Don't Settle for Average When Buying Your Home or Investment Property.  Get Top Tier Representation.

 Imagine needing hand surgery.  Who could you consult, a general practitioner or a highly-skilled hand surgeon with years of experience and proven results?

Buying a home, likely your biggest financial asset, deserves the same level of expertise.  Here's why:

      • A staggering 70% of agents sell five or fewer homes a year, according to a Consumer Federation of America study (January 2024).  That translates to limited market knowledge and negotiation experience, potentially costing you tens of thousands of dollars.
      • The Don Petrasek Team consistently ranks in the top 5%-10% of agents nationwide, based on transaction volume.  We have the proven track record and market knowledge to deliver exceptional results. 
      • In 2023, we handled 7 times more homes than the average Cleveland agent, and over twice as many as the average agent in our own high producing office.  You deserve experience that goes above and beyond.
