STOUFFER REALTY HITS RECORD 30% GROWTH WHILE IMPROVING TECHNOLOGY AND SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMERS AND AGENTS

FAIRLAWN, OHIO, August 26, 2013As changing real estate trends continue to dominate the news, Stouffer Realty announces a record 30% growth in the company.  Since its new headquarters opened one year ago at 130 N. Miller Road in Fairlawn, Stouffer Realty has gained 28 agents, added an office in Chagrin Falls, and expanded into Geauga and Cuyahoga Counties.  In addition, customers and agents are now benefitting from several new technologies and support tools at Stouffer Realty, including a completely paperless online document and signature system.  

 “Technology and non-traditional marketing is the ‘new face of real estate,’” Founder and Owner Gary Stouffer says.  “Much of our growth this year is a result of the training and support we offer our agents so they can successfully develop business in this changing culture.” 

Vice-President of General Sales and Operations Jim Fox explains that Stouffer Realty is already making plans to embrace the upcoming merger of the Akron and Cleveland Realtor boards in October 2013.  “We understand the importance of making real estate transactions easy for the public by adopting the NEOREX (North East Ohio Regional Exchange) contract; the new contract will provide consistent legal language across all the markets we serve,” says Fox, who serves on the board of directors for the newly announced Akron Cleveland Association of Realtors.

Stouffer Realty revolutionized the buying and selling experience last year when the company opened its newly renovated 10,300 square-foot headquarters, which houses seven independent service organizations dedicated to working together to make real estate-related transactions simple and smooth.  Consumers now have a single point of contact to secure property selection, home design, financing, title, insurance and legal.  According to Fox, Stouffer is a model for the industry because many clients are choosing to save time and money by getting all their real estate needs met under one roof.

On Tuesday, August 27th, 4 – 7 pm, Stouffer Realty will celebrate its growth and one-year anniversary in the new location with a “Summer Celebration of Success” for its 118 Realtors and their past, present and hopeful clients, as well as others serving in the real estate industry.  Fairlawn Mayor William Roth will be in attendance.
