Being part of a family business means our values aren't posted on a wall, they are ingrained in us and a part of who we are. Honesty, genuine care, and an unwavering commitment to serve others are the values that drive everything we do!

Jennie: After 25 years in mortgages, where I helped over 2,000 families finance their homes, I transitioned into real estate sales. It was a career shift that surprised a lot of people. When I told colleagues I was getting my real estate license, the reaction caught me off guard. People I respected said, why would you do that? I was proud of what I'd achieved as a lender. But that reaction lit a fire in me.

For years, I had a front-row seat to see how realtors worked through the home buying process with my mortgage clients.  I often found myself helping keep transactions moving and solving problems behind the scenes, while also seeing the incredible difference a strong, skilled agent could make for a family. That contrast stayed with me. At the same time, I was investing in my own growth through REALTOR® training classes with the Women’s Council of REALTORS®, learning from some of the top agents in the country and striving to become an even better advocate for my clients. Somewhere along the way, I had an honest realization: I didn’t just want to support the process — I wanted to lead it.

My son Ryan joined me and together we formed The Dream Home Team, combining our unique experiences and shared faith and family values to truly serve our clients. In our first five years completed over 450 transactions. We haven't looked back since!

I've seen shifting markets, changing rates, and programs come and go. That experience has been crucial because there is little I haven’t seen or know how to navigate. When the journey gets complicated, and sometimes it does, you don't have to figure it out alone. You just need someone who has experience and can put the right resources in front of you at the right time. Since starting in 2018, the team has grown to include my son Collin and a few other incredible agents. We know we are just getting started!

When I’m not working, I’m doing my best to enjoy the life Kevin and I have built together. Over the last 20 years, we’ve blended our families, raised five children, and now enjoy life as empty nesters in our dream home in the Glens of Ballantrae in Dublin. Family is at the center of everything for me, and I cherish every opportunity to spend time with my grandchildren. I also enjoy a round of golf with Kevin or my girlfriends, time with my book club, and staying active with Pilates and yoga. Like many women, I do my best to balance family, fun, and life, and I treasure the moments that allow me to be present for all three.

Ryan: Right out of college, I earned my real estate license and joined my mom in real estate. But the journey began long before that. Growing up, my dad flipped houses, so I got to see the process of fixing a property up and how you can create real value. And of course, with my mom in mortgages, I got exposed to the lending side too.

While I was studying at The Ohio State University, Fisher School of Business, I was also building my own direct sales business on the side, eventually reaching the top 1%. I was very driven and enjoyed connecting with people. When I graduated, those skills made jumping into real estate feel less daunting as we formed The Dream Home Team.

When I came on board, I made a deliberate choice: don't assume you know anything. I shadowed my mom who had years of experience on the mortgages side, then spent as much time as I could learning under mentors who had negotiated thousands of contracts across every kind of market. I asked every question I could think of and ran every scenario by someone more experienced before I made a move. I don’t take that training for granted—it enabled me to learn a lot in a short period of time to serve our clients to the best of my ability.

Outside of work, family is everything. My wife Kristen and I have a daughter, Scarlett, and we are currently building our dream home together. Kristen manages the design center for a local home builder, so between the two of us, real estate is a big part of our lives. When we do find downtime, I enjoy golfing, date nights, and staying active.

As a team, we are ranked in the Top 2% of REALTORS® in sales volume in Central Ohio. For us, that is a direct reflection of the trust our clients place in us. We are grateful for every repeat client and every referral to a friend or family member. Our number one goal is to uphold the high standards and care they have come to know and love, so every client receives the same quality service regardless of price point.

One way we deliver that level of service is by operating as a true team, where each member specializes in key parts of the real estate journey to create a more seamless, concierge-style experience for our clients. Jennie leads the listing side of the business, guiding sellers through pricing, preparation, presentation, and marketing strategies that position their home for maximum impact. Ryan leads the buying process, helping clients define their goals, align their budget, explore financing options, and make strategic decisions about location and lifestyle. Collin serves as the glue throughout the transaction, managing details behind the scenes, keeping timelines on track, and ensuring every deadline and moving part is handled with care. Together, that specialized approach allows us to provide a higher level of service, more intentional communication, and the confidence of knowing you have a team of true advocates every step of the way.

Sincerely,
