HAGERSTOWN MD HOMES FOR SALE & REAL ESTATE
Hagerstown is located just 20 miles west of Frederick County Maryland. The city dates back to 1762 when it was founded by Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania . Jonathan Hager became known as the “Father of Washington County” after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County, which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County. The City Council changed the community’s name to Hager’s-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.
It’s easy to see why Hagerstown is one of the Best Small Towns in Maryland. Historic, downtown Hagerstown is beautifully preserved and one of the features that attracts buyers to our area. There is a large variety of Hagerstown MD homes for sale from one-bedroom condos to luxury equestrian estates. Hagerstown has the greatest concentration of six figure homes in the entire tri-state area. Hagerstown real estate has the right home for every buyer.

The internet has changed the way consumers make purchases and real estate is no exception. A recent National Association of REALTORS® survey concluded that 92% of home buyers begin their search online. The majority of these buyers will start their search on sites such as Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com and Realtor.com. However, they quickly learn not all the information and listings found there are accurate. That’s where we enter the picture.
GET REAL. GET LOCAL.
Buyers want local information and national websites don’t provide everything a buyer needs to know about a specific area. We have responded by creating a user-friendly website geared towards buyers. While Hagerstown home buyers are our primary audience, we’ve made it easy to search for all Washington County homes including the cities of Hagerstown, Boonsborro, Smithsburg, Sharpsburg, Clear Spring, Williamsport, Hancock, Funkstown, Keedysville, Leitersburg, Rohrersville and Maugansville.
As my name, Your Agent JW implies, I want to be your number one source for all your Hagerstown real estate needs. Roger Fairbourn Real Estate is not your typical real estate brokerage. Many agents in the Maryland area work 10 to 15 counties surrounding the DMV and Tri-state area, I work in Washington County and Frederick County alone.
Our services are very specialized to this area. I live in the area, work in the area, shop in the area, dine in the area and worship in the area. Needless to say, I know Hagerstown.
I have visited thousands of homes in Hagerstown. Did you know there are more than 60 neighborhoods/subdivisions found here? Not many agents even know that. With our recent boom in real estate the number of neighborhoods grows daily. Be sure you choose an agent who is well-versed in hyper-local real estate, not one who works the entire Maryland area.
SELLING YOUR HAGERSTOWN HOME
The internet has changed the way buyers search for homes. They want to view a comprehensive list of the homes available in their geographic location of interest. If you want a buyer to see your house, then the old way of marketing no longer applies. Putting a sign in the yard and hosting open houses isn’t the way to get your house the attention it needs. Buyers aren’t driving through neighborhoods anymore. Things have changed.
Buyers want instant access; not only to home listings but information about neighborhoods, shopping, dining,
recreation and schools. We have responded to their requests by creating a user-friendly experience providing them with all the information they crave.
While Hagerstown is in a hot seller’s market, you want your home to dominate the search engines. It’s not enough for your house to appear in the multiple listing service. Finding your house is like searching for a needle in a haystack. You want proactive marketing that puts your home in front of buyers. You don’t want to have to wait for them to come searching for you. New home builders have become your primary competition. You want your house to stand out from the rest. The only way to do that is hire an agent whose proven they know how to get your home in front of the right.
