About Reafco

Reafco Real Estate is a full-service brokerage that works with investors and owner-occupants to acquire 1–20 unit properties across Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, and Cincinnati. What makes us different? Over 75% of our agents own investment properties—and most acquire their first property within 18 months of joining.

We believe great brokers are also great investors. With a collaborative culture and high-performing cold call systems, we generate access to top-tier off-market deals. Reafco is a place to grow your knowledge, your network, and your rental property portfolio.
