Beautiful Berks County - ExUrbia and Affordable Living  

I love southeastern Berks County.

3 years ago I bought a 20 acre site for a high quality shopping center at the Green Hills exit of the Expressway which connects the PA Turnpike (Morgantown Exit) with the City of Reading. Brandywine Realty Trust owns 2 office buildings directly across from our property, and Orleans Home Builders just picked up an option to purchase the 300 or so hundred acres owned by Tom Kimmel - which is approved for 800 homes - just across the street.

Green Hills, with its rolling hills is just a beautiful spot. I am confident we will make a substantial return on our investment as that area matures, and that the area will maintain its countryside feel even as development heats up. Everyone in Green Hills is committed to maintaining a high quality, environmentally sound plan -whatever is built.

I recently had lunch with Mike Chaknos and his office manager. Mike is the owner of the busiest C21 office in Pennsylvania, and is our charter Realty Exchange member for the Berks County area. Mike represented me in our purchase of our shopping center property, and when you schedule an appointment to see property in Berks county you are automatically routed to Mike and his expert team who give our clients the red carpet treatment.

This is important, because one of the things we talked about is the influx of Chester County buyers who are looking in Berks County as it remains affordable, and because it is just an exit west on the PA Turnpike from the Route 100/Exton.

Mike noted the constant overpaying he sees as less experienced agents drag their customers from Chester County over to Berks. These agents and their buyers put in Chester County sized offers on property that could have been had for less. Always start your homebuying process by scheduling through Smarter Agent to ensure you are routed to the best agent in whatever town you are looking. Plus you get a rebate from Smarter Agent as we have pre-negotiated agreements which let you benefit from our relationships with our Realty Exchange Agents!
