  • In the blink of an eye…

    On this day 22 years ago, I joined the Tim Kerr Sotheby’s International Realty team.

    We were Tim Kerr’s Power Play Realty at the time- a small boutique agency with an office in Avalon.

    In recent years, we have expanded to 4 offices from Cape May to Sea Isle City, yet remain independently owned and operated by the Kerr family.

    Our franchise affiliation with Sotheby’s allows us to compete on a higher level with professional marketing and exposure. Our staff of experienced local experts provides a superior level of service. The best of both worlds!

    I am so fortunate to work in my home town, along side great co-workers and friends.

    The sun was trying, but not warming us much.

    Thankful for pretty views as we walked along the Avalon NJ beach on this chilly morning!

    Wave hello if you see me in my red kayak 🙂

  • Summer Rentals

    There have been a few news pieces regarding the 2024 rental season at the Jersey Shore.

    The most recent: https://www.inquirer.com/newsletters/shore/jersey-shore-rentals-boardwalk-20240711.html

    A few thoughts: Owners with repeat tenants who kept their price increases to a minimum are experiencing a solid rental season.

    Property owners new to the rental market (or those with weeks not rented by January or February) have felt the shift in our market the most.

    Adding amenities (that are ironically considered the norm in most other vacation rental markets) such as sheets and towels, some paper products, beach tags, beach equipments, etc. definitely helps. Being open to allowing a pet (with references) may also fill un-rented weeks.

    The Jersey Shore rental environment has been slow to evolve. Look how long it took for change over cleaning to be included in the rent!

    Yet we have to keep up with tenant expectations, and provide good value, in order to be competitive with other high end travel destinations.

  • 4th of July Fireworks

    We will be surrounded by beautiful displays of fireworks on Thursday night, July 4th!

    In Avalon, the barge will be located off of the beach at 30th Street.

    In Stone Harbor, the festivities will be moved back to the original location at 81st Street (the field).

  • Islandman Triathlon

    Request from Midge Kerr:

    We have quite a openings for volunteers on our bike course for the upcoming charity event, Islandman and Islandkids Triathlons in just two weeks on June 29th.

    We need to keep the cyclist safe while they are riding their bikes and limit vehicle and pedestrian crossing in front of them until there is a gap and it is safe to allow them to cross.

    Time commitment is from 7:15- 9:45am and your are assigned a street somewhere along Avalon Avenue and First Avenue. Volunteers get a tee shirt to wear during the event and custom Defeet event socks.

    Bike Course Marshals can check in and get their race gear Friday from 5-7pm, inside Community Hall, 3001 Avalon Avenue. This way, race day Saturday, volunteers could go directly to their assigned streets and avoid all the athletes checking in at the hall. If that is not an option, volunteers can still come race day from 5:30-7am and check in at the volunteer table inside the hall.

    Bike course coverage is critical to the safety and success of our event in our community. Marshals must be at least 18 years of age. There are specific streets that are open and listed on the sign up page. If you live near one of the open streets on the race course and would like to be assigned that street, please email midge@timkerrcharities.org your request. 

    Thank you!
