Carlos Taylor, Realtor nickname "Cork"

Hello, my name is Carlos Taylor (nickname "Cork").

I grew up in Rushville, Ohio, and graduated from Faifield Union High School in 1963. In 1967, I graduated from Columbus Business University with a bachelor degree in Finance. I also attended Franklin University taking additional business and accounting courses.

I am a lifelong resident of Fairfield County, Ohio, and have lived in Lancaster, Ohio, since 1970. I am married to Lyndel (Clendenen) Taylor, my wife for 40+ years.

Most of my working career (1972-2001) was spent as the Director of Finance and Treasurer of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. For 29 years I was responsible for the Library's accounting, budgeting, payroll, investment management, and financial reporting services. I also handled real estate purchases and sales for the Library and assisted in the management of several apartment buildings owned by the Library. I retired from the Library in 2001.

In 2002, I became a licensed real estate agent after attending Hondros College, where I took real estate licensing courses, and then passed the State of Ohio Real Estate Examination that same year. Since then I have taken additional real estate classes and now hold the designation of "Residential Real Estate Specialist". I specialize in helping "my clients" purchase and sell residential property.

Over the last several years I have gained a lot of real estate sales experience representing many Buyers and Sellers and have had numerous "closed real estate transactions".

I am a member of both the Lancaster and Columbus Multiple Listing Services, which cover all of Central Ohio. I am also a member of the Lancaster Board of Realtors, the Ohio Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors.

In 1970, my wife and I became members of the First Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, Ohio. Since joining I have served on several church boards and committees, have held the position of Deacon and Elder, and have served on the church's Finance Committee.
