Ask and you shall receive!

After putting their gorgeous Montville Township, N.Jersey home on sale for $3.8 million back in May, Melissa Gorga and hubby Joe have sold their property for the asking price, Us Weekly reports.

"We tried Montville, but it just wasn't for us," Joe told the magazine back May 2012. "We want to go back to Franklin Lakes, which is closer to where I work, and we're looking at a couple of properties now."

Pretty practical, huh?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars leave behind a colonial style home that was built in 2009. The picture perfect property featured six spectacular bedrooms and seven bathrooms, which the couple shared with their three children, Antonia, Gino and Joey. Other selling perks included a three-car garage and four luxe fireplaces.
