CEO, Jessica Woodbeck, Justin Woodbeck, Natasia Metz, & Mark Metz

TROY, Mich. (Oct. 28, 2026) Thrive Realty Co., an independent, training-first real estate brokerage with its Headquarters in Troy, Michigan, has opened its Northeast Ohio office at 3725 Cleveland Massillon Road in Norton, Ohio. The office opened in August 2026 and serves buyers, sellers and agents in Summit County and the greater Akron and Cleveland area. It is led by Natasia Metz, Broker, Thrive Ohio, and gives agents and the community a local place to thrive.

"We're not here to put up a sign and leave. We're bringing the same training, the same standards and the same support we built in Michigan, and we're here to be part of this community," said Jessica Woodbeck, Founder and CEO. "Natasia leads with heart and holds a high bar. That's exactly who we wanted building Thrive Ohio."

When you work with a Thrive agent in Ohio, you're working with someone who completes 20 continuing-education credits a year in contracts, negotiation, systems and competency. Ohio agents join the Thrive Operating System, can earn Gold, Platinum or Diamond certification each year, and follow a four-year advancement path from Foundation to Mastery.

Thrive agents also work in the Thrive App with AVA, Thrive's AI-powered performance partner. AVA helps agents prepare for listing appointments and practice objection handling.

"If you're an agent in Northeast Ohio, you want and deserve more than a desk and a logo. You deserve training, systems, leverage and a leadership team invested in your growth," said Natasia Metz. "At Thrive Ohio, we're committed to offering outside-the-box training for agents who are tired of hearing the same stories in the same sessions. We do things differently, giving our agents the support, resources and leverage they need to succeed. Our buyers, sellers and neighbors deserve that same care, and I'm proud to lead it here."

Both the Troy and Norton offices include a podcast and media room for agents. Thrive's Headquarters in Troy also has a 24/7 gym and Kids Corner, a kids room where agents who are parents can work alongside their children.
