About Carmela

Carmela has been a licensed agent since 2017 and began with Weichert Realtors in Mullica Hill, and shortly after, started The Cetkowski Team in early 2018. In 2019, she moved her team to eXp Realty, obtained her Broker’s license in 2020, and opened a branch office in Woodstown, NJ in 2021. In 2025, The Cetkowski Team moved to a new location in Carmela's hometown of Swedesboro, NJ. Before becoming a full-time agent, Carmela earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Widener University, where she met her husband, Rich. After college, she worked at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital’s Andrology (Men’s Reproductive Health) Laboratory. When Rich was commissioned with the United States Army, he was stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX, and she had to pivot into another career as a traveling Interoperative Neuromonitoring Specialist in the operating room with Biotronic and later Neuromed. After Texas, Carmela and Rich moved to Bowie, MD because Rich’s duty station was changed to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. While living there they welcomed three children, Rich deployed to Iraq, and after 5 years in Maryland, Rich received orders to PCS to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, CO. While in Colorado, Carmela started a successful business in direct sales. After 11 years of moving around, Carmela and Rich moved back east and settled down in Swedesboro, NJ, near friends and family. Carmela and Rich have successfully grown their investment property portfolio by purchasing and rehabbing several properties, and most recently, they bought a restaurant, Old Town Bagel, in Swedesboro, NJ. Carmela possesses a wealth of experience in real estate investing and business, which she has cultivated over the past few years. Over the years as an Army spouse, Carmela gained experience with the moving process, buying homes, helping Rich renovate them from top to bottom, and then selling them for a profit. On a whim, she signed up for a real estate course and decided to dabble a bit in the field. Quickly after starting, she fell in love with helping others find the right property, and this “hobby” became a passion. Since then, she has personally assisted more than 300 families in making their real estate dreams a reality. Carmela is very relationship-focused, and her clients quickly become friends who are like family.

5 star treatment

This is the second home that Carmela has sold for me and I can’t say enough about how easy she is to work with. Carmela is efficient and on top of anything that needs to be done to sell you home quickly. She is so kind and easy to talk to and is available for any question that you may have. Her professionalism and knowledge in real estates is top notch!

First Time Home Buying- Made Easy

First Time Home Buying- Made Easy

First time buying a home here- and Carmela made it a breeze. Her communication style is unbelievable - you find a house you want to see? She’s already booking a showing the minute you text her. She is a calm, respectful and generous person who wants to get you a good deal, and for you to be happy with your purchase. We had some hiccups with the transfer of ownership with the house due to solar panel company issues- and she was basically my therapist during that month! So patient, encouraging and kind. She continues to stay in touch, offer recommendations of local services, and check in every now and then. Completely unexpected - and so incredibly appreciated. I genuinely enjoyed working with Carmela- she really sets a high standard for agents. She’s successful for a reason!

Excellent communicator, understands the market and always ready to solve problems.

Excellent communicator, understands the market and always ready to solve problems.

Carmela helped us select professionals in the trades to correct problems. She successfully negotiated home price and replacement cost for a new roof and some plumbing issues. This was critical to us because we were new to the area and unfamiliar with reliable tradesmen. She helped make our home purchase a pleasure and we would recommend her without question..!!!

Did an excellent job of helping us sell our home.

Did an excellent job of helping us sell our home.

Carmela was very good at calming us down when we got stressed during the home selling process. She made herself available when calling or texting. She was very easy to talk to. She stepped in to help us when we needed assistance with getting a certificate of occupancy. We would definitely recommend her.

From one Realtor to Another....

I was the sellers agent on a recent closing where Carmela represented the buyer. From start to finish, Carmela was a pleasure to partner with to bring this deal to the closing table. Carmela truly cares about her client and I felt like I was working with a professional, honest and thoughtful agent the entire process. Hope to be able to work together soon!
