Landes & Landes has the unique distinction of being the oldest Real Estate office in continuous operation in Wooster. Founded in 1905, the company originally specialized in selling farms but as the years passed and the supply of available farmland dwindled, their focus gradually shifted to serving the community's complete real estate needs. Shirley E. Dillon, GRI, began her real estate career at Landes & Landes in 1977 when she first received her license. Both sets of her grandparents had dealt with Landes & Landes in the past and it only seemed natural for Shirley to join their staff. In 1988, she purchased the agency from Harry Landes, recognizing the value becoming heir to the Landes & Landes name and tradition. As they prepare to enter their one hundredth year of operation, we visited with Shirley as she taught us about this historical company;

Landes & Landes sells all types of residential and commercial real estate including unimproved land. We're a member of the Ashland County Multi-Listing Service and the Wayne-Holmes Multi-Listing Service as well. We have branch offices in Creston and Loudenville, and are currently working with an overall team of seventeen realtors between our three offices. We serve the real estate needs of Ashland, Holmes, Wayne, and parts of Medina County.

We offer property management services that include collecting the rent, taking care of the necessary repairs and maintenance, and keeping the property rented. With our property management services, the tenants deal directly with us leaving the property owners free from the day to day responsibilities of managing their rental units while knowing that their properties are staying rented and well maintained.

Our real estate agents have met the state's rigorous licensing requirements and are constantly involved in continuing education. In addition to their required study of civil rights, court law, and ethics, they take courses and attend seminars to stay up-to-date with the most recent changes in the industry.

As the oldest, most established Real Estate agency in Wooster, we pride ourselves on giving good service and strive to provide our customers with the same type of service that we want ourselves.

When making one of the largest purchases of a lifetime, who better to ask for assistance than a company with a reputation for integrity for nearly one hundred years? Call Landes & Landes today and don't forget to tell them that The Advocate sent you!
