According
to My Mom
Buying or selling in Erie?
Let's figure out your next move.
Answer a couple quick questions — buying, selling, or just curious what's out there — and it goes straight to my phone or inbox. No bots holding your info, no waiting on hold.
Whatever stage you're at, this is the fastest way to get real answers.
Looking for a place
Tell me your budget, timeline, and what you're picturing. A couple quick questions and it comes straight to me — then I'll take it from there.
Ready to list
Thinking about selling? Get a straight answer on what to expect, what it might be worth, and how the process actually works — no pressure to list before you're ready.
Not sure yet
No plan yet, just curious about the market, a neighborhood, or what your place might be worth? Ask away — zero commitment, zero pressure.
Erie born, Erie proud.
I grew up around here, and I still think it's one of the most underrated places on the lake to put down roots — that's not a sales pitch, it's on my t-shirt. I work with eXp Realty helping buyers and sellers across Erie and the surrounding communities, and I try to make the process feel less like paperwork and more like getting a straight answer from someone who actually knows the neighborhoods.
"#1 Agent According to My Mom" isn't an official ranking — it's just true. What is official: I show up, answer my phone, and get things done. Hence the hashtag.
What it's like working with Ben
“Ben is the best of the best in Erie. If you're looking for someone with your best interests in mind, there's no one else to choose.”
Kevin Gardner · Google review“Ben has been such a blessing throughout a stressful process. He is kind, helpful, and accommodating — and gets things done quickly and smoothly. I'm not sure this guy ever sleeps! We are going to miss Ben.”
Courtney Seybert · Google review“Ben Smith has been trying to find a home for us for a while now, and we found one perfect for us. He was incredibly professional and never hesitated showing us a home. I can see the marketing he does to sell a house, and why he's going to be one of the top selling Realtors in Erie County. Thank you Ben for everything!”
