Why did you decide to get into Commercial Real Estate?

I became very interested in real estate during college while leasing/managing apartments near campus. After speaking with contacts in the business I was intrigued by the idea of beginning a career in an industry that is exciting, constantly evolving, and has essentially no limit on growth potential.

Why did you decide to make Columbus your home?

I initially moved to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University. It didn’t take long to realize how special this place is. Between the people and the city itself I knew I wanted to put down roots here.

Where do you like to vacation?

The Caribbean and other warm/tropical climates to take a break from Ohio winters. Also Colorado to visit family and enjoy the mountains.

What is your favorite hidden gem in Columbus?

The Pub Out Back – Old Worthington.

Case Studies

Testimonials

Caterina Ltd.

"We hired NAI-specifically Phil Bird and Peter Merkle--because they had been recommended by us by persons in the industry and who knew them from prior dealings and reputation and because we were impressed with their understanding of the unique nature of our historic neighborhood and our building in particular. Within two days of the posting, Phil was conducting walk-throughs and by the third day he had an offer that was very close to our asking price. We had a deal with the buyer in 5 days. Phil Bird stayed on top of this, working with the appraiser to achieve an informed appraisal, keeping us regularly informed about the progress of the transaction, and dealing professionally with curveballs thrown by others. We can't praise more highly the excellent work performed for us by NAI in the sale of our commercial property. Job well done!"

Catherine Adams, former owner
