The New Albany Company

"New Albany’s success stems from a high level of community interaction among all of the New Albany Company’s business partners. Our partnership with Mike Simpson and his team at NAI Ohio Equities, which includes listing property for sale as well as managing both residential and commercial properties, contributes significantly to our vision and values: to provide the highest possible quality of life for those who live and work in New Albany."

William G. Ebbing, President

Germain Lexus

"Mike and his team did a great job with our search for land to build a new Lexus service facility. Rigid requirements dictated both by state law and customer convenience narrowed the property parameters significantly, but Mike persevered and gave us great options along with great expertise in the market. Additionally, Mike was able to negotiate a contract that gave us the time we needed to entitle the property to allow for the required zoning and street access. Over all, working with Mike was a great experience."

Rick Germain

Telhio Credit Union

"Mike has represented Telhio Credit Union for many years and has successfully found sites for new branches in Polaris, Grove City, Worthington and Lancaster. While some of these new sites were listed for sale, others were acquired from unwilling sellers, and with Mike's expertise, we were able to negotiate deals fair to all parties. Mike's expertise stretches beyond identifying sites and negotiating deals: Mike helps to coordinate our development team including engineers, architects and attorneys as we move through the entire development process. Overall, our experience with Mike Simpson and NAI Ohio Equites has been positive and we intend to use Mike for future real estate assignments."

Leslie Bumgarner, President and CEO

LiUNA Local 423

"With Mike Simpson’s help, LiUNA is saving its membership thousands of dollars a year, while maintaining a location that serves us very well. Besides the savings, we have the flexibility of being a tenant. Mike did what he said he would do, and we couldn’t be happier."
