Congratulations to my buyers who are officially Under Contract . 🥳🥳🏡
These buyers have been patient & mindful every step of the way. We put a very specific plan in place for them.
They knew what they wanted for their first home , were strategic with the numbers & with the ‘must haves’ -touring only those home accordingly .

Their patience has paid off and they’re now on the road to home ownership!
I couldn’t be happier for them! 🙌

Excited for this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Merchantville Porch Fest is coming together — and we need your help spreading the word! Please share this post and help us make some noise!
🎶✨

To answer some of your questions:

🏡No - you don't need to have a porch to host - just some space for the music + neighbors to listen

📍Yes - you do need to live in Merchantville proper to host, not perform

🎸 Musicians of all types are welcome - whether it's your first gig or your 1,000th - a solo acoustic set or full band. We want to hear you!

🛸Official Date coming soon!

All of the facts here . Zillow can be a convenient tool - I understand why home buyers browse through it.
It’s important to understand how it works though too!

“PSA for all home buyers because I truly believe most people don’t realize this...

When you click the “TOUR THIS HOME” or “CONTACT AGENT” button on Zillow or any online search portal:

YOU are the product!
Your information is being sold as a lead to an agent paying for buyer opportunities. And 99% of the time, that agent is not the listing agent and has never seen the house either.

Most buyers assume they’re getting connected directly to the listing agent- someone who knows the property, has all the key info on the home, can answer questions, and is simply opening the door because it’s “their listing.”

Zillow is actually getting sued for lack of transparency about this exact thing.”

I know this because I’m having this exact conversation with people. Zillow is actually getting sued for lack of transparency about this exact thing. So, today is the day we’re gonna get real transparent with it on social media. 😂

Here’s what really happens when you click that “Contact Agent” button: You are being routed into their lead system. They are selling your information to a realtor. Sometime more than one realtor...

And listen… if that’s how you want to approach your home search, cool. No judgment. I’m just here to tell you what’s actually happening on the back end because most consumers genuinely have no idea.

I’ve had conversations in the past with buyers who thought they were directly contacting the listing agent. Mostly because they felt like their timing was really far out, and they didn’t want to “bug” the agent they planned on using because it seemed silly in their mind.

Well it’s not!

PLEASE bother your Realtor. That’s literally what we are here for. Send the screenshot. Text the address. Email the Zillow link at 10:42 PM while laying in bed spiraling about interest rates.

Just know what you’re opting into before clicking buttons all over the internet because you don’t know what you don’t know.

Sighed agents everywhere….

Oooooooooo - for me this is an easy choice. Believe it or not- PIZZA 🥰
Not that the other items aren’t delicious- although IMHO pizza is never wrong….
Also I’ve never had a Coca Cola cake. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ETA if this choice is a one and done- I may go with the Lobster Roll. If it’s a forever one & done- pizza .
😉

Clam Pizza 🍕🦪
A bold New England favorite—thin crust topped with clams, garlic, and cheese. Unique flavor that true seafood lovers swear by.

Lobster Rolls 🦞🥖
A Northeast classic—fresh lobster tossed in butter or mayo, served in a warm toasted roll. Pure coastal luxury.

Coca-Cola Cake 🍫🥤
A Southern dessert icon—rich, moist chocolate cake made with Coca-Cola for extra sweetness and nostalgia.

Buckeyes 🍫🥜
An Ohio favorite—peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, named after the state tree nut. Simple, sweet, and addictive.

Sometimes renting is inevitable for your situation- sometimes it can be a choice as well.
That being said, the photo below is true! You're covering the mortgage, the property tax bill & likely a small profit for someone else's pocket each month.

Renting can be a great step in your journey, especially if you need flexibility, but it’s also worth knowing that homeownership may be more accessible than it seems. With different loan options, down payment assistance programs, and flexible pathways to buying, there are more ways in than most people realize. Even if you’re not planning to move yet, exploring your options early can help you feel more prepared when the time is right.

When you buy a home, you're buying more than just a place to live. Investing in real estate turns your monthly housing cost into a path toward ownership, where each payment builds equity and increases your stake in an asset that can grow in value over time. Questions about how to get started? Contact your local agent to get a plan in place!
