Stephen Dial

This was our second purchase experience with Stephen. Our first was a beautiful condo in Upper Arlington a few years ago, where our son lives. The second was a current new build patio home for us in Hilliard. We moved here from out of town, and appreciated his expertise in finding out information on the areas we were interested in. He attended all of the sales/design selection meetings and his assistance was very helpful in putting together a home that fit our vision, needs and price point. Stephen is a very detailed individual who can help keep you on track and make sure the fine points are addressed. We highly recommend using Stephen as your realtor. It's very obvious that he enjoys his profession!

Stephen was AMAZINGLY helpful and knowledgeable in helping my daughter purchase her first home. I will definitely secure his services when I am ready to sell my own home. I have worked with several agents in past transactions, and none hold a candle to Stephen.

Jim was great from start to finish. He was straightforward, responsive, and had a solid game plan from the first time we met. We were moving out of state and so in addition to the normal stress of moving, we had the added stress of no one being home to deal with last minute issues and trying to sell while traveling. Jim made everything seamless and even checked on our house while the sale was pending. All of the service providers he recommended were top-notch too and equally easy to work with. He even went so far as to find a personal recommendation for a relator in our new town - 3,000 miles away. I would enthusiastically recommend Jim to anyone seeking a relator in Columbus. Thanks again!

Working with Stephen was an amazing experience from start to finish. He guided me through every step of the home buying process making sure I have all the available information to make a decision about a property. Always available to answer my questions, he consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. I truly feel fortunate to have found the best real estate agent in Columbus.

Stephen Dial is hands-down the most knowledgeable and client-focused agent in the Columbus market. I was first referred to Stephen four years ago when I was moving to Columbus, and he represented me as a buyer. That experience set a high bar — so when it came time to sell the home he helped me purchase, I naturally turned to him again. Stephen not only met my high expectations the second time around— he far exceeded them. He timed the market perfectly, generating 34 showings in just 36 hours, and brought in multiple offers well over asking price. His strategic planning, marketing approach, and understanding of buyer behavior were spot-on. Beyond the results, Stephen is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive throughout the entire process. His professionalism and steady communication made everything smooth and stress-free. He is also just an enjoyable person to work with who genuinely cares about you as his client. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Stephen is a fantastic realtor and such a pleasure to work with. He is so knowledgeable about real estate and the entire process, super responsive, and kept us informed every step of the way. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with Stephen again, and would recommend him wholeheartedly to family and friends.

Working with Stephen Dial was a completely different experience from our previous attempt to sell our home. From the start, he was communicative, sharp, and brought a great sense of humor that made the process feel less stressful and more human. He was always easy to reach, explained everything clearly, and never treated our questions like burden - even when we felt a little lost. Stephen’s savvy and confidence helped us navigate the market successfully, and we always felt like we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared. We can't recommend him enough to anyone buying or selling in the Columbus area.

Stephen did a fabulous job selling my home! His knowledge of the area along with his advice on pricing, timing and staging was on point. And with the incredible photos, video and promo, we had a full-price offer within 24 hours!

Stephen was nothing short of exceptional! He helped us buy our second home on a tight timeline and easily accommodated our schedule from offer to closing. From the start, his communication was frequent and consistent. We never had to ask for updates because he anticipated our needs and even thought of things we hadn’t considered. We have two young kids who came along for showings, and Stephen made them feel involved by printing out listing packets just for them. He also gave us honest, unbiased input on every home we toured, which we really appreciated. When we found the home we loved, he immediately connected with the listing agent and truly went to bat for our offer. Stephen is extremely well-connected and worked seamlessly with our lender and title agency, helping us close remotely (a huge plus since we were moving from out of state to Ohio). Stephen is a phenomenal agent, and we can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a real estate agent, stop your search— Stephen will go above and beyond for you!

I’ve known Stephen for nearly 35 years, so my siblings and I chose him to sell our Mother’s home. His experience and attention to detail helped the family get top dollar in only a week. Than you Stephen!
