Kate spent several years in business-to-business sales before finding her niche in the real estate industry. Although she has experience selling in all of the Columbus neighborhoods, Kate specializes in the downtown and surrounding areas. Kate prides herself in providing all of her clients with exceptional service and loves using her knowledge of the market to help both new and experienced buyers navigate through what can sometimes be the daunting process of homebuying. A resident of Victorian Village, she enjoys spending her free time reading, traveling, and taking advantage of the convenience and many benefits of urban living!

Sarah’s love for real estate started at a young age.  Starting at the age of 3, Sarah’s family relocated from Ohio to Wisconsin.  Several state moves followed as Sarah’s passion for real estate grew.  Sarah’s background stems from an extensive background in business negotiations and positioning.  She obtained her Bachelor’s in Business from Franklin University.  She assisted in the merger of three multi-million-dollar companies, wearing several different hats in the process.  Her previous work experiences in Business have contributed to Sarah’s success in real estate.  Sarah loves working with individuals on the buying, selling, and investing fronts and cherishes every relationship developed along the way. Sarah resides in Grove City with her two children, Tagan and Scarlett, and fur babies Luna and Nova.

Born and raised in Columbus, Anna studied Entrepreneurship and Art History at DePaul University in Chicago. Over the next five years she honed her selling skills working in sales of home remodeling design, art and rare furnishings, and as a kitchen designer for bespoke Italian cabinetry at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Realizing she lacked an in-depth understanding of the appliances that served as the foundation of her designs, she spent two years working with a leading appliance manufacturer in San Francisco. It was this drive to think through challenges as holistically and thoroughly as possible and her love of helping people that led her to selling real estate in the Bay Area with Kim Cole Real Estate. After three incredible years in real estate across the East Bay, she and her partner decided it was time to move closer to family in the Midwest. Coming back to Columbus after 10 years living elsewhere has brought a newfound appreciation for this beautiful place we call home.

Anna’s strengths are her transparency, tenacity, and friendly demeanor. Above all else, she loves getting to know people and helping them achieve their goals in buying or selling a home. In her free time, you can find her hiking, reading non-fiction, tending to her garden, and visiting every flea market and vintage shop she can find.

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 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.
