  • Jimmy helped me buy a home

      We were able to find a an amazing house that fit our buying criteria in terms of location, price, and how move-in ready it was. Jimmy was a huge asset with his knowledge of the market, helping negotiate seller repairs/credit, and walking us throughout this entire buying experience. Extremely happy with our experience and thank you Jimmy!

    • Jimmy helped me buy a home

        Jimmy is the best Realtor in Columbus for an out of state investor just like me. He explained everything well, sent me potential properties along with his analysis, and does walkthroughs for me. He also has an amazing network for everything you need like lenders, property managers, inspectors, etc. It took some time to find a good property as this is my first but I am very happy with Jimmy and his service. I highly recommend him!

      • Jimmy helped me buy a home

          Can't say enough good things about working with Jimmy! I was pretty nervous about the whole process, but he made everything super smooth. He really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find a great property that fit my goals. His experience with investment properties was obvious - he pointed out things I would've totally missed and helped me crunch the numbers to make sure the deal made sense. The whole process felt more like working with a knowledgeable friend than a realtor. If you're looking to invest in Columbus, Jimmy's your guy!

        • Jimmy connected me with his favorite lender when it was time to refinance my first rental property. He followed up consistently and was enthusiastic, high-energy, and helpful. I hope to use him for finding and closing future deals!

He is kind, open, and helpful, and he always puts his clients' needs first.He contacted me through BiggerPockets, where I was seeking information on investing in the Ohio market.

He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate buying/selling process. His expertise as an investor combined with his meticulous process, follow up and network makes working with him a dream.

From the moment we met, it was evident that he was genuinely dedicated to understanding our investment goals and ensuring that we found the perfect property. He provided candid feedback on properties, advising us if they aligned with our interests or if there were potential concerns. His integrity and straightforward approach instilled trust throughout the process. As out-of-state investors, we were initially concerned about the challenges of investing in Columbus. However, our worries vanished once we began working with Jimmy. He went above and beyond, providing valuable insights into different areas of Columbus, which helped us narrow down our options effectively.

        • Jimmy is an amazing realtor that goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are informed at the highest level. Not only does Jimmy provides excellent customer service, almost as if he doesnt sleep, working at all hours to answer questions and provide the most up to date information to make your best investment decision. I was brand new to investing and asked him to give me a crash course and told him that Id be asking a lot of questions. Not only did he make himself available at all times, he took his realtor hat off in situations that I needed a seasoned investor to guide my decision. If you are serious about investing in real estate and not sure what or how to do it. Connect with Jimmy and he will put the best deal that makes the most sense in front of you so that you can make you best investment decision!

          - Jose Solis
        • Jimmy was hands-down the absolute best agent Ive ever had. The process for our first investment property was a LONG one, over an 8 month search (due to us navigating new financing programs) and we had several promising deals fall apart along the way. Jimmy never wavered in supporting us, never appeared frustrated, and never let the quality of his service diminish. Jimmy navigates deals like an absolute expert, making sure that we left the table with every advantage and knew exactly which levers to pull to get results. I was incredibly impressed with his savvy around not only financial systems and property deals, but also with the way he navigated human beings and the many desires and motivations in the mix of these deals. I cant express enough how happy I am with the end result, and how excited I am to continue working with Jimmy in the future to get more property.

          - Alec Santiago
        • I've worked with Jimmy for the past few months to find and close on my first rental property as an out of state investor. It was a great experience and I cannot speak highly enough about his persistence, knowledge, connections, and more to make this a smooth process.

          - Andrew Northcutt
        • Jimmy helped me purchase my first investment property. He was great at guiding me through the process. He connected me with various contractors so that I was prepared to start renovations right away. He checked in often about the renovation status of my property even after closing. It is great to have him and his network as a resource and I highly recommend him. I am looking forward to purchasing my next investment property with Jimmys help.

          - Inga Davis

        • Jimmy was absolutely fantastic agent to work with. Found Jimmy over at BiggerPockets as I was an out of state investor and he made the entire process flawless and easy for me. He helped find me a great property, went to the property for me to check it out and gave me his honest opinion whether he thought any property he saw was worth investing in. Would highly recommend working with Jimmy and I look forward to working with him again later this year. Thanks again for all your help.

        • Working with Jimmy was an absolute pleasure. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain all concepts in a way I could understand. His deep knowledge of the market helped me narrow down my search quickly and efficiently.I was particularly impressed by how he negotiated a fantastic deal on a duplex that perfectly fits my needs and budget. He even went above and beyond by helping me navigate the paperwork and connect with reliable service providers.I truly couldn't have asked for a better investor-friendly realtor in my search for a multifamily property.

          - Brian Hong
        • As an out of state buyer, I had many trepidations making a large purchase. However, throughout the entire process, Jimmy was very candid, available, and resourceful to help secure a deal. He helped locate a cashflowing property, negotiate over 10% reduction in sale price and concessions, and navigate through inspection, property mgmt, finance, and appraisal. So essentially being the boots on the ground from end to end which helped tremendously as I physically couldnt be present. Would highly recommend for any Columbus, OH real estate needs!

          - Marty McFly
        • My wife and I are new real estate remote investors and after going through several agent, were so glad we connected with Jimmy. Hes proactive, super responsive, gives great advice and insight on prospective properties. He is detailed oriented and will stay on top of everything during the entire contractual period, super helpful with negotiations, and was so patient with walking us through our first RE deal as investors. He is the perfect blend of a supportive and accessible friend who will give you honest advice (even if its not what you want to hear), will tell you to walk away from bad deals, with the goal of building a long term relationship with you. We are happy to have found our go to investor agent in Columbus.

        • Jimmy was a pleasure to work with. We were able to quickly identify and close on an investment property. We had a number of opportunities that we pursued - not all of them moved to the final stage, but Jimmy was patient and supportive throughout the full process and extremely helpful throughout.I appreciated Jimmy's quickness in pursuing opportunities together and thoroughness once an opportunity progressed. I continue to seek investment properties in Columbus and Jimmy is the only agent here that I have/will work with for my personal residential real estate investments!

          - Mandy Yang
        • Highly recommend. Jimmy is such a pleasant agent to work with. He communicates very well, knowledgable and works in your best interest.

          - Victor Tran
        • We just closed on our first investment property and cant say enough good things about Jimmy! Hes efficient and methodical (even from the intro virtual meeting), which immediately helped us narrow down the range of properties were looking at. He gave us his candid opinions about potential properties, and we loved that hes not afraid to tell us when a listing did not feel like a match for our investment goals. And it really helped that he owns investment properties himself and has been through the process multiple times as a buyer. He is very communicative, which to us was the most important trait given we live out of state. He provided referral sources to other essential members of our team, including property manager and GC, but never pushed us to use them. Hes patient and approachable and made this process so much more enjoyable than we imagined it would be. We look forward to working with Jimmy in the long run and also look forward to eventually meeting him in person haha.

          - Tiffany Shiau
        • It was a pleasure working with you. I appreciate your support and the fact that you are always available. You have always been thorough in your work and answering all the questions. I am looking forward to doing more deals together. Ill definitely refer Jimmy to any family or friend if they are looking for a great realtor who always has their best interest at heart!

From start to finish, Jimmy demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and unwavering dedication to my needs as an investor.From our initial consultation, Jimmy took the time to understand my investment goals and provided valuable insights into various properties that matched my criteria.

His honesty and transparency are invaluable.Throughout the process, Jimmy was always available to answer my questions, provide updates, and address any concerns I had. His communication skills are top-notch, and I never felt out of the loop. What stood out most was his ability to negotiate effectively on my behalf, securing a fantastic deal that exceeded my expectations. Jimmy is a prime example of why its so important to work with realtors who are successful real estate investors themselves. Looking forward to working with him again in the future.

        • As an out of state investor, you need a great agent. Jimmy is that person for me. He is very knowledgeable with the real estate market in Columbus and will help you analyze the deal. To be able to get a great deal, you need to be fast as a seller and realtor. Jimmy is very responsive and will also bring you off-market deals that he has analyzed to potentially be a good investment.An awesome agent is not just about bringing properties in your inbox. Jimmy has contacts for anything that you would need for your investment property: lender, contractor, property manager, etc.He helped me close on my first investment property in a great neighborhood, turnkey, and has tax abatement which is a HUGE plus. We will definitely be doing more deals in the future!

          - Michael Gameng
        • Jimmy crushed it for my first home buying experience out of state. Jimmy answered all my questions and gave me feedback as we searched and analyzed deals. He made himself available consistently including weekends. Most importantly, he would recommend passing on deals that he knew not to be good investments. Highly recommend!

          - Christian Sexton
        • Jimmy is a great realtor to work with, detailed and has great expertise in market knowledge, responsiveness and genuinely care of the relationships. He is really professional and reliable and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an real estate expert in Columbus market.

          - Dayton Bnb
        • We really appreciated Jimmys experience and guidance as we bought our first duplex in Columbus OH! He helped us understand the neighborhoods, made time to take us to multiple properties to calibrate price points and regularly sends quality deal leads as we pursue our next project. He is very communicative with us as out of state investors and his assistance on the ground is invaluable every step of the scouting and buying process. I cant recommend him highly enough!

          - Emily Royce
        • Listen. Buying a house is a confusing process and what makes it worse is there are many incompetent and careless realtors out there. If you are just getting into real estate investment or a first home buyer, Jimmy is your guy. He is very organized, knows his stuff, follows up and, above all, he REPRESENTS you. Hire this guy. I'd hire this guy for all my future transaction.

          - Young Woon
        • Jimmy was absolutely incredible! From the start hes been completely on point. We were buying a home from out of state and were not able to be present, and Jimmy handled everything for us. Jimmy made the process so easy and was very knowledgeable. He gave us personalized recommendations based on exactly our criteria and had great referrals for contractors, insurance, property managers, and so on. We have now closed on our first property, and we are so ready to do it all again in the future with Jimmy.

          - Myles Hutcherson
        • Jimmy is an excellent realtor! He helped us sell our duplex quickly and for more than we thought we could get for it. He was incredibly attentive and communicative and I felt like he had our backs throughout the whole process. He went above and beyond and helped us navigate an untimely eviction as well as helped us get bids for some last-minute repairs.I highly recommend Jimmy for any of your real estate sales needs in Columbus. He's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and a pleasure to work with. You won't go wrong with Jimmy!

          - James Bianco

          - Anthony Haag
        • I recently worked with Jimmy as my real estate agent and had a great experience! He was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me find my home.

          - Antonio Esposito
        • We found Jimmy through biggerpockets as we were starting our re investment journey and really enjoyed working with him. He helped us to buy our first investment duplex, which would have been impossible, firstly because we live in california and secondly because of his guidance and connections to everyone who helped us throughout the transaction. All his referrals were tremendously helpful and helped us build connections with trustworthy people we otherwise wouldn't know how to find. Jimmy was super responsive throughout the search and transaction process which was great because some of the properties went so fast that offers had to be submitted asap. He also preps deal flow for properties he thinks are solid investments which was helpful and interesting to learn about. Overall, highly recommend working with Jimmy for your columbus re needs, investment or otherwise.

          - Rachael Tang
        • Jimmy was an incredible resource in helping us secure an investment property. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and seamless communication made the entire process stress-free and efficient. We couldnt have done it without him!

          - Casey Dye
        • We had a wonderful experience working with Jimmy Lieu. He was always available and responsive. Some of the properties we considered had limited information available. Jimmy went the extra mile to ensure we had everything to make well informed, educated decisions. All future real estate deals we do in Columbus will be collaborated with Jimmy.

          - Brian Dye
        • Jimmy was incredibly helpful to me as an out of state investor. He would send me frequent deals and gave me his honest opinion when I brought him deals as well. He was able to tour many houses for me and provide me with honest and helpful feedback. He also helped me get many items repaired/credited by the seller during the inspection phase and helped me navigate a long closing. Im looking forward to working with him again!
