About Tancy Mason-Phillips
REALTOR®, rental property investor, author and speaker, helping people in Columbus build wealth through real estate.
Twenty-five years of Columbus real estate.
I earned my real estate degree at Columbus State Community College and got my Ohio license in 1998. A few years later I finished a bachelor's in information technology at Wilberforce University, and that pairing of real estate and systems has shaped everything I've built since.
In 2005 I bought my first rental. Since then I've acquired, renovated and managed single-family and multi-family properties across Columbus. Doing it myself taught me what clients actually need: honest numbers, reliable people and processes that don't fall apart when life gets busy.
Today I help clients buy, sell and invest in residential and commercial real estate as a licensed agent with Coldwell Banker Realty, where I received the Sterling Award.
Scaling smart
I've used virtual assistants for more than 20 years, long before it was trendy. Now I combine that experience with AI tools and automation. For my clients, that means faster responses, organized transactions and nothing slipping through the cracks.
