Author: dauntless agent
Licensed real estate agent since 2006. This career allows plenty of interaction with people and finding them the home of their dreams is a passion of mine. I enjoy the extensive metro park system and the national parks that make up the emerald necklace of Northeast Ohio. The parks provide opportunities for favorite pastimes, such as hiking with my dogs or mountain biking on the many awesome trails in the area. My favorite way of staying fit is martial arts. Summer concerts with the Cleveland orchestra at Blossom music center is a favorite way to get my family to gather over a picnic and Playhouse square is one of my favorite places in Cleveland (I'm a sucker for musicals).

Don’t be too quick to ignore the functionality and the reliability of this basic convenience. The first rationalization might take place at the […]
Before You Leave Town…
Along with all the planning of what you’re going to do and where you’re going to stay, consider this checklist to make you feel more comfortable while you’re away from home. Ask a trusted friend to pick up your mail, newspaper and keep yard picked up to avoid an appearance of not being at home. […]
Owning Makes More Sense
When comparing the cost of owning a home to renting, there is more than the difference in house payment against the rent currently being paid. It very well could be lower than the rent but when you consider the other benefits, owning could be much lower than renting. Each mortgage payment has an amount that […]
A Word Homeowners Need to Understand
