Guaranteed Sales Plan
We will sell your house, or ERA will buy it! The ERA® Seller's Security Plan allows you to purchase a new home prior to selling your current home. Contact me today to see if your home qualifies and take all the worry out of selling your home.

Mortgage Services
When you shop for anything, you naturally look for the lowest price. Why should shopping for a home mortgage be any different? Through our affiliation with ERA® Mortgage, we offer a complete line of financial packages to suit any need. Get the best price, response and service - often in minutes! Ask me about our exclusive "No Lender Fees Mortgage" today.  If you have less than perfect credit and need a niche product, we can work with that too!

Title and Settlement Services
Through our title and settlement organization - Preferred Settlement- we offer closing services at very competitive rates. Our professional settlement team guides you through the legal aspects of a closing. From the first hour of ownership, we insure your peace of mind.

Home Warranty
Let the ERA® Home Protection Plan cover you while your home is being marketed for sale and reduce the possibility of future legal action resulting from post-sale liability. If you are buying your home, a home warranty is your best protection against costly, unexpected repair bills after closing. Ask me how you can get the "Home Warranty Advantage."

Relocation Services
Wherever you move, we can help. We have built a reputation as one of the top providers in the relocation industry. If you are planning a move into or out of Central and South Central PA, our relocation professionals will make it hassle-free.  I can assure you that you will receive the service you deserve because I can personally select the agent you work with in the other area.

Senior Advantage
Whether you're downsizing, moving to a retirement home or leaving for a warmer climate, our Senior Advantage program ensures that your transition will go smoothly.  Making a transition to a smaller home is difficult.  I want to assist in helping you fit all the pieces to the puzzle together, one piece at a time.
 
My pledge to you is to provide you with HONEST PROFESSIONAL PERSONALIZED SERVICE.  I am not in this career for the short term, I am in this career for the long haul.  I plan on providing service to those members in your family as well as your friends for years to come. No one cares how much you know until they know you care.....I truly care about my customers and clients and I know how important and difficult it is to make a transition to another home.  It is not easy.  However, I promise to give your the ride of a life time.  It may be fast and furious, so, hold on. I will get the job done!  I look at problems as challengesChallenges that can be overcome with a little planning and concentration.  As we work together as a team, I will be looking for your honesty and loyalty until we arrive at the finish line........your next home.  You can be assured that I will provide you with my experience, honesty, dedication and detail to meet your needs.

I have been a full time REALTOR® since 1991.  This is not just a job for me, it is my career.  I have put my heart and soul into this professional since the beginning.  I enjoy helping people obtain the American Dream........a home they can call their own.
The market is constantly changing and I continue to learn new things everyday.  No one day is like the other and you always have to continue to increase your knowledge of the field to provide the best service for the clients and customers you serve.  Continued education is a constant activity that you just plan to be part of your yearly schedule.
As background, I have 22 years experience in the Human Resource Management,  Accounting and Marketing Fields.
Relocation is my specialty!  I enjoy introducing families to this area.  Who wouldn't, it is a wonderful place to live! I prefer to work with customers in a buyer agent capacity.  By working as "their" agent I can provide them with the best service.  In this capacity I can help them with the negotiations involved in not only price but inspections, financing, title work, legal issues, etc. that make up the steps to a home purchase. 
I believe in one stop shopping and once a customer or client comes through that door I will provide them with all the information and services they need to get them to the settlement table
"Peggy knew what home I was going to buy before I did!  I love my new home!" "I would refer anyone to Peggy!"  Linda Cubero
"Peggy sold us our first home in this area.  When it was time to sell, we called Peggy.  We had 60 days to sell it, she sold it in 3.  We listened to her and priced it right.  When we moved back to the area, we called Peggy, without hesitation".  Francis and Lisa Huppman
"I and my family have completed about 8 transaction with Peggy.  She is our family REALTOR® ." Carole Fenker
My vision is simple.  I treat people the way they want to be treated and my goal is to satisfy their housing needs.  I care about my customers and clients.  Everyone deserves to have the American Dream, the American Dream of course is to own their own home.

Owning a home now –a- days is better than the stock market.  The market is great whether you are investing in real estate or buying for your family.  It is solid equity, at least for now and the long haul looks good
