I (...we!) Kare 'n Sell...Hilliard (and more of Central Ohio), where we continue to reside. This is one of Ohio's fastest-growing communities, featuring one of the state's top school districts and great recreational opportunities. Here you'll find homes in all price ranges, and friendly neighborhoods both well-established and new. I'd like to tell you much more about the area my family calls home! 

I (...we!) Kare 'n Sell...vacation & resort homes, too...in the famous Hocking Hills Region, including Hide-Away-Hills (click on "Buy Your Hideaway" for photos and tour!). Hundreds of families make this one of Ohio's most unique communities. It's a place for year-round homes and weekend getaways. Club members enjoy boating, fishing, golf, stables, tennis, pool, lodge, security and much more in this community nestled in the beautiful and well-known Hocking Hills area. As members and property owners in "The Hills" as well as realtors, we'd be more than pleased to show you everything this unique private community has to offer.  And as members of the Hocking Hills Tourism Association and Friends of the Hocking Hills, we'd love to also show you what this oh-so-scenic area is all about, and how things are developing on the heels of the opening of the Route 33 Lancaster bypass.  We also specialize in log homes, now representing Jubach Log Homes....if you're not well acquainted with this classic construction, we'll be happy to offer you a top-to-bottom tour (through photo tours and production)....and connect you with clients who've bought log homes, including some available for rental!
Through many years, we've found our clients now considering second or even retirement home options.  The traditional "snowbird" or other distant locations for these homes no longer are the automatic sort of choices they once were, as folks decide it's best to buy a getaway that's within a relatively short drive...or to remain closer to family and friends.  If you'd like to find out if "The Hills" might be the right choice for you, just give us a call for a personal tour!
