Introducing The View From 186

The beginning of each new year is a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. With that in mind, Turpin Real Estate’s Chatham office selected The Alternative Press as our link to the communities we service, and we are pleased to launch our new column for 2013. You will be hearing from members of our Chatham office with their insights about homes, recent trends, lifestyle happenings and detailed data based on the local marketplace.

Due to their tremendous efforts, our sales team created a highly successful 2012 and outperformed all other Decembers in Turpin’s history, which was a great way to end the year.

On the other hand, Hurricane Sandy certainly impacted our area, and called upon all of us to help our fellow New Jersey residents who suffered such great losses along the coast. Many of our associates were involved in helping directly or supporting organizations through fundraising. Needless to say, we are proud of our team of agents at Turpin as real estate professionals-- and just as significantly--as members of their respective communities.

Since our opening day in 1960, Turpin has always been a “glass half full” kind of company no matter what the market conditions bear, a philosophy that has served us well through the years. When we review statistics from 2011 and 2012 the numbers show The Chathams are experiencing a relatively stable and healthy market.



Looking ahead, our view from 186 Main Street expects the local real estate markets to move along nicely as 2013 progresses. Click here for the monthly charts that I will feature on my website each month covering the towns our Chatham Office services.

With the spring market about to start, I am feeling optimistic about the future and I look forward to hearing from our readers at The Alternative Press. We invite you to call or visit us at 186 Main Street or contact us online at www.TurpinRealtors.com.

All the best,

Established in 1960, Turpin Real Estate has specialized in serving the real estate needs of North Central New Jersey. This is an extraordinary part of the state rich in natural beauty and steeped in historical significance. Our five offices in Chatham, Bernardsville, Far Hills, Mendham and Oldwick, are integral parts of the communities we serve. As a family owned business, it has always been important to us that we remain small enough to maintain our strong local identity. We live here and are eminently familiar with the communities we serve. As such, we are much more than a real estate brokerage. We are a source of local knowledge and advice. We have a profound understanding of the workings of our towns and villages, borne of years of involvement in community affairs.  For more information, please visit  http://www.turpinrealtors.com
