I specialize in marketing houses in Maplewood, NJ and surrounding towns on the NJ Mid-town Direct train line. Sellers benefit from my proven marketing strategies which result in houses that sell quickly for the highest price and best terms. I pride myself on superior personal service, expert advice, and resources for everything related to your purchase or sale. In 2010, every house I marketed in Maplewood attracted multiple offers and sold twice as fast as the average.
As an ABR® (accredited buyers representative) I also work with homebuyers and specialize in working with first-time homebuyers making the transition from NYC boroughs to Jersey. After a decade in brownstone Brooklyn, I traded a small third floor walk-up on a main thoroughfare for a beautiful 1927 Center Hall Colonial with a picturesque backyard and a driveway. From house-hunting to house-warming, I will guide you every step of the way. My clients have access to my trusted and dependable network of contractors, lawyers, home inspectors, movers, hairdressers, you name it, and I’ll help you get it!
As one of the top 5 agents in the Maplewood office, I look forward to the opportunity to become your dedicated real estate specialist.
