Welcome to Columbus Brick by Brick — the show where we uncover the people, projects, and ideas shaping the future of our city. I’m your host, Jon Styer, broker and owner of Styer Real Estate Professionals. Each week, we sit down with local leaders, business owners, and creatives who are building something special in Columbus, Ohio.

This week, we’re joined by Brad Clarizio, a top-producing Realtor, investor, and team lead at the Clarizio Home Team with Red 1 Realty. Brad’s journey is rooted in hustle and vision — from flipping over 50 cars as a teen, to building a real estate portfolio that now includes over 200 doors, and running a real estate sales team that closes more than 200 deals per year.

🎙️ In this episode, Brad shares:

• How flipping a $1,000 Craigslist car launched his entrepreneurial journey
• Why he borrowed $25K on a credit card to buy his first condo
• The unexpected moment that turned him into a full-time Realtor
• Lessons from building one of Columbus’s most dynamic real estate teams
• What makes Columbus an ideal city for investors and homebuyers alike
• Why he values work-life integration over work-life balance
• His long-term vision for generational wealth and mentorship in real estate
