Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services to host grand opening in Corry
Laban Marsh has a beaver in his office. Laban Marsh, who grew up in Corry, trapped the furry creature and had it stuffed and mounted. It sits on a table at his office at Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services in Corry and serves as his connection and commitment to the Corry community and the Marsh family’s support and sponsorship of Corry athletics. And Laban Marsh’s beaver is ready to greet visitors during a grand opening of Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services new office in Corry, 38 W. Columbus Ave.
The grand opening was held Sunday, February 12. 2012 from 1 to 3 p.m. The event featured food and refreshments, including Augie’s pizza; Ritz chocolates; prizes, a Chinese auction of Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services items, such as hats, blankets and t-shirts. “We want to have lots of people here,” said Marsha Marsh, owner of Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services and a real estate agent.
Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services closed on the purchase of the former Rice Realty in Corry in September. Although Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services is based at 8840 Peach St. in Summit Township, the real estate company serves clients in Erie, Warren, Crawford and Venango counties.
Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services is owned by Marsha Marsh and her husband, Greg; and sons Laban Marsh and Levi Marsh, who is an associate broker and works out of the West Ridge Road office in Erie. Another son, Lucas Marsh, is a sales agent at the Peach Street office.
In addition to Laban Marsh, who is a broker/owner, the Corry office will be staffed by real estate agents Don Johnson, Vicki Melnichak, Dan Clark, Crystal Ellsworth, and Erik and Char Rynders; and administrative assistant Shelly Hansen.
Since purchasing the business, it has been closed for inside renovations, including fresh coats of paint and new carpeting. The office will be open for business on Monday, February 13, 2012.

Marsha Marsh said she is excited to have an office in Corry. “Real estate is fun. This is a great time to buy a house,” Marsha Marsh said. “Corry is getting a new hospital and a new superintendent, and interest rates are really low.” She added that to be a homeowner and to have equity is a good investment.
Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services is multi-listed, meaning properties are accessible to the public. If anyone wants to search for properties over the Internet but does not have a computer, they can go to the Corry office.“If they want to come in and look on a computer, we’ll have computers available,” Marsha Marsh said.
Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services in Corry will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Agents will be available Saturday and Sunday to meet clients in the Corry office by appointment. “They can e-mail us 24/7 or text us and we’ll make ourselves available,” Marsha Marsh said.
