In the span of just six years, Britt McLaughlin has played a mentor role in countless homeowner journeys. Through guidance, expertise, and teamwork, she proudly steers her clients toward their real estate goals, and being able to contribute to her community in such a meaningful way, through her company (She Moves -The Britt McLaughlin Group), is something she values.

Originally from Bucks County (New Hope by way of Bensalem), Britt built many life memories in the area before moving away to college. She attended the University of South Carolina, receiving a degree in business, and began her professional life as a sports information director at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, before eventually transitioning to a director of operations role with a software company.

Despite exploring these varied paths prior to tapping into her real estate talents, Britt says her connection to the housing industry has been ever-present through all stages of her life. “My father is a well-respected residential custom home builder in Bucks County, and my mother was a REALTOR® for the majority of my childhood. She runs multiple businesses that include investing, GC, and a few ancillary companies that lend their services to my father’s construction company. They have always been savvy real estate investors, which demystified the process at a young age for me and gave me a glimpse into the need [to] own property and the financial stability it can provide.”

After years of receiving encouragement from her mother to become a licensed agent, Britt finally decided to heed that advice, after going through the process of purchasing her first home. The experience ignited her interest in the field, and she knew that her background in operations and hospitality, coupled with the insights she had gained through observing her parents over the years, would position her for success and allow her to o er a fresh perspective to buyers, sellers, and investors.

As she started along the real estate path, Britt made a commitment to making sure her clients never felt like just a number, and that best practice is still a cornerstone of her business today. “For me it is about the connection and relationship. I like to build trust and rapport with my clients that will last a lifetime. I like connecting with so many di erent people, finding commonality, and helping them realize their goals,” she explains.

In order to plant seeds for continued future growth, Britt eventually decided to form her own team, and she says the initiative was based around a classic sentiment: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. “I wanted to bring people together who have big whys and who want to use real estate as their vehicle to support those whys. I strive for an abundance mindset. I want every member of my team to have massive

Work, family, and hobbies aside, Britt also finds it important to carve out time for volunteering, and she tries to focus her e orts with groups that provide hospitality to some of Philadelphia’s most vulnerable. “I typically volunteer at Broad Street Ministries and St. Francis’s Kitchen. I also try to help out as much as I can when people come to us looking for voucher housing assistance. We held a sign-up assistance event when PHA opened their waitlist this year for voucher housing. Housing should be a basic human right, and serving those without housing seems like the best place to spend my e orts and energy...” she shares.

Whether she’s working toward such valuable enterprises or helping clients navigate the world of buying and selling, it’s evident that Britt has a sincere passion for all things real estate, and with 20-plus industry awards to her name, it’s equally evident that she knows how to parlay that passion into results. Having recently relocated back to New Hope, Britt is excited to expand her business to her hometown, and she is confident that She Moves will be helping clients make – you guessed it – all the right moves… for years to come.

"Judd is my number one go-to for anything insurance-related. For my clients as well as personal. Judd is a wealth of knowledge and is a great resource for understanding what type of coverage is needed for all di erent properties, cars, personal belongings, etc. If he isn't able to take on the policy he is well networked in the industry where he can at least guide you in the right direction. The thing I love about Judd is you know he's a straight shooter, he walks you through the process, and at the end, you know you're covered in the most comprehensive way without over-selling you on things that don't make sense. I have used and recommended him countless times and I can't speak any higher than the service that Judd and his team at Statefarm provides!" -

As he made a professional transition to real estate in 2010, Martin concentrated his e orts on the rental market, specializing in the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) for nine years. “We primarily redeveloped Victorians in the East Falls/West Germantown Area. I moved to Point Breeze during that time as well, seeing the neighborhood change, which intrigued my interest in new construction,” Martin recalls.

That interest sparked an evolution in his business, and Martin expanded his focus to working with buyers and sellers. He attended the Temple University Real Estate Institute and merged what he learned there with his well-rounded industry experience, in order to serve a wider range of clients. “We work with a lot of investors and first-time buyers, sell them places, and rent them out afterwards. We also sell turnkey homes, build new construction houses, and produce a lot of rehabs as well,” he explains of his operation’s current landscape.

Helping others build wealth through real estate is one of Martin’s favorite aspects of his job, and ensuring his clients are successful in reaching their portfolio and/or homeownership goals is important to him. He prides himself on being patient, laid back, honest, thorough, and professional throughout the entire listing process, and he credits diligent listening as a key initiative in meeting client expectations.

By taking part in continual training and masterminds, Martin ensures that he stays up to date on best practices and industry trends, which allows him to serve as a well-informed resource for his clients. And while he is constantly adding new skills to his REALTOR® playbook, Martin is just as frequently leaning on some tried and true ones. He specifically excels in negotiations, and, in the past two years, he is proud to have secured a total of $434,756 in price reductions for buyers.

Unsurprisingly, this skill resonates with his clients, and Martin closed out 2022 with a 78% referral rate, something that he says he does not take for granted. “[I am] extremely grateful to all our clients who recommended us to their friends, family, and colleagues.”

One of Martin’s favorite industry memories falls along those lines and revolves around a client he met at the open house of his first million-dollar listing. “We stayed in touch for a year and a half until he was ready to buy a home. I was glad to receive the opportunity to represent him in the biggest purchase of his life. We found him a new construction home, and I was able to negotiate a 34K discount; he took me out to dinner recently and asked me again to help his family nest in a shore home. It was an amazing gesture of him recognizing my hard work by becoming a repeating client,” Martin shares.

The quality of his service is reflected not only in the word of mouth he receives from clients, but also in a host of industry awards. In April, May and June of 2023, Martin was a Top 10 Individual Producer for Keller Williams, in the Greater PA region, out of more than 11,000 KW agents and 46 KW O ces. In March 2023, the Atlantic City Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity, Inc. honored Martin for his leadership and community impact. In May of 2022, he was recognized with the number 1 ranking for Closed Units, in the Greater PA region. For the majority of 2022 and 2023, he was in the top five, as an individual agent, out of 475 agents at KW PHILLY. In April and December 2021, he was recognized as one of the top five individual agents at KW Philly. By yearend in 2021, he ranked in the Top 10, in the Greater PA region, out of more than 10,000 agents. In 2021, he was awarded the Homesnap Excellence in Client Service Award.

When he isn’t hard at work, Martin can be found enjoying downtime with his family. He enjoys going to the beach with his wife and two children, and mod est pleasures, such as exploring new restaurants and simply watching his kids grow, are family moments he treasures as well. Martin’s crew is rounded out by an interesting assortment of pets: two Amazon parrots with vibrant personalities, and marine fish who reside in a salt aquarium tank.

Martin’s free time is also marked by active pursuits, as he enjoys biking every weekend, sailing on the Delaware River, swimming, and attending boot camp and yoga sessions. Staying in such great shape a ords him the opportunity to participate in many 5K and 10K races that raise funds toward finding a cure for cancer, a cause that Martin is happy to support. He also con tributes resources to the nonprofit, Simon’s Heart.

It’s often more than the thought that counts. When it comes to business gifts, the whole package matters! From design to delivery, no one does a better job of delighting clients than Savvy Custom Swag. That’s because Founder and CEO Katie Sessegnon Taylor lives to see people enjoy gifts that let them know they are loved. She and her team have spent the last decade elevating the promotional gifting experience and increasing its ROI.

“Our business is to promote yours through marketing acumen, top-quality swag, and gifts,” Katie says. “We love working with business owners to show them how to strategically use personalized and branded gifts to increase sales, referrals, and productivity. Nothing excites us more than seeing the joy on a client’s face when they see their logo and event ideas brought to life by the quality and creativity of custom-branded swag.”

An entrepreneur herself, Katie has long understood the power of the personal touch. She started her first business at 12, creating custom crocheted slippers in her hometown of Brownsville, PA, and adding a monogram to each pair. Katie sold enough slippers to buy her first computer and treat herself to leather boots. After high school, she attended the University of Pennsylvania, fell in love with Philadelphia, and decided to stay and launch her next business venture here.

“I started my consulting company, Prospecting Professionals, to help business owners increase sales and train their teams,” Katie says. “But after the recession of 2008, I wanted to return to my roots of designing and creating gift items. So in 2012, I launched GetYourGiftHere.com. However, I was working with outsourced vendors and couldn’t control the quality of their work. Needing a more reliable product line, I started handling the bulk of our production in-house. We formed The Savvy Gift Giver, LLC in 2018, and since then, we’ve predominately focused on Business-toBusiness gifting.”

“It was very challenging at the start, especially working 9 to 5 with my other job. You are working during those times when you could be showing and working with clients. But my Broker at the time, Keira Ingram, opened up the opportunity for me. She called me and created an opportunity for me to work within the brokerage on an hourly basis,” Anesha remembers. “She gave me my jump start. I didn’t just get here out of nowhere. She took a gamble with me. If it wasn’t for her creating the opportunity, I may not have had the ability to go full-time.”
