I
have been selling, leasing and represting Buyers for over thirty three years.
I got my "Salesman's
License" in 1978 and started working at Fred'k A. Schmidt, Inc. in downtown Cincinnati. I was trained
by Bill Grogan, one of the most honest and respected commercial Brokers in Cincinnati. His word was his bond. He enjoyed
people from every walk of life. I sold and leased commercial property, and prepared estate appraisals.
In 1982, I joined my father-in-law, Ray Lutter. Ray had a business
of managing homes for transferred executives of P&G, GE, Cincinnati Bell, and other Cincinnati corporations. While they
were overseas, we rented and maintained their homes. In 1990, we were managing over 115 homes. I met every
type of Owner, tenant, contractor, and utility service provider there is. Ray was very orgainzed, and enjoyed the bookeeeping.
I enjoyed being outside the office, overseeing the maintenance, and working with people. Ray and I were proud to say
that we never had a disagreement during the time we worked together. Well, political maybe, but never a business wise. Ray
gradually retired. And, to this day, I miss his advice.
In 1990, I started Strietmann Realty, Inc. In 2005, I phased out of the residential property management business.
Strietmann Realty now
provides traditional brokerage services representing Sellers and Buyers. We also represent Owners and Tenants; who want to lease office and retail space.
Contact us, if we can be of help.
