I work in Northeast Ohio. First Time Home Buyers and those relocating to the Akron/Canton area will be surprised at how much home one can buy for the money here.  New residents to this great area will enjoy the short drive to University of Akron, Kent State, Walsh University, Portage Lakes, Tow Path Trail, Akron/Canton Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, all less that 1 hour away.  Even Lake Erie is less that 1 1/2 hours from here...what more could one ask for.  I keep up with business news, neighborhood development, new home projects so people can take advantage of tax abatement programs when available. I study market trends, I preview as many homes as I possibly can to learn the inventory. This helps me with buyers when they give me an idea of features they are looking for in a home. It also helps me with consumers who want to list their homes because I can get a better idea of what makes my new listing with them unique, when I preview some of their competition.

Many local governments participate in First Time Home Buyer Incentives, and work with several mortgage companies who will work with my First Time buyers to make their buying experience a positive one.  I provide all the information possible to help them decide on the home they want. This is also where my listening skills come into play. What is really important to you relocating from out of town? Shorter commutes? A neighborhood with sidewalks? A suburban area just like the one you are leaving in your home state, so you can feel at home? Whatever they tell me, we back it up with a drive through some possible areas and I am the tour bus leader (minus the microphone) as we get a visual feel of Northeast Ohio.  I love showing it off and helping new residents feel comfortable here. My knowledge of market trends and sales can also be of use to new residents who don't have any idea of where to live until sort all of the possible places!
