Was very helpful from the get go. This was my first time buying a house so I was in the dark on where to even begin. Joseph helped me get going all the way through to closing. Will absolutely be using him flog we ever sell and/or buy another!
I cannot adequately express how much Joe knows his stuff. Joe was the first to contact me after I made an online inquiry about a property. He was able to accommodate my schedule as my wife and I were coming into Columbus from out of town. Over the course of our 3 day trip Joe showed us 8 properties, answered all questions, gave us a tour of Columbus and it's neighborhoods, made recommendations and eventually won us an offer on a condo. We could not be more happy with the result of the negotiations and we are now happily owners of a condo that, even after closing, Joe helped to secure. (Got the keys and walked through property as we were unable to be there for closing) There is no doubt in our minds Joe Speakman is right for your next real estate transaction.
Joe is very knowledgeable about the Columbus area, and passionate to help find the perfect home for you.
Selecting Joe was a family decision including our 3 adult children who came to town for the interview. Our decision to select Joe was unanimous! Joe is very tapped into all the “e” tools that are essential to selling houses these days. He also provided excellent suggestion on how to get our house ready to sell to include have an inspection and making corrections prior to listing. Doing that, made the “sell” a lot easier and quicker. I heartily recommend Joe. He goes out of his way to make all the details easier to accomplish. You will not go wrong if you select Joe to sell your home.
What a hardworking and thorough realtor, Joseph Speakman is. So lucky to have found him to facilitate the sale of our house. And YES! He definitely expedited getting it sold even before first showing. With our meet/greet meeting, he provided us sound advise in doing proactive strategies to get our place ready like getting a professional home inspection done and documentation of actions done. As we had to move out of state, he took over all the things needed to get our place in great shape. Joseph is an excellent communicator and kept us posted of every sale progress. What a blessing to have our house sold even before we reached our out of state new place. The icing of the sale: we were paid at asking price in cash. A miracle worker, Joseph!! Thank you so much.
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.
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!
