How We Found an Off-Market Home on Toms River's Most Sought-After Street

by Justin Calderon

Every town has that one street. In Toms River, one of them is Cranmoor Manor, just off Washington Street. Beautiful homes, mature trees, and almost nothing ever comes up for sale.

One house there had been sitting vacant for years. Everyone in the neighborhood had their eye on it. Neighbors wondered about it. Investors wondered about it. And our client wanted it badly.

The problem? It wasn't for sale. And nobody seemed to know who to even ask.

So We Started Digging

Most agents would have shrugged and moved on. We picked up the phone.

My team worked the phones and the internet relentlessly. We chased public records, made call after call, and followed every lead we could find. One contact led to an attorney. That attorney led to another attorney. Then another contact. Then another.

At the end of that long chain was a realtor working with a bank that happened to be handling the sale of the house.

And we called at exactly the right time.

Getting the Deal Done

We drafted an offer right away and struck a deal. No bidding war. No crowd of buyers. Just our client, the right contact and good timing.

Our client is getting that house with hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity. Not because of luck, but because they hired a team that refused to stop looking.

Why a Hungry Team Makes the Difference

This is what working with a young, driven team looks like. We don't wait for the MLS to tell us what's available. When our client wants something, we go find it.

At CRESI Real Estate Group, we'll do whatever it takes, within the rules and with a lot of hustle, to get our clients where they want to be.

And trust us: wait until you see what he does with this place.
