A little about Vicki Owens. "I truly love what I do both helping buyers and sellers meet their real estate goals. It is a pleasure to be working in my own back yard in the Union County & Marysville areas for Andy. Doing business in Franklin, Delaware and Madison counties as well. In addition to our office on Avery Road in Dublin, I host our branch office in uptown Marysville located at 127 W 5th Street at the corner of Fifth and Court Streets in the McCarthy & Cox building right next door to our courthouse. All to make it easier for you to visit. To better serve my clients, I've achieved my Residential Specialist Designation (RSD), am an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) and Graduate of the Realtor Institute (GRI) all recognized by the National Association of Realtors. In addition, in November 2007, I achieved my CRS designation. Only 4% of agents nationwide achieve this designation, and they sell 26% of homes across the United States! Feel free to see www.crs.com for more information about this and the requirements and dedication needed to achieve this well respected, professional Certified Residential Specialist designation. Lately, my friends and family refer to me with a smile as a true 'real estate geek', Andy calls it dedication. Ongoing education in this business is very important to ensure that I am staying on top of current services, techniques and laws to provide the best services available."

Custom brochures for each home and print advertising. Also, I offer the Talking House system to each of my home sellers as an option who want this service to broadcast a message to cars passing by.
