About Steve

Cutler Real Estate asked Steve a few questions so you can get to know him better, and here are Steve's replies. 1. What is your professional/educational background? B.A., Political Science, University of Akron Licensed Realtor/Agent since 1988 Broker since 1999 Served as President of the Akron Area Board of Realtors 2002 President CRIS MLS 2004 President of Akron Cleveland Association of Realtors 2016 2. Why did you choose a career in real estate? I've been involved in the real estate industry from a very young age as my family owned their brokerage, Merkle Realty, which my father Norman founded in 1964. I started filing paperwork, inputting listings and installing signs for my father. His dedication and professionalism showed me that Realtors play a satisfying role in helping people achieve the American Dream of Homeownership! I enjoy helping clients find their special place in a community. 3. What area do you live in currently and what do you like about where you live? Wadsworth, OH. It's a great area conveniently located within an easy commute to Akron or Cleveland. Great school system with new facilities, community owned utilities, a great mix of beautiful older and newer homes as well as a charming downtown area make Wadsworth a great place to live! 4. How do you spend your free time? Boating with my family! 5. If you could only keep 5 possessions what would they be? My Bible Boat Road bike Running shoes Jeep 6. In one word, how do you think your friends/family would describe you? Good listener helpful and patient.

Great for first time homebuyers

Steve has decades of experience in the Akron area market and provides invaluable insights to first time homebuyers. He gave us confidence during the biggest decision making process of our life up until this point. Even when our deal fell through far into the first offer we had accepted, he helped us get back up and find an even better house. Steve guided us through multiple weekend home tour marathons and accommodated our working schedules to help us find the one. We completely recommend him!

After relocating to the area (completely ignorant of the local market) and struggling to find a home for six-months, a friend referred me to Steve - he's magic. We had a couple of good strategic conversations, looked at several homes, evaluated some new areas, and WOW! Steve found us something we wouldn't have considered on the surface but has turned out to be the absolute PERFECT home ... don't know why my prior agent didn't think of something like this. Steve followed up and helped us navigate the buying process so it was virtually painless. He's both professionally amazing and personally lovely! A pleasure to work with. THANK YOU! Can't recommend enough! VJE
