Erica’s persistence through our two challenging purchases was welcomed. The first involved a not so nice speculator and the second involved an out of state probate situation. Erica kept me informed and followed our purchases to completion. I highly recommend her and will work with her in the future.Posted on Google

We had property in Florida that we knew would be difficult to sell due to several legal issues (we do not live in Florida). Erica got us in contact with a lawyer, and walked us through the entire process. She is knowledgable and very patient! We would highly recommend her!Posted on Google

Erica is amazing at her job. We were so fortunate that she just happened to pick up the phone when we called regarding a property we were interested in. Not only did she help us purchase our new property, but she also represented us selling our property down in Melbourne. She went above and beyond on both ends for us. Traveling down to Melbourne several times for open houses, fixing things, walk thrus....you name it she did it. Her dedication and loyalty to her clients are what makes her the agent that she is. She was always there for us with any questions we had. Her communication to us on everything was spot on! Buying a new property and selling your current one can be stressful and she took that stress away for us by handing everything. Thank you Erica for all you did for us. It is greatly appreciated!

Erica was the Sellers agent when we bought our home in ocala. I’ve never seen someone so thorough and so helpful. It’s been 3 years and she still helps me with any real estate questions I have. I text her and she always responds so quickly. I appreciate her a lot. Her ability to compile info and relay information so it’s understandable is priceless. I’m very fortunate to have her as someone I can rely on.Posted on Google

About 2 1/2 - 3 years ago, I met this wonderful real estate agent named Erica Larson. I decided to move to FL after thinking it over & discussing it with my parents. I knew the process was not going to be easy, (packing, moving & job transfer, house searching, traveling to FL) especially after living in DE for several years. I started searching online, my first choice was looking in Jacksonville with another real estate agent but my experience was terrible. My second choice was Erica Larson..what a blessing/honor. It was such an absolute pleasure meeting her from the very first day speaking to Erica until the closing of my first home purchase. Erica Larson is an outstanding, professional, knowledgeable agent. Since our first conversation and throughout the whole process, she has always made sure I always felt like a priority. She went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of, from arranging inspectors, electricians, plumbers, brokers, insurance companies & etc. Erica researched potential issues with properties if any & making sure issues were corrected. Erica's negotiation skills were excellent in trying to find a best deal. Throughout the journey, she also had patience & understanding of whether if I needed additional time or information on a certain property. Erica went more than beyond, going out of her way to always answer my calls, messages, emails etc.. even if it was late at night due to my work schedule. Erica Larson was not only our realtor but a close & dear friend to my family & I. If any of my family/friends decide to purchase a home without a doubt I would recommend her. Thank you Erica for helping me find my forever home! <3 -Zeny & FamilyPosted on Google

Erica is the best realtor! She has helped me and my family throughout the years, sell & buy homes. She is very meticulous, and being extremely thorough throughout the entire process. She is the kindest, most generous and selfless person we have ever met. She is amazing at her craft and will continue to succeed!
Buyers are drawn to Ocala and North Central Florida for more space, a lower-density lifestyle, equestrian communities, access to outdoor recreation, and a broad mix of homes, farms, land, waterfront properties, and new construction. Florida also has no individual state income tax, which can be an important consideration for relocating buyers.
Ocala can offer strong value compared with many larger Florida metro areas, especially for buyers seeking more land, newer construction, or equestrian property. Actual affordability depends on location, property type, taxes, insurance, financing, and current market conditions, so it is important to compare the full cost of ownership rather than price alone.
Depending on the buyer and property, financing may include Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, land, construction, investment, or other specialty loan programs. Down payment and closing-cost assistance may also be available for qualified buyers. Because programs and rates change, I recommend reviewing current options with a trusted local lender before making an offer.
Start with the lifestyle you want: gated or non-gated, HOA or no HOA, acreage, equestrian access, 55+, new construction, proximity to hospitals, shopping, schools, the World Equestrian Center, or major commuter routes. I help buyers narrow the search based on those priorities instead of simply sending a long list of homes.
Marion County’s Farmland Preservation Area is intended to help protect the rural and agricultural character of important portions of the county, including horse farms, farmland, open space, and the equestrian landscape that makes the Ocala area unique. Land-use rules can vary by parcel, so buyers considering acreage or equestrian property should review zoning, future land use, deed restrictions, and other property-specific requirements.
The World Equestrian Center is a major equestrian and hospitality destination in Ocala that hosts horse shows, competitions, dining, shopping, lodging, and year-round events. Its growth has helped increase interest in nearby horse farms, luxury homes, acreage, investment property, and relocation throughout the Ocala area.
You can expect hands-on communication, local market guidance, property research, negotiation support, digital contracts, customized searches, and help coordinating with lenders, inspectors, attorneys, title companies, insurance providers, contractors, and other local professionals. My goal is to make the process clear, responsive, and strategic from the first conversation through closing.
Strong results usually start with realistic pricing, thoughtful preparation, high-quality photography and video, broad digital exposure, and a clear negotiation strategy. I evaluate the property, current competition, recent comparable sales, buyer expectations, and the improvements most likely to matter before building a marketing plan around the home or land.
