Melissa Crockett Willis ... everything you wanted to know, but never thought to ask:

While some of you may have been raised in a bilingual household, so was I ... well, sort of.    In my home, the second language was real estate, and, it was growing up that I vowed I would never, ever enter the business.  (I know, I know ... famous last words.)   I was born and raised in Mentor, attending St. Marys of the Assumption and Lake Catholic High School.    I graduated from John Carroll University in 1986 with a degree in Business Economics and Statistics.    I soon married my high school sweetheart, Tim and ... (you guessed it!)  ... became a Realtor®.

Every day, my excitement and passion for the industry grows.  Over the years, I have enjoyed success as a member of the top real estate team in the company and one of the top 50 teams in the country.    While the success as an agent was rewarding,  I found the most most fulfillment in helping other agents achieve unprecedented levels of success.  Over the last 12 years, in addition to being a full-time Realtor®, I was a trainer for Star Power Systems, teaching University style classes, such as Listing Specialization, Buyer Specialization, System Implementation, Team Training and Business Planning.   After years of study, I also became a Real Estate Coach, coaching agents from around the country to even greater levels of success.   I have have been honored to speak at many company meetings, state conventions, CRS Sell-A-Bration and the National Association of Realtors® Conference.

While I have worn many different hats in the industry over the years, there has been one thing that has remained constant ... my company ... Howard Hanna Smythe Cramer.    Why would I want to go anywhere else?     Howard Hanna Smythe Cramer is the nation's 5th largest, privately owned Broker and Northeast Ohio's Number One Broker.   As a full-service brokerage,  we offer buyers and sellers the convenience of One Stop Shopping (Real Estate, Mortgage, Title & Escrow and Insurance), a 100% Money Back Guarantee, Exclusive Marketing Tools and more.   Howard Hanna Smythe Cramer Company also offers what everyone is looking for in today's market ... a solid reputation, a rich history and a century of experience.

Now, as Manager of the office, I am thrilled to bring my experience in real estate sales, training, coaching to the agents in Mentor.    Whether you are a buyer, seller or an agent,  you can be confident that we will roll out the red carpet for you in the Mentor Office.    We want you to experience the Howard Hanna difference ... and we want to create raving fans!

I often wonder if history will repeat itself as I now have three daughters who grew up in a 'bilingual' household ... Brittany, a junior at Marquette University;  Korrey, a freshman at Duquesne University;  and Brooke a sophomore at Lake Catholic High School.   While they all have unique personalities, they share one thing in common ... they have vowed to never, ever become a real estate agent.   I just smile.

Make it a great day!

Melissa
