Canfield, OH (March 16, 2021) – In marriage, you take an oath to be with one another through every step of the journey two individuals encounter together. For better or worse, in sickness and in health. It may not always be easy, but together, the journey will always be, well, better. George and Ann Wallace not only made that commitment to one another in marriage but, together, are making that commitment as the newest Realtors® joining the team at Burgan Real Estate.

Both natives of Youngstown Ohio, George and Ann met and began their careers together February 19, 2002. They became the best of friends and married February 19, 2018. Together, the two have enjoyed years of happiness, including raising 4 children and 2 dogs. While they are devoted to one another, they remain devoted to their faith as well, both being active at Victory Christian Church. While being a partner to one another and parents to four children is a full-time occupation in itself, the two also shared a...

(March 10, 2021) Canfield, OH – For some, being a Realtor® is something that is learned about after years of being a professional in other industries. Cultivating and trying your hand in another line of work only to see that the talents one possesses, and opportunities being sought out are only attainable through a career in real estate. For the newest member of Burgan Real Estate, Marvin Hershberger, growing up helping a real estate agent with the properties he had for sale was not only rewarding as a young boy, but gave him a vision for what he now looks to accomplish as a Realtor® with the Burgan Bunch.

Born in West Farmington, Marvin's history in the real estate industry started when he was 11 years old. Hershberger would assist a local real estate broker with yard work that would need to be done on listings, making sure the for-sale signs and properties were maintained. After he was done, he would sit with the broker and discuss the work and the houses over a cold g...

A friend once told me that, "Urgency is the ante to play." I wish I would've known that growing
up because I've always played The Waiting Game. Playing the game to see if I can wait others
out, wait for the stock to drop a little bit or just wait to see if something better comes along. Now,
while that strategy has definitely paid dividends in waiting to find my wife (huge brownie points
right there), it isn't the best strategy in real estate.

In today's real estate market, The Waiting Game is something you're gonna lose if you end up
playing it. Homes aren't lasting long on the market and money is cheap given interest rates. So,
if you're sitting on the fence wondering whether or not if now is the right time to act upon either
listing or selling your home, I've got a simple piece of coaching for you: don't wait!
You see, The Waiting Game is not for the faint of heart when it comes to real estate right now.
Waiting to buy a new one can have serious...

If you've been watching the real estate market lately, houses are selling faster than the new PS5 at the holidays, or Cabbage Patch Kids if you're more in line with my generation. The simple laws of economics are wreaking havoc on the market. With money being so cheap to acquire through financing due to all-time low interest rates, the demand for homes is insane. Homes are being listed at 9am and not even making it until lunch time before they are already under contract in some cases. With supply levels not meeting the demands of the market, your home just might be what someone is waiting to purchase. Here are a few things you should expect to expect when listing your home for sale in today's environment with a trusted Realtor®.
PRE-INSPECTIONS RULE
Of course, you think your home is perfect. It is YOUR home! However, as you prepare to list your home, buyers are going to be looking for any excuse to negotiate a strong position by pointing out the blemishes you may not know abo...
