TL;DR
Pagoda Realty ERA Powered announces a strategic partnership with Lime House Real Estate, combining approximately 75 agents. The partnership allows Lime House Real Estate to operate as Lime House Real Estate ERA Powered, gaining access to ERA's technology and marketing resources.
The partnership brings together Pagoda Realty’s approximately 50 affiliated agents and Lime House Real Estate’s 25 sales professionals, creating a combined organization of approximately 75 agents. Stringer, a top-producing agent himself, recognized the opportunity to bring together the two brokerages, which share complementary strengths and a similar entrepreneurial, agent-focused culture.
Through the partnership, Lime House Real Estate will operate as Lime House Real Estate ERA Powered, maintaining its local identity while gaining access to the ERA® network’s suite of technology and marketing resources, lead generation opportunities, and national referral network.
Sergio Mannino, who has played an instrumental role in establishing Lime House Real Estate in the region, will remain an integral part of the organization, continuing to serve his clients as an active real estate professional while providing leadership and support to the growing York-based operation. His continued involvement will help maintain the relationships and culture that have defined Lime House Real Estate.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Sergio and the entire Lime House Real Estate firm into our organization,” said Stringer. “This partnership combines the experience and established foundation of Pagoda Realty with the energy, talent, and growth-minded approach of Lime House. Sergio has built a tremendous reputation, and we’re excited that he’ll continue to play an important leadership role as we grow together. We’re confident that this partnership will provide tremendous value for agents across both organizations.”
This strategic partnership is the latest step that Pagoda Realty ERA Powered has taken to pursue continued growth and strengthen its regional footprint. Over the past year, the company has affiliated with the ERA brand, relocated to a new, state-of-the-art office, and introduced additional resources to support its agents. The partnership with Lime House continues to build on that momentum, bringing together two organizations committed to collaboration, innovation, and exceptional client service.
The combined brokerage will serve clients across York, Lancaster, Philadelphia, Dauphin, Adams, Cumberland, Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, Berks, Schuylkill, Lebanon, Northampton, Bucks, and Lehigh counties. With expertise spanning residential sales, investment properties, and commercial transactions, clients can benefit from enhanced service across a wide range of real estate needs.
