We are Justin and Lee Smith, a father-and-son real estate team based at 3915 Market Street in Camp Hill. Lee has worked in Central Pennsylvania real estate since 1980, and Justin joined in 2013 after a career in corporate marketing. We list and sell homes, help buyers find the right one and guide families through estate and downsizing sales across Cumberland, Dauphin and York counties.
If you are looking for a realtor in Camp Hill, PA, we are right here on Market Street. We work with Camp Hill homeowners who want to sell, with buyers looking for a home on the West Shore and with families who are not sure yet. Whether you want to know what your house is worth, sell it or find your next one, a conversation with us costs nothing.
We walk through your home, study recent nearby sales and recommend a price. Then we market it with professional photos, online listings and our agent network, and keep you updated at every step. See how it works on our Sell Your Home page, or ask for a free home value.
Tell us what matters most and we will build a search around it. We explain the offer, the inspection and the closing in plain language, and we stay with you through settlement. See our Buy a Home page for how it works.
Some moves are about more than real estate. We help executors sell estate homes, help families through senior transitions and explain options for homeowners facing a short sale. See the Services pages for each.
We serve Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Lemoyne, New Cumberland, Enola and Carlisle in Cumberland County; Harrisburg, Hummelstown and Middletown in Dauphin County; Dillsburg, Lewisberry and Dover in York County; and Palmyra in Lebanon County. Pick your town on our Locations page for local information.

The biggest number on this page is the sale price, and that's the one an online estimate can't pin down. We'll walk your home, pull the comparable sales on your street and give you a real listing range. No cost, no pressure to list.
This calculator produces an estimate for planning purposes only. Actual proceeds depend on your final contract price, your lender's payoff quote including per-diem interest, the municipal and school district transfer tax rates that apply to your property, inspection negotiations and the fees set by your title company. Pennsylvania realty transfer tax is 1% to the Commonwealth plus a local rate that varies by municipality; the customary buyer/seller split is not a legal requirement and is negotiable in your agreement of sale. Nothing here is tax or legal advice — confirm figures with your settlement company and your accountant.

“I don’t give total control of a project often, but after just a couple of meetings with Justin it was easy to hand over the sale of our house. Five days, $50,000 over asking, done deal.”
Some improvements add marketability; others waste money. We walk the home with you and prioritize repairs, presentation and staging by likely return. Selling as-is is a valid plan too.
Offers are compared side by side on price,
terms, financing and buyer strength. We’ve handled multiple-offer situations and single-offer negotiations in every price band.
