I use this space to share insight, experiences, and useful information around Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, including Delaware County, Chester County, and Montgomery County PA. While much of the focus is on real estate, buying and selling homes, and local market trends, I also write about the neighborhoods, communities, and everyday topics that shape life in and around the city. With over fifteen years of experience working throughout Philadelphia Real Estate and the suburban markets, my goal is to offer clear, practical perspective that helps people make informed decisions, whether they are planning a move, investing, or simply staying connected to what is happening locally.
As a Philadelphia Real Estate Agent and Listing Agent in Philadelphia, I regularly cover topics related to selling your home in Philadelphia, pricing strategy, preparing a property for the market, and understanding what buyers are truly looking for. I also share insight into how strong marketing, local knowledge, and professional relationships impact results. If you are thinking about selling in the city or surrounding suburbs, these posts are designed to give homeowners an honest look at what it takes to sell confidently and successfully.
For homeowners and buyers outside the city, I focus heavily on Delco Real Estate, Chester County Real Estate, and Montgomery County Real Estate. From working as a Delco Real Estate Agent to helping clients sell their Delco home, I break down market conditions, neighborhood trends, and timing considerations that matter. You will also find guidance for buyers navigating competitive markets and sellers looking to position their homes the right way in today’s environment.
And sometimes, this space goes beyond real estate entirely. You might find me writing about the Phillies, the Eagles giving me a headache on Sunday, the Flyers ongoing goalie problems, or whether Joel Embiid’s status for the game that night is about to ruin my mood. I also share restaurant recommendations, date night ideas, and fun things to do around the Delaware Valley. This blog by Mikey Parisano is meant to reflect real life in and around Philadelphia, covering everything from homes and neighborhoods to sports, food, and the moments that make living here what it is.
