I’m a broker, a landlord, and a German Village regular. I started in real estate in 2004 while I was still in school, and I’ve spent the years since buying, selling, and managing homes in and around the Village. My brokerage, MDC Realty Limited, is a few blocks away at 685 S Front St in the Brewery District. I’d rather tell you which block gets the afternoon sun than give you a sales pitch.
