About Me
Hello! I’m Maureen Cottrell, a proud Northeast Ohio native who has spent my life getting to know and love this area. I was born in Euclid, spent my teenage years in Parma, and later moved south to Medina County, where my family and I now call home.
My husband and I are blessed with four children and a growing family that includes six granddaughters, two grandsons, and another granddaughter arriving soon. Family time is incredibly important to us, and we enjoy spending it outdoors. Horseback riding, fishing, off-roading, and camping—especially in Southern Ohio—are some of our favorite ways to relax and connect.
Living in several communities across Northeast Ohio has given me a strong understanding of the region and the unique qualities each area offers. That local knowledge helps me guide buyers and sellers in making important real estate decisions.
Helping people find the right home is something I truly enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to help you find yours. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’m always happy to help.
