Community Capital Development Corporation

Styer Real Estate Professionals () is a growing boutique brokerage in Columbus, led by founder Jon Styer, a real estate investor-turned-broker who decided that helping others build wealth through real estate was more rewarding than doing it alone. After years of investing prior to earning his license in 2018, Jon built a loyal client base, earned his broker's license, and has grown the firm into a team of more than 15 agents.

Styer Real Estate Professionals works with everyone from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors. Jon also founded Styer Hospitality Co., a property management company with more than 120 furnished rental doors across central Ohio. Both companies call the new North High Street office home. The team focuses less on transaction volume and more on relationships, making the process as smooth (and dare we say enjoyable?) as possible.

To alleviate the growing pains, Jon purchased a 2,696-square-foot building at 3474 North High Street that is fully occupied by Styer Real Estate Professionals and Styer Hospitality Co. The purchase was financed through a first mortgage from Fahey Bank ( ), an SBA 504 Loan from Community Capital Development Corporation (CCDC), and owner equity - proof that sometimes, in real estate, you really do practice what you preach.

"We help clients use real estate to build wealth every day. The SBA 504 program, combined with a 1031 exchange, lets us do the same thing for ourselves. CCDC and Fahey Bank made it straightforward. Owning our space was the right move for our growing team and long-term vision of the business." - Jon Styer, Styer Real Estate Professionals

“Pouring Passion into Growth: Benfield Wines Raises a Glass to Expansion”

What started as a heartfelt gesture—Rob “The Wine Guy” Benfield making wine for his wife Julia—has blossomed into one of Swanton’s most beloved destinations. After years of perfecting his craft and encouragement from friends and family, Rob turned his hobby into a business in 2015. From a cozy 140-square-foot sunroom to the historic 9,000-square-foot Pilliod Opera House, Benfield Wines () has grown into a thriving winery, complete with a tasting room, event space, and a reputation for exceptional wines.

Rob’s hands-on approach and passion for quality have made Benfield Wines a local favorite. Sourcing grapes from California and crafting unique blends, the Benfield family has created more than just a winery—they’ve built a community gathering place. With offerings that go beyond wine, including local craft beers, premium bourbons, and even adult slushies, there’s something for everyone at Benfield Wines. And now, with demand soaring, it’s time for the next big step: expanding operations to make room for more guests and events.

To make this vision a reality, we partnered with Timothy DeCant of F&M Bank - Archbold, OH to help Benfield Wines finance renovations that will transform the historic opera house into an even more inviting destination. From relocating the kitchen for better efficiency to tapping into city water for a second-floor event space, these upgrades will help Rob and Julia uncork new opportunities for growth. We love to support businesses that turn passion into progress—because when local dreams get room to breathe, the whole community raises a glass.

"From passion project to thriving winery, Benfield Wines has something for everyone to enjoy." - Julia Benfield
