Russell Real Estate Services

Edith is dedicated to her field. Once she connects she finishes her task. She?s a very pleasant person to get to know. She also takes the time to listen. I would and I have already recommended Edith Ross.

It was a pleasure working with Edith. She is very professional, responsive and helpful. She assisted with recommendations to make the property more desirable and sellable. I highly recommend having her as your Realtor.

My experience with David Sleva during the attempted purchase of his duplex in Parma was extremely disappointing, and I ultimately lost trust in the transaction. We went under contract at $350,000, but after that, several important pieces of information changed or required clarification. We were initially told the downstairs tenants lease ran through August 2027. Later, we learned the last signed lease had actually expired in March 2026 and the tenants were month-to-month. We were also initially given information suggesting the furnaces were approximately 12aEUR"13 years old, while the home inspection identified both heating systems and both AC units as appearing to be manufactured around 2005. There was also confusion surrounding the property disclosure. A water-related item had originally been marked aEURoeyes,aEUR? and after we questioned it, we were told it had been checked in error and the disclosure was later corrected. The inspection subsequently documented moisture staining and drainage/grading concerns, which created even more questions for us. The tenant arrangement was another major concern. The existing lease described the downstairs unit as furnished and specifically listed landlord-owned furniture provided to the tenants. We were later told David intended to remove those furnishings when he sold the property, which raised the obvious question of what obligations we would be inheriting as the new landlords. After the inspection, we tried to find a reasonable middle ground. Instead, the negotiation remained extremely rigid. At one point, the only way a $10,000 seller credit was offered was if the purchase price increased from $350,000 to $360,000, which did not feel like a meaningful concession to us. There was also repeated pushback surrounding additional due diligence and inspection-related requests. Throughout the process, dates, tenancy information, mechanical-system information, disclosures, and other details required repeated follow-up and clarification. For a seller who is also an experienced real-estate professional, I expected much clearer and more accurate information upfront. Ultimately, my husband and I decided to terminate the contract. The house itself had many features we liked, and with a different transaction experience we may very well have purchased it. But the repeated inconsistencies and unwillingness to meaningfully work toward a resolution caused us to lose confidence and peace of mind. Based on my personal experience, I would not choose to work with David Sleva in a future real-estate transaction (especially if he is the one selling the property he currently resides in). I strongly recommend that any prospective buyer independently verify all material information, leases, disclosures, mechanical-system ages, and inspection issues in writing before entering into a contract.

I had one of best experiences in home buying. I met Edith Ross while she was the Seller?s Agent for a property I was interested in viewing. She was so attentive to her client (the Seller) that I knew that as a Buyer I wanted her as my agent. She is an excellent agent. Buying in a different market can be stressful but Edith was always available and help me maneuver through this daunting process. She was knowledgeable about the market and always had my best interest in mind. Before moving to Ohio, I bought and sold houses in Nevada, and I had a great real estate agent there. Unfortunately, he was not license in Ohio. I know what it is like to have excellent service provided by a great real estate professional (and I know what it is like to have a bad realtor too.) I wanted nothing less than excellent service when I decided to purchase in Ohio. For anyone that is buying or selling, I would highly recommend Edith Ross. I found my first house in Ohio (and a friend) and when I decide to sell it, I am calling Edith.

David always got back to us in a timely manner and was always available to show us houses ASAP. He would not waste our time on properties that would not fit our expectations. David is very personable. We enjoyed working with him.
