BUY A LIFESTYLE - NOT JUST A HOME!!!

WOW - That sums it up - People retiring, just like you, realize that the amenities in the community and the community's location are as equally important as the actual home they purchase. Most people begin the funneling process by determining:

1. State to Buy In

2. Section of State

3. Town

4. Community

5. Model of Home

Stephen LaCount, from activeadultliving.com, wrote an article entitled, "7 Reasons for Living in An Active Lifestyle Community," and published it on his website. The following were his seven reasons:

1. For Your Happiness

2. So You Can Keep on Keepin' On

3. For Your Health

4. To Find New Friends

5. For New Beginnings

6. To Have It Your Way

7. A Time For YOU ! ! !

If you are looking for a community:

• 10 minutes from the bay and ocean

• 30 minutes to Atlantic City

• 1 1/4 hours to Philadelphia and New York

• Easy Parkway Access

We have a community for YOU. Click on the link below to view all of our local communities.

Ocean County Adult Communities

Tell us what you want to see and we will customize a TOUR for you. Why spend 3 hours with a sales rep from one community that only wants to sell you their community when we can ascort you to many communities.

Our family looks forward to helping you find the perfect lifestyle.

Why Choose a REALTOR to See New Construction Communities?

• No High Pressure Sales - The sales office agents sell THEIR community only but we sell real estate throughout the county

• We have partnered with each new construction community so that WE can show you their models, answer sny questions you may have, and drive you around the community. Then, if ther are questions we cannot answer, our partner will help us.

• We simplify the process for you. One of our clients recently said, "What a joy it was to take your tour. On our own, we would have gone home frustrated after just seeing one community, but you took us to 3 communities and provided us with a wealth of information. There was no sales pressure from you and you understood that we were just beginning the process. When the sale agent at the community tried to apply some pressure, you politely reminded the agent that we were not ready to buy that day."

• Should you decide to go back to any community, you will have our partners' contact information and can contact them directly for any additional information, or we can contact them for you. YOU decided how and when you want to build that relationship. Our partners always keep us informed.

You can sign on to www.muldowneyteam.com and click on "Search MLS" and you will be connected to our website where you can view ALL homes for sale on the MLS. You can narrow your search by community and towns as you proceed. This will allow you to see the resales in each of the communities.

You can reach us at 609-713-5194 or through e-mail at jkipila@vandykgroup.com . Our family would be pleased to help you identify a community and find the perfect home.
