Our History

“A name you can trust since 1952”

Our office is fully staffed with high energy professionals who are always enthusiastic, capable and available to handle our clients needs.

Brokers Michael J. Petkus Jr. and Molly Petkus have  combined experience in the real estate industry of over 50 years and have consistently provided an Award Winning level of service. We are positioned for future growth as part of one of the nation’s largest and oldest real Estates franchises. Through the most innovative technology and support tools in the industry, ERA Petkus Weiss, Real Estate, is able to offer true one-stop shopping including mortgages, title, property management, home warranty, and relocation. Since 1952 the Petkus name has been a familiar name in the Dayton area. The Children of Lithuanian immigrants, the parents of Mike Jr., Alice and Michael Sr., founded their company in Old North Dayton where they were realizing their “American Dream”. Their success was attributed to their reputation for personal service, integrity, trust and experience and that tradition continues, delivering the same high standards upon which the Petkus name was built. Mike joined his parents company, A & M Petkus Realty in 1967 until 1971 when Michael and Molly established their real estate company, Mike Petkus Associates, which prospered for several decades when they joined forces with the Real Living network,then known as HER, in 2001. In the early 1980’s when Mike Sr. and Alice retired, we merged our companies. In 2019, our grandson, Brandon Weiss , joined our business after graduation from Ohio State University. Brandon immediately hit the ground running with building his book of business and making plans for the future. We made the decision to join the ERA network in 2020 believing that this would give us a great platform for Brandon to continue the family legacy. Through the ERA franchise, we are now able to offer licensed agents the support and value package that is unsurpassed while at the same time providing the same standards of excellence of service to our clients as in the past.  Currently we carry 10 agents on our roster, including Mike and Molly, as well Brandon Weiss (our grandson) and Uwe Weiss (Brandon’s Dad). Mike’s sister, Mary is one of our Administrative Assistants and works in our Property Management Division.

Truly a family owned and operated business since 1952!
