Built by Investors, For Investors
At Stewardship Realty, real estate isn’t just our profession—it’s our lifestyle.
For over 20 years, our founder Merle Miller has been buying, selling, managing, and growing real estate portfolios throughout Northeast Ohio.
Like many of you, he started as an investor frustrated by commission-driven real estate agents and boilerplate advice. He saw a clear need for something better: a real estate company built by investors, for investors.
That vision became Stewardship Realty—founded in partnership with our broker, Meredith McCartney.
Together, we’ve built a real estate agency that prioritizes strategy over sales pressure, and long-term trust over short-term wins.
We proudly serve Akron, Canton, Wooster, Massillon, and surrounding communities.
We’re More Than Just Real Estate Agents
We’re active investors, buyers and sellers ourselves. We’ve managed everything from tenant turnovers and property maintenance to market analysis and negotiation strategy. That means we’re not giving you canned answers—we’re giving you insights backed by experience.
Our real estate professionals provide:
- Residential and commercial real estate services
- Strategic investment property analysis
- Property listings and home search support
- Full-service property management
- Honest guidance for first-time buyers and seasoned sellers alike
We also assist with real estate appraisals, property valuation, and preparing homes for sale or rent.
Our Real Estate Mission:
Equip you with transparent, data-driven insights
- Eliminate pressure and “sales pitch” tactics
- Prioritize long-term results over quick commissions
- Treat every client, resident, buyer or seller, the way we would want to be treated.
Whether you're exploring Akron investment properties, buying your first home in Wooster, or selling a rental in Canton, we’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward confidently.
Why Clients Trust Stewardship Realty
We’ve earned a reputation in Akron, Canton, Wooster, and Massillon for being agents who speak plainly and deliver strategic results. People come to us because they’re tired of fluff. They want real guidance—from professionals who’ve been through every stage of the investment life cycle.
We don’t strive to be the biggest real estate brokerage around, but instead the one you can trust in the most. Our clients know we’ll tell them the truth, help them run the numbers, and do what we say we’ll do.
