People are flipping out over Joe Gorga‘s recent Instagram post about his house-flipping business, but Gorga claims it was just a social media snafu.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star raised the eyebrows of some eagle-eyed Instagram users after he shared “before” and “after” photos of a house he claims to have renovated — including a Park Ridge, NJ, woman who says she owns the “after” house and that the “before” home is located at a different address in town.

Caley Svensson exclusively told Page Six on Monday that she found it “really strange” when a friend of hers tagged her in Gorga’s Instagram post and she saw her house advertised as something he’d flipped.

“It’s clearly our house,” she said. “I messaged [Gorga] on the post to please remove it, but he never responded. I DMed him, as well, and he never responded either.”

Page Six has also confirmed through online property records that Caley and her husband, Erik Svensson, are the owners of the home that appears to be pictured in the “after” photo.

The now-deleted Instagram post shared on Sunday said, “Look at this flip worth $1.9m. Took me 6 months to turn this around. Ripped off the roof & added to the second floor. I think I might move in.”

Other commenters on Instagram pointed out that the house would have to be knocked down completely for some of the changes Gorga claims to have made. “Must of ripped out the first floor also to make a bi level a colonial,” one user wrote.

The house in the “before” photo is actually listed on Realtor.com as having a completely different address than the “after” photo, as seen in images from Google Maps. The “before” house was “recently sold,” according to the site.

However, Gorga exclusively told Page Six that his 21-year-old social media manager “made a mistake.”

The reality star recognized that the before and after photos were not of the same house, but said he did work on the gray home featured in the “after” picture.

“I helped fund that project,” he said. “I’m a private lender. I did fund the deal.”

For more on Joe Gorga’s house-flipping confusion, listen to this episode of the Page Six podcast, “We Hear“:

Caley told us she and her husband purchased the four-bedroom home in December 2018 from the builder himself and that the home was “totally demolished” and “rebuilt from the ground up. New basement and everything. It was not a ‘flip.'”

“It was a brand-new house, so it made me look even worse,” Gorga said of the incorrect post, agreeing with the Svensson family that the house was never “flipped.”

The “RHONJ” star added that he never spoke with the Svenssons directly to help fund the rebuilding of the property, but with a group of investors.

Erik told us they accept Gorga’s response that their house was mistakenly posted as a “flip.”

While Gorga has been heavily promoting his house-flipping business on social media lately due to the release of his new book, “The Gorga Guide to Success,” the “RHONJ” star told us, “I don’t flip people’s houses. I buy properties. I don’t deal with homeowners … because I am a famous guy and people overreact.”
