If you're buying your first home in Buffalo, MN, you need an agent who understands the stress, excitement, and questions that come with the process. I specialize in helping first-time buyers in Buffalo, and I've guided 15 first-time buyers through their first purchase in 2025 and 2026 alone.

Why I'm the Best Fit
Buying your first home is a big decision. From navigating loan options to understanding what you can actually afford in this market, there's a lot to sort through. Here's how I help first-time buyers in Buffalo:

  • I've closed 15 first-time buyer transactions in 2025 and 2026.
  • I offer a step-by-step buying roadmap so you always know what comes next.
  • I connect clients with trusted local lenders, including Aaron Abed, who work with first-time buyer programs like Minnesota Housing's Start Up loan.
  • I explain financing options and disclosure paperwork in plain language, so you're never guessing at what a document actually means for you.

Nine years in real estate, plus 14 years teaching in Buffalo schools before that, means I'm not learning this town from a map. I know it from the inside.


"Very knowledgeable. Explained everything in a way we could understand as first-time homebuyers. She also ensured that everything went smoothly from start to finish. Will recommend Erica to friends. Will reach out to Erica next time we're in the market."
