Resources Real Estate Summer 2017 issue of Portfolio is Now Available!

August 11th, 2017 — Resources Real Estate announced the publication of the Summer 2017 issue of Portfolio, its lifestyle magazine.

The Summer 2017 issue showcases splendid Monmouth county homes in Atlantic Highlands, Colts Neck, Fair Haven, Highlands, Holmdel, Little Silver, Long Branch, Middletown, Monmouth Beach, Red Bank, Rumson, Sea Bright, Shrewsbury, and Tinton Falls, as well as first-time home buyer opportunities, investment properties, and some exciting commercial properties for sale.

In this issue, readers will marvel in the splendor of an 8,000 square-foot English Tudor Manor house with panoramic views of the Navesink River. This Locust, NJ home boasts seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, walk-out finished lower level with wine cellar and billiards, art deco theatre, outdoor large spa, private dock with two boat lifts, and a separate living space for guests

Foodies will enjoy ‘Small Town, Big Flavors,’ a piece introducing Porcini, a charming restaurant in the town of Highlands. Owned by couple Chris and Alexandria, Porcini offers Italian American dishes with a hint of other international cuisines in an intimate atmosphere.

‘Make Your Home in Holmdel’ showcases a beautiful Colonial home in a town known for its fabulous landscapes. The 4-bedroom, 3-car garage home is located in the coveted Falcons Ridge neighborhood and is close to the top rated Holmdel High School.

‘Waterfront Masterpiece’ presents a Rumson home that readers will have to see to believe. Featuring over 8,000 square feet of luxury on a private lot, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom house overlooks the Shrewsbury River and offers 180-degree sweeping water views from its family room. This three-level house boasts a dramatic marble foyer with elevator access to all three levels, custom gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, open floor plan, private theater, four fireplaces, wine room and custom finishes throughout, and a stunning outdoor pool oasis and deep water dock. The master bedroom suite has its own sitting room overlooking the river, his and her office, private dressing room and luxurious bathroom with master Jacuzzi tub, oversized custom glass shower and marble top vanities. Underground electric and back-up generators keep peace of mind during inclement weather, and a location within an easy commute to NYC via high speed ferry make this a truly rare find. Make sure to check out photos of the property featured in the magazine.

This issue’s ‘Short List’ focuses on Long Branch, a beach resort town that was known in the 19th century as “Hollywood of the East” and has recently been seeing a rebirth. This regular column highlights Long Branch’s ocean front shopping and dining scene, as well as its vibrant cultural offerings and numerous open-air concerts.

And lastly, the international properties in the Summer issue come from Resources’ luxury real estate global partners in Barcelona. Three properties are presented: a classically elegant four-story residence, a modern luxury apartment in a plush high-rise, and a palace-like home designed by modernist architect Salvador Puiggros Figueras.

“We specialize in the luxury market for Monmouth County and beyond, and our magazine represents just that,” said Senior Partner and Broker Carolynn Diakon. “Resources Real Estate offers a lifestyle that our clients are a part of, and people aspire to belong to.”

“Earlier this year we were named to the Board of Regents of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate,” said Managing Partner and Broker Thomas McCormack.“ This honor aligns with our strategy to offer more international properties to our clients, as well as more effectively showcase our local properties to international buyers. This issue continues to mirror this approach.”

PORCINI: Small Town, Big Flavors….

Chris Atamian doesn’t do a lot of waiting when it comes to food. When he was in 8th grade and his mother had to push back dinner because of her work hours, he took over making family meals. Before long, he was a better cook than his mom. Years later when he met Alexandria Mahon while working as a chef at the much beloved Bay Avenue Trattoria, they knew that they
would open up a restaurant together. They didn’t wait very long.

Resources Real Estate Luxury Real Estate in Monmouth County, NJ 732-212-0440

Summertime at the shore… it’s a good thing. A time for fun & games, beach picnics & barbecues, and sun & sand. We all feel fortunate to live here in Monmouth County — especially at this time of year — and although it’s easy to get distracted, here at Resources Real Estate we continue to focus on our role as purveyors of this wonderful lifestyle, not simply as agents selling houses.

Every day we are reminded of how wonderful central New Jersey and Monmouth County really is and we are proud to once again share these insights in this issue of Portfolio.

From the renaissance occurring in Highlands we find Porcini, a wonderful eatery run by a young, vibrant couple who are making their mark in local culinary circles and drawing foodies from throughout the area to their bistro. Long Branch makes an appearance on this issue’s Short List with some of our faves from this town which is also witnessing a tremendous resurgence. Just in case you’ve got cabin fever, we’ve provided some truly spectacular luxury offerings from one of our global luxury partners in Barcelona, Spain. Fair warning: you may want to brush up on your high school Spanish and make sure your passport is up to date before looking! Of course, luxury can be found much closer to home and we hope you enjoy some of the local offerings including a spectacular waterfront estate with history, class, space, views and exceptional quality.

We encourage you all to explore the beauty and delights of Monmouth County this summer whether you live here or are just here for a visit (or to buy a house!) And if you’re so inclined, perhaps you’d consider joining our team! Our efforts have resulted in our having been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America — we were named to the 2016 Inc. 5000 list — as well as honored by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate for Best Overall Marketing for the year. This year has already brought us accolades including our induction to the prestigious Board of Regents of Luxury Real Estate, an elite gathering of luxury brokers worldwide. Happy Summer!

Have You Tried Booskerdoo Coffee?

It’s so Much More Than a Cup of Joe!

“It began with 5 pounds of coffee beans in a tiny Manhattan apartment. James Caverly was roasting coffee for the first time and it generated so much smoke that his girlfriend, Amelia, thought he had lost his mind. For James, it was a moment of clarity — it resulted in the best cup of coffee he had ever tasted. That’s when he decided to get out of sales and open up his first coffee shop.”

Winter 2017 Portfolio Lifestyle Magazine

The end of year and start of a new one is a special time because it encourages each of us to review what has come before and envision what lies ahead.

For us at Resources Real Estate, we saw 2016 bring us many things, much of which will carry us into 2017 with great momentum. In September we were nominated for 8 awards by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate (LRE), a prestigious global network of elite brokers and agents. Among the nominations were Best Website, Best Print Marketing, Best Digital Marketing, Outstanding Social Media Savvy, Most Innovative Marketing Technique (which we won 2 years ago) and others. Most every national real estate firm was among the nominees including affiliates of Sotheby’s, ReMax, Coldwell Banker, and more, as well as many fine independent brokers from around the country and the world. We are truly honored to be recognized in such fine company. September was also the month we were named to the Inc.5000 — Inc. Magazine’s list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This recognition of our growth was a welcome surprise and it demonstrates that our work has yielded real results.

In October the celebration continued as we brought home the award for Best Overall Marketing Package from LRE at their 21st annual Luxury Real Estate awards ceremony held in Aspen. This recognition was momentous as it acknowledged our efforts in print, digital and online, in our company branding, property marketing and agent promotion. Our marketing approach’s comprehensiveness was key to our receiving this award. October was also the month we celebrated our top agents by rewarding them with a luxury cruise vacation for their hard work and stellar sales. It was a joy to spend time with these wonderfully impressive people — not just great sales professionals but warm, compassionate and creative individuals. We aspire every day to fulfill our ideal of “Exceptional Service, Exceptional Homes, Exceptional Agents” and 2016 exemplified our success in inching closer to it. We look forward to an exciting 2017 and all it holds for us. We wish you the best in the new year as well.
