About Jonathan M. Lerche

Being a 40-year resident of the Southern Tier has given me a unique advantage when it comes to real estate. After earning my real estate license in 2004, I found my passion for helping sellers specifically - selling their homes in the least amount of time for top dollar and without aggravation. Buyers get the benefit of my local market real estate knowledge and negotiation skills, and I get joy knowing I have helped them find their place in our area. I am the 2021 Elmira-Corning Regional Association of REALTORS President-Elect. I have served on multiple local association committees and in an executive leadership capacity. These volunteer positions have helped me stay in tune with the highest and best practices within the real estate industry. I have stretched my leadership legs and am honored to be the NYSAR (New York State Assoc of REALTORS) 2021 Global, Resort and Second Home Markets Committee co-chair. When not serving others in my real estate capacity I enjoy giving back and fundraising for organizations such as Childrens Miracle Network, Habitat for Humanity, and The Foodbank of The Southern Tier. I have been a major supporter of the Friends of Horseheads Wrestling booster club, sponsor of the Mark Stephens Classic wrestling tournament, and The Cantata Singers. Over the years I have enjoyed volunteering as a YMCA leader, Small Fry Football coach, Horseheads Chemung Sunrise Rotary member, and served on the boards of other not-for-profit organizations. If I am not putting up real estate for sale signs or showing buyer's homes, you can find me spending time with my family and watching my two teens grow up in our community and get ready for their next adventures when they graduate from Horseheads this year!
