Joe Holland

I believe in Bloom614 because their mission is essential: to change generational experiences and create an achievable homeownership path for Columbus’ Black and minority communities. This dedication to equity and opportunity aligns perfectly with my personal mission. I am passionate about simplifying the journey for first-time buyers, ensuring the process is never a 'scary monster.' Just as Bloom brings transparency and critical guidance to every step , I work aggressively to remove financial barriers. My focus on securing low or zero down payment solutions—which has helped 75% of my buyers—is a direct, actionable way to increase opportunity and dismantle the capital constraints that block the creation of generational wealth in our community.

No additional language, but every client comes with a unique background and a unique idea of what ‘home’ means, and I believe my job is to honor that.

Yes.

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

I absolutely love helping first-time buyers! My mission is to make the entire process simple and fun. I always tell people that buying a home isn’t the ‘big, hairy, scary monster’ everyone thinks it is—it’s an exciting milestone! In fact, over the last three years, about 75% of my buyers achieved their goal without needing a down payment. My wife and I even bought our own Columbus home with zero money down, so I know firsthand that these programs work. Let’s make your home ownership dream a simple reality.
