We're excited to launch our new Zid Realty & Associates interactive real estate website.

It's now easier than ever to search for properties and get all the details you need to find the property that best fits your wants and needs.  Specialty searches have been created for your convenience, so you can easily search in the greater Youngstown/Warren area for foreclosures, short sales, new listings, new construction, and more.  Using the Advanced Search criteria provides more options to narrow down your choices.

All properties listed in the CRIS Multiple Listing System are included on our website, so there is no need to go anywhere else to search for available properties, no matter what company has the property listed.

You can sign up, save your searches, and get notified when new properties come on the market that fit your search criteria.  It's a great way to stay on top of what's new.  If you don't want to take the time to create a user account, you can also stop by our home page regularly where all new listings are updated several times daily from the entire multiple listing system, so all properties listed with any real estate company in the Youngstown area are there.

Please contact us anytime with questions, requests for showings, or for any of your real estate needs.  We look forward to meeting you!
