Carlos "Cork" Taylor, Realtor: 

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

I grew up in Rushville, Ohio, and graduated from Fairfield 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 Ohio 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. 

I have now been a real estate agent for many years and have gained a lot of real estate sales experience representing both Buyers and Sellers.

I am a member of both the Lancaster and Columbus Multiple Listing Services.  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.

Ron Robinson, Realtor:  

" 2006 Realtor of the Year"            

Hello, my name is Ron Robinson.

I grew up in Bremen, Ohio, and graduated from Fairfield Union High School in 1966.  I also attended Ohio University where I majored in accounting technology. 

I am a life-long resident of Fairfield County, Ohio, and have lived in Lancaster, Ohio, for the past 37 years.  I am very proud to call Lancaster my home!

I have had several jobs, but most of my career (other than my real estate career) was spent working for American Electric Power (AEP) in Lancaster for more than 18 years.  I retired from AEP in 1999 to spend more time selling real estate.

In 1974, after taking numerours real estate courses, I became a licensed real estate agent in Ohio and started selling real estate on a part-time basis.  In 1999, I began selling real estate on a full-time basis.  I have now been a licensed real estate agent for 36 years.

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

During the 36 years I have been a licensed Realtor I have sold hundreds of properties including land, home and commercial property.  Within the Lancaster area I have consistently been one of the top selling real estate agents since I began selling real estate on a full-time basis.

Over the years I have received numerous awards for selling real estate, but in 2006 I was voted "Realtor of the Year" by members of the Lancaster Board of Realtors.  Receiving this award has been one of the highlights of my working career.  I love selling real estate and the challenges its presents to me on a daily basis.
