On the Move: Why We LOVE Richmond

By Ali Gilliam, in All Communities

It’s been a little over a month since our Schell-E-Bration in Richmond, which marked our debut splash in RVA! While our team unequivocally fell in love with the area during our trip last month, the truth is we’ve been courting the fair city for some time now. With the growth of Schell Brothers, the natural progression called for […]

Discover the Trails of Delaware: Junction and Breakwater Trail

By Andrew Rogan, in All Communities

We used to leap from railroad tie to railroad tie, balance for a few paces on the rails themselves, and attempt to push each other off the decaying bridges and into the water below. Now the railroad ties are gone and a crushed stone path known as the Junction and Breakwater Trail lies in its place. The […]

Local’s Corner: Spencer for Hire

By Adam Pettengell, in All Communities

Another common question I get asked from homeowners is whom do I recommend to help them move from their home/storage to their amazing, new, Schell Brothers home.  Well, we’ve hopefully used him for the last time BUT we’ve done a few moves in the local area and can honestly say that Spencer For Hire have been amazing […]

5 Reasons to Love Living at the Delaware Beaches

By Ali Gilliam, in All Communities

As locals to Southern Delaware, spouting off reasons to live near the beach is a breeze, but it’s more than just the free access to pristine beaches that make us fall in love with our local area time and time again, year after year. An endless array of outdoor adventures and countless options for fresh, […]

Discover the Trails of Delaware

By Andrew Rogan, in All Communities

Here in Southern Delaware, people move to get away from their offices, to leave the hustle and bustle of their morning commute behind, to enjoy lower taxes, and to put the stresses of life aside. They come to get outside, to wiggle their toes in the sand, to swing their driver on a par five, and […]

Local’s Corner – Clean Energy USA

By Adam Pettengell, in All Communities

We’re very lucky that we were able to purchase solar panels with our new home purchase.  Not a luxury everybody can afford or can they?  The math behind solar is pretty amazing.  Yes it helps that Schell Brothers has a sister-company, Clean Energy USA, to make the math even more encouraging.  With an incentive off the […]

Local’s Corner: Salvaged and Haute

By Adam Pettengell, in All Communities

Buying a new home is a massive moment in your life and a huge investment.  As my wife aptly phrased it: you can’t have an amazing home without then decorating it amazingly!  Tis true.  We were very lucky and used the Schell paint option so the house was already painted when we moved in.  With […]

Meet the Construction Team, aka the Muscle, at Coastal Club

By Adam Pettengell, in All Communities

In the sales office, Jordan, Donna and myself are obviously the face of Coastal Club. Always good to have such pretty faces 🙂 but in reality, it’s the construction team that have built, pardon the pun, the platform for which Coastal Club sits on today as the fastest selling community at the beach. We’ve just started construction in […]

Why My Parents Chose to Retire to Delaware

By Gary Desch, in All Communities

Some people think when you retire you have to move all the way to the Carolinas or even Florida to get the tax benefits. Not anymore.  Just ask my parents who made the move from Maryland to Delaware, ranked the #1 state to retire.  They love it and haven’t looked back. My parents wanted to […]

Local’s Corner: Home Insurance with Eric Blondin

By Adam Pettengell, in All Communities

I get asked by a lot of my homeowners about home insurance in Delaware.  Obviously, home insurance needs to be in place before you go to settlement as you pre-pay your insurance.  A lot of ‘my people’ are from out-of-state and their insurance agents will not insure their home at the beach.  Crazy but true.
