Joe McDermott REALTOR

I was raised in Upper Bucks County and have lived in the Lehigh Valley for 25 years, working in journalism, local government, regional economic development and public relations before earning my real estate license. That grounding provides me with an extensive knowledge of the Lehigh Valley that I put to work for my clients, whether they are looking for a new home for their growing business or their growing family. 

As a commercial REALTOR, my experience in city government and economic development make me familiar with not only the geography of the region, but the processes involved in commercial development as well as various incentive programs provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through agencies such as Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp. and the county and municipal organizations.

On the residential side, my journalism and public relations background has given me a unique knowledge of the communities of the Lehigh Valley and its surrounding region, so I can help both buyers and sellers target their market based on their particular needs and desires.

As a trivia buff and avid local historian, I enjoy sharing facts about the region's unique communities as well as the fascinating historic, cultural, sports and music landmarks that make the Lehigh Valley such an interesting place to live and work.
