“This review has been long overdue! I worked with Alfath last year to purchase an investment property in Columbus, Ohio, and had a really good experience. Being an out-of-state investor, I needed someone who knew the local market well and could be my eyes and ears on the ground. Alfat did a great job with that, including visiting the property, recording videos, and helping coordinate everything remotely. What I also appreciated was his local network. He connected me with a property manager, lender, inspector, and attorney, which made the whole process much easier, especially since I wasn’t able to visit the property in person. Overall, it was a smooth experience, and I would definitely recommend Alfat to anyone looking to purchase an investment property in the Columbus area, particularly out-of-state investors.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Merriman Valley show steady movement in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are up a bit from last year while new listings have actually declined, yet homes sold have jumped by nearly half year over year and pending sales are also running higher, pointing to strong buyer follow-through.
Time on market and supply levels suggest conditions favor sellers but with some balance emerging. Median days on market sit at about 40, unchanged from a year ago, while months of supply has fallen sharply over the past year to under three months, signaling limited available options compared with demand.
Pricing is responding in a measured way to this mix of tight supply and solid sales. The typical home value is roughly flat year over year, even as the median list price has climbed more than 20 percent and the share of homes selling above list has edged slightly lower, and compared with Akron overall, Merriman Valley’s prices sit noticeably higher with similar months of supply, so local expertise really matters for both buyers and sellers, and Agent Pronto can connect them with the right agent to navigate these dynamics.

We have been in our house now for a month and absolutely love it. We are so grateful to have had someone with so much insight, knowledge and care for what he does. Most definitely recommend!”
“Nick helped me sell my home after I moved out of state. He went above and beyond to check on the house multiple times, meet with potential buyers, and set everything up, making my life super easy. He took care of all the small things and made sure everything was in order before closing. I recommend him 100% and will be referring him to all my friends in the area that need help buying or selling a home.”
“Adam was professional and was easy work. He had a thorough approach to the sale of our home and helped us through the process the entire time. He was quick to return texts and keep us informed. I would highly recommend Adam to everyone wanting a great experience selling their home.”
“Brian was amazing. My husband & I had never sold a home before. He was very patient and explained each step of the process. He had so much knowledge and experience to make this emotional process as smooth as possible.”
“Nicole was great in helping me sell my shaker home! She was very knowledgeable and helpful getting me I higher selling price than I expected. I would definitely work with her again.”
“Working with Andy Bourn was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He showed us homes in Stow, Kent, Akron, and Tallmadge and helped us understand the pros and cons of each area. His knowledge of the Northeast Ohio real estate market, strong communication, and negotiation skills made the entire process smooth. If you’re looking for a top Realtor in Summit County, Andy Bourn is who you want representing you. We cant thank him enough. Andy will definitely be our forever realtor.”
“Josh was very professional and considerate of our situation when we look for a house. We were 3hrs away and he would find more options for us to look at during our trip.”
“Zach did a great job showing me homes that I was interested in and was very helpful through all stages of the home buying process. Zach was easy to contact and got back to me very fast with any questions I had.”
“Michael helped me and my family find our forever home to raise our children and make memories in. Our home wasn’t one that was even on our radar and he found it and we trusted him even though we were unsure after seeing the listing. Upon seeing the house we were immediately in love and knew it was the home for us. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have this home and for that we are forever grateful. He’s extremely personal and I really would recommend him to anyone and everyone.”

She helped my family through the entire process. Great at marketing homes as well as communicating effectively with perspective buyers. We will for sure recommend Nicolette to friends and family.”
“Amanda is everything we could've asked for in a realtor! We were intimidated to buy our first house in the current market and didn't know what to expect. Searching in the Kent/Tallmadge/Stow area while still living in Columbus, it could have been incredibly difficult to see houses before they were already under contract, but not when Amanda Edwards is your real estate agent! She blocked off her Friday evenings and Saturday mornings for weeks in a row to accommodate our travel schedules & show us houses in person. She was incredibly diligent and booked our showings the moment houses hit the market so we were sure we could get the time slot we needed. She offered to do virtual walk-throughs on any homes that we couldn't get up in time to see. And she was so positive & encouraging throughout the whole process! Now we are all moved into our dreamy new house in Kent and couldn't be happier. It was such a gift to be connected to Amanda and we could not recommend her more highly to anyone buying or selling in the area!”
“My experience with Agent Pronto was better than I ever expected. My agent was great! She was always professional, always available, and she made any bump that came up smooth and easy. She had all the local contacts needed to get my property ready to sell. She did a great job presenting the property to potential buyers, which resulted in a quick sell. I would recommend Aimee and Agent Pronto to anyone! They are a great team! Thank you ALL!”
“Mrs. Dodge was amazing and despite a hostile market found us an immaculate house in a good location at a great price.”
“Amee was my blessing in disguise. I could not have done this without her help and support. During my time with Amee, she went above and beyond to help me and be my guide both in my selling and buying process. She was and still is a very caring, supportive and genuine person. Her professionalism, customer service and attitude made this process a success! I am so grateful for her and the entire team! Thank you everyone!”
“We started off selling our primary residence. Anthony was such a pleasure to work with that we gave him our 2nd home to sell. Our first home sold in 1 day and the 2nd house sold in 2 days. Sam runs a tight ship and has a great marketing strategy. After searching through a pile of frogs, Anthony found the hidden gem that we will be calling home. In addition, he helped our son find an amazing home as well. The photographer does an amazing job capturing the beauty of our homes. The home flyers are so professionally structed. I hope we never move again but if we do, we will definitely work with the Lofaso Team again. Thank you Anthony, for putting up with us, you are a class act.”
“I used Rick as my Real Estate Agent when purchasing my new home. He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable in every step of the process. He kept me informed of any delays or updates regarding my new home. He also was extremely knowledgeable about how everything works such as, FHA rules and regulations, inspections, appraisals, and contract conditions. What I like most was he was always available when I had any questions or concerns. I felt so great about how I was treated as a client I decided to use Rick to sell my house as well. I know I will continue to use Rick as my agent in the future too.”
