Meet Tancy

Real estate as a wealth plan, not just a transaction.

I've been licensed in Ohio since 1998, and since 2005 I've been buying, renovating and managing single-family and multi-family rentals in Columbus. So when we look at a property together, I'm thinking past closing day. I'm thinking about the roof, the rent and what the place will be worth in ten years.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling one you've loved, or adding a door to your portfolio, you get the same thing: honest numbers, a clear plan and quick answers.

Working with me

What you can expect.

i.

Numbers first

Before you fall for a kitchen, you'll see the comps, the monthly cost and what the property is likely to need.

ii.

An investor's eye

I've owned and managed rentals for two decades. I'll spot the things that cost money later, so they don't surprise you.

iii.

Systems that answer

A trained virtual team and smart tools handle the paperwork and scheduling, so I can spend my time on you and nothing gets dropped.

iv.

Straight talk

If a deal doesn't make sense, I'll tell you. The best result is sometimes the property you walk away from.

v.

Out-of-state friendly

Investing in Columbus from somewhere else? I coordinate showings, inspections and contractors so you don't have to be here.

vi.

In it for the long run

Many clients start with one home and come back for the next one, and the one after that. I plan for that from day one.

For investors

Thinking about a rental? Run the numbers before you fall in love.

The systems behind the service.

After more than 20 years of hiring and training remote teams, I wrote Leveraging Virtual Assistants for Cost-Effective Growth, a practical guide for business owners who are ready to delegate. I've also spoken to more than 100 real estate investors and housing providers at REIA events in the U.S. and Jamaica.

Those same systems run my real estate business, and they're how I keep clients informed at every step.

Questions

Tancy, in short.

What areas does Tancy serve?

Columbus and the surrounding Central Ohio communities in Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Pickaway, Madison and Union counties. She also works with out-of-state investors buying in the Columbus market.

How long has Tancy been in real estate?

She has been a licensed Ohio real estate professional since 1998 and an active rental property investor since 2005. She is currently a licensed agent with Coldwell Banker Realty.

Can she help me invest in Columbus if I live in another state?

Yes. She coordinates showings, inspections, contractors and property management introductions for investors who don't live locally, and uses video walkthroughs and shared documents to keep you in the loop.

She assists with commercial real estate acquisitions and investments alongside residential work. Reach out with what you're looking for.
