BERLIN BOROUGH, NJ – Berlin Borough has been the life-long home for Adriana Germano, who recently realized her ten-year dream of home ownership with the purchase of a beautiful new Chesapeake III townhome model in Tim Schaeffer Communities’ Lonaconing East.

Germano and her family members are no strangers to this builder’s South Jersey communities.  When Carriage Stop was being built in the 1990s, Adriana’s mother, then a REALTOR®, directed one of her good friends to the community, and subsequently, with her husband Mario,   moved into a Carriage Stop townhome down the street from her friend as well.

Adriana’s sister Andrea Devlin and her family were also “trail blazers” at Schaeffer communities, moving from Voorhees to the Timberview at Lonaconing,  when the community  was first under development.  Today, their yard backs up to their  parents’ home in Carriage Stop,   affording Andrea’s children easy access to Mom Mom and Pop Pop’s house.

Adriana herself had rented an apartment in  the Carriage Stop  for four years. Being a member of a close-knit family, she  wanted to stay near everyone.  Lonaconing East was the perfect location!

Her selection was an Express Delivery Home, ready for move-in with an excellent selection of options including  42-inch kitchen cabinetry, cherry wood flooring throughout the lower level, Corian countertops and crown molding already  in place.

The home is perfect  for Adriana who appreciates its location.  It is   convenient not only to family, but to shopping, services, Philadelphia and Atlantic City.  “I love my home!” she says.

Offering advice to new home buyers like herself, Adriana suggests to “buy within your means, choose an area with a great school system and educate yourself about new home purchase procedures, so you will understand and be comfortable with the process.”

Lonaconing East offers 68 luxury townhomes in a selection of three popular designs.  Homes are priced from the $240,000s.  The community is  conveniently located in Berlin Borough,  NJ  off Cross Keys Road near Berlin Park.  To visit, take Rt. 73  to Cross Keys Road.  Cross Rt. 30, passing Berlin Park on the right.  Lonaconing is 1/4 mile ahead  on the right.  The sales center and designer furnished models are  open from 10 to 6  Friday through Tuesday, closed Wednesday and Thursday.    For more information, call 856/768-1793 or visit www.timschaeffer.com.


"I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks at Tim Schaeffer Communities!

Although our home hasn't been built yet, my wife and I are very excited and have been thrilled with our experience from the very beginning.

Mary, you are great!! You made our decision so easy because you explain everything so well. We'll probably be back again to do some more measuring and we'll come up and say hi.

Sonja, thank you so much for making all the decisions on those interior details so easy. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do, but I can't tell you what a relief it was having your input. Whenever we felt uneasy about some detail with the floors, carpets and tiles you knew just what to do. You're awesome! Either we have similar tastes or your a mind reader... either way, thanks again so much!

It's just been a great experience and we wanted to say thanks! You guys are great!"
--Tim and Veronica Parrotte

You have been pleasant, quick to respond, and very knowledgeable.
Your expertise, help, and pleasant response to our calls have been very helpful.

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. I love my house and am enjoying it very much. All of your people there are so professional and so friendly. Tim Schaeffer Communities makes a beautiful home. The follow up is amazing and that’s the most important thing about customer service. Your customer service is just spectacular.
Tim Schaeffer runs a classy outfit. I just received another one of your gifts in the mail and also received a beautiful gift at settlement.
Tim Schaeffer Communities is a very special home builder.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything and adding those little special touches to buying a house.
Have a great summer; I know I will in my new house."
--D. Ernst, Resident
The Townhomes at Lonaconing


"As proud owners of a beautifully designed home we would like to express our sincerest thoughts pertaining to our experience subsequent to closing on our property. When we considered building a new home we expected setbacks that would put us at the mercy of the builder. That is why we researched local builders and after visiting several other communities we concluded Tim Schaeffer offered an exceptional home. Still we were concerned with the follow-up of any warranty items that would need attention after closing,

If truth be told, we have had quite a few items that needed attention and we were perturbed. But all our worries were superfluous in view of the fact that your warranty team of Elaine and Jessica were on the job! Thus far, every concern has been addressed by them in a timely fashion with the highest level of professionalism and courtesy. Moreover great effort has been made to work with our schedule, considering both of us are Registered Nurses and it is next to impossible to "just take a day off." Most importantly, they have maintained an open line of communication with us before, during, and after each and every issue of concern. We must commend your proficiency in team building, because they have truly made a difference in our overall experience. We ask that you recognize them for their extraordinary commitment to customer satisfaction, thank you."
--Mr. and Mrs. Vascos


"Smart growth is a term that can mean a lot of things. When applied to Tim Schaeffer Communities, it means maintaining integrity while doubling productivity. It means adhering to the highest environmental standards when developing a piece of property. It means building a solid business infrastructure before increasing sales. And it means providing the very best in long-term customer service. For this West Berlin-based homebuilder and developer, smart growth means continued success and recognition from its peers.

A look at just how prudently the company has grown is like a page out of the handbook for realizing the American dream. After more than 20 years working as a builder and then for a large development company, in 1989 Tim Schaeffer branched out on his own. With his wife Susan acting as controller and in-house counsel, the couple worked out of a room in their basement and started making their mark on various South Jersey communities. They have worked hard, maintained high standards, offered customers quality homes while keeping an eye to value, and house by beautiful house, they have developed their reputation as a quality homebuilder."
-- Builder Architect Article by Jessica Klarp


"When I told my home inspector that the builder was Tim Schaeffer, he told me I didn't need him and that I'd be wasting my money if I hired him to inspect a Tim Schaeffer home. He said, 'Tim Schaeffer is at the top of my list of builders, right up there with Gary Gardner and Jeff DuBrow, even though he's in a very different price range than they are.' He told me Tim Schaeffer uses very good subs and excellent materials. Several times he used the term 'el primo' to describe Tim Schaeffer's work."
--Customer


"I've lived in Delaware County for the past ten years while I worked at the Navy base in Philadelphia. I looked at over two dozen communities before I settled on this Tim Schaeffer Community. Before this, I never considered New Jersey a place to call home, but the Townhomes at Carriage Stop are just so much better constructed, that I had to buy here. As an engineer, I could see my investment in the Ashton III was well worth crossing the river and paying the bridge tolls."
-- Mr. Vincent Towner, Resident
The Townhomes at Carriage Stop


"We were delighted with Mr. Schaeffer's Staff and how they worked with us on our Cambridge III model. We were really pleased with the entire buying process, as it was so streamlined and yet the Staff was so flexible. Kristen and I looked at several other townhome communities in the area, some of them were by larger builders, but none compared to Tim Schaeffer Communities when it came to three important things: design of the home, quality of workmanship, and the value we felt we were receiving for the dollar invested."
--Mr. Jamie Borodin, Resident
The Townhomes at Carriage Stop


"We were apprehensive about our decision to downsize from a large single family dwelling to a townhouse environment. We did months of research on builders and checked numerous other townhouses in the New Jersey area. After going through Tim Schaeffer's sample townhouses at Carriage Stop, we saw quality workmanship and attention to detail. We knew immediately this was to be our new home. We have never regretted our decision to buy a townhouse built by Tim Schaeffer."
--Mrs. Bonnie Bendell, Resident
The Townhomes at Carriage Stop


"Tim Schaeffer Communities has completed several subdivisions in our township and they have been excellent. Tim is an award-winning builder whose quality of workmanship is immediately evident in the homes and communities he builds. Tim Schaeffer comes to the table ready to make a contribution. He is not just looking for what he needs; he is prepared to give something back. His professionals will meet with your township officials to minimize the approval process.

Schaeffer personnel are all extremely knowledgeable and professional. They come well prepared and are very cooperative. We would welcome more Tim Schaeffer Communities projects here and would definitely recommend to other townships that this is a home builder whose product will enhance your community."

Gothrie Short, Jr.
Chairman, Winslow Township Planning Board


"Over a three-year period, my brother and I negotiated the sale of a parcel of approximately 170 acres of ground in Winslow Township with Tim Schaeffer Development Corporation. Tim Schaeffer Communities is currently offering Single family homes in the subsequent neighborhood community of White Cedars.

I can't say enough good things about Tim and our experience in this transaction. He is a delight to work with, very honest and straightforward. When I called with questions, he would always get back to me promptly with answers, or would often stop by to explain any issues.

I would certainly recommend Tim Schaeffer Development Corporation to anyone who has land to sell, and would be happy to talk to any such person about our experience.

Tim is an excellent businessman and a super builder. I hope the White Cedars Community is a huge success."

Anita Bisetti


"Our names are Troy Perkins and Evette Myers and we reside in the new Tim Schaeffer Development, White Cedars. We wanted to take this opportunity and compliment your sales manager, Mr. Lou Cimini.

One of the questions we remember being asked during settlement is why we chose this particular site. The one reason that sticks out in both of our minds is Mr. Cimini. My husband and I are in total agreement that he was approximately 60-70% of the reason why we chose this particular location, and trust me, we viewed many. Lou was very attentive and warm with us and answered all of our questions. Because we looked at many new developments, at the end of the day my husband and I would talk about the service that was given to us and it seemed like none compared to the feeling we received when we first walked into the sales office where mr. Cimini greeted us with a warm smile and a firm handshake.

There were a few particular options that my husband was steadfast on receiving. This was an issue that needed to be brought to Mr. Schaeffer's attention. Lou called us personally at our job with the answer within a day. There was never a stone unturned. He took the time to explain every issue we had to the very least minute detail.

When there was a question with the walk-up well, Lou's first action was to consult the paperwork. When he went to the house personally and saw what was being done as opposed to what was indicated in the plans for the house, he quickly addressed the Project Manager and the problem was solved in a timely manner.

Every once and a while we still stop by the sales office and see Mr. Cimini. He is truly a great individual that enjoys his job. He gives great and detailed information to every individual that stops by that sales office. He is a friendly, warm and sincere individual and we enjoyed doing business with him. We can't say enough but Thanks Lou."
