Today Homes


I have started selling condos for a second builder, Today Homes! They offer two bedroom, two bathroom, garden style condos. They have several locations around Columbus, including the southeast, southwest, Dublin, Polaris, and Westerville. I'll be at The Edge in Westerville, but can sell you a condo in any of the locations. Don't forget that I also sell Portrait Homes and that I'm a Realtor who can help you buy or sell any home!




Look at these views! Alum Creek and the bike trail are right in your backyard! This is what you see when you look out your rear windows! Oh, and don't worry about flooding. They call it The Edge for a reason!
