Our story

Meet Alicia Archambault.

I came to real estate from an unusual path — and every step of it shows up in how we work.

I started in the appraisal world, running my family's appraisal office across the Kansas City and St. Louis markets. (They're still local appraisers today.) That's where I learned value from the inside — what a property is really worth, and why.

Then I became a nurse. Years as a float nurse, across a dozen hospital units, taught me how to stay calm and steady beside families in the middle of a crisis — something that matters in this work far more than most people expect.

From there I moved into real estate acquisitions and wholesaling, and found the work I care about most: the genuinely complex situations — the ones tangled up in lenders, servicers, and lien holders, where the system itself is the hard part. I sought out a mentorship built around that hardest corner of real estate, and founded ERC Collective — a team made for exactly those moments: short sales, liens, and distressed-property solutions of every kind.

For years, that's meant standing beside families through their hardest real estate situations and guiding them to the best possible outcome — whatever that looks like for them.

Here's what surprised me: traditional real estate has become complicated too. So we bring that same passion, rigor, and hard-won expertise to every client — whether you're buying your first home, selling, or facing something far harder. Same standard. Now on your side.

Why ERC Collective

The difference shows up when it gets complicated.

Truly easy real estate deals are rare. We built ERC for everything else — and hold every transaction to that same standard.

Built in the hard cases

ERC was forged in short sales, liens, and distressed situations. That same rigor now goes into every deal — a first home, a sale, or something far more complex.

A path when others can't find one

These situations are hard because the system is — lenders, servicers, lien holders. Understanding that maze is the whole job, and it's exactly what we do.

Steady, honest, on your side

We meet you where you are, tell you the truth, and stay with you all the way to the best possible outcome for your situation.

In their words

Someone in your corner who actually knows the corner.

“When I was going through the absolute worst time of my life I had to get rid of my house because both the heating and the water pipes burst during a blizzard back in December of 2024. … For over a year and a half had Alicia and her team been fighting with my mortgage company to get the house sold on a short sale. … I thank Alicia and her team greatly for their hard work and dedication all the way to the end.”

What you get

A search that fits your life, and a team in your corner.

Buying well isn't about touring every listing. It's knowing the market cold, moving fast when it counts, and never stretching past what's right for you.

  • Local guidance from a team that knows the neighborhoods
  • A search built around your budget, timeline, and must-haves
  • Honest advice — including when to walk away
  • Negotiation that protects your price and your terms
  • One team from first showing through closing
Start your consultation
How it works

A calm, guided path to the keys.

Consultation

We learn your goals, budget, and must-haves — and answer every question, even the ones you're not sure how to ask.

Get set up

Financing check with a trusted lender, complete a buyer's representation agreement, and a home search tuned to your life, so you only see homes worth your time.

Tour & offer

We tour, weigh the trade-offs honestly, and write an offer that competes without overpaying.

To the closing table

Inspections, negotiations, and paperwork handled — we keep it moving and keep you informed.

The keys

You close with confidence, knowing every decision was yours and every detail was covered.

Still here after

Questions about your new home, the market, or your next move? We're a call or text away for the long haul.

Start your buyer consultation

Tell us a little about what you're looking for and we'll reach out to schedule a time. No cost, no pressure.

For sellers

Sell for what it's worth, with a team that markets it right.

Know your home's true value, present it at its best, and negotiate from strength. We handle the details so your sale feels clear from list to close.

Alicia is Licensed in KS and MO

What you get

Preparation, pricing, and hard-nosed negotiation.

Great outcomes aren't luck. They come from pricing your home right, presenting it well, and having someone at the table who negotiates for you — not for a fast close.

  • An honest home valuation grounded in real local data
  • A prep-and-staging plan that maximizes first impressions
  • Marketing that puts your home in front of the right buyers
  • Negotiation that protects your price and your terms
  • One team through inspections, appraisal, and closing
Request a valuation

What's your home worth?

Tell us about your property and we'll prepare a no-obligation valuation and a plan to sell.

Distressed property & short sales

Facing a tough situation with your home? Let's find your options.

Behind on payments, facing foreclosure, or holding a property that's become a burden? A short sale, a loan modification, or another route — there's almost always a path forward, often at no cost to you. This is the work we know better than anyone.

You're not the first, and you're not alone

If there's a will, there's a way — and we're good at finding it.

Our team has spent decades helping property owners through foreclosure, trapped equity, probate, and tax liens. We don't judge how you got here. We start from where you are and build a plan around what matters most to you — a place for your family to live, your credit, your reputation, and walking away with dignity.

Help with creditors

Support with the bank, the IRS, and lienholders. Stop a foreclosure, pursue a loan modification, or simply buy more time.

Sell — even when it's complicated

Recover trapped equity, get a home valuation or immediate cash offer, or run a short sale or subject-to deal with full agent support.

Protect what matters

Probate solutions, land trusts, and asset protection. Preserve or improve your credit, protect your reputation, and keep options open.

The operational backbone

A 29-stage machine behind every file.

Short sales fall apart in the details — a missed servicer deadline, a lost document, a follow-up that never happened. So we built a disciplined, two-pipeline process that tracks every file through intake and execution, handles the paperwork and deadlines, and keeps servicers, lenders, and you moving in step.

  • Structured intake so nothing about your situation is missed
  • Every servicer document generated and submitted on time
  • Deadlines, follow-ups, and approvals tracked automatically
  • Our team focused on the judgment work — negotiation and valuation
PHASE 01 · INTAKE

We learn the file

Your hardship, the property, the loan, and the payoff or reinstatement picture — captured once, clearly.

PHASE 02 · STRATEGY

We choose the path

Hold, retail, short sale, or other available options — decided on the facts, explained to you in plain language.

PHASE 03 · EXECUTION

We work it to close

Negotiation, documents, and disputes handled stage by stage until the file reaches resolution.

What we can help with

All the tips, all the tools — in one place.

  • Stop a foreclosure & get more time
  • Loan modification & lender negotiation
  • Short sales & seller-financing strategies
  • Recover trapped equity & immediate cash offers
  • Subject-to and creative deal structuring
  • Probate, land trust & asset protection
  • Coordination with your bankruptcy attorney
  • 1031 agent-exchange guidance

Tell us what you're facing.

Every situation is different. Share a few details and we'll follow up for a no-cost, no-pressure conversation about your options.

For real estate agents and investors

Refer the hard ones. We'll take good care of them.

When a client's situation falls outside your lane — low or no equity, a complex payoff, multiple liens, a file you don't have a solution for — hand it to a team that specializes in exactly that, and keeps you in the loop the whole way.

For real estate agents

Keep the relationship, offer a viable solution. Refer complex files you might otherwise have to walk away from, stay involved, and help your client.

For investors

Bring us the deals that get complicated — low or no equity, multiple liens, files that die in pipeline — and we'll help you provide a solution with confidence.

What you can expect

Clear updates, careful handling, and a partner who treats your reputation as carefully as we treat the client in front of us.

Let's set up a referral relationship.

Tell us about your practice and the kinds of files you'd like to hand off. We'll follow up to make it easy.
