Meet Our Team

---

Upon migrating to Absecon Island as a young man in 1982 from the suburbs of Philadelphia, I had a clear vision of my ultimate goal: to become a licensed builder and land developer. Equipped with ambition, drive, determination, and an exceptional work ethic, I embarked on this journey. Starting in an entry-level position with one of the most highly regarded builders in town, I quickly absorbed and retained valuable knowledge. In a relatively short time, I became well-versed in all trades.

As I grasped the 'nuts and bolts' of each trade, I honed my skills as a strong communicator and focused intensely on the value of relationship-building in a business setting. This period of professional growth also led to meeting my wife and future business partner, Phyllis Scherr. Together, we leveraged her background in the arts, creativity, and business acumen to create and run Troy Rosen Builders for over a decade.

In 2005, after numerous successful projects and countless contacts in the real estate profession, we decided to transition into the marketing and selling side of real estate. Applying the same business philosophy, work ethic, and customer service we were known for as developers, we seamlessly and successfully moved into real estate sales. Over the past decade, we have become the undisputed leaders in the new construction sector, selling over a half billion dollars in real estate and closing approximately 750 transactions and counting.

In the pursuit of his goal to become a licensed builder and land developer, Troy Rosenzweig met me, Phyllis Scherr. Beyond being life partners, we became business partners, combining our unique talents to create a successful venture. My background in the arts, creativity, and business savvy played a crucial role in the creation and success of Troy Rosen Builders, which we ran for over a decade.

In 2005, recognizing the potential for further growth and success, I suggested we transition from development to the marketing and selling side of real estate. Despite initial trepidations, we dedicated our professional lives to becoming licensed real estate professionals. By applying the same business philosophy, work ethic, and customer service from our building days, we made a seamless and highly successful transition.

Our niche in the real estate market became the new construction sector, where our hands-on experience and expertise set us apart. Over the past decade, we have sold over a quarter billion dollars in real estate and closed approximately 500 transactions. Our success continues to grow each year, cementing our reputation as leaders in new construction real estate.

I am proud to be a valued member of the Phyllis and Troy Team of real estate professionals since 2015. Prior to my career in real estate, I worked in the beauty, hospitality, as well as the event and customer service industry. During those times, I was able to hone my personal and professional relationship skills which has suited me well in my career in real estate.

Since joining the team in 2016 my hard work and dedication to my clients  have earned me the New Jersey Circle of Excellence Award, year after year, as well as the many Berkshire Hathaway Chairmans Circle Diamond Elite awards earned by our prestigious team. I was raised in Philadelphia and developed a love for the Jersey shore while vacationing in Atlantic City. So many wonderful family memories were made over the years. Now it is my turn to help others find homes to make the life long memories I was so fortunate to have been able to make with my family. My trustworthy, honest, informative, responsive, thorough and knowledgeable nature is why I have become a sought after real estate professional. We at the Phyllis and Troy Team are soley focused on providing the highest level of customer service and guaranteeing a smoothe real estate transaction.

“The Best Interests of the Clients MUST ALWAYS COME FIRST!”  Is the mantra that Andrew Garber lives by in his professional life.  This guiding principle was ingrained into him while in the Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor Training Program.  During his career of over 25 years with Merrill Lynch, Andrew a CFM (Certified Financial Manager) helped manage, protect and grow the assets of his clients while helping them plan for many of life’s most important events such as education, retirement and estate planning. 

After a successful and rewarding career in the financial services industry, Andrew decided to pursue a career involving one of his lifelong passions, luxury automobiles.  Andrew enjoyed helping his clients with such iconic brands as Range Rover, Audi and Porsche and spent almost 10 years as a Certified Audi Brand Specialist with Cherry Hill Imports. 

Andrew grew up and raised his family in the Cherry Hill/Voorhees area.  Spending summers at the shore as a child and then as an adult, Andrew always knew he wanted to live at the shore year-round someday!  

Renting for a number of years then first purchasing a summer home in Margate, Andrew, his wife Lori, their boys Noah and Stone and labradoodle Teddy, now call Ventnor home!  Andrew says, “There is nothing like living all the time at a place where people vacation”.  To that thought, Andrew has decided to now concentrate full-time on helping others achieve their dreams of owning or renting property at the sea shore!  

Andrew had a tremendous experience with his personal realtors for his three transactions at the shore.  The Filis, Troy and Stacy Team has been buying, building and selling Absecon Island real estate for 35+ years with a keen focus on developing both personal and business relationships with their clients.

Andrew’s experience with Filis, Troy and Stacy in a business setting initially and then as personal friends, it was evident their talents blended well and they mutually agreed to join forces.

Through their many decades of business, the team is known for their dedication, diligence, trustworthiness, deep-rooted work ethic, and expertise of real estate and business transactions.  The Filis, Troy and Stacy Team  has delivered about a half $1 billion in real estate sales with an impressive database of highly satisfied clients.
