to adopt the Rain Garden and
ready to take care of it. I could not
find that group. I reached out to
the Hammonton Canoe Club
members and they expressed that
it was too laborious a task to have
to weed and take care of some-
thing like that. As it stands right
now that’s not a project we’re
going to move forward with,”
Mazzeo said.
Mazzeo then asked the group to
approve two uses of facilities. The
first being a birthday party at the
Kiwanis pavilion and second, an
independent filmmaker looking to
shoot a film at the Lake Park on
the 30th of October. Commission
member Sam Rodio Jr. made a
motion to approve both, seconded
by Iacovelli and approved unani-
mously.
The next topic of discussion was
the annual Green Day Festival at
Hammonton Lake Park which was
held on September 21.
“The Hammonton Arts Center is
holding their Plein-Aire Art Con-
test down at the Canoe Club.
Along with that there will be ven-
dors, foods and crafts, as well as
free canoe and kayak rides on the
lake. It’s going to be a fun day,”
Mazzeo said.
Member James Borda addressed
the commission about some issues
that came up at a recent Hammon-
ton Little League meeting.
“The league will be spending
some money on fencing around
the senior field. The funds will be
coming out of the Little League
budget I believe. The other thing
that came up that I think is very
important are the lights at that

HAMMONTON—On September 17 at Stockton
University’s Kramer Hall on Front Street hosted
“Adulting 101: Real Estate Essentials,” a panel dis-
cussion about buying, selling and renting real estate
in today’s market.
The discussion featured seven local professionals,
each with experience in the local real estate market:
Frank Raso, Esq., a local attorney; Gabrielle Raso
Carini, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices Fox & Roach; Kelly Raso, a CPA with
Alloy Silverstein; Lisa Varesio and Nancy Wescoat,
of Ocean First Bank; Benjamin Ott, of Kingsview
Asset Management; and John D’Agostino, of
D’Agostino Agency. The Gazette’s Editor-in-Chief
Gina Rullo was the event moderator.
Via a question-and-answer session with attendees,
the panelists offered advice on a range of topics, in-
cluding the kind of agent to get for transactions.
“When you’re selling your house, you would like

same field. It’s gotten to the point
now where it’s actually danger-
ous,” Borda said.
The commission discussed
some options of improving the
outdated lights at that field with
the cost being a major concern at
this point.
The next meeting is scheduled
to take place at town hall on Octo-
ber 15 at 7 p.m..

to have a seller’s agent, because they’re representing
you. But when you’re buying a house, you would like
to talk to not the agent who’s selling it, necessarily.
You’d like to have a broker or an agent who is repre-
senting you,” D’Agostino said.
When a potential buyer or seller then sits down
with the agent, they can be shown a consumer’s dis-
closure to learn the exact role the agent is playing,
which should be explained up front.
“The reason that matters is that, if I am selling a
house for a friend, and you come to the door, I owe
you fair dealings, but I have a fiduciary relationship
with him,” D’Agostino said.
He went on to state that potential buyers would
then want their own agent to represent them as a
buyer, so that the agent in question then has a fiduci-
ary relationship with the buyer. The goal is to make
sure that the buyer has someone who will work for
them, and not for the seller.
The panel also discussed the pros and cons of own-
ing rental units, advising potential buyers to make
sure there is enough of a financial reserve to cover
