Business Philosophy

Emmanuel is a constant student of the real estate business, learning every day what the latest and greatest technologies, laws and statistics are for the Central Ohio Market. "I believe buying and selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions in many peoples’ lives. I work hard to be up on the latest laws, technological advances, etc. to ensure that they have the best experience possible. I help my clients navigate what can be an emotional journey that requires an expert to help.” Emmanuel firmly believes he is not in the business of selling houses but in selling homes where people live their lives and create lifelong memories.

Education and Training

Emmanuel is a graduate of Worthington High School (back when there was only 1 high school). He attended and graduated from Adrian College where he joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon and became student body President as a Junior. He also was one of only 2 students appointed by the college President to serve on the Board of Trustees for Adrian College. "It was quite an honor to serve on the Board of Trustees with people like Gary Valade, who at that time was the CFO of Chrysler. I learned a lot in those 2 years." Emmanuel was educated in real estate at Hondros College but never stops taking continuing education. "I always want to continue to learn the latest and greatest in my profession. It's important to me to stay on top of the fast changing real estate market to be the expert that my clients can rely on." In Spring of 2013, Emmanuel also completed the 3rd Leadership Academy with the Columbus Realtors to strengthen his leadership skills for his industry and as a community leader.

Community Involvement

In January of 2018, Emmanuel Remy was appointed to Columbus City Council to serve out the remainder of the term of newly elected City Attorney Zach Klein, a term which expires in December 2019. Emmanuel's long-standing leadership in NE Columbus earned the respect of his City Council colleagues to gain the appointment. His neighborhood and real estate experience has been a great addition to the Council's already vast experience. Columbus City Council is considered a part-time position and this allows Emmanuel to maintain a full-service real estate practice for his clients.

Emmanuel Remy was elected Director on the Columbus Board of Realtors in January of 2014 and 6 terms as President of the Northland Community Council (NCC). NCC is an area in northeast Columbus that is 25 square miles and represents over 125,000 people. If it were its own city, it would be the 7th largest in the state of Ohio. Emmanuel says, "It was a great honor to serve the people of Northeast Columbus. I enjoyed being their advocate and fighting for our community. I look forward to continuing that advocacy not only for Northland but for the entire City of Columbus." Emmanuel serves as an activist in local, state and federal governments which allow him to advocate for his clients in ways other Realtors don't have the experience to help. "With my contacts, it absolutely benefits my clients in how I can fight for them not only during the transaction but beyond." Emmanuel also gives a significant portion of every transaction back to his client's community.

Personal Background

Emmanuel spent over 15 years in corporate sales. Most recently he was a regional director for a multi-billion dollar corporation working with C-level executives selling financial packages worth several hundred million dollars. "I traveled 5 days a week, sleeping in hotels in different states. It was important to me when we started our family to be able to sleep at home at night and be active in my children's lives. After years of investing in real estate, I felt it was time to start using that experience to help others in their quest to have a piece of the American dream." Emmanuel and his wife Elizabeth "Liz" have 3 children, Elliot, Katherine and Meredith who all attend Columbus City Schools. They reside in the city of Columbus. Liz is in her 16th year of teaching middle school science with Columbus City Schools. Both are committed to working to help others in their community.

Vision

Central Ohio has had one of the most aggressive real estate markets in the United States. Emmanuel realizes this and helps his clients understand the current real estate market so they can be the most competitive possible. "The last 4 years have changed the real estate market dramatically. It's important to have a real estate professional who knows the market, understands the latest laws and can provide a top level of customer service for their client. I strive every day to be that professional. I know how tough buying or selling a home can be so I make sure I am that professional that my clients know to call and who they can trust."
