Spring is here!
The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.
In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.
This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.
If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.
Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT KIMBERLY CROUCH REALTY
"We had a great experience with Kim when buying our beach house!"
"She guided us through the process and genuinely cared about our experience. Kim is so personable and made the whole thing really enjoyable and stress-free for us. She stayed on top of everything, by scheduling and attending all inspections, giving us detailed updates, following up with the builder post-insepction to get repairs done, and always being very responsive with answering our texts. Kim is so knowledgeable and we would highly recommend her."
- Ashley & Trey D., Buyers
"Kim Crouch just listed and sold my property in 2 days."
"Not only did I have 2 offers but one was full listing price! If you are looking for someone who understands how to sell value rather than price, I highly recommend Kim. It is hard nowadays to find someone who goes that extra mile. You could not do better than Kim Crouch. I won’t use anyone else and I have used quite a lot of agents in my life.”
- Denny B., Seller
"She is very detail oriented and was the best real estate agent that I've ever worked with."
"Kim Crouch is great! Very attentive and focused on what was important to me. Found the perfect place in record time! Kim quickly determined what kind of houses I was interested in and focused on those only. She walked me through the buying process and took care of a lot of things that would have bogged me down as I was making my move. I would highly recommend Kim for your next house buying or house selling experience."
- Don M., Buyer
