Kathleen & David Kroll, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2011
“My Partner and I were faced with the daunting task of re-locating from Massachusetts to New Jersey last year. I had done some research and decided to focus our search in Maplewood and South Orange. We chose Amy as our realtor after a very complimentary recommendation. We were not disappointed. Amy has a keen insight to her customers and easily identifies their wants and needs and tailors her home searches to fill those desires. She is an expert in the area and made a very stressful process fun, even though we needed to make several trips back and forth to find a home. Her experience and constant communication helped guide us into the right home. Her negotiation technique, her extensive list of trades people and her diligence help get our deal done and our home exactly the way we wanted it. We couldn’t have done it without her. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we are extremely happy with both the Home we bought and the area we live. She is an excellent, smart and talented realtor who has become a trusted friend. We highly recommend her.” January 4, 2011

Douglas Nahigian, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2010
“Amy Paternite helped my husband and I buy our first home in Maplewood, NJ. She made everything so easy for us. She listened to our wish list and only emailed us properties that she felt matched what we were looking for (and they did!). She was extremely patient and was always willing to help in any way possible. Being first time buyers, she really spent the time to walk us through the process and answer any questions we had. She was aggressive, but not pushy, and we completely trusted her throughout the process. We highly recommend Amy!” July 26, 2011

She made herself available throughout the process. I highly recommend her without hesitation.” January 4, 2011

Sandra Mazara, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2010
“We first met Amy at an Open House in our neighborhood in Maplewood in June — and in short order she handled the selling of our house, and the buying of a new one, during a tough summer for real estate. Amy was particularly savvy in the pricing strategy of our home. She guided and educated us, showed us what similar houses were going for in the area, helped us realistically price our house, and then connected us with a stager who made it “show” – ready. The result: While other houses in our neighborhood are STILL on market, our’s sold in just over one month — and at a price we were happy with.” October 19, 2010

Eric Slutsky, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2010

Loretta Reardon, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2010
“We put Amy through the wringer in mid-08, when sellers were not yet ready to concede to a selling price for under the $500k glass floor in Maplewood. My then wife-to-be and I were under hard limits on offer prices. Amy battled through 3 or 4 multiple-bidder scenarios for us and eventually we won our lovely home. She is prompt, efficient, courteous, and dedicated. (Must also mention that she saved the day at our closing by coming just short of having to drive her car through our bank’s lobby to fix a bank teller’s clerical screw-up that surfaced just as we were about to sign the last bit of paperwork. She left the lawyer’s office, solved the problem, and was back with a bottle of bubbly and my now properly-endorsed hefty cashier’s check before the ink was dry!)” November 27, 2009

Chris Martin, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2008
“In 2009, when the economy was in the tank and my neighbors in Montclair had had for-sale signs on their lawns for month after endless month, Amy and her super-powered, web-enhanced marketing plan (to say nothing of her great staging advice) had our home under contract in EXACTLY ONE DAY.
Amy then negotiated the purchase of our new place for far less than asking; we are thrilled to now be living in a much nicer house than we ever thought we could afford. This was my third home purchase; as far as I can tell, Amy is the only realtor I ever worked with who not only demonstrably earned every penny of her commission, she also saved me a ton of money on top of that. If she did nothing else for us, I and my family would be enormously grateful to her for that.
Amy is also one of the most personable and charming people you will ever meet, and she knows Essex county real estate, block by block, like the back of her hand. She’s got a Rolodex of the best and fastest contractors and service providers in the state that she opens to her clients (a huge perk — I’ve found that anyone Amy recommends is utterly reliable and the best at what they do). And once you’re under contract, she’ll do anything necessary to make the process smooth, fast and on time. For us she hunted down missing permits, magicked up an insurance policy and talked a disgruntled seller down off the ledge. It was a difficult, complicated closing — and it went off without a hitch in just 30 days.
I’ve recommended and continue to recommend Amy to friends, family and co-workers with enormous enthusiasm. (Which is how we found her; we asked around for the best, no-bullshit, most-reliable realtor in South Orange/Maplewood, and kept hearing her name.) If I ever have to move again, I wouldn’t dream of trying to do so without Amy’s help.” November 9, 2009

“Amy was wonderful to work with throughout our entire home buying process. As a fellow ex-Brooklynite, she immediately understood us and our needs and worked very diligently on our behalf. She also had the patience of a saint as she took us to house after house, week after week, endless month after month until we found our perfect home. Through it all, Amy was very positive, responsive and her knowledge of Maplewood was an invaluable resource to us. We would definitely recommend her to any prospective buyer!” September 29, 2009

Thea Kearney, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2006
“Amy helped us find a house in the crazy waning days of the real-estate boom in 2007, when many buyers were still bidding up from the asking price — a game that we weren’t willing or able to play. Amy is a good listener. She quickly gathered what we were looking for — space needs, favored schools and walking access to the train stations, along with our price limit, and aided us in zeroing in on the ideal neighborhood and soon afterward, the perfect house.” July 25, 2008

Alan Goldstein, hired Amy as a Real Estate Agent in 2007
“If you are looking to move to New Jersey, we enthusiastically recommend Amy Paternite. Our family recently moved from Brooklyn to Maplewood and we were thrilled to be working with Amy. She was thorough and helped us to find a place that fit all of our needs. She was very knowledgeable and worked tirelessly on our behalf. We were very happy with everything she did to help us make the transition to the suburbs.”
Jill and Gabriel Mendelberg, December 2009
“Some of Amy’s many talents include her keen assessments of property values and how to effectively market and show case your home. But her other attributes include a unique ability to effectively negotiate a sale where both parties feel they were fairly treated and pleased. Amy’s accessibility and work ethic is unsurpassed.”
John Lorenzo , January 2011
