National Veterans and Military Families Month - Honoring: Serving Those Who Serve, Understanding Veteran's Housing Needs |

As we continue to highlight that November is National Veterans and Military Families Month, we will recognize the service, sacrifices, and stories of the military families within our REALTOR® community. For Sean Marasco, Tri-County Suburban REALTORS® member, and member of the United States Army, Pennsylvania Army National Guard, his service has shaped the way he approaches his career in real estate.
Sean has proudly served in the United States Army, Pennsylvania Army National Guard, since 2013. Joining the military at age 34 as an E-4, Sean actually celebrated his 35th birthday while attending Basic Training. Over the course of his military career, he advanced to E-7 (Platoon Sergeant) before graduating and being selected for promotion to Warrant Officer (WO1). Among his most memorable military experiences was deploying to Kuwait and Iraq. Reflecting on that time, Sean describes the unique connection formed between service members who experience deployment together.
"When you serve overseas, you develop a bond with the soldiers around you that is difficult to put into words. Going through the challenges, experiences, and responsibilities of deployment alongside your fellow brothers and sisters in arms creates a connection that lasts a lifetime. It's a bond that can never be broken, and it's something I will carry with me forever."
Sean's military service has also given him a deeper appreciation for the importance of homeownership and the stability it provides. He recognizes that military families often face unique circumstances, including deployments, relocations, and changing assignments, which can make navigating the housing market more challenging. There are also unique considerations when it comes to accessing VA home loan benefits and securing professional representation. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act introduced new mortgage disclosures designed to help veterans and service members identify potential eligibility for VA home loan benefits and compare VA financing with other mortgage options. NAR has successfully advocated for multiple policy changes on behalf of American veterans working with Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs, click here to read about them.
"I believe veterans and military families deserve to have someone in their corner who understands the sacrifices they make and appreciates the unique circumstances that come with military service."
Are you a Tri-County Suburban REALTORS® member who is currently serving in the military or is a veteran? We would love to recognize you!
Throughout National Veterans and Military Families Month, we're inviting active-duty and veteran members to share their stories and be featured in an upcoming member spotlight, an initiative led by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.
Reach out to Lauren Davis at ldavis@tcsr.realtor to participate.

SRA: East Brandywine to Consider Allowing Data Centers in Residential District
|
|
| |
|
East Brandywine Township will hold a public hearing to consider a curative amendment proposed by 500 ER-EBT Trust challenging the validity of the township’s zoning ordinance. The amendment would define data centers in the township code and permit them as a by-right use in the R-2 Residential Zoning District. The applicant owns approximately 25 acres at 500 E. Reeceville Road in the R-2 district. If approved, the amendment would allow data centers on all properties in the district, subject to applicable township regulations and other laws. The hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12, at 6 p.m. at Brandywine Wallace Elementary School. The board of supervisors will accept public comment before considering enactment.
