About
As a seasoned real estate agent, I have a proven track record of providing top-notch service to my clients. With over four years of experience and well over 100 real estate transactions completed, I have developed a deep understanding of the local market and a keen eye for spotting lucrative investment opportunities.

In the last 16 months, I have achieved over 18 million in real estate sales and work with investors to help them find their next buy and hold, BRRRR, flip, short-term rental (STR), medium-term rental (MTR), or primary residence.

Ratings & Reviews

James Bianco

Jimmy is an excellent realtor! He helped us sell our duplex quickly and for more than we thought we could get for it. He was incredibly attentive and communicative and I felt like he had our backs throughout the whole process. He went above and beyond and helped us navigate an untimely eviction as well as helped us get bids for some last-minute repairs.

I highly recommend Jimmy for any of your real estate sales needs in Columbus. He's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and a pleasure to work with. You won't go wrong with Jimmy!

Anthony Haag

This was a long journey and we had to be very patient to make sure we got the right deal. Jimmy sent us a real winner that fit our portfolio. This is our first rental and we are extremely excited. Thanks again!

Antonio Esposito

I recently worked with Jimmy as my real estate agent and had a great experience! He was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me find my home.

Casey Dye

Jimmy was an incredible resource in helping us secure an investment property. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and seamless communication made the entire process stress-free and efficient. We couldn’t have done it without him!

Brian Dye

We had a wonderful experience working with Jimmy Lieu. He was always available and responsive. Some of the properties we considered had limited information available. Jimmy went the extra mile to ensure we had everything to make well informed, educated decisions. All future real estate deals we do in Columbus will be collaborated with Jimmy.

Julie Nelson

Jimmy was incredibly helpful to me as an out of state investor. He would send me frequent deals and gave me his honest opinion when I brought him deals as well. He was able to tour many houses for me and provide me with honest and helpful feedback. He also helped me get many items repaired/credited by the seller during the inspection phase and helped me navigate a long closing. I’m looking forward to working with him again!

Mike Geary

Jimmy was amazing and thorough! He sold my property super fast. I would highly recommend him if your looking to sell or buy a property.

Terrence Knight

Jimmy is a fantastic agent, I can't say enough positive things about the experience I had. As an out of state investor, Jimmy was instrumental in providing knowledge, expertise and recommendations on specific areas and Columbus OH as a whole. He provides such good analysis on properties and market rent, and his honest thoughts a properties potential. If you're out of state, or even if you live in Columbus OH, Jimmy is your guy! I've closed on investment homes before but this was by far the most analytically driven, and smoothest process I've ever had! Will 100% be working with Jimmy again and again! Thank you!

Rachael Tang

We found Jimmy through biggerpockets as we were starting our re investment journey and really enjoyed working with him. He helped us to buy our first investment duplex, which would have been impossible without him, firstly because we live in california and secondly because of his guidance and connections to everyone who helped us throughout the transaction. All his referrals were tremendously helpful and helped us build connections with trustworthy people we otherwise wouldn't know how to find. Jimmy was super responsive throughout the search and transaction process which was great because some of the properties went so fast that offers had to be submitted asap. He also preps deal flow for properties he thinks are solid investments which was helpful and interesting to learn about. Overall, highly recommend working with Jimmy for your columbus RE needs, investment or otherwise.

Calvin Truong

Jimmy was an awesome investor-friendly agent to work with. He won't tell you every property is a good deal just for the sake of closing on more properties. Instead, he is honest and will tell you if a certain property is not a good investment. As an out-of-state investor, it's super important to have boots on the ground to physically check out properties you're interested in, as well as have all the connections to important people to have on your team (lenders, contractors, property managers, insurance, etc.). Jimmy is a one-stop shop for building out your REI team in the Columbus area! Lastly, Jimmy saves me hours a week by not having to constantly browse the MLS to find deals myself -- he handpicks certain deals that would make good investments and sends them to you (based on your buy box criteria, whether that's long term buy and hold, BRRRR, appreciation/equity play, etc.). I would definitely recommend working with Jimmy if you are a real estate investor, and will definitely...

Creselda Agtong

Jimmy has been an incredible real estate agent to work with! As a first-time out-of-state investor, we appreciated his responsiveness, honesty, expertise and patience in answering all of our questions. He’s not afraid to tell you if a deal isn’t good, which builds trust and confidence in his advice. Jimmy has been extremely helpful throughout the process, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable agent. We are looking forward to working with him again on our next purchase!

Wyatt Pfeifer

I had a VERY easy experience with Jimmy. When it comes to what he provides as an agent, and local investing knowledge, it’s tough to trust anyone else! I grew up north of Columbus but now live out of state. Knowing I missed so many nuances in the market, Jimmy was clearly well equipped to answer any questions and concerns. I’m skeptical when something seems too good to be true, but Jimmy was exactly what I was looking for.

If you are looking for an agent for any reason, it’s got to be Jimmy.

Chinh Nguyen

Jimmy was a tremendous help during my time as an out-of-state investor. He consistently brought me a variety of promising deals and provided honest, detailed opinions on properties I found myself. He personally toured numerous homes on my behalf, offering candid feedback, highlighting potential issues, and sending walkthroughs thorough videos recordings.

Working with Jimmy was both seamless and reassuring. His transparency and dedication made it easy to trust his judgment. I look forward to partnering with him again on future investments.

Dianne Lim

My husband and I were hunting for our first out of state investment property and found Jimmy. If we could give him 10 stars we would. Jimmy is hands down THE best real estate agent that we have ever worked with. You are not going to find anyone else like Jimmy. From the very first call we had with him, we knew he would work super hard for us, and we were not wrong.

He constantly brought us great deals, and gave us his investor thoughts and video walk throughs on why these are great deals, which were so extremely valuable since we are buying the property unseen. When we ourselves came across things we thought were good deals (but weren’t), he wasn’t afraid to tell us no. Being from out of state, it would have been easy for him to just say yes to make a quick sale, but he really looked out for our best interest and told us to not get into these bad deals.

Additionally, being in an extremely competitive market like Columbus, we needed someone who was fast and competitive.
