"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

"You will never find a more dedicated, patient, honest & professional realtor like Tamima Friedman. Tamima was referred to me by one of my closest friends, she recently bought a home in West Orange & Tamima was her realtor. I had already gone through several realtors trying to find "a right fit" & Tamima was just who I needed. She listened to me in regards to what I wanted & never swayed me out of my price limit. When it came to closing she worked to the 11th hour making sure everything went smoothly. I can honestly say that Tamima is not only my realtor she is a life long friend."

  -Debbie Moulton, Maplewood, 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

"Thank you, Tamima for your miraculous work. You set a timetable that seemed impossible at the outset, but necessary to beat the upcoming holiday. Then you brought in folks who were both highly skilled and creative to get the house in top shape. They were diligent and persistent and got the job done right and on time. You and the whole supporting crew were able to transform my house into a cross between House Beautiful and Architectural Digest. Then everything fell into place with the two offers. It all happened just like you said it would. We had a contract above asking price within two weeks of listing. You somehow managed to both over promise AND over deliver. I am recommending you to all my friends in Montclair."

  - David Ogden, Montclair , 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

"It was such a pleasure working with Katherine Hinchliffe. Her knowledge of an area we weren't familiar with was a huge plus besides being a very lovely person and so easy to deal with. We would definitely recommend her to family and friends interested in buying or renting a home. "

  -Joanne & Bernard Kennedy, Montclair , 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 represented us in a truly nightmarish, can't-make-this-up transaction during the sale of our home, with an extremely difficult buyer who made an ultimatum demand with less than 24 hrs left before closing. Throughout the entire ordeal, Tamima was accessible, knowledgeable, and backed by a team that provided incredible support. By this time we had already relocated across the country so Tamima and her team served as our advocates and champions throughout the process. During the entire experience my husband and I kept thanking our lucky stars that we had chosen Tamima to be our agent. She knows the area well and will represent your best interests. Finding both an experienced and trustworthy realtor can be a difficult process and I wholeheartedly recommend Tamima to anyone who is trying to find someone to represent them in their house shopping in the Montclair-Bloomfield area. Thank you Tamima!"

  -Grace Yan & Eric Jen, Montclair, Client

"Tamima and her team understood our needs and made referrals that met our requests. Negotiations were handled professionally and with utmost efficiency."

  -Rosa Soy, Caldwell , 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

"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

"Tamima Friedman is a great realtor, whom we have recommended to most of our friends & colleagues. She has been wonderful helping us look for our first home. She's on time, flexible to fit your schedule and available to answer all questions. Buying your first home can be overwhelming, but Tamima takes care of that and commits to helping her clients. It is not easy to find someone that cares and will be honest like Tamima."

  -Meryem Ozkus, Cedar Grove, Client

"We worked with Tamima when we purchased our condo and when we sold it; she is knowledgeable pleasant and truly seems interested in making things work well for us as her clients."

  -Kimberly Cecchini, Montclair , Client

"Thanks to Tamima, we bought our first home this past Fall! Tamima is incredibly knowledgeable about Montclair and the real estate market in general. It's clear that she loves her job and is truly passionate about real estate. As first time home buyers, she was so patient and flexible with us while we were house hunting with two small children. She gave us all of the details and information we needed and understood that as first time home buyers we didn't always know what to ask. We really enjoyed working with her and still keep in touch with her!"

  -Rachel Luchini, Montclair , Client

"Tamima and Daniel were great to work with. We gave them a very difficult assignment and they stuck with it until they found the perfect property for us. Would highly recommend them."

  -Mark Kramer, Denville, Client

"Katherine was truly wonderful to work with. This was our first experience with buying a house, and she made it as stress-free as possible, even given the competitive market we are currently in. She was knowledgeable and very responsive, and guided us through the process every step of the way. She was always calm, patient, and available to answer all of our questions. I would strongly recommend her. "

  -Yevgenia Shekhtman, Westfield , 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

"She was very attentive to my list of needs and wants for my first home . She was eager and available to answer any questions and concerns throughout the whole process. I'm very grateful for her service and would recommend her to anyone looking in NJ. "

  -Nellis Marino, South Orange, Client

"Katherine is the foremost real estate professional in Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, Montclair, and beyond. Her profound knowledge of Glen Ridge's history and the unique qualities of its homes is unmatched. Most importantly, Katherine is deeply passionate about the borough's historical and cultural richness. This passion empowers her to strategically connect buyers with homes that exceed their expectations. Selling our home in Glen Ridge was an emotional journey, given our nearly three decades of residency. Katherine understands the emotional attachment longtime homeowners have to their homes, and she takes special care to find the perfect buyer. She brought us a buyer who would love our home as much as we do, understanding perfectly what we needed. Thanks to Katherine's diligent work, we were able to move on to our next chapter with the peace of mind that our beloved home would be enjoyed by a new family. Her superpower is understanding what sellers and buyers need to transition smoothly."

  -Trica Jean-Baptiste, 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

"Tamima guided us through a new home purchase in 2012. She was so extremely helpful and diligent that when it came time for us to move on from that home in 2018, we only wanted to work with her again. She and her team went well above and beyond even our expectations. The process was complicated by the fact that we had moved abroad by the time the house went on the market. Tamima and her professional team handled everything to the last detail and made the process go very smoothly. She has a solid network of contractors and designers that prepped the house for sale. She also connected us with an attorney. Overall we are super pleased with Tamima and her team, and if we move back to the NJ area we will certainly go right to Tamima again!"

  -Christina Martens & Stan Hopkins, S. Orange, Client

"My husband and I agree that our experience with Tamima was exceptional. She was not a referral. I found her name online and noticed she listed and sold many houses in my town. Now I can see why. She was so knowledgeable about the real estate market. She was pleasant, a great listener and attentive to all our needs right from the beginning. She spent a great deal of time with us explaining the whole process of listing our home. She went over and beyond to help us with staging our house for listing and gave us such good advice when she could see we were becoming anxious. She responded timely to all of our phone calls. Selling our house was very emotional for us. Tamima helped make the experience a pleasant one and go as smoothly as possible. We are so thankful that we found her and would highly recommend her to others."

  -Larry & Carol Kraft, 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

"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

"We are very pleased with the way Tamima handled the sale of our house. The process was explained clearly and the service was professional, as were the pictures taken of the property. Very immaculate....Thanks to Tamima"

  -Ashok Sultan, West Orange , Client

"Tamima Friedman was instrumental in helping us find our dream home in the perfect town. As first time homebuyers relocating from NYC, we started working with Tamima with very little knowledge of the real estate market, of the commuter towns of NJ, and of the home buying process in general. Over the course of our house hunt, which spanned a leisurely 2+ years, Tamima carefully navigated us through many different types of homes and in various conditions - from stately Victorians in need of a complete reno to move-in ready contemporaries. She respected our requirements and our budget, and often educated us in a gentle way, helping us reach certain conclusions on our own, rather than pushing her own agenda on us. She always took the time to answer our questions with careful consideration - I have many long emails from Tamima, sharing stories and anecdotes from her past experiences, as well as solid, objective information to guide our decision making."

  -Anne Lac, Montclair, Client

"As both a buyer and eventually a seller of a good sized 5 bedroom home in Northern NJ, I had an exceptional experience with Tamima. When I became interested in selling recently, I remembered how professional and thorough Tamima had been in helping me find a great place to live, and I hoped she was still available. To my delight, I found she still was and called her with no hesitation. She listened attentively to my thoughts on when to sell and what some of my considerations were. I would HIGHLY recommend Tamima Friedman as your realtor, whether buying, or selling a home. She is a consummate professional, knowledgeable, personable, detail oriented, tenacious, down to earth and has a great team soup to nuts. I’m so happy with my experience hiring her for my house sale, and if you decide to go with Tamima, I truly think you will be too!"

  -Raymond Savoie, Bloomfield , 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

"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

"My husband and I had a slew of inefficient, uninterested and just plain bad estate agents prior to fate leading us to Tamima Friedman. Tamima was the only real estate agent who took the time to sit us down over coffee and ask us what we wanted in a home. Being first time buyers, we weren’t always sure what to expect as the process unfurled, but we could clearly see that Tamima was invested in us as she guided us through the process with care and respect. We appreciated her honesty and suggestions. Every home she presented was along our specifications and not a case of "let's see what sticks" which seemed to be the approach from some of the other agents. We never felt rushed or under pressure to make decisions and felt confident that Tamima wouldn't rest until she found us what we were looking for. Even though Tamima represented both parties in the closing of our property we felt fairly treated and all closing issues were dealt with in a timely fashion. "

  -Nansi Davies, Bloomfield, 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 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

"Katherine was amazing to work with. We were first time home buyers and Katherine helped walk us through every step. She was incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. Not only does she come with years of experience, but she also makes the process fun. All of her recommendations from both the inspector and attorney exceeded expectations. Katherine made the home buying process easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her as a realtor. "

  -Gian & Jessica, Bloomfield, 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 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

"From the beginning of my search till the closing date, Tamima Friedman made me feel like I was her only client. Her attention to detail and her pro-active searching of properties helped me to find my new home in a very short period of time! If I ever need to move again, Ms. Friedman would be my first call."

  -Roger Stubblefield, Glen Ridge, Client

"My experience with Tamima Friedman was the Best and Most Professional experience that I have ever had with a Realtor. Tamima brings a wealth of experience, understanding and respect for her clients. She always returns any form of contact: text, email or phone. Tamima knows what Buyers are looking for and everything she suggested I agreed with and the results were above my expectations! Every step of the process had well delineated objectives, including scheduling with the First-Rate Painters, the Innovative Stagers, the Outstanding Photographer, and her Stellar Support Staff!!! I Highly Recommend Sellers to LIST with Tamima Friedman."

  - Stephanie Rahner, Woodland Park, Client

"If you want a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and personally relatable, then you want Tamima! As first-time home buyers, Tamima gave us the support, advice, and information we needed to make the right decision for our family. At every point in the process, she went above and beyond to make our experience as easy and stress-free as possible -- from late-night emails to expert recommendations on electricians and locksmiths -- and we will always be grateful for her efforts. We always felt we were in the best hands possible, and now that we have settled into our house, we know that we were right!"

  -Jason & Elissa Hyne, Ridgewood , 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

"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

"Beyond her dedication to family and community, Tamima is committed to the clients she serves. Frankly clients isn't the right term as a client of Tamima's becomes part of her larger family. In terms of her Real Estate accumen, she is with you from the beginning. She answers every question about the buying and selling process. Tamima knows the communities, the trends and market conditions and she has what it takes to ensure you secure the best deal for you. She helped us buy our house and she was the first and only person we called six years later when it was time to sell."

  -Dawn Williams & CJ Couch, South Orange , Client

"Tamima was great! This was our first home buying experience and Tamima did a great job in guiding us along the process. We are not originally from the NJ area so her expertise across the various neighborhoods was very helpful in our search. She also had patience with us given that I asked a lot of questions along the way and we also had to bring our 1yr old to most showings. In the end we found a wonderful house and feel that we paid a fair amount for it. Would certainly use Tamima’s services again."

  -Kevin Savitskie, South Orange, Client

"Tamima was incredibly responsive and helped us to find a home in a short time period when relocating to NJ from across the country. She was respectful of our preferences and knowledgable of the local market. With her help, we found, bid and closed on a house in less than 2 months."

  -Jocelyn Gottlieb, Glen Ridge, Client

"Tamima went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor going into the process of selling our house. Her advice was spot on, from our initial discussions about pricing, best dates to show the house and presentation to negotiations with our buyers. She left no stone unturned when it came to marketing and getting our house seen by as many people as possible. When she asked for feedback about what she could have done better, I couldn’t come up with a single thing. I have no hesitation in recommending her. "

  -Mari Griffin, Upper Montclair , 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

"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’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

"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

"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."
