Tree-lined craftsman neighborhood in Portland, Oregon
Our Story

Starting Over - One Room at a Time

It can be overwhelming to look at a home and see all of the work that needs to be done to give it new life.  And like life, we refresh the parts of us that need work so that we can be the best versions of ourselves.  The homes that we choose to take on are unique and have the charm inside that needs a little bit of love to let out.  We accomplish this by creating a design flow as you travel through the home.  One room at a time, you will see how each individual design element carries you into the next space.

How Penny & Clover Began

Penny & Clover Properties was founded on a simple belief: buying or selling a home should feel personal, not transactional. After years working at large brokerages, partners Giancarla Floridia and Sean McHugh struck out on their own to build the kind of renovation company they always wished existed — one that takes the time to truly understand what a home means to the people who will live in it.

We specialize in craftsman and Arts & Crafts homes throughout the Central Jersey area. These aren't just houses to us — they are your homes.  Your home is the at the foundation of every memory that you will make with your family.  With that, your home is part of your family.  We know the neighborhoods, the builders, the quirks, and the stories. That knowledge is what we bring to every transaction.

Since the partnership formed, we have already improved over 20 different living spaces.

What We Stand For

Our Values

01

We've lived and worked in Portland for decades. We know every neighborhood, every block, and what makes each one special.

03

Craftsman Expertise

We specialize in period homes. We understand their construction, their quirks, and how to price and present them properly.

Personal Attention

You'll always work directly with one of us — never handed off to an assistant. Your transaction gets our full focus.
