Home-Sweet-Home, Levis, and a Cat from New Jersey

Peeking out your blinds, you catch a glimpse of a candy-apple beamer as it jerks to a stop just past your mailbox, backs up, and lurches into your drive. The agent’s here. You watch as a plume of platinum blonde hair emerges. An ear-jack, gold hoops, and palm pilot complete the picture.  Spitting her gum, she teases up her bangs,  tugs down her 

mini-skirt and struts the walk to your front door, heels clicking all the way. She raps twice on the glass and rings the doorbell.  You sigh, and then open the door. “Hey, I’m Bambi” she says with a plastic smile as she brushes past you into the foyer. 

Freeze Frame

You’ve just met my arch nemesis.   I’m Nancy Morris, real estate consultant for Keller Williams and I have a confession; I drive a Civic. I wear Levis. And I’m baffled at how an agent can poke around in attics for leaks, check out crawl spaces, hold babies for house hunting parents, or do any of the things required to help find someone a home, while prancing around in stilettos and driving sports-cars. As for me, the heels and hot-rods can stay at home.  I’ve got work to do.

Maybe I’ve put this too strongly.  But then, I hail from the garden state, so putting things strongly comes naturally. And that's my next confession. Yep, the cat’s outta the bag, and it’s from Jersey. Now I suppose you’re thinking “she’s not even from the state, how can she possibly know anything about buying a home in Delaware?”  Have no fear. Take a breath.  I’ve lived here for 15 years. I've learned every back road, school district, church, pre-school, and neighborhood in the state of Delaware. I guarantee that if one person uses GPS, and another rides with me, I'll getcha there first every time. 

So why do I mention New Jersey?  Well, first, this website draws tons of people from up North and if that happens to be you, GREAT!  I love to talk to people who share my roots.  Second is that I work at a New Jersey pace.  I’ve got 2 speeds—“fast”, and “ finished yesterday”.  That means you’ll never have to wait on me, and I’ll always give you straight answers because beating around the bush just takes too long.
