Mike B., a buyer from Pickerington, OH
We recently had the pleasure of working with John and Kylee as our Realtors in Columbus, OH, and I cannot express enough how grateful we are for their outstanding service. From the initial consultation to the final closing, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and dedication in helping us find an amazing home. They took the time to understand our preferences and priorities, ensuring that every property they presented was tailored to our needs/wants. Their attention to detail and commitment to finding the perfect home set them apart in a competitive market. They were responsive, transparent, and consistently kept us informed throughout the entire process. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly, making the entire experience as stress-free as possible.

One aspect that truly stood out was their proactive approach in both our purchase and selling our old home. John and Kylee went above and beyond to anticipate potential challenges and had solutions ready. The team has a friendly and approachable demeanor which made what can be a VERY stressful process into an enjoyable experience.

We would wholeheartedly recommend the Embark Real Estate Group to anyone in the Columbus area they are simply outstanding!

Nate, a buyer from Hilliard, OH
We talked to a number of real estate agents before we came across John. What set him apart from the beginning was his level of organization, professionalism, and energetic spirit. From day one, he carefully walked us through the entire process from start to finish, letting us keep a folder of all the information for future reference. No other realtors did that. John and his team were on top of things every step of the way. We would reach out late at night about a showing and get it scheduled for the next day. In this market, time is everything and John and his team move at the speed of light. We had a unique situation with the house we sold given it was on a busy road and had commercial property nearby. John advertised the property as having commercial potential and we ended up getting $100K more than what many other realtors said we would get. He also helped us find our new home which we ended up getting below list price. We got the best possible outcome financially, and John and the people we worked with on his team (Guenael and Emily) helped make a super stressful process a lot less stressful. I highly recommend you dont waste any more time thinking about which realtor to hire and let John and his team take care of you.

Ryan Miller, a buyer from Columbus, OH
My wife and I just bought our first house!!! John Kohlhepp was amazing to work with, and made this daunting process seem manageable and possible. With this awesome team, all our fears melted away and we are so, so excited. Not only was John fantastic to work with, but the rest of the team rocks too! Emily Tamburro and Guenael Mirville were great showing agents during the early stages of the process, we got constant support from Kylee West which boosted our confidence in the process, and they even had two new agents, Juliana Ali and Steve Croushore, out with us during a few steps of the process. Plus whoever is behind the scenes doing their admin work really ties the whole thing together. If you are looking for a real estate team that will go above and beyond for their clients, look no further than the Embark Real Estate Group!

Our experience with John and the Embark Real Estate Group could not have been better! John and the whole Embark team were great communicators throughout the whole process and had our best interest in mind. This was my Wife and I's first time buying a home, John did a excellent job in educating us through the process and made us feel confident with what we were getting into. We cannot say enough good things about the Embark Real Estate Group. I would recommend them to anyone purchasing a home in the Columbus area!

Embark is the Real Deal - GREAT buying experience, a buyer from Westerville, OH
I've bought with Embark twice now and both experiences have been fantastic. We came in with a lot of preferences for our new home (and a condo for my mother) and the Embark team was able to assist us. The best thing about this team if you get access to an entire team of experts, not just a single realtor -- that comes in handy when you're messaging often, moving fast, and trying to lock in a deal. John, Kylee, and the Embark Team have been amazing to work with and I have nothing but high praises for them. Would gladly work with them again and endorse them strongly.

John is great at what he does because he has honed his people skills and passion throughout all the years I have known him into who he is today. The driving force behind him is powerful and not stopping anytime soon. I see big things for this young man in the future and for everyone he works with, you are in good hands.

TaylorH, a buyer from Columbus, OH
I am a loan advisor at Lower.com and John was the agent for one of my borrowers. He made my life so much easier with always providing me with timely updates and making sure all parties that were involved in the transaction were on the same page. We had an extremely smooth closing and I would 100% recommend working with John!

ndokuley, a buyer from Westerville, OH
John is incredibly organized, easy to work with, and goes above and beyond for clients. We worked together on a condo purchase for my mother, which is NOT easy and is personalized right now in the market. He exceeded all expectations for what I imagine was a small payout for him. His ethos: treating all clients equally and based on their preference.

We were texting, emailing, and calling based on work schedule and availability: it was fluid and I felt supported from day one through after close.

John "has a person" for just about everything you need if you're buying, selling, or repairing a property. You definitely are adopting his network along the way.

Strongly recommend him for that hard work ethic: he's doing things for clients that you would never expect your realtor to be willing to do..because he cares!

Will G, a buyer from Columbus, OH

My girlfriend and I recently became first time home buyers! We had met John before through some mutual friends and we felt that John would be would be a perfect match for us while looking for our first home. John did not disappoint! John met with us promptly after we expressed interest in looking for a home and was helpful. John was knowledgeable and explained the whole process to us which really put those nervous feelings about such a big purchase to rest. We were able to sift through a lot of homes and after our third viewing we found the perfect home! We are ecstatic with how the whole process went so smoothly and will highly recommend John to anyone who is considering buying a home!

John is the most knowledgeable and personable realtor Ive ever known. He worked diligently and got us an amazing deal and was attentive to our every desire that we needed in a house. I will be highly recommending John for any realty or awesome mustache related business!

Jo , a seller from Columbus, OH
John is an amazing realtor, he went way above what I was expecting. Our prior realtor only wanted to show us houses that she would make the most commission on. John asked us what we were looking for, and sent us listing everyday until we found the perfect one. He would rearrange his schedule to show us houses if we wanted to view them, weekend, evening he was available. He worked hard to make sure we got a good price, and dealt with the bank to speed up closing. He has even followed up with us since the move to make sure we are still happy with the new house. He is a really great guy.

Nick B. , a seller from Columbus, OH
John helped us a great deal with the purchase of our home. His negotiation skills and out of the box thinking helped us beat out 18 other offers, without really have to go too much over the asking price! I'd recommend John and his wonderful mustache to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
