A Strategic Approach That’s Tailored to You
Hi, I'm Steph Mahon - founder of Dwell New Jersey and a believer that real estate should feel smart, strategic, and fully supported. Before launching my business, I spent 20 years as a retail sales executive, known for redefining leadership, sales, and service. As a Director of Retail, I oversaw market expansion, evaluated prime locations, and negotiated complex deals — an early entry point into real estate that quickly became a passion.
I bring a fresh, modern perspective to the industry, grounded in creativity, resilience, and deep community involvement. I’m a champion for small businesses, a local resource, and the creator of “This Weekend,” our curated guide to North Central New Jersey. I’m committed to delivering excellence through a team I trust, a strategic lens, and a process designed to preserve your time and elevate your results. I’m excited to help you take your next step.

client stories
Maryann, Eric and their two children had outgrown their starter home in Westfield. They weren't necessarily looking to make a move right away, especially with the "crazy" market they'd heard so much about. But when a beautiful 1900s Victorian home became available in town, we went to look (just for fun) and they fell in love. We placed a bid that won against multiple offers due to the strategically tailored terms, and put their home on the market during the same timeframe. We were honored to help this family navigate their home sale and home purchase at the same time, and so happy to see them settled into their new chapter.
