Today, friends, neighbors and a truly wonderful family that has been living in Maplewood for 12 years will be making the move to South Orange. With four girls, they had outgrown their lovely College Hill home. We had been looking on and off over the past few years, but when they found their new home on Scotland Road, with 2 more bedrooms, 2 more full baths--one a master bath--it was almost too good to be true and made this move irresistible. We made their offer on the new home and successfully negotiated a deal that was contingent on selling their home, which wasn't even on the market as of yet. We mobilized and got their home on the market in less than 2 weeks and on the first weekend had two open houses, bringing in over 50+ potential buyers and ended up with 11 bids and selling their home for 10% over asking.
While this was a great outcome to feel great about, this wonderful turn of events was bested by what I believe is the first ever Official Greeting and Neighborhood Welcome from none other than Sheena Collum, South Orange's first female Village President.
