"A few days after first contacting Lee, we had a contract for the sale of our condo, and it wasn't even on the market yet!"

A friend recommended Lee to us.  Our condo had been on the market for 8 months with another realtor with no results.   We decided another opinion was necessary, and called in Lee Ritchie.  It was clear after our first meeting with her, that she respected our opinions and concerns but gave us the  necessary advice: declutter and paint so others can imagine themselves in our unit.  She was also very positive, and knew she could sell our home quickly.  We made the decision to take our condo off the market while we painted.  Fortunately, before we could act further, a client came to Lee who was looking for a home in the area, and she was able to match us up.  A few days after first contacting Lee, we had a contract for the sale of our condo, and it wasn't even on the market yet.  Lee is very knowledgeable about Columbus, and takes time to get to know her clients so she can bring the right buyer to your home!

She far exceeded our expectations.

Lee is a no nonsense, 100% real estate professional. She far exceeded our expectations. We had our home previously listed with another agent and received "good feedback" however it didn't result in any offers. After listing with Lee, we received an offer in under a week and closed within weeks. She  made the process smooth and handled all details with extreme competency. Her marketing skills are outstanding and she understood our wants and needs. She works tirelessly and always with complete respect.  We sing her praises because she deserves them hands down! There is a reason why she is in the top 1% of Realtors in the country!

She was always easily available by phone and email whenever we needed her assistance.

Lee helped us above and beyond what was expected in the purchase of our new home. There were many things we were unaware of as first time buyers that she was able to point out for us. She was always easily available by phone and email whenever we needed her assistance. We highly recommend her to  anyone seeking a home in the Columbus area--she is the best!

She truly has the best interest of her clients at heart

Lee helped us buy and sell a home in the past few months. Her knowledge of the Columbus market is outstanding! She gave us the feedback we needed, and her honest opinion on the properties we were seeing. The part I appreciated most was the fact that she told us if she thought something was  overpriced and not worth seeing. She was not out to make a sale and be done with us, she genuinely cared about the quality of the home we purchased and that it met our needs/expectations. On the sale side, she was fantastic with her opinion of staging and what needed to occur to make the home sellable. She truly has the best interest of her clients at heart and we will 100% use her in the future if we choose to move again! Thanks, Lee!!

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in downtown Columbus.

Lee did a great job helping us understand the local real estate market during a crazy time to buy a home. She brought a lot to the table and provided a lot of great information as we explored different neighborhoods in downtown Columbus. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in  downtown Columbus.

Highly recommend!!

Lee guided us through every single step of our first home buying experience. She was always available to answer our questions and was genuinely invested in finding us our dream home. Could not have done any of it without her. Highly recommend!!

We couldn't be more thrilled with our new home, and we wouldn't be in it without the help of Lee Ritchie!

After my husband relocated from Chicago, I then relocated from San Diego to join him in Columbus; and with a baby on the way, we were more than overwhelmed starting our home search as first time buyers.

As we'll be entering quite a different lifestyle than what we're accustomed to, we weren't  confident on neighborhoods or even where to start. We went to random open houses, searched popular websites, and met random realtors, but nothing was the right fit, and we always seemed to be too late. The Columbus market is in such high demand, homes we did like, we'd finally get a showing and they'd already be off the market with several offers. What we thought would be fun was turning into one frustrating disappointment after another, meanwhile our baby's due date was quickly approaching.

LUCKILY, LEE RITCHIE TO THE RESCUE!  My husband and I are so thankful one of his clients put us in touch with Lee Ritchie, who happens to be Columbus' Best, and she certainly earns the title. With her wealth of experience, knowledge of the area and quite the network of business relationships and clientele, as first time buyers we needed a certain amount of hand-holding and guidance and she was glad to help us! Lee thoroughly understood our needs vs nice-to-haves, and our deadline with a baby on the way, she was realistic with us and helped us with neighborhoods and areas based on what we were looking for. Lee was so quick to respond to our requests for showings, enabling us to see homes that were just put on the market that day, and some that weren't even on the market yet. We greatly appreciated that she didn't waste our time, or hers, she didn't show us places in areas we didn't like and she didn't show us places that were significantly above our budget. We never felt like we were a burden or just a number to her; Lee genuinely cares.

Lee contacted us late one evening with a prospective, and we were able to view it within the first few hours of being open. Once we knew we loved it, she helped us make an aggressive offer with friendly contracting terms, beating out I believe five or six other offers, in the 26 hours the house was on the market. Lee also had great recommendations for the home inspections.

We just closed on the house, paperwork was a breeze, and we received immediate possession and keys, all before our baby is due!

We couldn't be more thrilled with our new home, and we wouldn't be in it without the help of Lee Ritchie! 

She is truly Columbus's best.

We have had the pleasure of working with Lee several times as both buyer and seller.  Each transaction left us more impressed with her tremendous knowledge and expertise in the competitive Columbus real estate market.

Lee's vast experience really shined when it came to listing and selling our  German Village home.  She knows what buyers are looking for, and we trusted her implicitly when preparing our home for sale.  With Lee's expert assessment and marketing, we had above list offers within hours of listing and she got us top dollar for our home.                        Lee worked tirelessly to find us a new home that was up to our standards.  When we found our dream home, she went right to work to help us present a fantastic offer to seal the deal.  Lee was there with us from showing to closing and every detail in between.  She was available to answer our questions at any time and acted as impromptu therapist when needed ;)  She is a tough negotiator, and I was so grateful to have her on our side.

Lee is a pleasure to work with.  I really appreciated how she got to know us and what we wanted in a home.  Often she would point out things with her "realtor eye" that we may have overlooked.  And more than once she discouraged us from making decisions we would have regretted.  It seems that at Lee's level of success, its no longer about just making the sale, its about finding her clients the perfect home.

We couldn't be more confident when referring Lee to friends and colleagues.  She is truly Columbus's best.  Thank you Lee for all you've done for us.  We will miss working with you. 

Lee was an incredible help as a first time home buyer.

Lee was an incredible help as a first time home buyer. Her experience proved to be very impactful in getting a deal done in a very competitive market such as the Short North. Her around-the-clock accessibility, knowledge of the market and partner recommendations (lendor, inspector, etc) made my  experience seamless. Lee and her team are top notch professionals that I would reccomend to my closest friends. She is not afraid to push hard for what she believes is right for her clients. I look forward to working with Lee again in the future. Thank you for all of your help, Lee! 

We would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Lee Ritchie was the perfect realtor for us. She is extremely professional. She made sure we were prepared to sell and worked hard to get us the best price for our house. We would work with her again in a heartbeat!

I highly recommend Lee as a realtor

Lee was great to work with on both ends of the process buying and selling. I had to sell my house quickly due a relocation and she was able to move me through the process quickly and get everything done well. She was fairly responsive during the process (it was a very busy time) and always got back  to me, but there were one or two things that I needed to remind her of.

Overall, I highly recommend Lee as a realtor for buying and selling your home. She is knowledgeable in the German Village and greater metro area.

Lee is an excellent top of the line realtor.
