, it was his easy going demeanor and willingness to listen to our concerns and answer our questions that secured him the listing.  My wife and I immediately felt at ease with Andrew during the interview.  His knowledge of the Corporate Relocation Process was a big asset and he was able to help guide us through the process.  Andrew is very knowledgeable with the Heath, Newark, and Grandville areas.  It was this knowledge of the area that we feel enabled us to show and sell the house so quickly.   We were able to sell our house within a month of putting it on the market. We would highly recommend Andrew to anyone that is going through the home sale or buying process.

Never too old to celebrate a birthday...

Eventful evening to celebrate the 34th birthday of my pal Brandon. Gets better every year. No scars this year, but I left early.

Oh, and who knew PJ needed to read the lyrics to sing a song he probably sings everyday in the car.

This Old House and how to deal with it...


To remove old paint off old door hinges use dish soap, water, and crock pot. Let soak for several hours and dried paint will come right off. The hardware will have a rustic but clean look to it.

Beginning of a project

The most fulfilling project in a while. We are getting Baby G's room ready. Had the hard wood floors refinished and time to cover up the lime green paint with some primer. Long way to go...

Looking for something to do today?


One of Licking County's treasures is the Dawes Aboretum located on St. Rt. 13 close to Newark, Heath, Hebron area. Dawes Aboretum is located 35 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, four miles north of Interstate 70 and six miles south of downtown Newark. The Arboretum is open-free of charge-from 7am until sunset daily except New Year's, Thanksgiving and Christmas days. The Visitors Center is open Monday - Saturday, 8am - 5pm; Sundays and holidays, 10am - 5pm.

While out that way enjoy a cold one and good meal at Crossroads Bar and Grill or Jacktown Pub. Both are located at the corner of St. Rt. 40 and St. Rt. 13 in Jacktown.
