    Luxury homes are the epitome of class, style, and opulence.

    Offering the best of the best in architecture and design, these homes incorporate premium building materials, breathtaking aesthetics, deluxe finishes, and so much more. Expansive spaces in the best locations and cutting edge smart tech ensure privacy and security, while a wide range of amenities elevate your quality of life.

    What exactly does it take to make a luxury home luxury—and what are the latest trends from luxury real estate influencers? Let’s take a closer look.

    Price tag

    Luxury homes are the most expensive houses on the market because they offer the best of the best—but there’s no magic number that automatically indicates that a home is a luxury property. Since home values vary widely from market to market, the range for luxury homes varies similarly. In Central Ohio, homes valued      above $700,000 tend to be categorized as "luxury homes."

    Some definitions of “luxury real estate” state that a home’s value must fall into the top 10% of homes in a particular market for it to be considered luxury. Others require the home’s price to be twice the average home value in the area. See more information from Bankrate.

    Amenities

    Luxury homes offer a wide range of amenities that are not typically found in other types of homes. These amenities often include:

    Gourmet, chef's kitchens with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances

    Spa bathrooms featuring soaking tubs, premium materials, and ethereal designs

    Private recreational facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and more

    Home theaters, game rooms, and other entertainment spaces

    Design

    Luxury homes are where art meets convenience, and they’re designed to be both beautiful and extremely functional. They often feature:

    Luxury materials such as hardwood, marble, quartz, and travertine

    Custom design and architecture that extends far beyond production homes

    Incredible attention to detail from the crown molding to the floorboards

    Expansive windows that allow natural light to pour into the home

    Flowing floor plans that cater to the specific needs of the household

    Location and privacy

    You’ll usually find luxury homes in prime locations near desirable amenities, such as beaches, lakes, golf courses, and more.

    They’re also often located in exclusive neighborhoods and master-planned communities. These communities have controlled access and 24-hour security, which helps result in high property values and low crime rates.

    Luxury homes also offer a high level of privacy because they tend to have larger-than-average lot sizes and many security features, and they may be located in areas secluded from traffic, noise.

    Looking for a luxury home?

    If you are looking for the best of the best in real estate, a luxury home is the perfect choice. Whether you want to build one or buy one, and no matter how extensive your must-have list, I'll help to make your dream home a reality.

    Buying or selling real estate is more than a transaction—it’s a major life decision. You deserve a guide who brings not just experience, but clarity, strategy, and trust to the table. That’s where I come in. I was born and raised in Fostoria, Ohio—a blue-collar factory town where your word meant everything and people treated each other with respect. I come from a family of military veterans, tradesmen, and kind-hearted Midwesterners who taught me to do good, be good, and work hard. I carried those values with me to Ohio Wesleyan University, where I played football and graduated with the same commitment to perseverance and teamwork I bring to every client relationship today. My real estate career began not in Central Ohio, but as part of a Wall Street Journal Top 100 Team in Boston—one of the fastest-moving, most competitive markets in the country. Before real estate, I served in senior political roles, including State Director for the Massachusetts State Treasurer and Legislative Director in the State Senate. I even ran for State Representative and earned an endorsement from The Boston Globe—because I’ve always been driven to serve people, solve complex problems, and lead with integrity. Today, I bring those same values into my work as a real estate professional and former managing broker. I’ve led agents, negotiated complicated transactions, and taught hundreds of professionals how to master real estate contracts. I don’t just understand the fine print—I’ve taught from it. That insight often helps me make small but strategic contract adjustments that protect my clients or save them tens of thousands of dollars. I currently serve on the Columbus Realtors Broker Advisory Committee and am the Past-President of the Greater Dublin Realty Association, where I continue to advocate for professionalism, education, and client-first service across our industry. Clients know me for my steady communication and proactive approach. I hold weekly check-ins to ensure no one ever wonders, “What’s happening?” or “What’s next?” Whether I’m guiding a family through an emotional sale or helping a first-time buyer make a strong start, I act with clarity, empathy, and your long-term goals in mind. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me coaching my daughter’s softball team, spending time with my family, or fishing and boating in Port Clinton, where my parents now live. I live in Dublin with my amazing wife and our two beautiful daughters—and I consider it an honor to serve families across Central Ohio with focus, care, and professionalism. If you're ready to move forward with purpose, I’m here to help you do it wisely.
