Tom Roth Home Sales is a residential real estate practice operating under the Keller Williams Real Estate brokerage umbrella, with offices located at 1605 N Cedar Crest Boulevard in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The practice serves buyers and sellers throughout the Lehigh Valley, a region that includes Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and the surrounding boroughs and townships of Lehigh and Northampton counties. The business is veteran owned and can be reached by phone at +1 484-225-9942.
The Cedar Crest Boulevard location places the office on one of Allentown's primary north-south corridors, near the West End and within convenient reach of Route 22, I-78 and the residential neighborhoods of the city's western side. This positioning gives the practice practical access to a wide cross section of Lehigh Valley housing stock, from century-old city rowhomes and West End colonials to newer suburban developments in Upper Macungie, South Whitehall, Lower Macungie and the townships stretching toward the Northampton County line.
Services Offered
The practice handles the full range of residential real estate transactions for individual clients rather than institutional accounts. Core services include:
- Buyer representation, including property searches, showing coordination, offer preparation and negotiation, and guidance through inspection, appraisal and closing
- Seller representation, including comparative market analysis, pricing strategy, listing preparation, marketing and offer evaluation
- First-time buyer guidance, covering the basics of financing, down payment assistance options, inspection expectations and the sequence of a typical Pennsylvania transaction
- Coordinated buy and sell transactions for homeowners who need to sell an existing property and purchase another within an overlapping timeframe
- Relocation support for buyers moving into the Lehigh Valley from other parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey or the New York metropolitan area
- Investment and rental property consultation for clients evaluating multi-unit or income-producing residential property
Consultations are available both at the Cedar Crest Boulevard office and remotely. The business offers online appointments as well as onsite services, which allows initial conversations, listing presentations and buyer consultations to take place by video call when schedules or distance make an in-person meeting impractical. Appointments are required, so prospective clients should call to arrange a time rather than dropping in.
Market Focus and Local Context
The Lehigh Valley has been among the more active housing markets in eastern Pennsylvania over the past decade, driven in part by its proximity to the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, the growth of warehousing and logistics employment along the I-78 corridor, and the ongoing redevelopment of downtown Allentown and Bethlehem. Those conditions have produced a market where inventory levels, pricing trends and buyer competition can shift meaningfully from one neighborhood to the next and from one season to the next.
Practical familiarity with those local variations is central to how the practice operates. Pricing a home in Allentown's 18104 zip code involves different comparables and different buyer expectations than pricing one in Emmaus, Whitehall or Nazareth. Similarly, buyers searching in the Parkland, Salisbury or East Penn school districts encounter different levels of competition than those looking in other parts of the region. The practice works with clients on strategy that accounts for those distinctions, including how to structure an offer in a competitive situation and how to prepare and position a listing to draw multiple interested parties.
Working With Keller Williams
Keller Williams Realty is one of the largest real estate franchise organizations in the United States, operating on an agent-centered model in which individual agents and teams build their own practices while drawing on the brokerage's technology platform, training programs and referral network. For clients, the affiliation means that a local practice is backed by national marketing reach, standardized transaction management systems and a relocation referral network that connects buyers and sellers across markets.
The Allentown market center on Cedar Crest Boulevard serves as the administrative base for the practice. Clients who visit the office for meetings, document signings or consultations will find a professional setting with support staff and conference space available.
Accessibility and Facilities
The Cedar Crest Boulevard office is wheelchair accessible, including the entrance, the parking lot and seating within the building. Parking is available onsite. For clients with mobility considerations, the combination of accessible facilities and the option to conduct meetings online provides flexibility in how consultations are scheduled.
Inclusivity
The business identifies itself as LGBTQ+ friendly and as a transgender safe space. Housing discrimination remains a documented concern nationally, and explicit statements of this kind are intended to signal to prospective clients that they can expect equal treatment and respect throughout the process of buying or selling a home. The practice is also identified as veteran owned, a background that some clients find relevant when working with military families, VA loan buyers or those relocating for service-related reasons.
What to Expect From the Process
Pennsylvania real estate transactions follow a defined sequence: agreement of sale, inspection period, mortgage commitment, title work and settlement. Timelines commonly run between thirty and sixty days from accepted offer to closing, though cash purchases can move faster and transactions involving contingencies or repairs can take longer. Clients should be prepared to provide mortgage pre-approval documentation early in the buying process, as most Lehigh Valley sellers expect it before considering an offer.
Sellers typically begin with a market analysis and a walkthrough to identify any preparation work that would improve presentation or address likely inspection findings. Photography, listing syndication and showing coordination follow. Buyers generally start with a consultation covering budget, financing, target neighborhoods and must-have features, followed by an ongoing search and showing schedule.
Contact and Scheduling
Tom Roth Home Sales can be reached by telephone at +1 484-225-9942. Because appointments are required, calling ahead is the most direct way to arrange an initial consultation, whether in person at the Allentown office or by video conference. The practice serves clients across the Lehigh Valley and the surrounding communities of eastern Pennsylvania.
