kick-off rally

























These photos were taken on May 3 during a tornado threat in local Lorain and Medina County areas.
On May 3, tornado watches and warnings were issued for many Lorain and Medina County areas. Though there were no major
catastrophes as a result of these threats, local weather officials remind us that this is just the start of the bad weather season. Local
photos show the dynamics of what happened in our skies on May 3, so now is the time to be prepared for what could happen if a
tornado should touch down in your neighborhood, like the one that touched down in Eaton on April 25.

Whether they’re buying appliances, books, clothing, or any
of the myriad necessities of daily life, consumers have a

Marketing Institute found that sales of fresh foods comprised

The 7 Most Common Questions Sellers Ask Me

Selling a home can be an overwhelming process but my goal is to make it as stress free as
possible while delivering concierge level service. When I meet with a seller, they have a lot of
questions. I wanted to take a moment to address the 7 most popular questions I get asked when
I meet with a seller.
1. When is the best time of the year to sell my home?
Right now! Many people think that June is the best month to sell their home and right now
I’d agree. We have a major shortage of homes for sale. There are literally buyers lining up to get
into people’s homes. Some of them even sold their house last year and are living in temporary
housing arrangements while they try to find their dream home! Buyers that want to move when
school is out are already starting to look for a new home and if they need to sell their home before
they can buy it allows them time to get the process started as well. In addition, buyers are also
starting to get their tax refunds and rates are jumping a little so many buyers want to buy now
but then need houses to buy!
2. What is a seller’s market?
A “Seller’s Market” is when there are 0-3 months of housing inventory available for buyer’s
to choose from. We are currently in a strong seller’s market. A “Balanced Market” is when there
are 3.5-6 months of housing inventory available. In most of Lorain, Cuyahoga, and Medina
Counties we have less than 1 month of housing inventory available.
3. How long until i have to move?
Fre until you turn over the keys it will be about 45-60 days. Right now, since it is a seller’s market
