Columbus investor turned investor-focused agent: hello BP!

Realtor · Columbus, Franklin County · Member since 2026 · 138 posts · 54 votes

I'm BJ, based in Columbus. I have 17 years of investing in and self-managing value-add single-family rentals, and a career in affordable multifamily housing. Now I'm a Realtor with Swiss Realty Group, focused on helping investors buy 1-4 unit properties that cash flow. I'm here to share real numbers, learn from you all, and connect with anyone investing in Central Ohio. Ask me anything about Columbus neighborhoods, rehabs, or managing tenants.

@BJ Everson investor first, then licensed, is my story too. I didn't become an investor because I was an agent. I became an agent because I was already investing. Seventeen years of self-managing means you already know what your clients will run into after closing. Your "rental grade, not retail grade" line in the rehab post is one a lot of people learn the hard way.

  Thanks for the comment! And yes, being an investor first puts you in the shoes of my now investor clients, so in the position to provide the best proactive services. My brokerage has a PM affiliate that shares my same philosophy for how property management is done correctly, tenant-centric, so we are a full-service shop in the Columbus, OH market.
