November 16, 2020 (Canfield, OH) – If you're into the art of thrift store shopping, you know that hunting for treasures and "finds" can be very exhausting. From location to location and item to item, each journey presents its own set of challenges and rewards, some of them leaving you empty handed. However, the rewards greatly outweigh the obstacles, as you patiently evaluate, search and, ultimately, find something that is better than you could have ever imagined.

November 10, 2020 (Canfield, OH) – Many individuals today look for the easiest way to get what they are looking for in life. Whether cutting corners or not having to traverse around any corner, we are constantly looking for people who realize and appreciate that the greatest rewards are those that are given because of the work put in to achieving the goal. In real estate, that requires someone who is dedicated to doing what needs to be done and realizing the role they play is about something much bigger than the immediate fruits of their labor. That's why we are excited to welcome, Braxton Wessell, as the latest Realtor® we have added to Burgan Real Estate.

In high school, his commitment, dedication and hard work eventually lead him to pa...

Canfield, OH (October 20, 2020) – Have you ever played the game when you were a kid where you would spin a globe and wherever your finger stopped it, that's where you would live? We all would hope for a place where we would find happiness, opportunity and a location we would be able to call, "home." For Ashley Montalvo and her husband, they were looking for a new opportunity to raise their family and start a new life together. When the globe stopped, Youngstown was their destination. She and her family excitedly moved to Northeast Ohio and we are excited she did, as we welcome her as the newest member of our family of agents at Burgan Real Estate.

Montalvo was born and raised on the East Coast in Rhode Island. The smallest state in the country could not contain the huge dreams and opportunities that awaited her. She was an influential team member with a telecommunications company as a quality assurance specialist. It was there she realized her ability to be part of a solut...

Derrick McQueen has always been a person who has sought to leave the world better than how he found it with each step, which is why we are excited to have him apply this to our team as the newest REALTOR® with Burgan Real Estate.
