Jeff is so knowledgeable and experienced. He gave us great advice and found us the perfect house in German Village before it even hit the market. Jeff’s connections and knowledge are invaluable, particularly if you are selling or buying in German Village.
Buyer of 204 Jackson Street, Columbus
I haven't bought a home in decades. And, this transaction was particularly personal. Jeff guided me through every step. He was smart, patient and always had time to answer every one of my questions. When it comes to German Village, there is simply no one who knows the market better. I am grateful to have had the very best agent at my side for this entire process.

Jeff and his associates were absolutely the best! Jeff did a great job of identifying potential properties to see, fully understanding out needs and timeline. He and his associates kept me informed and were responsive to all my questions once we settled on a property to make an offer on. He guided us through the offer to contract to closing very successfully with great advice that resulted in the best possible result. Many thanks to Jeff and his staff!

Bre and I connected on social media and within six days of our first message—I was in contract! After looking for houses to rent, I decided (on a whim) that it may be a good time to buy. I’d already been following Bre on Instagram for a few months and I loved seeing how busy she was and how quickly she sold homes. After seeing her find a house for a client who then needed to sell the house right away — I was convinced she knew what she was doing. I was shopping for my first house, so I was open to multiple types of properties. Within the first day, Bre picked up on some of the features I gravitate toward and sent me a house in one of my ideal neighborhoods, within my budget. She negotiated the deal to include new windows and $6,000 of seller-covered closing costs! She called to tell me that my offer was accepted on Monday—we had just messaged for the first time the previous Tuesday. Unfortunately, that seller and house ended up being a nightmare. Bre supported me through dozens of stressful interactions and guided me to make the best decision. I had to walk away from that deal. A few days later, Bre found more houses in locations that I loved with features I was excited about (vaulted ceilings and lofts.🤤) After about another week of searching, I chose to make an offer on a house in a neighborhood I love, that I didn’t think was possible to find something in my budget. It had only been on the market for 14 days when I saw it, but Bre still managed to negotiate $8,000 in seller-covered closing costs! This helped buy down my rate by .625% We closed in 21 days which was only two months after our first conversation and 30 days after the first house fell through. Beyond the ridiculously quick timeframe — Bre showed me 15 houses, never seemed bothered when I ran late, and always responded to my texts day or night. If you’re searching for a home in the Columbus, OH area—you can’t go wrong working with Bre Bahl.

There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for everything our real estate agent did for us throughout our home buying and selling journey. From our very first conversation, his kind, calm, and gentle nature immediately put us at ease. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience felt manageable because we knew we had someone in our corner who truly cared. He was always quick to respond, patient with our questions, and willing to take the time to explain every step of the process. No matter what challenge or concern came up, he made us feel heard, supported, and confident in our decisions. We never felt like just another transaction. He genuinely cared about our family, our goals, and helping us find the right outcome. What stood out most was the trust we developed in him. At every stage, we felt that he had our best interests at heart and was advocating for us as if we were family. His professionalism, integrity, and compassion set him apart in a way that is increasingly rare. We can honestly say that we would not have wanted to go through this process with anyone else. If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and truly cares about the people he serves, we recommend him wholeheartedly. Working with him was one of the best decisions we made.

Mike helped us with buying and selling our first home. He was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we got exactly what we needed. He is thoroughly detailed in every step of the process. Mike is patient, kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and an overall genuine human! I’ve recommended him to everyone I know. He made the buying and selling process SO smooth and easy to understand for us. Mike is truly gifted at what he does, and anyone would be lucky to have him as their realtor.
