Most recent expansions include areas in southern Ohio such as Pickerington, Upper Arlington, and also Delaware. Dublin-based franchisee RealCom Realty agreed earlier this year to bring Howard Hanna Real Estate Services into an initial territory covering Dublin, Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Powell, Worthington, Grandview Heights and Marysville. RealCom Realty has grown since January from a modest 15 real estate agents to over 65 real estate agents.

Howard W. "Hoby" Hanna, IV, President of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services of Ohio, is proud of the growth into the Columbus, Ohio real estate markets. "We sort of felt in talking with Columbus real estate agents that this market was looking for a company with our marketing and business development concepts as well as our focus," said Hanna. "Columbus is a big metropolitan marketplace, so we're constantly looking for other entrepreneurs who might affiliate with us."

Columbus, Ohio is a burgeoning city and was named as one of the "Top Ten Places to do Business" by MarketWatch, "One of the Best Places to Raise Children" by BusinessWeek and an "Up-and-Coming" tech city by Forbes Magazine. It is also home to multiple Fortune 500 companies, such as Limited Brands. The expansion into Central Ohio is important to continued success and Howard Hanna Real Estate Services is thrilled to now have a presence in the region.

Through a strong partnership with RealCom Realty, Howard Hanna Real Estate Services looks forward to further opportunities for affiliations and increased growth during the rest of 2012 and beyond into 2013.
