OUR AGENTS
Integrity and exceptional service has been our legacy since 1997
Our agents include some of the most experienced Realtors in the area. All Stouffer agents
live in and support the communities they serve. They have first-hand knowledge about area
property values, school systems, neighborhoods, and finance options. As a result, they are
able to negotiate from a position of understanding, integrity, experience and strength in the
marketplace.
The unique spirit of cooperation between our agents is our strongest asset and the foundation of our exceptional service. Our agents are dedicated to working together as a team
always putting the good of the client above who gets the sale. We are also recognized as the
foremost agency for the marketing and development of vacant land in Medina, Summit,
Portage and Cuyahoga counties.
Together, we have helped thousands sell their existing homes and realize their dreams of
owning or building a new home. Our satisfied clients are our best advertisement.

MARKETING & PROMOTION
In today’s business world, marketing is extremely important
for brand recognition. Various new marketing avenues have
been introduced over the past few years which allow businesses
to reach a greater audience in less time. Social Media is one of
the major components in today's marketing world. Traditional
forms of marketing, such as postcard mailings, are also very
useful when it comes to informing potential clients of new
listings or promoting yourself as a successful agent.

purchases can be overwhelming. Understanding Real Estate Commission is extremely
important to better understand the business and further your career.

3 Open Houses per Month x 12 = 36 Open Houses per Year
3 Groups per Open House x 36 = 108 Visitors per Year
