Homes don’t just sit on the market without a reason.⁣
Here’s the harsh truth 👇⁣

When I see a home lingering on the market in South Jersey, it usually falls into one (or more) of these categories:
➡️ Overpriced
➡️ Poor presentation
➡️ Lack of marketing strategy
➡️ Wrong timing or positioning

The good news? Every one of those problems has a solution.

✨ Dreaming of the perfect home but stuck in a luxury rental? Let’s be honest — renting high-end apartments might feel like a step up, but it’s holding you back.

If you can qualify to buy something, even if it’s not your forever home, that first step is everything. Build equity. Gain leverage. Move up. That’s how you get to the dream house — not by saving a few hundred bucks a month while paying someone else’s mortgage.

Start where you can. Work your way up. Your future self will thank you. 🏡📈

↓ Moving to South Jersey in 2025? Here’s what to do first

1) Talk to someone who lives here (hi 👋) I can fill you in on what it’s actually like to live here day-to-day — not just the Zillow version.

2) Figure out which neighborhoods match your lifestyle.
Do you want to walk to coffee shops? Be near water? Have a big yard? I can help narrow that down.

3) Make a short list of must-haves & nice-to-haves.
It’s so much easier to find your place when you know your non-negotiables.

4) Download my Relocation Guide.
It includes neighborhood breakdowns, pricing, schools, recs, and exactly what to expect when moving to South Jersey.

If this is your personality type...same 😅

And because I think you deserve to live out all of your dreams, please I beg...

➡️ Get a pre-approval letter in hand before ONE MORE Compass listing goes pending before your eyes.

➡️ Get set up on a custom home search (get a ping anytime a house that fits your criteria comes online)

➡️ Work with an agent who has a strong network (25% of homes sold last year never made it to Zillow... 25%!!!)

I want you to be READY 👏 TO 👏 ROLL👏 when the right one comes along.

When buyers hit a roadblock because they can’t find the perfect home, here’s what I don’t do: sit back and wait for the market to turn.

Instead, here’s how we FIND the home:

• Tap into my South Jersey network for early access to upcoming listings.
• Use social media to advertise my clients’ needs — it works better than you’d think!
• Launch targeted mail campaigns in buyers’ dream neighborhoods.
• Connect directly with For Sale by Owner properties.
• Contact investors about off-market opportunities.
• Reach out to past clients who might be ready to sell.
• Scout new construction neighborhoods for hidden gems.

Timing is everything in real estate — but waiting around? That’s not how we roll.

Looking for your next home? Let’s get proactive — send me a message!

So what actually goes into selling a house?
Let me tell you the story behind this one.

I first met my sellers in December, and we hit the ground running. By the first week of January, their home was on the market—with high-quality photos, a stunning video tour, multiple open houses, targeted emails to every local agent, and paid social media ads. Within days, we had an offer and the sellers were thrilled.

But then came the twist—
The buyer, who was relocating, requested tons of inspections and ultimately backed out after using the inspection contingency. Suddenly, we were back on the market… with days on Zillow piling up and limited visibility unless we dropped the price.

So we pivoted.
We lowered the price, added staging (since the sellers had already moved out), and rephotographed the home to show it in its absolute best light. The difference? Huge. Within days, we had multiple new offers, and this time, one stuck.

We closed on Wednesday and couldn’t be happier for both the sellers and the new owners.

Moral of the story? Marketing matters. Presentation matters. And having an agent who knows how to navigate the highs and lows makes all the difference.

✨ Real Talk: Buying a Home Can Be... a Lot

When my husband and I bought our first home in South Jersey back in 2020, I had no idea it would spark a WHOLE career change. I just knew I wanted a place that felt like us—comfortable, safe, and somewhere we could grow.

Now, helping other people find that same feeling? It lights me up.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or like you're the only one who doesn’t know what the heck an escrow is... you're not alone. I’ve got you. 🫶

Let’s take the stress out of house hunting and make it feel like the exciting chapter it should be.

📍Based in Cherry Hill, serving Camden County, Burlington County and Philly. DM me anytime 💬

#MillennialRealtor #SouthJerseyRealEstate #RealEstateWithHeart #HomeBuyingJourney #SouthJerseyHomes #CherryHillLiving #RelatableRealtor #FirstTimeBuyerFriendly

What’s the first step to buying a home?
If you said “browse Zillow,” you’re not alone — but that’s actually step 3 😅
The real first step? ➡️ Getting pre-approved by a lender.
It tells us your budget, strengthens your offer, and puts you in the BEST position when your dream home pops up (and let’s be real — homes are moving fast in South Jersey + Philly 👀)
I work with some amazing local lenders who are quick, transparent, and explain everything (without the scary financial speak).
💬 DM me “PREAPPROVAL” and I’ll connect you with someone I trust!

About the Author

Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a Cherry Hill-based realtor with a passion for helping people find the perfect place to call home. My love for real estate started when my husband and I bought our first home in 2020, and ever since, I’ve been dedicated to guiding buyers and sellers through the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) process of homeownership.

Originally from Scotland, I moved to New Jersey in 2017 and instantly fell in love with everything South Jersey has to offer. From charming neighborhoods and hidden gem coffee shops to incredible restaurants and local wineries, I’ve made it my mission to explore and share the best of the region.

Beyond real estate, I’m an avid animal lover, a coffee shop enthusiast, and a proud member of a book club that reignited my love for reading. Whether you’re looking for home-buying tips, neighborhood recommendations, or just a go-to guide for all things South Jersey, I’m here to help!

Let’s connect and make your South Jersey dreams a reality!
