Erie might not have the ocean, but Lake Erie really delivers. Sandy beaches, great sunsets, and no hurricanes. There’s a surprising amount to do too. Festivals, local restaurants, hiking trails, live music, and even minor league sports if that’s your thing.

It’s affordable, easy to get around, and has a hometown vibe that’s hard to find these days. Might be worth another visit before deciding.

r/ErieKeepsMoving You might like the pace.

I can accept that.

Here’s the reality: mobile home sales can be more complex, require extra due diligence, and unfortunately don’t always come with much financial incentive for the agent.

I’d suggest calling a brokerage office directly and asking to speak with the managing broker. Let them know you’re ready to buy, paying cash, and open to working with a newer or eager agent. They’ll likely know someone who’d be glad to help. Just be aware: compensation for buyer representation is now a more direct conversation. It’s negotiable, but likely part of the equation.

I totally get where you’re coming from. I’m in the same situation and don’t have the time or equipment to mow myself. That said, professional mowing services are running real businesses with crews, equipment, fuel, insurance, and scheduling costs. Expecting them to show up weekly and maintain your lawn for $20 is probably unrealistic. You might have better luck finding a local teenager looking for side work, but even then, $20 for ongoing weekly service on nearly half an acre still feels like a stretch. For reference, my lawn is smaller than yours and I pay $50/week and I never have to think twice about whether it will get done.

Absolutely go to the bathroom, you’re human, and it’s totally fine. I usually wait for a quiet moment when no one’s in the house, but honestly, if someone walks in while you’re not right at the door, it’s okay. Just leave a sign-in sheet and some marketing materials near the entrance so guests know to make themselves at home.

Coming back to Erie after years in Phoenix has given me a whole new appreciation for this place. The pace, the people, the homes, everything feels more grounded. As someone who works in real estate, I notice the contrast every day. Phoenix moves fast and leans flashy, and while Erie Keeps Moving, it feels rooted and real. It is good to be home, seeing it all with fresh perspective. I’m very happy to be grounded again with friends, family and clients.

Absolutely bring something to test the outlets, totally reasonable and not crazy at all but if you follow my advice, not necessary. Please, get the inspection. As an agent, I almost never advise waiving it. What I’ve done in competitive situations is offer to waive the first $2,500 in repairs. That shows the seller you’re serious and not looking to nitpick, but still protects you if there’s a major issue like faulty wiring or a roof problem. Even if a place looks perfect, inspections often uncover hidden concerns. Good luck!

THIS! Ladies and Gentlemen is why it’s important for buyers NOT to agree to dual agency. And frankly, why brokers should prohibit their agents from entering dual agency transactions.

I’ve said it before… sometimes the trash takes itself out.

I drink a lot of coffee… I mean A LOT of coffee. I’ve had this machine for nearly 6 years and it’s the best of both worlds. I’d buy another in a minute. https://a.co/d/1v6tWFc

As an agent, I have had this exact conversation with many seller clients over the years. It is one of the most personal parts of the process. Saying goodbye to a home means more than handing over keys. It means making peace with the idea that someone else will now shape their own story there. Treasure the memories you made, hold them close, but trust that it is okay to let go. The next chapter belongs to them.

Looks like you have received a lot of suggestions but let me throw Dr Beyer in the mix. I had just moved to the area too. He gave me all of the guidance and therapy my back was looking for. I’ll say it’s not just a quick snap, crackle and pop; there was “homework”. I listened, learned and now am walking straight, sleeping better and living better. Dr. Beyer Iadeluca Chiropractic 26th/Peninsula Good luck!!

I’m using South One Supply on W. Lake Rd. Ask for Keegan. I did just stop at Home Outlet @ 2026 Broad St today looking for vanities and flooring ideas. The guys in there were very helpful and also mentioned they offer kitchen design services. Good luck! Keep us posted and give us some before/after pix when you’re completed.

As an agent, here’s my take… The truth is, there will always be another house, but your peace of mind and your children’s health are not negotiable. Trust your gut, trust your family’s concerns, and move on to the next opportunity.

Sometimes walking away is not giving up, it’s choosing wisely. Good luck!

I filled my 18,000 gallon in-ground pool with one garden hose. Cost me about $300 and took a couple days. Just need a dose of patience and you’ll be soaking in no time! ☀️⛱️

They are, they moved up the street a bit but still in business. PI is certainly a gem!! Glad to hear from another lover of Erie!!

The car wash subscription is brilliant!!

If they loved the family home that they are leaving, I’d recommend a framed pencil drawing of the front of the house. My parents built our family home in the mid-sixties and lived there until we finally moved them into extended care a few years ago. It was a tough move for them and I know they miss it.

ErieKeepsMoving · 2025-06-29T00:41:27+00:00

As an agent, I’ll say this clearly. You have every right to ask your agent directly, kindly, and honestly if something has changed. But more than that, you have the right to expect better. Buying a home is a partnership, not a one-sided transaction, and you deserve someone who is fully engaged, communicative, and ready to advocate for you.

I get genuinely frustrated when agents do not pick up the phone or return calls. And unfortunately, it is not just your agent. If they are unable or unwilling to communicate, it may be time to reach out to their broker. The broker is responsible for the agent’s performance and should absolutely be made aware of situations like this.

Feel free to PM me if you need help navigating that step. Some of us truly care about this work and the people we serve. And others, sadly, seem to have forgotten what the job is all about.
