We’re glad to welcome Mark Platts to Catalyst Realty Group, and we’re excited to have him on the team. Mark grew up in Leeds, England, where his dad’s work in the building trade gave him an early interest in houses, and he bought his first investment property right out of college. He has bought and sold several more since, so clients thinking about a rental or a first investment property will be working with someone who has made those same decisions with his own money. If you’re weighing your next move or just want to talk through an idea, Mark would be glad to hear from you. Learn more about Mark at https://catalystrealtors.com/about-us/mark-platts/

We're pleased to welcome Mike to Catalyst Realty Group. Mike spent more than 15 years in IT, managing systems, networks, and cloud services for businesses that depended on them every day. A lot of that work came down to understanding how one part affects everything else, an investment property works much the same way. Rents, expenses, financing, tenant turnover, and the condition of the building are all connected, and Mike is good at seeing how they fit together before a client commits.

Mike still owns and runs his own IT consulting business, so he looks at real estate like a business owner. He understands budgets and cash flow, and he knows a property can look good on paper and still fall short once the real numbers come in. For investors, that means having someone who can help evaluate deals, think through long-term costs, and weigh potential return against risk. Whether someone is buying a first rental or adding a small multi-family building to their portfolio, Mike brings an analytical approach to the conversation.

That same approach works well for homeowners and business owners. Every property decision is an investment of some kind, and Mike helps clients across Northeast Ohio look at the full picture before they move forward. We're glad to have him on the team.

We're happy to welcome Amber to Catalyst Realty Group. She got her start in property management, and somewhere between the leases and the maintenance calls, she found her love for real estate. Akron has always been home for Amber, and after some time away she came back for the reason so many of us do: nothing quite beats the feeling of home. Her experience and local roots make her a valuable addition to the team, and we look forward to the great work ahead.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign…. here it is. 😉

This fall, The Signature Group and CRPM came together to become Catalyst Realty Group, a full-service real estate brokerage with our office in Fairlawn, Ohio. Our name is new, but our service, our people, and the way we approach every conversation are the same. If you have bought, sold, or managed property with either business before, you will still be working with the people you already know. The only thing that has changed is the name on the sign.

So what can you expect from Catalyst Realty Group? On the sales side, you can still count on us for residential sales and listings, along with investment properties ranging from single-family rentals to small multi-family buildings and light commercial. We can now also offer leasing and property management through CRPM, a division of Catalyst Realty Group LLC.

CRPM currently manages more than 700 properties across Northeast Ohio, along with several homeowner associations. A number of our agents work on both sides of the business, handling real estate sales as well as leasing. For clients who already own rentals or are building a portfolio, that means one place to go for buying, selling, and property management.

What hasn’t changed is how we work and what we believe in. Good real estate decisions come from clear information and steady guidance, not pressure. That’s why we put so much into education for both our clients and our agents, and it’s also why we share local market data and practical insights here on this page.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us along the way. If you have questions about the change or want to talk about how we can help, we’re always happy to have that conversation.

Northeast Ohio's housing market stayed strong through the first seven months of 2026. Active listings grew every month, and homes kept selling fast: 31 days on average regionally in July, down from 51 days back in January. Median sale prices climbed to $280,000 regionally (up $50,000 since January).

Mortgage rates did tick up, from 6.10% in January to a July average of 6.54%, so buying power has tightened some even as sales activity hit its highest point of the year. July also brought the first real uptick in supply after months of tightening, which is worth watching as we head into the second half of the year.

All figures are regional averages from MLS Now and Freddie Mac; your situation may look different depending on price point, location, and condition.

If you're thinking about buying or selling in this market, we're happy to talk through what these numbers mean for your specific situation.
