I am a Realtor® and Broker/Owner at Core Partners Realty in York, PA. I am a longtime resident of central Pennsylvania.

I graduated in 1997 from York College of PA with a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Management and a concentration in Physics. I worked at Deloitte Consulting before starting my Real Estate career in 2003. Now with over 20 years of experience, I am a Realtor® and Broker/Owner at Core Partners in York, PA. I live 20 minutes north of York in Camp Hill, near Harrisburg, with my wife and 2 kids. My wife, Julie, works as my assistant in Real Estate. Together, we hope to provide a wholesome and complete service to all my clients. If there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to help you buy or sell your home!

🏡 CAMP HILL JUST POSTED ONE OF THE STRONGEST PRICE JUMPS ON THE WEST SHORE.

Camp Hill's median sale price climbed to roughly $397,000, up close to 40% from a year ago, and homes are also taking longer to sell: a median of 36 days on market, up from just 11 days last year.

What that means for buyers:
→ The frenzy of homes vanishing in under two weeks has eased, giving you more time to actually think through an offer
→ Typical homes are still selling for about 3% over list price, with especially desirable ones closer to 8% over, so competitive offers are still smart
→ You're buying into one of the most walkable, established communities on the West Shore, with tree-lined streets, a true small-town downtown along Market Street, and some of the area's most consistently top-rated schools

Camp Hill isn't a secret, and it never has been. But the pace has shifted just enough that a well-prepared buyer has a real shot here again.

Curious what's actually available in Camp Hill right now? Let's go take a look. 🔑

🛋️ AN EMPTY ROOM AND A STAGED ROOM DO NOT SELL THE SAME WAY.

If your home in York, Harrisburg, or the West Shore is about to hit the market, how you present it matters almost as much as the price you put on it. According to the National Association of Realtors' latest staging report, the numbers make the case better than any opinion could.

Here's what staging actually does:
→ 29% of sellers' agents say staging led buyers to offer 1% to 10% more than they would have for the same home unstaged
→ Nearly half of sellers' agents, 49%, say staging shortened the time a home spent on the market
→ The vast majority of buyers' agents, 86%, say staging affects how at least some buyers picture themselves living in a home
→ Median staging cost is just $1,500 when a professional stager handles it, or around $500 when your listing agent manages it directly, a small investment against a home's total sale price

Staging isn't about hiding flaws. It's about helping a buyer walk in and immediately picture their own life there instead of seeing your furniture, your clutter, or your personal photos everywhere they look.

Thinking about listing in York, Adams County, or the Harrisburg suburbs? Let's talk about what staging would actually look like for your home. 🏡

📝 WHAT YOU DON'T DISCLOSE CAN COME BACK TO HAUNT YOUR SALE.

Every home seller in Pennsylvania is required to fill out a Seller Property Disclosure Statement before a buyer signs the Agreement of Sale, and skipping it or glossing over it is one of the most avoidable mistakes a seller in York, Harrisburg, or the West Shore can make.

Here's what the law actually requires you to disclose, if you know about it:
→ Structural issues: foundation, roof, walls, or windows, including any past water infiltration, even if it was already repaired
→ Mechanical problems: electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, or water heater issues
→ Well and septic conditions, including any known failures or water quality concerns
→ Hazardous materials such as lead-based paint in homes built before 1978, asbestos, radon test results, or underground storage tanks
→ Flooding history, FEMA floodplain status, and any unpermitted work like a finished basement or addition

What you're not required to do is hire an inspector or go digging for problems you don't already know about. The duty is to disclose what you know, honestly.

The risk of skipping it: buyers can bring a claim up to two years after closing, and courts treat an honest mistake very differently than a seller who knowingly checked "no known issues."

Getting ready to list in York, Adams County, or the Harrisburg suburbs? Let's go through your disclosure together so there are no surprises later. 📋

🇺🇸 VETERANS: YOU MAY BE SITTING ON THE BEST LOAN PROGRAM IN REAL ESTATE.

Veterans Day is coming up on November 11. If you've served, or you're a surviving spouse of someone who did, you may already qualify for one of the strongest home loan programs available, and a lot of buyers never ask about it.

What makes a VA loan different:
→ $0 down payment for qualified borrowers, even on a $400,000+ home in today's York or Harrisburg market
→ No monthly private mortgage insurance, which can save hundreds a month compared with a conventional or FHA loan
→ No lender-set minimum credit score, and more flexibility after a past bankruptcy or short sale
→ Capped closing costs, and you can ask the seller to cover up to 4% in concessions
→ Many Veterans, including those receiving VA disability compensation, are exempt from the VA funding fee altogether

With full entitlement, there's no loan limit, meaning qualified Veterans aren't capped the way FHA and some conventional buyers are.

If you've served and haven't looked into what this means for your budget in York, Harrisburg, or the West Shore, this Veterans Day is a good time to ask. Let's find out what you qualify for. 🔑

🏡 MECHANICSBURG IS STILL HOT, BUT IT'S COOLING JUST ENOUGH TO MATTER.

Mechanicsburg's median sale price just hit $371,254, up nearly 20% from a year ago. That's the headline. Here's the part most buyers miss: homes are also taking longer to sell than they were last year, and fewer are going above asking price.

Translate for buyers:
→ Median days on market is up to 20 days, about two weeks longer than a year ago
→ Just 28.3% of homes are selling above list price, down from nearly 40% a year ago
→ Prices are still climbing, but the frantic, over-asking bidding wars of the last couple of years are easing
→ That means more room to negotiate, ask for repairs, or include an inspection contingency than Mechanicsburg buyers have had in a while

Why buyers keep choosing it anyway: top-rated Mechanicsburg Area schools, a genuinely walkable downtown along Main Street, and easy access to Harrisburg via Route 11 or the turnpike.

Thinking about Mechanicsburg? You're not too late, and you may have more leverage than you think. Let's go see what's out there. 🔑
