I have been a real estate agent with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. since 2000 and a resident of Maryland for over 35 years.  I grew up in Baltimore County and graduated from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland (B.A. Computer Science). I am continually developing skills and attending continuing education classes to keep me informed of market trends to better serve my clients needs. Currently I hold the following designations: REALTOR®, Accredited Staging® Professional™, Senior Housing Specialist™ and At One with America. I am one credit shy from becoming a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). My clients’ comments and feedback have resulted in me earning various service awards. I have also received company awards for sales. I have helped organize food and toy drives as well as raise money for The Spot Youth Center and Catholic Charities. I am a member of Business Networking International (BNI), American Poolplayers Association (APA) and Sacred Heart of Glyndon.

I have experience working with buyers and sellers in both a seller’s and buyer’s market. I use an exclusive marketing plan which includes the internet, cable and traditional print advertising. Once you have made the decision to sell your most important asset, you will then be faced with getting your home ready for sale. Don’t waste time and money making changes that will not pay-off. When you list your home with me, you will receive valuable services from helping you to get your home ready for the buyers’ eye to creating a custom website featuring only your home, just to name a few. I have negotiated contracts for 7 years and know what to look for or more importantly what avoid.

I enjoy working with first time buyers since I believe in the pride of homeownership and that buyers’ interest need to be protected. It only seems like yesterday since we purchased our first home and remember all the competing emotions (i.e. exhilaration, worry, stress and others) that go along with the process of making one of the most important decisions of our lives. I help my clients make the best decision based on their circumstances and best interest. Teaching clients about the buying process, their options and their ramifications. Buyers can use my website www.ElsaCorrea.com to receive listings as soon as they come on the market, or when their price has changed all in real-time. This site can also be used to search neighborhood and school information.

As an Accredited Staging® Professional™, I have learned how to prepare properties for sale beyond cleaning and straitening. For my listing to become registered as a Staged® Home it must meet a professional set of guidelines and standards. Currently, there are a lot of houses for up for sale vying for a limited number of buyers. Therefore, houses are now in direct competition with each other. How do you sell your home in this sellers market? Staging® gives your property the competitive edge. Real estate agents will have great confidence in showing your home to potential buyers because they know it is Staged® and ready to be sold. To learn more about Staging® visit www.StagedHomes.com.
