Finding an experienced, reliable real estate agent whom you like and trust is the first step in locating your new home. Here is an approach to finding the right agent.

Call or stop by a real estate office and ask to speak with the manager. Describe the type of home you are looking for. The manager can refer you to an agent who knows that market very well. You might also use weekend "open houses" as opportunities to look for a real estate agent, as well as a new home. It is really a matter of chemistry! If you meet someone who is knowledgeable and with whom you feel comfortable, call that person!

Once you establish a strong working relationship with a real estate agent, your agent can show you a number of homes for sale, even if they are listed with other companies. Often the agent can show you a property as soon as it is placed on the market. Many of the best homes never even make it to the weekend classified section of the newspaper!

DeLena began to sell Real Estate with a local Conventional Brokerage and soon decided that in order to grow she would need to affiliate herself with a much larger, International Company. She chose RE/MAX and that is when her career as a Realtor began to soar. After just her second year with RE/MAX (1993) DeLena ranked #5 in all of Ohio among RE/MAX Realtors. In addition to her numerous local recognizable awards with the Columbus Board and Ohio Association of Realtors, she was inducted into the RE/MAX International "Hall of Fame" and "Lifetime Achievement" (RE/MAX's highest achievement awards) as the youngest Realtor in RE/MAX History to attain this level of sales. She has been the recipient of RE/MAX's highest awards since her first full year with RE/MAX. She has been recognized in "Who's Who" in Residential Real Estate in North America for 1994, 1995, & 1996, and articles have been written about her in Ohio Realtor Magazine, In Contract Magazine, Columbus Executive Woman's magazine, Business First and Buon Giorno magazine, to name just a few. She has contributed her time as a Speaker on numerous "Top Producer" panels in 1993-2002 (ytd). In 2002 DeLena was nominated for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year.
