A Family Dedicated to Helping Others

You may not know the Weeks family, but Sarah, Kevin, and their six children are known for their willingness to help others. Kevin was an unpaid youth pastor at his local church, as well as a community handyman and auto repairman for anyone that truly needed help. Sarah is known in their community as a woman of faith that will pray for you, as well as bring her six little ones to help in any way that is needed.

The Diagnosis

Kevin Weeks, at the age of 32, was diagnosed right before Christmas 2019 with neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma, an aggressive cancer that attacked his pancreas and liver. After a fierce battle, together with his courageous spirit in his fight with cancer,  Kevin Weeks passed into glory and into the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ. Kevin passed on September 27, 2020 and is survived by his wife, Sarah, and their six children.

The Plan for a Home

Before cancer struck, Kevin was planning to purchase a home for his family that he was going to renovate, since he was a carpenter by trade. He and Sarah had a plan to have their dream home in Estell Manor, NJ by this September. They started investing financially in that home right up until Kevin got sick. Since then, they have been unable to complete the renovations or save the agreed upon amount to purchase the property from the current owner.

Help the Weeks Family 

J19 Foundation is asking to help raise the funds needed to purchase and renovate a home for Sarah and their six children. Kevin and Sarah have brought hope to many when it mattered most; now it’s time to call upon anyone who is willing to return the same to this family in need.

How will COVID 19 Affect Real Estate In South Jersey?

First of all we want to extend our sympathy to those who have been personally affected by the COVID 19 virus.  We also would like to express our support to those who have lost jobs at this difficult time.

As of today Governor Murphy announced that all non essential businesses should close and work from home.  At Keller Williams Realty we are honoring this request and have already made preparations to work remotely.  Our staff and leadership team will continue to work remotely from home.  Our affiliated title company is also prepared to work from home and handle closings remotely.

We anticipate our scheduled closings to close on time and are communicating with our clients on any potential delays.

For new seller clients we have initiated a Virtual Home Selling Service.  We will take new listings including video tours without having to come to our client’s home and without any buyers having to come in their house.  We have also implemented a virtual live open house strategy to further promote our listings on social media.

For our home buyer and seller clients we have implemented video conferencing for all meetings.  We also have a Virtual Home Buying Service to help our buyer clients navigate through potential homes and neighborhoods without having to leave the comfort and safety of their home.

Is now a good time to buy or sell real estate in South Jersey?  The answer is it depends on your circumstances.  We are offering phone or video consultations to help you determine if this is the right time for you.

We are committed to help our clients with their real estate needs and add value to their lives.  We pray that everyone would stay safe and well.

Richard, Matthew, Linda Haviland

P.S.  Is there anything we can support you with?  If we can help we will.  If we can’t we’ll let you know or do our best to connect you to someone that can help.

Atlantic County, NJ Real Estate Market Update 2020

Here is a look at the Atlantic County real estate market.  We will break out single family homes, condos and take a look at adult communities.


For single family homes, New listing were up in December, closed sales were up and median sales price was up by 22.6% to $225,000.  Inventory was down by 4.7%.

For condos and townhomes new listings were up 40% and median sales price was up 31.8%.  Inventory went up 10%.  Recent changes allowing FHA spot approvals should open up more financing options for condo buyers and also help contribute to increased condo prices.

For adult communities new listings rose by 42.9%. Days on market dropped by 60% to just 33 days on market.  Median sales price decreased by 21% for the month.  In general the adult community home prices do mirror the rest of the market so a few lower priced homes sales may have led to the drop in prices for the month.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home please contact us for a complimentary Pin Point Price Analysis and Room By Room Review.

FHA Approved condos, Atlantic County, NJ updated for 2020

Here is a list of FHA approved condominiums in Atlantic County, NJ

Here is a list of FHA approved condominiums in Atlantic County, NJ.  Based on findings at HUD.gov. Financing for condos with an FHA loan can be challenge.  Under the revised guidelines – which took effect Oct. 15, 2019 – an individual condo unit in a building of 10 units or more may be eligible for spot approval if no more than 10% of the units are FHA-insured.  So even if a condo is not on the FHA approved list it may still be eligible for FHA financing.

If FHA financing is not an option there are other choices include USDA loan (100% financing), and some banks do offer a 3% conventional loan.  Contact us if you’re interested in financing a condo purchase.
