"Tamima is extremely experienced and provided all of the support we needed during our house hunting and home purchasing processes. She is both professional and personal. She almost instantly felt like a member of our family. She is also dependable, trustworthy and honest, seeming to have her clients best interests above her own. Other members of our family have also used her as their realtor and were equally pleased!"

  -Julia Ruskin, Glen Ridge, 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

"Tamima was always there for you. She returned your calls as quickly as she could...If we asked a question she usually new the answer or she checked ti out & got back to us ASAP. She also would let us know when she was away & told us who to contact in the office...We felt she was extremly well versed on all the lending & Legal Points of Real Estate. When no one showed up from my Lawyers she was calm & handled the closing using all the knowledge I mentioned....she kept us informed what was happening & called us when it was over. We found Tamima soft spoken & very refined as well. She is a Class Act!!!!"

  -Barbara Cirilis, Wayne , 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

"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

"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

""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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"Myself and my wife are first-time home buyers and Tamima Friedman was recommended to us by a friend. Tamima proved to be invaluable in our search for a home as she provided step by step guidance, timely reminders with any paper work and patiently answering any questions that were presented to her. Tamima also connected us with other professionals including a home inspector, underground tank sweep inspector, chimney inspector, sewer inspector and a local real estate attorney who all provided excellent service. Perhaps most importantly, Tamima treated us as family and was fully invested in helping us acquire the perfect house for our family. We are grateful for all of Tamima's help and can wholeheartedly recommend her services as a real estate professional. "

  -Miron Pakman & Tamala Sookdeo, Fanwood, 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’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

"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 is the most wonderful realtor we’ve ever worked with! She is knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about helping people find their dream home! Never did I feel rushed or pressed into making an offer. She always provided her professional opinion in the best interest of her clients. After two years of house hunting, she remained just as honest, patient, and eager to help. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Tamima! We absolutely loved working with her and still remain friends! 5 stars! No better person to help you find your perfect home!"

  -Sophia Mui, 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

"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 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 would highly recommend Tamima to guide you through the stressful and time-consuming process of house selling and buying. Tamima is highly professional, beyond helpful and goes above and beyond to insure the process is as painless as possible. She made herself available to any and all questions, offering support, advice, encouragement and a positive but realistic outlook."

  -Hannah Robinson, Montclair , Client

"Katherine was an absolute joy in helping me find my home. She was patient and informative with all of my questions as a new buys. Always available, and super communicative. Would absolutely use Katherine again, and would refer her in a heartbeat!! "

  -Lauren Pennington, Bloomfield, 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 S., 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

"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

"Tamima has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I found Tamima to be thoughtful and responsive throughout the home buying process. Her knowledge of the market was critical in helping us make an informed decision in our downsizing experience."

  -Cheryl Greene, West Orange, 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

"My husband and I used Tamima to buy our first home. Being a first time home buyer can be daunting and overwhelming but Tamima and her team made the process easy. The first time we met she thoroughly explained the entire home buying process from start to finish and put us both at ease. Afterwards, Tamima was patient and helpful as we looked at home after home. We also appreciated how accommodating Tamima and her team was in scheduling appointments for us quickly and at convenient times. Once we found the house we loved Tamima and her team worked diligently to make our offer and negotiated on our behalf. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend her to all of my friends and family."

  -Cara Landolfi, Clifton, Client

"Tamima is experienced, knowledgeable, patient, hardworking, ethical, honest to a fault, and always puts her clients' interests first. I've worked with her multiple times over the years, and would never consider working with another realtor in the Montclair NJ area."

  -Mike O’Brien, 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

"Our experience with Tamima was really spectacular. We Relocated from Florida, so finding an experienced realtor was crucial. She's an excellent professional and a wonderful person. Tamima was able to understand exactly our needs and kept an excellent attitude and impeccable service at all times. When we had a question or needed some advice, Tamima was ALWAYS available to us and guided us to make the decisions that made us feel most comfortable. She shared her insight, advice, and recommendations (From the contractor to the moving company) that comes from years of working in the business. Working with Tamima was our best decision and we strongly recommend her! "

  -Sar Litman, Upper Montclair, 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

"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

"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 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 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

"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"

  -Jeffrey Kayzerman, Secaucus, 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

"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 Friedman receives our highest recommendation as a realtor. From the moment she stepped in our home to meet us, we recognized her passion and expertise. She supported our family every step of the way as we prepared to sell our beautiful home. Her assistance was invaluable, providing us with a detailed schedule to follow as we prepared for our move, visiting our house frequently to check our progress and excellent recommendations for skilled workers which included a wonderful carpenter, electrician and landscaper. Tamima goes above and beyond her call of duty and her work ethic was second to none. She is an amazing communicator and has such a big heart-we will always be grateful for her constant encouragement and support. Choosing Tamima Friedman as your realtor will guarantee that the sale of your house will be a success!"

  -Joe Kinloch Hernandez-Kinloch, 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

"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 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

"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 was awesome. Every time we needed advice, she was right there, and her advice always turned out to be exactly right. Buying in NJ is unlike buying anywhere else, and she walked us through the process carefully and easily. I'm so glad we had her on our side! She's a top-notch agent: she's friendly, personable, attentive, and down-to-earth. I recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation. "
