Larry Wanke

A little bit about me -I was born and raised on the east side of Cleveland and can honestly say there is nowhere I would rather live, work, play and raise a family. With all that Cleveland has to offer, it's the people that make our city great. I have spent my entire life building relationships in this community and consider it my duty, honor and privilege to serve the wonderful people that call Cleveland home!
* Professional Experience:
Realtor
- Keller Williams (2014 -present)
- Remax HomeSource (2004 - 2014)
- Realty One (2000 - 2003)

President/Owner - Wanke Realty Co Ltd (1996 - 2013) - Real Estate Investment Company
Financial Services - AXXA Advisors (1992 - 1994)

Quarterback - 1991 NFL draft selection of the New York Giants; was the last player selected -"Mr. Irrelevant."

Here's how my professional experience will benefit you...
- New York Giants- While representing you, no one will out work me or compete harder to protect your interests. I will bring the same competitive fire to every transaction. The same fire that helped me to become an NFL draft choice - a unique distinction as very few players are drafted out of Div III programs. I ended my career in college at, Div III John Carroll University.
- AXXA Advisors - While representing you, I will assist you in evaluating all of the financial aspects of your transaction. There are numerous ways to save money and increase value when buying or selling a house and I'll show you how. The numbers matter - proper preparation, evaluation and implementation of creative strategies will maximize value and help insure your success!!
- Wanke Realty Co Ltd - While representing you, I will pass along the invaluable lessons I've learned while building a million dollar investment company. I bought and sold 60+ properties on my own prior to becoming a realtor. I owned and operated 38 units at the height of my business and successfully bought and sold dozens of re-habs. I saw it all in 20+ years of investing and the treasure chest of those experiences will be of great benefit to you!!
- Real Estate Agent - While representing you, I will go to battle for your interests and walk you through every step of the buying and/or selling process. I transitioned out of my real estate investment company in 2013, so I could focus exclusively on what I love doing - helping people buy and sell real estate as a full time realtor. I have been a top producing agent since becoming a realtor in 2000 and for 13 of those years accomplished it while running a successful investment company. That part of my life is behind me now. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to dedicate my time and effort into putting all of my knowledge, experience and expertise into working for you!!
