SNYDER & SNYDER REAL ESTATE in AKRON
View active listings.

I bought my first house in Medina at the age of 20 and my parents helped me fix it up. Just a standard remodel. I sold that house in 1978 and moved to California and bought my first Victorian house, a run-down duplex. This was my first opportunity choosing a 3-color paint scheme. That was fun but I wasnt a preservationist yet (We broke up the footed bathtub to get it out of the house!) My 3rd house (in California) was a bland ranch with no character. In 1980, after 3 houses, 2 children and one husband, I moved back to Ohio to start life as a single parent and I needed an affordable place to call home. My mom was selling real estate in Medina and it was too expensive there. We discovered Highland Square and fell in love with the area. The grant program was just getting underway, free money for fix-up and lots of other young families doing the same thing. Mom (yes, the famous Elsie Snyder) liked it so much she started Highland Square Real Estate and opened her first office at 911 W. Exchange. During the process of restoring my 1st Highland Square house on Bloomfield and her office, we met local preservationists and discovered and learned about the value and benefits to preserving rather than simply remodeling. Wed been bitten by the bug! My parents moved back to Akron from Medina in 1984 and settled on Dodge Ave. I joined her in real estate in 1984 and took over as broker in 1990 and we changed the name to Snyder & Snyder Real Estate. Mom went on to restore more than 50 units in the Highland Square area, doing much of the work herself before her death in 2000. I continue her work in spirit with fellow preservationists
