I became licensed in 2012 and my primary source of income was residential homes sales from 2012 through 2022. Around 2020, I became the Broker of Record for two Keller Williams brokerages, which led me down a path towards “leadership”, which eventually led to my role as the President of Rarity Real Estate . It’s a long story - if we ever meet for coffee I’ll tell you about it :) Anyway, during my 10 years as a sales agent, I operated as a solo agent, and then as the leader of a small sales team. I was what you would consider a “Top Producer”. My best year was 2020 - I was the #5 overall sales agent at KW Philly, at a time when KW Philly was the #1 largest real estate brokerage on the East Coast of America. Looking back at my career, I can point to one moment, which was really the “big bang” for myself as a professional. And oddly enough, it came AFTER I was already an established “top producing agent”… AND… this lesson that I learned had nothing to do with sales or even real estate. Follow me on this, it’s a good story. From 2012-2018 I was an agent at Coldwell Banker Preferred. In September 2018 I made the switch to KW Philly. The reason why I switched brokerages was because I was doing so much business that I knew I needed an assistant in order for my business to continue to grow. I was working way too hard, and it was impacting my personal life and my mental health. At CB, I was surrounded by great solo agents, but no one there had a team or an admin. KW Philly was an environment where all the top solo agents were starting teams or hiring leverage. I needed to surround myself with people who were on my level. In my first 2 weeks at KW Philly, they brought in a guest speaker to talk about “Agent Financials”. The speaker was a KW Agent from the Washington DC Metro area who owned a few brokerages and other businesses in addition to his sales team. He spoke about having a Profit and Loss Statement, reviewing it on a monthly basis, and using it as a tool to make adjustments on how your business is run. He talked about how much money you save in taxes if you are paid to an LLC, instead of receiving your commission income into your own name.   He asked, “how will you pay your assistant, if you don’t have payroll processing software?  Will you write them a personal check every two weeks? Or pay them cash in a brown paper bag?” The presentation was an all-day event from 10 am-5 pm. When it was over, I was so overwhelmed that I went home and went to sleep. I was asleep by 6 pm. The next morning, I came to the office and took down the job posting that I had made trying to find an assistant. I knew that I wasn’t ready. The foundation of my business was wrong. I needed to fix it before I could move forward. I spent the next several months building that foundation. I set up my LLC, I went to the bank and opened business checking accounts, and I got my LLC registered with the PA RE Commission. I completed all the paperwork with the brokerage so that I could receive my commission checks into my LLC. I switched all my expenses over so that they would be paid by my LLC. I set up payroll so that my LLC would pay me a salary. I set up Quickbooks so that I could track my income and expenses every month…and then every week. By May 2019, “Andrew Gismondi Enterprises LLC” was functioning like a legitimate business. By July 2019, I finally hired my assistant. I was no longer “working a sales job. From May 2019 onward, I “owned and operated a sales company”. With the support of my assistant, and with the ability to track every penny of income and expenses in real time, my business skyrocketed. As I mentioned previously, 2020 was my best year ever. In the 5 years since I became a “business owner", my net worth has tripled. I own an equity stake in several small businesses. I work shorter hours. I am much healthier. I’ve lost 30 lbs. I am happy. Life is good. The moral of the story is that there are sales people and then there are business people.  Some people do both, but the majority of sales people never master the business acumen that is required to enable them to “level up”. Everyone has a different version of what “leveling up” means to them. But in order to get there, you need to have a plan. The best way to make that plan is to surround yourself with people who are already doing it. This is what we try to do at Rarity. It’s not just about selling real estate. It’s about making a plan to get where you want to go. The sales are just a means to that end.

We are thrilled that our CEO, Jim Roche, has been featured in a Realtor.com article about the Top 10 Walkable Cities With Affordable Homes Priced Below $450K. In the Article Jim explores the dynamic real estate landscape of Philadelphia. As the largest city in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modern living, making it an attractive destination for homebuyers and investors alike. Philadelphia, with its median list price of $289,000, offers homes that are 35% below the national median, making it an affordable choice for many. With a population of 1.6 million, it's a bustling metropolis with a grid layout and extensive public transit system, offering easy access to its vibrant neighborhoods and historic sites. Jim Roche highlights Philadelphia's unique position as a "major metro market, smack-dab right between Washington, DC, and New York City." Despite its proximity to these major cities, Philadelphia maintains its own identity as a "tight, compact city with a ton of energy." Read the Full Article

In 2017, at 23 years old, I quit my first "real job" out of college, and moved from Delaware to Philadelphia to pursue a career as a real estate agent. At this time, the only thing I knew about real estate was that I eventually wanted to invest in it (because it seemed like people got rich that way). The only thing I knew about Philadelphia was that my Aunt Linda lived here (and it seemed a hell of a lot more fun than living in Wilmington, Delaware). 2 years later, in 2019, I received my first 1099 that was over $150,000 in income. When I first received it, tears came to my eyes. I know it's not a million dollars or anything, but at 25 years old, it kind of felt like it. Less than a year beforehand, there was one month where the only reason I was able to pay my rent was because I luckily won $1,000 from my fantasy football league. When I look back at myself during that time, I can vividly remember the mindstate that I was in 2019 and the things that I was focused on at the time that helped to propel me forward quickly, and have a breakthrough year very early on in my career. Here are some of the things that I learned during that time: 1) Surround Yourself With Better People Your environment is absolutely everything. In August of 2018, just over 1 year after getting into the business, I made a switch from my first brokerage over to Keller Williams Philly. At the time, I saw a number of top producers from my old office leave for KW, and while things were going ok for me at the time, I really felt that I needed to surround myself with agents I could emulate, who had already built businesses like the one that I wanted to build for myself. Had I not made the switch, there are many incredible people I would have never met, and so many lessons that I would have missed out on. I definitely would have stalled my career by staying in the same place and not trusting my gut to make a move when I did. 2) Hire A Coach (Or Two) & Invest In Yourself In 2019, I invested over $10,000 to have two coaches. One of my coaches was a Keller Williams MAPs Business Coach, Deanna Watson, and the other was a success, mindset, & life coach, Jeffery Combs. Through coaching with both of them, I accelerated my business so much faster than I would have, had I just tried to figure everything out on my own. I paid them for knowledge that took them years and years to gather, and was able to implement it early in my career, to form the right systems and habits for success. Mentors are great, but if you aren't paying for someone's time, you're less likely to implement what they teach. Seminars are great , but the inspiration that you gather from them can be fleeting. Books are great too, but only if you read them and implement the information you gather. 3) Have A Routine & Stick To It 2019 was the most "locked in" I have been on my morning / weekly routines in my entire life, other than right now. At the time, I was consistently waking up every day at 5am, going to the gym, and doing the things I needed to do in the morning and the evening to get my mind right. I was the first person in the office almost every day, and many times the last person to leave, but I wasn't burnt out. I was having fun and crushing my daily and weekly routines, working towards my goals. Taking care of my personal life, my body, and my mind, automatically spilled over into my business effortlessly, and I began to create opportunities on command like I never had before. 4) Eliminate Your Limiting Beliefs Your new life is going to cost you your old one. You can't create a new life for yourself without eliminating the same patterns and beliefs that you've held in your past. In order to breakthrough in your business and your life, you need to be "in the flow" and you need to be present. You can't be constantly sabotaging your success with beliefs that no longer serve you. In 2019, I learned to let go of a lot of baggage I was holding onto from my past, and the stories that I was telling myself as to why I couldn't be successful. Ultimately, letting go of that baggage had an immediate effect, and made me lighter and more agile to operate in my business and my life. 5) Take Action Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction. You can come up with all of the best plans, systems, goals, etc. You can go to the best seminars, hire the best coaches, talk to the best people, and read all of the best books. If you don't get up off your ass and actually execute and put into practice the things that you are learning, you will find yourself on a never ending hamster wheel of failure and disappointment. You don't need to do everything all at once, but you need to do something every single day that moves you closer to your goal. If you're feeling stuck in your business, or you're looking to go to the next level and don't know where to start, consider some of the things above. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss one on one, happy to do what I can to help.

From Renter to Homeowner: A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Your Dream Making the leap from renting to owning your home is a significant milestone. While the journey can seem daunting, breaking it down into manageable steps can make it both achievable and rewarding. Here's a guide to help you transition from a renter to a homeowner. 1. Assess Your Financial Readiness Evaluate Your Savings: Start by reviewing your savings. You’ll need a substantial amount for a down payment, typically between 3% to 20% of the home's purchase price. Additionally, consider closing costs, which can range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount. Check Your Credit Score: Your credit score plays a critical role in securing a mortgage and determining the interest rate. Aim for a score of 620 or higher, though a score of 740 or above will get you the best rates. Obtain a free copy of your credit report and resolve any discrepancies. Create a Budget: Develop a detailed budget that accounts for your current expenses and future homeownership costs, such as mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities. Ensure you have an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses. 2. Research and Plan Determine Your Home Preferences: Consider your lifestyle, family needs, and future plans. Decide on the type of home (single-family, townhouse, condo), the size, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any specific features you desire. Choose a Location: Research neighborhoods based on factors like proximity to work, schools, amenities, safety, and future growth potential. Visit these areas at different times of the day to get a feel for the community. Understand Market Conditions: Stay informed about the housing market trends in your desired area. Understand whether it’s a buyer's or seller's market, as this will influence your negotiation strategy and urgency. 3. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage Shop Around for Lenders: Contact multiple lenders to compare loan products, interest rates, and fees. Consider working with a mortgage broker who can provide access to multiple lending options. Gather Necessary Documentation: Be prepared with documents such as tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and proof of assets and debts. This will streamline the pre-approval process. Secure Pre-Approval: A pre-approval letter shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer with financing lined up, giving you an edge in competitive markets. 4. Hire a Real Estate Agent! Rarity Real Estate is here for all of your home buying needs. We help you navigate the process, answer any questions you may have and negotiate on your behalf. Transitioning from a renter to a homeowner is a journey that requires careful planning, financial readiness, and informed decision-making. By following these steps and seeking guidance from one of our agents, you can navigate the process with confidence and achieve the dream of homeownership. Embrace the responsibilities and joys of owning your home, and build a space where you and your loved ones can thrive.

Summer can be one of the busiest times in the real estate market. The warm weather, longer days, and school vacations create an ideal window for buyers and sellers alike. If you're planning to put your home on the market this summer, our real estate team has compiled some tips to help you achieve a successful sale. 1. Enhance Curb Appeal First impressions matter, and in summer, your home’s exterior will be on full display. Enhancing curb appeal is crucial. Ensure your lawn is well-maintained by trimming bushes, planting flowers, and keeping the grass green and lush. Power wash the siding, walkways, and driveway, and clean windows and gutters to give your home a fresh look. Adding some summer charm with a welcoming front door mat, potted plants, and perhaps a new mailbox or house numbers can also make a big difference. 2. Stage for the Season Staging your home can significantly influence how potential buyers perceive it. For summer staging, focus on making rooms light and bright by using light-colored linens and curtains. Open windows to let in natural light. Keep your home comfortably cool; if you don’t have central air conditioning, consider investing in portable units or fans. Highlight outdoor living areas by arranging patio furniture, adding a grill, and creating an inviting space for entertaining. 3. Price it Right Setting the right price for your home is crucial. Work with your real estate agent to conduct a thorough market analysis and look at comparable homes in your area that have sold recently. Consider the current market conditions—if it’s a seller’s market, you might have more leeway to price higher, while in a buyer’s market, pricing competitively can attract more interest. 4. Highlight Summer-Friendly Features Showcase features that make your home stand out in the summer. If you have a pool, make sure it’s clean and well-maintained. Highlight any outdoor kitchen areas, decks, or patios. Emphasize energy-efficient features like new windows, insulation, or solar panels, which can help keep cooling costs down. Point out features that enhance natural ventilation, such as ceiling fans, screened-in porches, or strategically placed windows. 5. Market Strategically Marketing your home effectively is key to attracting potential buyers. Invest in high-quality photos that capture your home’s best features, as summer lighting can make your home look particularly appealing. Consider offering virtual tours for out-of-town buyers or those who prefer viewing homes online. Schedule open houses during weekends or evenings when people are more likely to have free time. 6. Be Flexible with Showings Be prepared for last-minute showing requests and try to accommodate them as much as possible, as people’s schedules can be more varied in the summer due to vacations and other activities. The more flexible you are, the more potential buyers you can attract. 7. Address Necessary Repairs Finally, address any necessary repairs before listing your home. Ensure your air conditioning system is in good working order, check for any leaks or damage in the roof and gutters, and fix any minor issues like leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or cracked tiles. No one wants to buy a home with obvious issues. Selling your home in the summer can be a rewarding experience with the right preparation and strategy. By enhancing curb appeal, staging appropriately, pricing competitively, and marketing effectively, you can attract serious buyers and close the sale successfully. Our real estate team is here to assist you every step of the way. Contact us today to get started!
