  • Storm Re-cap

    The water has drained, and all roads are dry 🙂

    It was a soggy few days with moderate to major bayside tidal flooding in the usual locations throughout the island.

    The beaches also took a hit with erosion. As is common from a Nor’easter, the north end of the island experienced the most damage.

    Both municipalities are busy today cleaning up the debris left behind, and blocking off the affected beach paths for safety reasons.

    Overall, we were fortunate…and ready for the sun to return!

  • Changes…

    While sitting with sellers last week as they signed off for their upcoming settlement, we talked about our LONG history together.

    They purchased their property through me 34 years ago! I joked that I had patiently waited for that “flip” 😉

    As I think about my 45 years in the real estate business, it’s amazing to consider what has changed…and what basically remains the same.

    Technology is the most obvious change. I thought faxing contracts was hi-tech back in the day! Now it’s all e-signatures and scanned documents.

    Our Multiple Listing Service used to distribute actual books every 2 weeks- and only to the participating real estate offices. Today’s buyers, who have full access to information via Zillow and Realtor.com, can’t fathom this limitation.

    Marketing our listings has evolved from ads in the Philadelphia Inquirer, to posts on a variety of social media platforms.

    Cell phones, apps, emails, and texts allow for more immediate access to all parties in a transaction.

    So what’s the same?

    My office location has always been within a 3 block radius on Dune Drive- with 22 years in my current space. I’m very content with my view of Hoy’s 5 & 10 across the street!

    Relationships: technology has not eliminated my role in the buying, selling, and renting process. Customers value my experience, knowledge and resources. The island is my life long home. That local perspective can’t be found on Google!

    Owning a vacation home is a lifestyle decision, not just a monetary transaction. Yes, real estate is a solid long term investment, yet almost equally as important, is the emotional value for the whole family.

    I am here to help you and your friends in the Avalon and Stone Harbor area, and appreciate your referrals!
