Howard Hanna Opens Fifth Columbus
Office in Eighteen Months
Columbus, OH (July 10, 2013) – On the heels of a very successful
fundraiser for the Children’s Free Care Fund at Nationwide Children’s Hospital,
Howard Hanna Real Estate Services held a grand opening event and ribbon
cutting ceremony on July 10th at their new office in Powell.
Howard Hanna Realcom
Realty operates the company’s five
‘branchise’ offices in Columbus
with locations in Dublin, Pickerington, Delaware,
Upper Arlington,
and now Powell. Rehabbed by the city, this prime office location at 44 North Liberty is temporary, according to
Realcom principal, Marilu Sochur.
“Plans are being drawn for
our brand new building which we anticipate will be under construction within
the next 60 days. It will not only house our state-of-the-art real estate
office but a doctor’s office and other retail as well,” said Sochur. The
permanent location on Sawmill Parkway
is a significant investment in the community by Realcom.
“In the past 18 months, we
have experienced a tremendous amount of growth with over 100 agents joining us
from other companies or as they became newly licensed Realtors by the state of
Ohio,” added Sochur.
Howard Hanna Realcom Realty
doesn’t have any plans to slow down development and expansion. “Our plan
includes opening an additional office before the end of the year to continue
our expansion,” said Sochur. “We want to offer the Howard Hanna brand of real estate
services in every community and be participating members of each local area
that we serve.”
The Howard Hanna Realcom
Powell office already has 15 agents and will be managed by Patti brown-Wright,
also a Powell resident. Senior partners, Marilu Sochur and her husband Bob, are
longtime residents of Powell and are happy to be opening their fifth office
where they live.
Howard W. “Hoby” Hanna, IV,
president of Howard Hanna Midwest, is pleased the growth of the Howard Hanna
brand in Central Ohio.
“Last year was a record-breaking year for Howard Hanna,” he said. “But we are
always looking to top ourselves and expand into new areas. The large
metropolitan marketplace of Columbus was always
on our radar of desirable places to do business and we couldn’t be more
thrilled with the way things are going here. Being the market leaders of real
estate sold in Cleveland
and Pittsburgh, we are
pleased that our high level of service along with our exclusive programs such
as our 100% Money Back Guarantee, are being well received in the Columbus
