I wanted to share some exciting news as we kick off the new year. The real estate market is buzzing with optimism, and 2024 is poised to be an exceptional year for both buyers and sellers. With favorable trends and promising developments, I am confident that we will witness exciting opportunities in the housing market. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to chat more about the current market and how you can achieve your real estate goals this year!

I also wanted to share some highlights from last year as well. 2023 was a remarkable year for me!  Helping nearly 20 clients, I was able to successfully close more real estate transactions in a single year than ever before!  I qualified for Ohio Realtor's President's Sales Club for the second year in a row.  And I hit my cap for the first half of the year, allowing me to earn 100% commission on FIVE closed sales.  

My third annual fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Mahoning Valley in July was a huge success!  Together, we raised $750 and collected 792 pounds of food for the organization.  I hope to increase those numbers even more this year!

In addition, I added another in-person event for my clients, friends and affiliates to attend - a Cookies & Cocktails event in December!  I am grateful to say that event had a great turnout!  Attendees were able to enjoy some snacks, drinks and Christmas music while visiting with others.  Then, they chose from over 20 kinds of cookies that I baked, to assemble their very own cookie tray to take home and enjoy during the holidays.  I will definitely plan to make that an annual event, as well!

This was my first year serving on the Board of Directors for the Mahoning Valley Young Professionals group.  It has been an incredible opportunity to get to know like-minded, motivated young professionals from across the Mahoning Valley and to participate in fundraisers and events to benefit the community, such as the Potential Development Pizza Cook Off.

I was also honored to be nominated for their 25 Under 35 Young Professionals of Mahoning Valley, alongside a group of inspirational individuals in varying industries.

I served my second year as the chair of YCAR's Young Professionals Network, which was filled with fun events and volunteer opportunities.  Though I will continue to participate in YPN events in the future, I have graciously handed over the chair position to fellow Burgan agent, Terra O'Brien for 2024.  Terra and I traveled together to Chicago in August of 2023 for the NAR YPN Advance, where we networked with agents from all over the country and learned valuable lessons to help our group grow.  Now, in 2024, I have been appointed as the Chair for Ohio Realtor's Young Professionals Network.  I will sit on several committees at the state level this year, in addition to serving on the Board of Directors at YCAR.

And I enjoyed countless classes and team building events with the Burgan Bunch, including a year-end business planning course with nationally renowned real estate coach, Jeff Glover!

On a personal note, I got married in October and am thrilled to start this new chapter of my life with my wonderful husband, Dan.  We had a small but lovely wedding at the historic B&O Station in Downtown Youngstown (stay tuned for a full review of that venue!).  As a result of my recent marriage, my name has been changed to Haley Beachler. I'm excited to continue to serve my clients and my community under this new name, with the same great level of care and professionalism.

As we embrace this new year and the endless opportunities that may come with it, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued trust and support. My goal for 2024 is to assist at least 35 new clients with their real estate needs. This is a rather ambitious goal, so I will need your help to attain this! If you know of any friends, family members, or colleagues who are looking to buy or sell a home in the coming year, I would be honored to work with them. Your referrals mean the world to me, and I am dedicated to ensuring the same level of exceptional service for anyone you recommend.

Thank you for being a valued client and friend, and for entrusting me with your real estate needs. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead filled with prosperity, happiness, and beautiful moments!

Closing Day is always an exciting milestone for sellers, buyers and realtors...  But this sale was a little extra special for me!

Though I've had the pleasure of selling houses to/for several close friends, this is my first sale that was for "family"!  Many of you may know that my boyfriend, Dan, and I have been dating for over twelve years.  While we aren't actually married (or even engaged....), we have long considered each others' families as our own.  So, when I had the opportunity to list my "in-laws" home, of course I jumped at the chance! 

It was definitely a unique experience to sell a home that I'd spent so much time in!  I knew how special this home was to it's current owners, and I was hopeful that prospective buyers would feel the same way.

Sure enough... within less than two days of listing their home, we received multiple offers!  After choosing the offer with the highest price and the most appealing terms, it was time for these clients to get packing!  

As Summer quickly turned to Fall, we tackled contingencies and negotiated repairs.  The whole family helped with packing, moving and moral supprot.  Before we knew it, closing day was right around the corner!

Less than two months later, we finally crossed the finish line and closed this sale on October 29.  Selling for more than $24,000 over asking price, I think it's safe to say I've secured my spot at Thanksgiving dinner!  

Fun Fact:  Not only were the sellers my "in-laws", but the buyer was her Realtor's mother-in-law as well!  It was a true 'Family Affair'! :)

November 1, 2021

Last year, the most wonderful couple moved in nextdoor to us for a few months, before buying their forever home.  Though we were sad to see them move (all the way to Austintown), we were grateful to have created some fun memories with them in the short time they lived nextdoor.  One of my favorite memories we made with them was exchanging "Boo Baskets" last Halloween.  We surprised each other with spooky snacks, a little "Boo"-ze, and even some treats for our four-legged friends!  It was so much fun to be "Boo"-ed last year, that I decided to continue the tradition this year - and to include some of my fabulous clients and closest friends!  

I spent a couple of weeks collecting items for my Boo Bags.  Halloween themed candy and snacks, hand sanitzer, fall flavored Seltzers and Burgan branded merch made up the contents inside.  And I found these fun, reusable bags to put everything inide of.   Before I knew it, it was Halloween weekend and I had a dozen Boo Bags ready to be delivered! 

With so many stops to make in such a short time, I recruited my mom to help me stay on track during delivery day.  She diligently updated our list as we went and she helped me navigate through countless construction detours along the way.

We really enjoyed seeing everyone's beautiful fall decorations!  Mums, pumpkins, wooden signs and seasonal doormats made us smile at nearly every stop! 

But some decorations were just plain scary!!

 It was such a fun day and everyone seemed to enjoy their spooky surprises!  Making - and delivering - Boo Bags is definitely a tradition I intend to keep for years to come.  :)

1805 East Western Reserve Road, Unit #56, Poland, OH 44514

Buying a house, or condo, can be a little overwhelming.  The thought of choosing the perfect place, where you'll reside for the foreseeable future, can understandably cause significant stress.  Some buyers look for months before finding the right home, and that was the case for this buyer. 

After looking at numerous condos and single-family homes, she started to worry we would never find the perfect place.  And then, one day in early September, we saw a listing for a condo in the desirable Hampton Ridge development in Poland.

As soon as we walked in, we knew it was "the one!"  With high ceilings, an open floor plan, and a large, enclosed sunroom, my client could totally envision living at this condo.  Plus, they are dog friendly!  

Just over a month after having our offer accepted, we closed on this sale on October 26.  My buyer is so excited to start moving, decorating and hosting her family here for the holidays! 

Of course, I had to give her a few little 'treats' to help her celebrate!  Cheers - and congratulations - to my awesome clients on the purchase of this amazing Poland home.  :) 

3484 Tall Oaks Lane, Austintown, OH 44511

After nearly a year since my initial appointment with these clients, the time had finally come to list their family home for sale.  They had worked so hard to prepare the home for sale, by cleaning out personal items and making minor repairs and cosmetic updates.  

Once we listed the home on September 5, there was immediately a ton of interest from prospective buyers!  Showings were scheduled throughout the week and, before we knew it, we had received multiple offers.  We were under contract on September 10th.  

Working through inspection negotiations and finding someone to remove the pool table were some minor challenges that arose.  But with great communication, compassion and timeliness - we got it done!

Closing the sale on October 26, it was wonderful to see that all parties were satisfied with the results of the transaction.  My sellers accepted an offer $7,000 above their asking price and the buyers received a new, high efficiency furnace to get them through these chilly, Ohio winters!  Everyone was reasonable, amicable and patient throughout the transaction and it truly made for a smooth, stress-free sale! 

And, fun fact:  The new owners - as well as their Realtor - are former co-workers of mine, from when I was a server at Magic Tree Pub and Eatery in 2016!   All four of us are pictured in the photo above.  :)  This transaction definitely warmed my heart and I congratulate all parties involved!  

973 North Road SE, Warren, OH 44484

Great Value Alert!!!! 

Despite having just constructed a brand new front porch, the motivated sellers of this three bedroom ranch home in the Howland LSD have just reduced the price as well!  Now listed at just $93,500, this home has so much to offer for a steal of a price!

If you're looking for first floor living on a nice, large lot... look no further!  The already adorable curb appeal of this home has been recently upgraded, to include a BRAND NEW front porch (August 2021)!  

Explore the modern aesthetics inside, starting with the eat-in kitchen, which features updated vinyl flooring and a functional galley style layout. Appliances are negotiable!

Exit the family room to the two car attached garage in front, or onto the large, wooden deck in the rear, which overlooks a beautiful, fenced in backyard and shed (shed and deck are equipped with electric service.)

Here's a recap, for those curious:

They deliver! Ordering online, the wait time said one hour.  But to my surprise, it was here in about half the time!

We ordered one traditional style pizza with cheddar cheese.  The pizza sauce is quite sweet, but I really enjoyed it.  

We also got one deep dish pizza, which was also very good; we ordered it with red potatoes, spinach and carmalized onions.  It does not have an upper crust like some deep dish pizzas do, but the crust is very thick and fluffy.

We ordered both pizzas well-done and they were pretty much perfectly cooked imo.

The Capone dipping sauce is not super spicy but has a good flavor and creamy consistency.  Tbh, it kind of reminded me of Little Ceasar's, in terms of taste and packaging, but I am a sucker for sauces and enjoyed it nonetheless.

My only real critique is that the toppings were a little sparse.  But I'm sure you could request extra!

All in all, it was a great experience!  I would definitely order from there again.

The Canfield Fair is among the most highly anticipated events of the year for many Mahoning Valley natives.  From 4H festivities to the Demolition Derby, there are plenty of reasons to look forward to at the fair each year -- but I'd be hard-pressed to state a reason more compelling than all of the incredible fair FOOD.  Being a longtime vegetarian, I do miss out on some traditional favorites, like gyros, corn dogs and stuffed peppers.  But I certainly have my own guilty pleasures... and here are my five must-haves!

1.  Lemonade 

Nothing can quench your thirst on a 90* day quite like fresh squeezed lemonade!  Does anyone else refer to them as "Lemon Shake Ups"?  No?  Just me?

2.  Cavatelli Bread Bowls

Carbs don't count at the Canfield Fair.... right?!

3.  Caramel Apples

Get your daily serving of fruit with these super nutritious snacks!  Candy, Caramel or Chocolate covered - doesn't matter, I like them all!

4.  Authentic Fair Fries

Drowning in vinegar is the only way to eat fair fries.  Change my mind.

5.  Molnar's Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls may not be exclusively "fair food", but there is something about the way Molnar's family concessions serve up these sweet and sticky treats at the Canfield Fair that makes me feel like fall is right around the corner.

Which fair food tradition do you look forward to each year? 

Former VP of Operations at Whistle and Keg Latest to Join Burgan Bunch Realtors®

Canfield, OH (August 5, 2020) It is no secret that as a member of the Burgan Bunch, we like to have fun.  From Mystery Bus Rides to Commissions and Cocktails, we work hard and we play hard.  At some point, we've all been at a local watering hole in the Valley and thought, "I want to own a bar…that'd be fun," but we go back to our passion of finding better doors for people to open in the form of new homes we deliver.  But for Haley Luckage, having worked in the craft beer industry for the past three years, she interacted with customers from all over the world and she thought, "I want to offer people more than just great craft beer recommendations.  I really want to make a difference in the lives of people I know."  So, instead of just saying what she wanted to do, she did it - and she is now the newest addition to the Burgan Real Estate team.

Luckage, a native of the Mahoning Valley, is a graduate of Austintown Fitch High School.  Upon graduating from Fitch, she went on to earn her B.S. degree in General Business from the University of Pittsburgh.  After several years of traveling the country, she returned to her roots here in the Valley and eventually rose to becoming the Vice President of Operations for Whistle and Keg, Ohio's premier self-service brewery and beer hall located in three cities in the state, including it's first location in downtown Youngstown.  Her success and oversight into effectively running the operations of this establishment inspired her to seek an opportunity offering more flexibility, freedom and ownership in her already extensive and successful career.  She found the perfect fit by putting her talents to use as a Realtor® and becoming the latest member of the Burgan Bunch. 

"As a real estate agent, the operational processes and steps that go into selling or buying a home for our clients are not only vast but complicated," said Patrick Burgan, co-owner and broker at Burgan Real Estate.  "It is important to find people who know how to multi-task and can manage the unexpected with a positive attitude that keeps our clients calm, happy and confident.  Haley is an individual who brings these characteristics and much more to our team.  We are excited to see the impact she will have on our Valley and raise our glasses to her joining the Burgan Bunch."

While Haley has worked relentlessly on crafting her own skills in management, operations, communications and customer service - skills that will undoubtedly help her excel as a Realtor® - the support of her boyfriend, Dan, her friends and her family, especially her mother, Jane, has helped her immensely along the way and serves as a constant reminder that success is a team effort.

When she's away from her career, Haley likes a quieter approach to life.  Whether it be gardening, reading books, or tasting the latest concoctions from local microbreweries, she finds time to unwind with the people she loves.  A smile is constantly on her face and we are still trying to figure out if that is because of the three adorable pets she comes home to each day or if it is because she is still glowing over her favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, winning the Super Bowl last year.  We actually think it is just because of her excitement to be with us!

"When you run a bar or brewery, it is important to remember that people are not just coming for the products you sell, they are coming for the experience - to try new things, connect with other people and become a part of a community.  I saw how Burgan Real Estate does more than just buy and sell homes.  They strive to make their client experiences better and to build genuine, lasting connections with members of our community," said Luckage.  "As a Realtor® at Burgan Real Estate, I know I have found a place where I can not only leverage my skills to help others, but I can do so with a company that celebrates life, success and the satisfaction of their clients." 

Haley, the entire Burgan Bunch raises our glasses to you.  We welcome you to our family of real estate agents and look forward to seeing the impact you will have on our community, our company and the clients who will always be glad they called you to find their new home.  And to make you feel at home, we say to you:

"Here's to you and here's to us, as we raise our glass of beer or punch.  We welcome you to a better life, career and start as the newest member of the Burgan Bunch!"  Welcome to the team, Haley!
