COVID 19 NJ Real Estate Update
Here's a quick look at how COVID 19 is effecting the real estate market
COVID 19 has made an impact on NJ in a big way. And in South Jersey we have not as many cases of COVID 19 however we’ve experienced a severe economic impact with many businesses forced to close. Our team has continued to work from home and remotely to keep our clients safe practicing social distancing and using personal protection equipment. Governor Murphy has allowed us to show properties on a 1 on 1 basis. Open houses are not allowed at this time.
All these changes have forced us to get creative. Our home seller clients can now sell their home without ever having anyone enter it. Our eLISTING Virtual Home Selling System makes this possible. For buyer we are working as remotely as possible through our eBUYER Virtual Home Buyer System. This allows us to tour homes live with our clients while they stay in the safety and comfort of their home. For open houses we’ve moved them online. eOPEN is our Online Open House System that allows for personal face to face video interaction. These open houses are also broadcast live to social media.
We are changing the was we do business to continue to help our real estate clients safely during this challenging time. I’m available for a free phone or video conference to talk about your needs. Call or text me at 609-338-3773. Best wishes, Matt
Brigantine NJ Beach Homes
5 Reasons To Love Brigantine NJ
Brigantine NJ is not the most well knows shore town in NJ. That’s part of the charm of Brigantine. Here are 5 Reasons to love Brigantine NJ.
Number 1: The Beaches
Brigantine Beaches are beautiful, not packed, and easy to get in and out of. Brigantine also has one of the few beaches in NJ that allow 4 x 4 access to sections of the beach. Personally I spent a lot of time there one summer playing beach volleyball with the Brigantine Beach Volleyball Association.
Number 2: Location
Brigantine is located just North of Atlantic City. It’s easy to access Brigantine from Route 30 and the Atlantic City Expressway and garden state parkway. Once in Brigantine there it is a peaceful and fun retreat.
Number 3: Boating
Brigantine offers many amenities for boating lovers. Many of the homes are on the bay or cove that allows boat slips. This gives you easy access to the bay and ocean. Enjoy fishing, crabbing or relaxing on the water. Jet skiing is also popular in Brigantine. Or enjoy kayaking or paddle boarding.
Number 4: Affordability
Brigantine home prices are typically lower than some of the other shore towns. You can purchase a 3 bedroom 2 bath home in the $300,000 price range. Waterfront homes start in the $400,000 range.
Number 5: Golf
The Links at Brigantine Beach is a fantastic 18 hole golf course open year round. Enjoy ocean breezes on this Scottish Links style golf course.
Brigantine Beach has much to offer for a year round residence, vacation home or investment. We have an office located in Brigantine to help with any real estate needs there. Contact us and we’d be glad to help. Call 609-484-0890 ext. 132.

7 Tips To Choose A Real Estate Agent For Selling In Egg Harbor Township NJ
Don't hire a real estate agent in Egg Harbor Township without checking on these things first
Selling your Egg Harbor Township home is a big decision. Buying and selling a home can be one of the largest financial decisions you will make in your lifetime. Here are 7 tips for picking a great real estate agent for selling your Egg Harbor Township home.
- Talk with agents’ recent clients. Ask for a list of past clients and references from the agent your considering. Check for online testimonials and reviews.
- Check for license and disciplinary actions. You can look up agent’s NJ license numbers here: https://www20.state.nj.us/DOBI_LicSearch/recSearch.jsp
- Ask about professional awards. NJ agents receive the Circle Of Excellence Award. If the agent hasn’t earned this award in the past year they are most likely not a full time agent and have not done an exceptional volume of business. My dad and I have consistently earned this award. Last year we earned the silver and bronze awards.
- Select the right broker. The company does matter. Keller Williams Realty is the #1 selling broker in Egg Harbor Township, NJ with 263 units sold last year.
- Find out how experienced an agent is. Ask for the number of transactions the agent has had over the past year. Combined The Haviland Group had 67+ transitions sides and over $12 million in sales volume in 2018.
- Look at the agent’s current listings and sold listings. Does the agent have listings for sale in Egg Harbor Township and how many sold in the last year? Last year we sold 14 homes in Egg Harbor Township.
- Gauge the agent’s knowledge of the area. Egg Harbor Township is a unique location. It’s a large township with everything from waterfront homes, farm properties, developments, 55 and over communities and golf course properties. Each section of the township is different and you need an agent that understands this.
