"Tamima is that rare gem in real estate brokers, she is straight forward, honest and very personable. She shared her experience, her thoughts, and helped us buy a great house that we've lived in for 10 years. I wouldn't use anyone else."

  -Micah Fink, Glen Ridge, Client

"Tamima helped us buy our first house. Four years later, she helped us sell that house and buy our second house. Over the years that we've know her she's been extremely patient, taking us to see houses all over the area -- even as we were "just looking". Recently her years of experience guided us to through a tricky simultaneous closing. Highly recommend!"

  -Bernard Gingras, Glen Ridge, Client

"Tamima has good insight and knowledge of the local area. Tamima helped us buy our first house and then sell that house 10 years later! She then helped us buy our new house and was professional and very responsiveness throughout the process. We highly recommend and endorsement Tamima."

  -Jason Clarke, Montclair, Client

"Tamima has helped me with numerous real estate transactions. One of which was incredibly difficult. Tamima went above and beyond what anyone could expect from a realtor and hung in there with me for 6 months until the sale was completed. She is loyal to her clients and works hard to ensure their needs are met. I always recommend Tamima to friends because I know she'll be there for them!"

  - Hillary Leonard, Montclair , Client

"We recently worked with Tamima Friedman to sell our house in Montclair and to buy another house in the same town. Tamima exceeded all our hopes and expectations! She was incredibly responsive and patient and was in constant communication with us, ready to allay our anxieties and answer all our questions. She is very knowledgeable about the industry and strategized with us about the best way to market our house. It certainly paid off! She led us through the process step by step, including recommending important but reasonable fixes to the house before it went on the market, arranging to have it staged, and advertising it in a very savvy way. Tamima is superb - and a delight to work with. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a house."

  -Shirley and Charles Cartwright, Montclair , Client

"Tamima’s expertise and guidance were invaluable to me as a first-time seller. She is incredibly knowledgeable about every step of the home selling/buying process in general and about the local market in particular, detail-oriented, and professional. Throughout the process, she was responsive and provided valuable insight, advice, and support. It was a true pleasure to work with Tamima and I recommend her highly."

  -Catherine Meza, Upper Montclair , Client

"I was new to New Jersey and was moving from a house to a condominium. Tamima understood my needs completely and immediately so I did not waste any time looking at inappropriate properties. In addition, she handled all of the complicated paperwork, interacted with both the developers of the building and attorney's. Since working with Tamima, I nave mentioned her name to friends and colleagues. Everyone knows her and praises her exceptional people skills and real estate know-how."

  -Nancy Leroy, Montclair , Client

"I will always send customers that look in Montclair/Maplewood and vicinity your way – I think you are one of the best realtors I have had the opportunity to work with and I worked with many over the years."

  -Miruna Stratan, Maplewood, Client

"Katherine is honest, hardworking and extremely knowledgeable about the area. She went "above and beyond" to help us get our home ready for the market. Gave much needed advice on what to do successfully show our home. "

  -Jean Behrend & Michael Barson, Glen Ridge, Client

"When I hire a professional to do something I don't know how to perfectly do myself, I look for the person who is one of the best at what they do. Additionally, I go to great lengths to make sure our communications will be clear and respectful. I interviewed 4 agents to sell my condo in Verona. From the very beginning, Tamima and her team proved why it made the most sense, in every way, to hire them. After a very respectful conversation regarding price, timing, and marketing, I then got out of the way and let them do what they do best. Lo and behold, Tamima led me through the process of multiple offers, negotiations, rectifying unexpected miscommunications with the prospective buyer, to a very smooth closing. I received above my asking price which is unusual for the building. I would hire the Tamima team again in a nanosecond - as a buyer or seller...and I can't emphasize enough how important it is to let them be the experts they are."

  -Emily Scott, Verona, Client

"We found Katherine at an open house during the beginning of our house hunting search and knew right away it would be a good match! Unlike prior experiences, we felt comfortable, not pressured and understood from the beginning. Katherine did a wonderful job of discerning exactly what we were looking for, and introducing homes to look at that we would not have found otherwise. Katherine is a strong communicator, works to be available with our schedule and is a patient partner through what can be a frustrating and exhausting forever home hunting experience in the competitive NJ market. She helped us successfully navigate through a bidding war, and now we are in the home of our dreams! We are so happy that we fell in with Katherine-thank you for everything!! "

  -Casey & Stephanie Peters, Caldwell, Client

"Tamima Friedman and the entire Tamima Team at Keller Williams provided outstanding support during the process of selling my home in Montclair, NJ. It was a difficult experience for me and Tamima was unflappable in the face of my angst. In the end, she negotiated an accepted offer that was 53% over asking price and the sale itself went through without a hitch, thanks to her wisdom and guidance. Tamima and her team are THE BEST.-- Sherri Neuwirth, Montclair"

  -Sherri Neuwirth, Montclair, Client

"We have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Tamima Friedman twice. When she helped us buy our home, we were so impressed with her that we did not for a second consider another real estate agent when it came time to selling our home. Tamima has an impeccable sense of current housing trends, an encyclopedic knowledge of the local market, and an individual and tailored approach to her clients which makes them feel instantly comfortable and trusting of her advice. Tamima also has a deep bench of folks, from stagers to handymen, plumbers to landscapers, etc who are at the ready to help with both selling a home and getting a newly purchased home to one's desired condition. We would wholeheartedly recommend Tamima and her team to anyone looking to either buy or sell their home. Working with her was one of the best decisions we have ever made. "

  -Alex Shteynberg, West Orange, Client

"I can’t say enough about Tamima Friedman as our realtor. At every stage of the process we found Tamima to be solicitous, organized, caring, helpful, informed, honest, transparent and genuinely responsive to our needs and wants. As first-time prospective home-owners, Tamima helped navigate us seamlessly through what could have been a daunting and stressful process. She availed herself at literally every juncture, and freely dispensed the kind of invaluable insight and advice that comes from years of working in the business at a high level. Perhaps most significantly, Tamima anchored us when things became increasingly hectic and fraught toward the end of the process. Thanks to Tamima and all of her tireless efforts, we are living in the town and house that is perfectly suited for our young family. Highly recommended!"

  -Danny Rothberg, Maplewood, Client

"Tamima Friedman is an excellent realtor. Smart, funny, fair and very hard working. She helped me with my 4th home purchase and the third house I have sold. Tamima went above and beyond what I had previously expected from a realtor. She is the person you want in your corner when the negotiations get gnarly. Tamima also cares about people and can help you navigate through the emotional roller coaster of buying and selling a home. (And no, I am not a relative nor did I know her previously to working together.) 5 stars."

  -Joe Catania, Montclair , Client

"We were making the tough transition from living in Manhattan for over a decade to the suburbs. Tamima made us very comfortable with her great local knowledge and really focusing on finding the right home, not just making a sale. In addition, once the offer was accepted she was also a great help in getting the inspection items agreed upon and doing all the other small things that need to get done to make the closing happen (such as making sure permits were closed out). If I was buying or selling in the Montclair area Tamima would be my #1 choice."

  -Matthias Leimer, Montclair , Client

"My husband and I worked with Tamima to purchase our first home, and then to find our forever home while selling our first home, and we cannot imagine a better person to guide us through each process - she is the best realtor around, but really so much more than that - therapist, designer, negotiator, friend, EXPERT."

  -Sophia & Matt, Bought & Sold in Montclair , Client

"After my mom passed away I had to sell her house in Montclair, NJ in a very timely fashion in order to satisfy the numerous bequeaths she made in her will and avoid inheritance tax issues. Tamima is great! She helped me and guided me through the process of selling the house in a detailed and thorough manner. She came up with a plan and then we executed it. Tamima is easy to work with and becomes your friend. She is competent, knowledgeable and always gets back to you. She's a very busy woman but she made me feel as if I were her only client! To borrow a catchphrase, "You're in good hands with Tamima!""

  -Ted Upshaw, Montclair , Client

"Tamima was wonderful to work with in our home buying process. She is extremely knowledgeable of the New Jersey market and was patient and helped us navigate the process of making offers on our first homes. She is detailed oriented and notices even small "problems" in homes, patient, and not pushy at all - we never felt pressured to make an offer over the 2 years that we worked with her. Although we didn't end up making a purchase in the end, Tamima was there for us the whole way. You really can't do better than Tamima :)"

  -Stephen Gray, Montclair , Client

"Tamima has helped my family TWICE find perfect homes! First was a rental, second was a purchase -- 4 years later. There are a lot of adjectives that come to mind around Tamima; funny, kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, inquisitive, intuitive, fair, professional. Tamima was really smart to ask us a lot of questions about properties we liked to ensure we were thinking everything through; she never implied an answer, just asked questions to keep us thinking about our particular answers. She is genuinely helping you find the right home for you. We never felt pressure and always believed she was firmly on our side. I can't say enough about Tamima and the positive experience she navigated us through TWO times."

  -Stephanie Fryling, Bloomfield, Client

"It was a pleasure working with Tamima to sell our home. She was extremely responsive, always available and a very tenacious agent. She was willing to work with us throughout the process and never gave up. Her knowledge of the market, both overall and locally, was amazing. There was never a time we considered changing agents. We highly recommend Tamima for your real estate needs; buying, selling, or renting."

  -Anthony Battista, Woodland Park, Client

"Tamima Friedman and her team (including her husband, Dan) assisted with the listing of our house and were always there to help with suggestions and support as we worked on the house to get it ready to put it on the market. The people from her office and those she used for staging were all top notch and easy to work with, Tamima's experience and expertise were invaluable, and she and Dan were a pleasure to work with, even under stress. They were all detail oriented, thorough, professional and extremely helpful, and willing to dig in with the smallest tasks. The house sold quickly, for a good price, and the process was the best it could have been! I highly recommend Tamima and her team!"

  -Susan Abraham, Montclair , Client

""We looked high and low for the right home to purchase for our family. Tamima was tireless in her assistance and helped us target the best properties and find our dream home! Tamima was a fighter and went to bat for us to get us our home!" "

  -Marc and Robin Meade, West Orange, Client

"If I could give 10 stars, I would... Since I can't give more, let me gush about how wonderful our experience was working with Tamima Friedman and her team at Keller Williams. My husband and I needed to sell our house quickly because we were moving out of the area and did not want to have carrying costs piling up. After noticing that Tamima had recently quickly sold a house on our street, we thought she and her team would be the perfect choice for listing our house. We were right! We contacted Tamima one week before our move date. She was able to give us an honest and thorough valuation for the anticipated sales price of our home. Her knowledge of the market is flawless; not only did her estimated FMV exceed our expectations, she was also able to get us an offer that was above list price. We had multiple offers within less than a week of our open house. "

  -Ashley O'Shea, Bloomfield , Client

"Katherine is the sweetest and very patient! It was a pleasure working with her, she listened to all our wants and needs and we managed to find the perfect house thanks to her. She made the process easy and has a great network of professionals around her (lawyer, inspectors, etc…) to help us close the deal. "

  -Gabriela Scheideman, Summit, Client

"Tamima knows the local real estate market thoroughly. She also knew real estate lawyers to recommend, made the transaction process itself easy, and was available for questions every step of the way. Anything she didn't know, she researched quickly and got back to us right away."

  -Susan Weinstock, Verona , Client

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Katherine on buying our first home. Katherine listened to both our wants and needs and provided us with various good listings to view. What I appreciated the most about Katherine was that before our first viewing, she sat us down and when through the entire process of purchasing a house. This was helpful because mentally we knew each step that followed once we were under contract. Since buying our home, Katherine has also provided us with recommendations for selected service providers.(i.e tree cutting services). If my husband and I find ourselves buying additional real estate property, Katherine will be our go to person."

  -Andrea Reyes, Nutley, Client

"I do not have enough kind words to say regarding Tamima"s expertise, demeanor, assistance, consulting...just such a fantastic, efficient, and professional job! My condo sale seemed a stretch at times, but she helped me stay focused and she got me just above my price! She is literally the best!"

  -Christopher Cheyennes, West Orange , Client

"I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend the wonderful realtor Tamima Friedman, who handled our complicated international home sale with an abundance of skill, grace, and good cheer. From the beginning to the end of the process, Tamima and her talented team showed great creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism in marketing our home, arranging visits, and negotiating offers. Her decorator made our home look picture perfect, even as we were living there. We moved abroad before the sale was completed, and Tamima handled our difficult buyers with the right combination of toughness and patience. Tamima’s team was extremely helpful in dealing with issues that cropped up after we moved which needed immediate attention. We felt fortunate to have Tamima on our side. She’s diligent, committed, and has tremendous integrity. And as a bonus—she’s a pleasure to work with."

  -Dana Hawkins-Simons, Upper Montclair , Client

"Katherine was great! She is very knowledgeable of the market in the area and discussed strategies for putting my home on the market. Once I decided to proceed with her, she set up a time line for meeting our target open house weekend, which was at the beginning of the spring selling period. Timing could not have been more perfect, considering the unplanned pandemic that we are all experiencing. The house sold that first weekend with multiple offers. Katherine then set the next time line for me, in order to get my part of the closing done to meet the planned closing date. With a slight glitch due to the pandemic, we ended up closing only two days later than planned. "

  -Heidi Maddaloni, Glen Ridge, Client

"Tamima has helped us with purchases, sales and rentals. Based on the depth and breadth of experience I have had with Tamima, i can assure you that you will get top notch service with any type of real estate transaction. As a seller's or buyer's agent Tamima will bring a strong sense of tactics to the table that can help you maximize value. She also is willing to do the work required to have a successful outcome. Coupled with detailed knowledge of the local market, you can't miss. Tamima has also helped us with our rentals and again brings strong tactics and market knowledge to the table to ensure that vacancies are minimized. She vets the potential tenants well and has a network of vendors that can help with issues as they arise, again minimizing vacancy and impact to cash flow. Tamima is very structured and that creates a good foundation to minimize and find solutions to the problems that are inevitable in real estate."

  -Brian Robinson, West Orange , Client

"We met Tamima in an open house when we were looking for our first home years ago, which we sold through her last summer. We had an instant connect with her due to her Asia living experience. Tamima is a charming person, knowledgeable agent and excellent negotiator. After 13 years, we needed to relocate and put the house on market, and once again Tamima helped us. She has very useful resources, from venders to pull out our junk to designers to stage our rooms, and also high standards on how to make the house “ready”. I was skeptical on whether staging is necessary, but after seeing the afterwards photos done by professionals, I had to admit the effect is obvious. Another hurdle we had was to refinish the old hardwood floor. Tamima advised us to leave the floor original without staining it. The result was fabulous and we saved time and money. After all the preparation, our house attracted a lot of viewers from the internet and we had multiple offers from every open house. Although it was"

  -Deyou Zheng & Lin Zhang, Nutley, Client

"Tamima is an absolute treasure and a marvel both personally and professionally! We think we are extremely lucky to have met her and gotten her help in buying our perfect home. Even though it is our first home purchase, we felt so confident and on top of the game with Tamima’s help. She is the definition of thorough. There should be another word invented to describe the level of attention to detail, efficiency, keeping up with the timeline, multitasking and being so responsive and friendly at the same time. We felt like we were the only ones on her plate and she was giving us a 100% of her time (even though we knew she is working with many others simultaneously). We couldn’t be happier with our purchase. And couldn’t be more grateful to Tamima. We will surely engage her for any other real estate transaction we might have and recommend her to all our friends."

  -Lidia Shelley, West Orange, Client

"I had placed my house on the market several years ago when I got a job offer out of state. Tamima provided me with a in-depth market comparison which helped me appropriately determine a price and the optimal time to list the house. She conducted an open house and I received an offer within a couple of days. Even after the deal fell through due to a buyer contingency issue, she was able to get multiple offers on the house. Unfortunately the timing of my listing coincided with uncertainty over federal flood insurance rates after Super storm Sandy and I was forced to pull the house off the market and look for a tenant. Tamima helped me find a tenant and continued to keep a eye on the neighborhood. She would periodically provide me with updates on the status of the flood insurance legislation, local news, and housing sales. I was finally able to put my house back on the market this year and again received an offer within a few weeks of listing the property. Fortunately, this time we had n"

  -Sharmila Mahendra, Bloomfield, Client

"Tamima is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She was recommended by another friend who had bought her condo with Tamima years ago. As soon as I contacted Tamima back in 2012, she was on board and enthusiastic to help me purchase an investment property. When it came time to sell this year, Tamima was right there with us. She helped when we had issues with the closing process, liaised with the attorneys and other realtors and attended the closing on my behalf. I can't recommend her enough and hope we remain in touch because she is a wonderful, friendly woman too! Great combination for a realtor! "

  -Kim Siemensma, West Orange , Client

"She was excellent in every way, even to the point of helping me to avoid serious underpricing of sale when my scared and risk averse instincts led me in that direction. Personable, she puts out effort twice and beyond--including helpfulness in areas only peripherally related to sale. I have never had business relations with someone whose excellence exceeded stars. Lend me the sixth star, please! "

  -David Rosen, Montclair , Client

"What can I say? We found Katherine by dumb luck but she has the knowledge, personality and connections to make the home-buying process as smooth as it can be. She is really that great. We would recommend her to anyone considering moving to the Glen Ridge/Montclair/Bloomfield area (which I also recommend). Without her I am not sure we would have succeeded in getting this house! Thanks Katherine!"

  -Christopher Girr, Client

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Tamima to buy our first home. We met with a few other realtors prior to seeking out Tamima at the recommendation of a co-worker. We could not have been more happy. Tamima is a master at what she does. From our first conversation to our final closing, Tamima made us feel like we had support every step of the way. She is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and dedicated. When some complications emerged during our closing, Tamima was willing to continually go above and beyond to help us navigate the situation. She is absolutely the right person to call if you are looking to buy or sell a house."

  -Emilie & Felipe Buenano, West Orange, Client

"Tamima listed and sold our home in one weekend for substantially over the list price! Tamima and her team carefully guided us through the selling process, providing invaluable expertise and insight into the market, resulting in us getting top dollar for our home. We highly recommend Tamima and her team to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Choose Tamima! You’ll be happy you did! "

  -—Catarina & Abilio Santos, Cedar Grove, Client

"Tamima as she is very knowledgable about the Montclair real estate market (she does her research), and is a skillful marketer and negotiator. She is responsive and accessible, and a resourceful problem solver. I highly recommend her."

  -Fran McGinley, Montclair , Client

"Ms. Friedman was able to listen to my concerns about all of the details of the sale, and was able to offer timely and wise advice. She tactfully helped me make changes in my home in order to stage it properly for sale. Ms. Friedman was also generous and kind and compassionate. I trusted her implicitly and already have recommended her to people who need a realtor. I couldn't have been more pleased."

  -Miriam Jacobs, Montclair , Client

"Katherine is highly knowledgeable and a great resource when purchasing a home. As new home buyers, she provided us with great direction and followed up on any concern we had going thru the attorney review process until the day of closing and beyond. Katherine helped us get everything we wanted in a home without any added pressure. "

  -M Blender, Glen Ridge, Client

"Tamima was a shining star in the whole process of selling our house. She is knowledgeable, understanding, organized and very thorough in her job. From our previous experience, we were very skeptical of being able to sell the house. But Tamima gave us good advice on having the house ready for potential buyers. She was patient, helpful and maintained great communication throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond her responsibilities. She is a winner!!! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Tamima. She is the best in this business!!!"

  -Chandra Sultan, West Orange, Client

"Katherine was responsive and responsible; it was a pleasure to work with her. Calls were returned immediately and she had good relationships with the other members of the group that helped complete the transaction. "

"Tamima and her team are excellent from start to finish. They helped us navigate the stressful process of buying and selling our home and were always available day or night. They treated us like family and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!"

  -Jeffrey Kayzerman, Secaucus, Client

"I simply cannot say enough about Tamima. She has deep and extensive market knowledge, a great personality, and she is honest, operating at the highest level of professionalism and has been a valued advisor to us on all things real estate. When she takes you on as a client you become like a member of her family and she will do what it takes to make the process a smooth one even if it means delivering unwanted news. She helped us buy and sell our home and worked tirelessly to help us tie up all loose ends. She even mailed our cable boxes back to Verizon and cleaned out our fridge well after we had relocated. Seriously, who does that? Tamima does! She met with vendors after we left Montclair and was an integral part of our lives at that point because packing up and clearing out 5200 sq ft house isn't easy! She really went to bat for us and when it came time for us to sell she was tireless. She is by far the very best REALTOR in Montclair. I'd give her ten stars if I could."

  -Tamara Verrett, Montclair , Client

"Katherine is highly knowledgeable and a great resource when purchasing a home. As new home buyers, she provided us with great direction and followed up on any concern we had going thru the attorney review process until the day of closing and beyond.

"We had a great experience with Katherine as our realtor. She was very responsive during the process, responding quickly to the many questions we had. We would definitely recommend her! "

  -Derek & Haley Melander, Verona, Client

"I first met Tamima over the web when she answered my house hunting questions on homes in Montclair. Her answers were always full of meaningful information and an obvious, deep knowledge of her community. Long story short, I now consider Tamima a dear friend and trusted advisor. She was instrumental in helping us find and purchase our dream home on a dream block.... She is awesome!"
