The Market Is Improving in Lake County, Ohio

I'm very glad to report that things are picking up at the Howard Hanna Smythe Cramer office in Mentor, Ohio. Just in the past couple weeks we have seen a huge increase in phone inquiries, open house numbers, and showings. The office is HOT.

To convince those who live in Lake County, Ohio, this last month, April 2008, our office sold 18 more homes than we sold in April 2007.

We've turned up the heat to "212 degrees" and are ready for your business. Don't sit and watch for the pot to boil! It's already boiling!
