Chippewa Township – May 1, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, one of the four largest real estate companies in the United States, today announced that it has acquired Frank Stefura Realtors in Beaver County, increasing Hanna’s presence in a growing market the company already leads with 30% of the market share of homes sold. Located in a great location on Darlington Road in Chippewa Township, Stefura Realtors will now operate under the Howard Hanna brand.

A powerhouse within Beaver County, Stefura Realtors was led by Frank Stefura, who has been in the real estate business for more than three decades. “I wanted to make sure my people will be well taken care of,” said Stefura. “Howard Hanna is a family-owned operation with upper management who understands the needs of real estate agents.” Stefura is staying on and going back to what he loves most, listing and selling homes.

“Frank and his team of professional sales associates have helped many local home buyers and sellers over the years.
