She loves being a successful Realtor, hitting eight-figure totals in sales over the last few years. “I work in all price ranges,“ she says. “I treat each person and property equally. I’m very proud of that.” She covers Chester, Mont- gomery and Delaware Counties and is licensed in Delaware and Maryland. Pent up demand from both buyers and sellers, including more potential buyers looking to leave the city, is keeping her busy. “I’m only starting to see some concrete stats on that, with some houses selling to people from out of the area. In general, things are really popping now.” Mohr Teetor credits her father John, 94, a NewYork City adver- tising executive, for her business acumen and her mother Nancy, 87, who was active in saving century farms, protecting streams and promoting smart growth, for instilling a strong appreciation for open space.

Zoned rural development, there is an easement to a small development bordering the prop- erty that may, someday, be used to connect to public sewer/water for development potential.
