About This Site
Northeast Ohio Living is more than a real estate website. It is a curated guide to the communities, neighborhoods, and lifestyle of Summit and Portage counties. Whether you are buying your first home, relocating from out of state, or looking to right-size after decades in your family home, this resource is designed to give you honest, practical answers from a local expert who has been helping families navigate these decisions for over 30 years.
As a Certified Residential Specialist with Howard Hanna, I have built my career on long-term relationships and genuine knowledge of this market. My husband Mark and I work as a team, and we are always available to help. This site is my way of sharing what I know about the places we all call home.
