Melissa Gorga and husband Joe Gorga are selling their unfinished Franklin Lakes mansion. According to Nj.com, the Real Housewives of New Jersey couple put the home put the 9,500-square-foot mansion on the market for $2.65 million.
The couple originally had planned to move into the five-bedroom home upon completion as fans witnessed on the Bravo hit reality television series, however they have instead listed it for $2.65 million.

According to Realtor, the home is a few hundred thousand dollars away from being finished. It needs kitchen appliances, high-end light fixtures, and a loving buyer who wants to finish the basement.
“It’s a gorgeous house,” says listing agent Jerome Sahlman of Re/Max Village Square-Upper Montclair. “Joe is a good builder who works like a dog from 6 a.m. till 9 p.m.”
Sahlman, who calls himself Joe’s “real estate guru” and sometimes collaborator, says “RHONJ” hurts the builder as much as it helps.
“They come off not looking very good,” Sahlman says of the show, which he thinks sells short Joe’s skills and work ethic. “He’s one of the hardest-working builders in the metropolitan area.”
Joe’s next project is a 37-unit apartment building in Morristown—they call it MoHo—that’s scheduled for occupancy in November. Rents at Morristown Lofts will range from $1,800 to $3,500, Sahlman says.
