Real Living Inc. a Columbus based company grew. Big growth spurt...
GMAC Real Estate and Real Living are merging. They will be using the Real Living name, brand, technology.
Real Living Inc. is a Columbus Ohio company.
Real Living's "expansion unit" (Real Living Network Services) was bought by a company called Brookfield Residential Property Services. Real Living just became five times larger... "expansion unit" comes from the title of a Columbus Business First article.
We (Real Living HER agents) got an email (with the press release) last night and a voice mail.
I work for Real Living HER. That is the company formerly known as HER Realtors. HER Realtors has been a leader in Central Ohio real estate for decades. Real Living HER is the number one real estate company in Central Ohio.
Real Living formed in 2002 is based in Columbus. The "expansion unit" part of Real Living is Real Living Network Services.
"The name of Central Ohio’s largest residential real estate brokerage will appear in nearly every state after its Columbus parent sold the division that powered its national expansion."
Brookfield owns GMAC real estate, has for about 9 months... GMAC real estate franchises across the US are the offices that will now have the Real Living name, logo, technology etc.
The Columbus Business First article says: "All of GMAC’s more than 600 offices will take the Real Living name."
Who's who....
Harley Rouda Jr. is the president of the new merged company...
Real Living Realty Services - Dayton, Cinci, Louisville (I get this franchise confused with Real Living Network Services, the "expansion unit" of Real Living. )
There are Real Living franchises currently in 20 states, there will soon be the red and white signs in 46 states from what I am reading and hearing.
Brookfield Residential Property Services is a division of Brookfield Asset Management Inc.
"The deal, consummated this month and announced today, merges Real Living's 2,000 agents in 130 offices with approximately 8,000 GMAC Real Estate agents in 470 U.S. offices. It creates a company with $20 billion in annual real-estate transactions. About 8,000 of GMAC's 13,000 agents in the United States and Canada are expected to become part of Real Living."
What's the effect for buyers and sellers in Central Ohio? Not much, you've already got the good stuff available.

That number is subject to change. Already did there are 132!
The links below are to a market report for the Columbus suburb (or neighborhood), showing the inventory at the beginning of September. The links are to my market reports on ActiveRain, a real estate network:
Upper Arlington homes for sale - 5 Upper Arlington open houses priced from $444,000 to $848,100 (6 if you count the one that is listed as "Upper Arlngtn" separate
*The number of open houses may increase or decrease before Sunday afternoon. It went up as I was publishing this.
Last minute opportunities to hold open houses present themselves. Or the homes sells before the open house... sometimes the seller and agent decide to hold the open house anyway... telling visitors the home has just gone in contract and since the financing or home inspection is not "nailed down" yet they choose to hold the home open. Other times "Hooray, cancel the Open House" and take the day off. It's a matter of personal choice....
The Open House list is NOT archived. The link above will always show the current Real Living HER Open House list on my website, real time!
If you visit my website (the open house link above is to my website) each home on the Real Living HER Open House list is "Presented by Maureen McCabe." I am not holding all the houses open this week or any week. The same open house list is on each Real Living HER agent's site.
Each listing on the Real Living HER Open House List tells you who the listing agent and office is, or whom is holding the property open if you need that information.
