Prior to being a full-time Realtor(R), I had a successful career in Finance at one of the world's largest Private Equity firms for 12 years. Leveraging my experience in Finance, I am known for outstanding client service, my organizational skills and being a skilled negotiator. I put myself in my client's shoes and treat them with the highest level of respect and concern. It is my duty not only to be a representative in the homebuying process but to also educate my clients throughout every step. I arm clients with top-notch information & market insight so that they make the very best decisions possible. I listen and understand what their wants/needs are and work extremely hard to achieve their goals. My clients have the comfort of knowing they work with ME from start to closing and beyond. I am licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Get pre-approved for a mortgage first, understand your budget, don't skip the home inspection, and make sure to research the neighborhood thoroughly. Stay flexible, but be ready to act quickly in a competitive market. Trust your instincts, and don’t rush into a decision—buying a home is a big commitment!
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Make sure your home is priced right—overpricing can scare away buyers and cause your house to sit on the market. Stage your home to highlight its best features, and ensure it’s clean and well-maintained. Be flexible with showings. Pricing and presentation are key to selling successfully!
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I’ve worked with a variety of clients, including first-time homebuyers, sellers, investors, move-up buyers, relocating clients, empty-nesters, renters, and landlords. Each group has unique needs, but the goal is always the same: to ensure a smooth and successful real estate experience.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
One transaction I’m particularly fond of was helping a first-time homebuyer find their perfect home. They were initially overwhelmed by the process, but after guiding them through financing options, viewing homes, and negotiating a fair offer, we found a property they loved. The closing process was smooth, and they were so excited to move in. It was rewarding to see how much confidence they gained throughout, and knowing I played a role in making their dream home a reality felt incredibly fulfilling.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I transitioned into real estate from a finance background, where I developed strong skills in budgeting and negotiations. I wanted to combine my financial expertise with helping people make big decisions, so I earned my license and dove into real estate. It’s been a rewarding journey, using my finance skills to guide clients through the buying and selling process.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have several certifications and awards that benefit my clients. I was recognized as a NJ Circle of Excellence Winner in 2023, which reflects my dedication to providing exceptional service. I’m also an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), a Military Relocation Specialist (MRS), and a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA). These qualifications help me offer expert advice in buying, selling, and pricing homes.

Being a realtor takes a lot of patience and dedication. Tameka has truly exemplified both of those characteristics. She took us to any house we wanted, some we turned around and walked out as soon as we stepped in. She didn't just show a house, she walked us through the details and options about each one. We worked together for nearly 18 months and thought we found the one, until the inspection dampered the spirit. What a test as to the knowledge she has and the fight she has for her clients. She knew what I was looking for and worked hard to find the perfect home. The stress was real but she was so reassuring and walked us through everything. I just closed on my first home purchase lasr week and within the past few days it feels like it's where I was always supposed to be. Not many clients make memories with their realtor, but we will always have the Lippincott.

"The best realtor I've worked with! Tameka helped us sell our 1st home and buy a new beautiful home. She was very patient with all our requests and made sure we understood the process every step of the way. Tameka is also very thoughtful! She gifted us a book of pictures of the home we sold as a way to cherish it. We highly recommend using Tameka as your realtor!"
