Our home of the week is this sweet cabin at 4464 Tram Road in Petersburg. This recreational property just got an upgrade… a new roof! Located within Rothrock State Forest, you’re surrounded by thousands of acres of protected land. Talk about the biggest yard you can get!

Start your day with a cup of coffee on the cozy front porch, hike and fish to your heart’s content, then return to the cabin for a nice meal while a fire is roaring in the new wood stove. Complete with electricity and hot water, plus an indoor bathroom (a great perk!) you can connect with nature and still have the modern amenities for a comfortable cabin experience.

Now listed at $129,900
Buyer must be a PA resident as this is a land lease with DCNR.

Finding the things that make a house truly feel like a home is different for every single client, and that’s the part we love the most. Whether it’s a specific neighborhood you’re after, the yard big enough for the dogs and kids, the home office of your dreams, or if being walkable to cafes and restaurants is most important… we can help you find it!

If you’re in or around Happy Valley, we’re ready to sit down with you to hear your home goals and come up with a plan.

This week, our Tuesday tour was a BUSY one. We toured 11 homes through Happy Valley and each was dramatically different from one another. From a large historic home on multiple acres, to a couple of townhouses in fantastic locations for weekend home owners, some really great single family homes throughout State College and Bellefonte school districts.

We love our Tuesday tours and we love to share about the homes we see with our clients. We also love our weekly breakfast sammie stop 🥯

Want to get on our client list to hear about upcoming listings first? Send us a message and we’ll chat 🏡

Home of the week!! 🏡

Okay, so you know we LOVE Park Forest, but have you seen this sweetie? 👀

This 4 bedroom split has so many things to love. From an open floor plan to the thoughtful updates, bright natural light, to a large primary suite with two closets and private bath… it’s just lovely.

And the secluded backyard with deck and space for a campfire. Gorgeous mature trees and low maintenance ground cover. Count us in!

If you want to join one of the official coolest neighborhoods (we voted 😉) in State College, give us a call and let’s go see this sweet home together.

Tim TV talking about real estate investing and being a landlord.

Sometimes you think, “oh I’ll just buy a rental property and collect rent to pay the mortgage… easy!” BUT when things go wrong (and they will) you are the one the tenants call to fix it. Leaking pipes, pest issues, a broken window at 2am… it is now your problem.

Our advice is to have a team you trust to cover things like this. Having a property manager is a great investment and takes some of the burden off your shoulders. You absolutely need a trusted handyman to call at a moment’s notice when something breaks.

So tell us, do you currently own or do you want to own investment properties? Have you had to quickly hop into repair mode? Trust us, we’ve heard some pretty incredible horror stories! But, that 90% of the time when you’re collecting the rent and your equity is growing does make it all worthwhile.

🏡 Just bought a home? Do these 10 things in your first 30 days to set yourself up for success.

You have keys in hand and boxes of your stuff all through the house… now it’s time to protect your investment and start to feel at home!

1. Change the locks You never know who has a copy of the old keys.
2. Locate your water shutoff Know where it is before you have a plumbing emergency.
3. Find your electrical panel Label the breakers while everything is easy to identify.
4. Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors Replace batteries now so you KNOW how old they are. Set a calendar reminder for 6 months from now to change the batteries. If you don’t, be prepared for the 2am wake up call of a chirping smoke detector.
5. Buy a fire extinguisher Keep one somewhere easily accessible, especially near the kitchen. You just never know when you’ll need one.
6. Find your HVAC filters Replace them and write down the correct size for future purchases. Also good to set a calendar reminder for when to change them 🤓
7. Create a home maintenance file Keep warranties, inspection reports, receipts, manuals, and important documents together.
8. Change out the toilet seats Because…. You know. Some things just make you feel more comfortable in a new house.
9. Start a home maintenance fund Unexpected repairs are part of homeownership. Start setting money aside now.
10. Make a maintenance calendar Add reminders for filters, gutter cleaning, HVAC service, seasonal pest control, and other recurring tasks.
BONUS TIP: Don’t try to decorate everything immediately. Spend your first month learning how your house works. 🏡

This is your reminder that you do not have to wait for the weather to cooperate before you start enjoying fall. I mean, school is back in session and the first Penn State football game is this Saturday after all 🏈

Order the seasonal drink. Light the candle. Make the soup. Put something on the calendar that gives you a reason to look forward to the weekend (even if you end up sweating the whole time or at the pool instead).

We can embrace September now and complain about the heat at the same time. Or use this as a way to get ahead on your Fall Home To-do List 🏡

Just the idea of buying or selling a home can feel intimidating or overwhelming, but we want you to know…
You do NOT need to have it all figured out before you start. Honestly, most people don’t.

One of the most common questions we get from both buyers and sellers is “so, how does this work?”

The thing is, you want to make sure you have the right people in your corner who you can ask your questions, you can trust, and you know they are always looking out for your best interests. That is where we come in. We’re here to answer all of your questions, to guide you, and to have fun through the whole process. Let us take the overwhelm out of it.

If this resonates with you and you have dreams of homeownership in Happy Valley, don’t hesitate to reach out. That first question is so important to figuring out what is possible. 🏡

Tim TV with yet another special guest! We ran into our buddy Nik Stover outside of the KBB offices and asked him to join in on our hot takes for fall.

First off, woo-hoo first week of school!!! Parents, you’ve made it! Life will now balance out a bit as schedules get back to normal. 📚🚌

I think we’re all looking forward to the excitement of fall in Happy Valley and Penn State football season. There’s a different energy here, everyone is full of new school year enthusiasm, and in real estate we see a nice bump in activity for those folks wanting to spend weekends (or more) in their own place in State College.

What are you looking forward to during fall in Happy Valley?

✨Just Listed in Snow Shoe✨

📍105 W. Nectarine Street

Looking for charm and character just steps from Rails to Trails? This could be the one! Thoughtfully updated with new roof, windows, minisplits for efficient heating and cooling, as well as fresh flooring and paint.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the large front porch and head out to the backyard and gather around the fire pit for the late summer evenings. A fenced in yard keeps dogs and kiddos safe, all while being steps away from hiking, biking, an ATV path, and everything PA wilderness has to offer.
