Meet Larry Hess of TEAM SHOPE

For more than 8 years, Larry Hess has helped individuals and families navigate some of life's most important transitions through trusted real estate guidance, strategic problem-solving, and genuine relationship-building. In addition to his real estate career, Larry has spent eight years owning and managing a successful life transition and downsizing business, giving clients access to a level of support that extends well beyond a traditional real estate transaction.

Throughout Lancaster & Dauphin Counties and surrounding Central Pennsylvania communities, Larry is known for helping people move forward with confidence—whether they are buying their first home, selling a longtime family property, downsizing, transitioning to a retirement or senior living community, or managing a family estate.

What sets Larry apart is his ability to see the bigger picture. Real estate is rarely just about a house. Often, it represents a major life change, a growing family, a new career opportunity, retirement, or the responsibility of helping a loved one through a difficult transition. Larry takes pride in helping clients navigate those moments with clear communication, practical solutions, and a steady hand throughout the process.

Before entering real estate, Larry built a career around leadership, coaching, and community involvement. He served as Athletic Director at Spooky Nook Sports, worked as a scout for the Florida Marlins organization, and founded the Lancaster Junior Barnstormers Travel Baseball and Lady Stormers Travel Softball programs. Those experiences shaped the values that continue to define his business today: integrity, teamwork, preparation, and a commitment to helping others achieve their goals.

A natural connector and trusted resource, Larry has built a strong network of professionals throughout the region, allowing him to help clients solve challenges that extend beyond a real estate transaction. Whether coordinating a downsizing project, assisting adult children with a parent's move, preparing a home for market, or helping buyers find the right property, Larry focuses on making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

At the heart of everything he does is a simple belief: real estate is about people first. Clients consistently describe Larry as genuine, approachable, and dependable—someone who listens carefully, builds lasting relationships, and works tirelessly to find solutions.

Whether you're buying, selling, downsizing, relocating, or helping a loved one through a major transition, Larry is committed to providing the guidance, expertise, and personal attention needed to move forward with confidence.
