38 years of homeownership meant one awesome thing for Barbara and Philip; they had completely paid off their mortgage, meaning they were in a great place to buy their next home. The couple joined forces with South Jersey real estate agent Melisa Anderson to start house hunting for their new home—one which had single-level living—and it didn't take long to find the perfect rancher.

Leaning on Mel's expertise, Barbara and Philip put in a non-contingent offer on the rancher (i.e. the purchase not being contingent on the sale of their townhome). Why? Because non-contingent offers were far more likely to be accepted than contingent. Their offer was accepted mid-August 2024, and they were closed and moving in just a month later. Now it was time for the next step... selling 64 Beechnut Ct!

Mel jumped into action and hired a photographer, videographer, and liaised with the JFKLiving listing campaign manager on what she wanted to do to ensure a successful home sale. She hosted a thriving open house, door-hung the neighborhood, and sent a SlyBroadcast around to the local area to ensure everyone knew about this listing coming on the market. Multiple showings and 6 offers later, Barbara and Philip had accepted an offer and they were under contract within just 6 days of going on the market.

From their initial house hunt in July 2024, to buying their new single-level home, to smoothly selling their townhouse with ideal terms, it was just a few months. Barbara and Philip were able to take their time moving into their new house due to a 2-3 week overlap before even beginning to list 64 Beechnut Ct, and with their huge profit gain they are well on their way to a happy retirement!
