Spring is here!
The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.
In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.
This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.
If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.
Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

"She was always available for us and usually a few steps ahead with following-up with potential clients and proactively communicating with us. We would highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a high-qualified and professional realtor."
"Our sale was a difficult situation for a number of factors and Shelley made the process as painless as possible. After a number of more difficult realtor situations, we finally found the right fit and are very satisfied with our experience."
"The entire process went very smoothly. We worked directly with Shelley Stone who is just excellent – a great listener, smart, does her homework, is creative, very good communicator and timely in her contacts with us every step of the way. She was so enjoyable to work with. In summary we would recommend the group and Shelley to anyone selling their home. Within 72 hours of the listing, we had 3 offers on our home."
