About Homeward Bound Realty

In early 1994, Country Classics new home builders, Scott and Todd Van Cleef, partnered with a local licensed Broker to form their own in-house real estate division, Homeward Bound Realty, Inc. Their original intent and focus were and still is primarily to promote new home sales and rentals in Country Classic communities. Their experienced staff attracts referrals from both inside and out of the Country Classics communities. Their hard work and passion for real estate has helped them maintain success in both strong and mediocre markets. They handle a wide spectrum of services and diverse products ranging from the sale of that first newly constructed single-family home to listings, sales, and rentals of condominiums, townhomes, age-restricted dwellings, and existing homes. Moreover, their territory has expanded from central New Jersey to eastern Pennsylvania with the opening of their Pennsylvania office.

In terms of Country Classics built homes, no staff possesses more knowledge or expertise more than the Homeward Bound team. Homeward Bound Realty, Inc. confidently looks forward to ongoing accomplishments and achievements!
