Founded in 1915 by Karl Weidel Jr. as The Weidel Corporation, the company’s humble beginnings started with a singular office offering insurance and real estate sales in Trenton, New Jersey. Over the next 100 years, the company expanded with numerous offices and evolved to include mortgage, assurance, and relocation services. Since inception, the company has remained focused on providing excellent client service, operating with reliability and integrity, remaining humble yet hardworking, and dedicating both time and resources to aid in their agents’ development, growth, and success.
Up to today, Weidel Real Estate continued to be family-run with Richard Weidel Jr., who joined the company in 1979, holding the title of CEO and Broker of Record, and his daughter, Katherine Weidel, who joined the company in 2019, holding the title of Chief Operating Officer. The brokerage has become a staple in their markets, growing across Central New Jersey and Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley and greater Bucks County.
