I am working with buyers in Tredyffrin-Easttown (19312) and Malvern (19355) townships – specifically looking at purchasing a home in the Conestoga and Great Valley school districts.

Are you ready to methACTon quickly?

It’s cold outside, but homes are still selling and buyers are still active. Just because the weather is cold, does not mean that the market is not heating up.

Furry Problems

I was showing a house today in Media, PA, Delaware County, to two different clients. One was looking at single-family homes that had 3 or 4 bedrooms.
