A home for many people is their biggest investment or potential investment. So choosing the right person to list your home for sale is important. Where ever you are things have changed, especially with Main Line Philadelphia Real Estate. Here are 10 tips to bear in mind as you select the right agent to not only list your home but to sell your home. The size of the broker is irrelevant! Yes, it is shocking but true. The internet has leveled the field not just for retail, travel and other industries but also in real estate. An agent from a small brokerage with specific skills on the Internet can achieve better results than an agent without those skills at a large brokerage. Also buyer agency means that any agent from any broker can sell your home and represent their buyers in the negotiat...

Whilst I could be talking about the inventory of homes along the Main Line for buyers to consider, actually I am talking about where to go for Valentine's Day with your significant other. Every village and town along the Main Line outside of Philadelphia is stuffed, literally stuffed with restaurants to go, most of them are good, some are excellent, with appropriate pricing. Most cultural tastes are catered for, there may be a lack of vegan restaurants but you can always find something to eat at either Chinese, or Indian. Whether it is Bryn Mawr, or Exton and all points in between you can have big noisy restaurants or small intimate space. Using Devon as a base Yelp came up with several suggestions locally, Wayne has Teresa's and Teresa's next door, The Great American Pub, Matador, Xila...

"We do not want to gain at someone else's loss; we want to gain while helping the other person to also gain." — Jose Silva:  Many people today want the first part of the quote above, they want to crush the opposition, take no prisoners and be acknowledged as the winner. But in our business and in representing our clients the latter part is far more beneficial. It reminds me of the Zig Ziglar quote about achieving success through helping others achieve what they want. Negotiations whether in a buyers market or a sellers market are all about helping both sides reach a consensus that the deal works for both, it may not give each side everything they want but it does help each side come to the table and accept the deal they got. You never know when you might need to go back to the other par...

The market has been picking up recently and you are not seeing my signs because... As the sign above shows we have sold all our current listings. Really, we have no listings at the moment, but we have two coming soon, a Town home in Exton and one in Villanova an executive quality home, which has all the bells and whistles. Both will be on our website soon. We don't expect to have these long, so if you are thinking of listing your home soon, give us a call and find out what makes us different. We are not like everyone else and our success shows that, we sell homes all along the Main Line outside of Philadelphia. If you are looking to buy a home, we represent buyers as well, for both buyers and sellers we act as a personal expert, a Real Estate Consultant allowing you to made educated an...

Looking for somewhere new to grab a bite, why not try Ella's Bistro in Wayne, right on Sugartown Road in the Acme/Kmart shopping center. As part of the recent development and extension of the shopping center this is a welcome addition. I stopped by yesterday with a friend for lunch, I was pleased I had booked as the place was packed. It provides a nice alternative to The Paddock of Devon across the road on Lancaster Avenue and is definitely a more upmarket feel with white tablecloths and although I had seen a post about bad service I had no complaints. Quick update on The Paddock is that it closed, yes, gone out of business. To be honest, the food was only average, and the menu somewhat limited, and the sapece very large and numbers of customers has been low when I have been there. Lunc...

Wayne, for many the best place to live along the Main Line, either North or South Wayne, the downtown with its coffee shops, restaurants and shops is a great place to visit. Its station was recently restored as you can see from these photos below. The front of the Wayne Station, contains a coffee shop/cafe along with the ticket office and plenty of parking. The station building from across the tracks Old meets new, with the original Wayne station sign below the new Septa digital notification system. Note the double heights of the platforms for the trains. R5 for Thorndale approaching on the curve to the west of the Wayne Station, just about to cross the bridge over North Wayne Avenue.
