Real Estate Matters
By Elisa Jo Eagan
It’s a beautiful June in the neighborhoods of our Shore Local community. June is the month of graduations, proms, weddings, and celebrating Father’s Day this weekend, too.
In June of 1954, G. David Balsley, Inc. Real Estate opened its doors on Shore Road in Linwood, and began its 70-year journey of service to the community. Many of the homes built in the neighboring area in the 1950s were Balsley-built: split-level and ranch homes.
One well-known Balsley-built area is the Gold Coast, on the bay side of Shore Road in Linwood, developed to meet the housing needs of the growing Mainland community.
It grew after the return of veterans from the Korean War. Soon it was populated by local business owners, utility company executives and workers from Lenox China, and Federal Government employees working at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC) – now the William J Hughes Technical Center – which was founded in 1958. Many of these homes are still standing today.
The building boom of the 1950s and 1960s was on to accommodate the families moving “off-shore” from Atlantic City, Margate, Ocean City, and surrounding areas.
In 1977, Carlo Losco III joined G. David Balsley, Inc. And in the 1980s, the company became known as Balsley Losco Real Estate. Losco led as broker of the award-winning team of agents, owner and president of the company in service to the community and their families.
In April of 2005, Losco built a new location at 1630 New Road in Northfield. The Balsley Losco Realty Building is a home sales and marketing center that provides everything sellers need to complete the home sales/buying process including mortgage affiliations, agents, title services, on-site attorney services, training facilities and continuing education for its agents.
Founded on providing top professional services to the community since 1954, and now celebrating 70 years of four generations with thousands of satisfied home sellers and buyers, and still going strong, congratulations and thank you for your dedication and service.
Wishing a happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers, dads, daddies, step dads, and to all who step up to be a positive influence in a child’s life. Kudos to you. Enjoy your special day, especially in honor and remembrance of the dads who look out for us from Heaven.
