OUR HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY
Our history starts with a family. Work hard, stay humble, be teachable and remain grateful describes Dave & Suzanne Fisher. While a lot of change has occurred in Columbus since the late 1960s, their work ethic has remained steadfast. Their modest beginning began in a 17-foot mobile home near the Ohio State Fairgrounds, here they started both a family & a family business. Their first purchase was a four-family building on a land-contract. Some would say that Dave and Suzanne saw the future, planting seeds down in the Olde Towne East area all those years ago. But Dave would humbly say he was just 30 years early. Over the next few years, F&W properties continued to acquire properties in Olde Towne East, as well as German Village and Victorian Village. Steady growth through the years has made F&W Properties a cornerstone in the area for quality multi-family living.
As of today, we are still a family owned and operated business, managing nearly 900 units in Columbus. We also have partnerships on the campus of the Ohio State University, in Dayton, Ohio, and in several cities in Texas. The largest part of the day-to-day maintenance and capital improvements are done by our in-house maintenance teams. Our talented staff have combined experience of more than 150 years with F &W. We train our employees to think like owners, we should make them owners, and we did. Since some of our buildings have become employee-owned, we share in the owner mentality. We ask employee to keep our residents needs at the forefront of their decisions. Moreover, to have a sense of pride that comes with making a difference in people’s lives. Dave Fisher’s philosophy is still the same as it was in the ‘60s; Good people deserve great homes. Giving them a beautiful home on the outside will encourage them to create a delightful home inside.
