When you're ready to buy, ManageOhio residents who work with an MDC Realty or Express Listed agent can receive up to $2,000 in closing cost assistance at closing. Pair it with our free rent reporting to build credit while you rent, and meet with a local lender for a no-cost pre-qualification on your timeline.
Every ManageOhio resident is automatically enrolled. No extra paperwork, no opt-in fees.
Your benefits go live on move-in day. Access everything from a single page on your resident portal.
