About Us

In 1996, Jo-Anne LaBuda decided to build a team after realizing that she could no longer do the best job for her clients as a single agent.  Her idea was to assemble a team of specialists in every aspect of residential real estate.

Today the "LaBuda Advantage" is in the top 1% of Realtors in the United States and ranked #12 out of 7,000 agents in the Columbus area. in 2006  The team has been #1 in sales in Worthington for the past three years.

The LaBuda Advantage team consists of eight full-time professionals: a Team Leader, a Listing Specialist, three Buyer's Agents, a Marketing and Advertising Director, a Listing Coordinator and a Closing Coordinator.  We pride ourselves on providing the best possible service -- all for the same cost to the client as a single agent.

Our Listing Agents specialize in the northern arc of Columbus, which encompasses such communities as Worthington, Upper Arlington, Clintonville, Westerville, Dublin, Hilliard and New Albany.  Our Buyer's Agents are well-versed in every part of the Columbus market including Bexley, Gahanna, Blacklick, German Village, Grandview and the rapidly growing Downtown area.

  • The mission of the LaBuda Advantage team is to provide the highest level of service and expertise to buyers and sellers of residential real estate in the Columbus area.
  • Our goal is to close every transaction with an extremely satisfied client who will hire us again and recommend us with confidence to friends, neighbors and business associates.
