Dairdre Scriven

As a Queer Black REALTOR®, mother, and lifelong Columbus resident, I know firsthand how hard it can be for marginalized communities to access safe, affirming, and informed homeownership support. Bloom614 represents the kind of radical care, visibility, and community accountability our city needs. I believe in its mission because it doesn’t just talk about equity—it actively works to close the gap by educating, empowering, and standing beside Black and minority buyers every step of the way. That’s the kind of work I’ve built my life and business around.

Is there anything else you would like me to know about you?

In addition to being a REALTOR®, I’m also a longtime educator, artist, and community advocate.

Whether you’re buying your first home or navigating complex life transitions, I’m here to help you feel empowered every step of the way.
