NINJA CERTIFIED™

For Emily Ahlering, real estate is about both client and agent relationships and the art of the deal.

After graduating from Miami of Ohio, Emily moved to Chicago and spent several years working in hospitality and sales. In the Spring of 2015, she decided to pursue a career in Real Estate and joined Mandel Residential of @properties. Emily’s quick study and likeminded business approach allowed the team to exceed all expectations and build a business entirely based on referrals and repeat clients. Emily is still highly connected to her Chicago network and real estate team.

In 2022, after having their son, Emily and her family decided to move back to her hometown of Columbus. She is thrilled to join Cutler and the Vutech | Ruff team.

Emily’s attention to detail and experience managing many moving parts has made real estate a natural fit. An attentive listener, she thoroughly comprehends all of the different needs of her clients and works to get the results they need. With a particular interest and eye for design, she is able to assist her clients to curate spaces that maximize their dollar if selling, and envision their dream space if they are purchasing. She is committed to providing an exemplary customer service experience and is excited to share her enthusiasm for Columbus and its neighborhoods.

Emily made the whole process of selling our rental property quick and stress free. She communicated efficiently with each turn and we talked openly and honestly. Emily guided us with an abundance of knowledge and experience and showed such patience with any questions we asked. Not to mention how kind and genuine she is aside from her job makes working with her that much better. She takes the time to really form a trusting relationship and we cannot recommend her enough. We could not believe how easy this was and would strongly recommend.
Emily was incredible to work with. She was patient and understanding as we went through the process. And ultimately helped us find a home in the exact area we wanted. We couldn't have been happier.
Emily handled my daughter's transaction a couple years ago. We are both very happy with her and would not hesitate to receommend her to others.

Emily really is the best realtor ever. From the moment we first had a chat with her we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to listen to our needs and immediately knew what to search for. She helped us realize we were more open to other options than we thought and ultimately helped us get an offer accepted on the perfect home for us. It was a challenge even for the most experienced realtors out there and she met it.
Emily made our first home purchase so simple. We found our dream starter home in the first week we started looking. Emilys negotiation knowledge, natural instincts and care for her clients made this the best experience ever

We relocated from Colorado back to Ohio in the early spring and I had my eyes set on Emily as our realtor because we shared a love for old homes, interior design, and the "style" I so craved in a house. I hired Emily hoping she's help me stay "in bounds" and take the search slow, not straying until we found one that checked the right boxes. We had 5+ months of shopping and 20+ houses toured before we found ours. This included 3-4 other offers where Emily was usually spot on with what we "needed" to win. Ultimately, we ended up with the perfect house and Emily has provided DOZENS of recommendations on community tips in our new neighborhood, contractor recommendations for upcoming work we'd like to do, and her recommendations for lender, inspector, etc. were all so lovely to work with! Not to mention our home was for sale by owner, so there was extra work involved with her to navigate that transaction. Thank you so much Emily!! It was a pleasure spending 5 months searching with you!
Emily was incredibly easy to work with, and was always available for questions and advice. My wife and I always felt supported throughout our long search for a home. Couldn't recommend Emily more!

Emily goes above and beyond for her clients and made our first home selling experience fantastic! From the initial conversations through issues we had with mail delivery of sensitive items to our old address, Emily is quick to respond and dive in as a trust partner and problem solver. A major added bonus was her organization and strategy for selling the house - one of the key reasons we went with her and her team that provided access to contractors in their network and took a personal touch approach with each phase of getting the house ready for market. I cannot recommend Emily enough! She also set us up with our realtor in another city that ended up being amazing as well.

We had an outstanding experience working with Emily Ahlering and Marilyn Vutech as our buyer's agents. Their excellent communication kept us informed and confident every step of the way, and their deep market knowledge was invaluable in helping us navigate the Columbus housing market. Beyond their professionalism, Emily and Marilyn were incredibly kind and friendly, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. They went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home for our family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive real estate agents!

It was great working with Emily. This was our first time purchasing a home and she made the process very easy and understandable. She was always on the lookout for homes in our area and would regularly send us listings for us to review and ask for feedback. She was always available to answer any questions we had and was fantastic about scheduling any last-minute showings, which was great because that is how we got the house that we ended up purchasing. I would definitely recommend Emily as a realtor to any friends or family looking to buy or sell a home.
Julia Lauvina
Emily was so easy to work with! She communicated very well with us throughout the entire process and we always felt like she was supporting us in anyway. Would recommend her to anyone!
Nathan Lauvina
Emily was great. She walked us through the entire process. She's very good with communicating with us as well as the sellers in negotiating the terms of buying the house.

Emily was nothing but fantastic through our first home buying journey. As any first time homeowner knows, it can be a lot to take in but we felt like we were in safe hands through every stage of the process, and that is largely attributed to the great team at Culter Real Estate and the strong relationships they have built with local lenders, title agencies, and inspectors. We are so appreciative of the hard work put in by all to make this the easiest process for us! 10/10 would recommend this agency to anyone thinking about purchasing a home.
Isaac Alexandre Wolfe
Emily helped make our first time home buying process super simple and easy. She was always incredibly responsive and a stay ahead. We would recommend working with her to anyone looking to purchase a home!
Lane Rothschild
Marilyn and Emily are a great team and made helpful suggestions to get our house ready to be on the market. They know the German Village market and we were so pleased that our house went into contract immediately.
