If you have spent any time house-hunting—or simply scrolling through real estate listings—along Absecon Island, there is a good chance you have come across the Silverstein Group.
Led by lifelong Margate resident Eric Silverstein and operating from Marchese Real Estate’s Margate office, the Silverstein Group has become a trusted local resource for buyers, sellers, investors, and landowners throughout Margate, Ventnor, Longport, and the surrounding Jersey Shore communities.
The group combines an understanding of luxury coastal real estate with the firsthand local knowledge that comes from living, working, building, and investing in the community it serves.
Eric is not simply selling homes in this community—he grew up here. In fact, full disclosure: he was my next-door neighbor growing up in Margate, and long before he was selling homes on our cul-de-sac, he was out there playing street hockey on it. As a lifelong Margate resident, he understands Absecon Island from both a personal and professional perspective. That includes the differences between individual neighborhoods, the appeal of living near the beach or bay, the realities of seasonal ownership, and the details that can influence the long-term value and usefulness of a shore property.
Nearly a decade as a licensed New Jersey real estate agent has allowed Eric to pair that hometown perspective with substantial transaction experience. His knowledge extends across Atlantic and Cape May counties, giving clients a broader view of the South Jersey Shore market while maintaining a particular focus on Margate, Ventnor, and Longport.
For clients deciding between neighborhoods, evaluating an investment property, preparing to build, or determining how a renovation could affect resale value, that local foundation can make an important difference. It provides context that cannot always be found in a listing description or online market report.
Eric’s background in land development, new construction, and property renovation gives Silverstein Group clients access to insight that extends well beyond pricing and marketing.
He can help clients examine a property not only for what it is today, but also for what it may be capable of becoming. That can include conversations about potential home improvements, renovation opportunities, land use, building and usage codes, or the practical realities of working with local municipalities.
While architects, engineers, attorneys, and municipal officials remain essential for formal approvals and professional advice, having a real estate agent who understands the development process can help clients identify important questions much earlier.
The Silverstein Group announced that it crossed the $100 million sales mark during 2025—a significant achievement in a competitive and constantly changing shore real estate market.
The team credited the real estate professionals, referral partners, clients, and community relationships that helped make the milestone possible. It is the kind of number that reflects more than individual hustle. It reflects a network built around trust, referrals, collaboration, and successful transactions throughout the region.
The Silverstein Group works with clients at many different stages of property ownership—from beginning a home search to evaluating an investment, preparing land for development, or positioning a property for sale.
Guidance through property searches, neighborhood comparisons, showings, offers, negotiations, inspections, and the steps leading to settlement.
Market analysis, home valuations, property positioning, listing preparation, exposure to prospective buyers, negotiation, and transaction management.
Local insight for clients considering seasonal properties, long-term investments, renovation projects, rental opportunities, or land acquisition.
Searchable property listings, featured areas, rental listings, recent sales, market snapshots, mortgage tools, and online home valuation resources.
Client feedback surrounding Eric and the Silverstein Group repeatedly returns to several themes: strong market knowledge, responsiveness, straightforward communication, and an ability to make a complicated process feel manageable.
Past clients have described their transactions as smooth, professional, low-stress, and refreshingly easy to understand—even when navigating an unfamiliar sale or purchase for the first time. Eric’s negotiation skills and ability to explain the next step are also frequently identified as strengths.
Several clients have returned to work with him on multiple transactions or referred friends and family. In a relationship-driven market like the Jersey Shore, repeat business and personal referrals are among the clearest signs that an agent has earned a client’s confidence.
Local knowledge may open the door, but responsiveness, honest guidance, and successful results are what turn a transaction into a lasting relationship.
Absecon Island offers an unusually diverse real estate market. Buyers can find everything from entry-level condominiums and compact beach retreats to newly constructed homes, bayfront properties, and multimillion-dollar luxury estates. The Silverstein Group works across that range rather than limiting its services to a single type of client or property.
Luxury homes, new construction, established neighborhoods, beach blocks, bayfront living, and year-round community appeal.
Condominiums, single-family homes, historic properties, investment opportunities, beach access, and a vibrant year-round community.
Distinctive coastal homes, luxury construction, privacy, ocean and bay proximity, and one of the island’s most exclusive settings.
The group also assists clients throughout Atlantic and Cape May counties, including those relocating to the region or exploring additional South Jersey Shore communities.
The Silverstein Group’s tagline neatly summarizes its approach. Buyer services are designed to guide clients through every stage of finding the right home, while seller services focus on creating a seamless experience and placing each property in the strongest possible position within the market.
Whether the goal is purchasing a first home, finding a seasonal shore retreat, acquiring an investment property, building from the ground up, or completing a sale efficiently, the group’s stated priority remains the same: provide the highest level of service through integrity.
