Testimonials
"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
"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
"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 is knowledgeable and experienced. She took the time to get to know us - to get a sense of what my husband and I were looking for in a home (not an easy task, given that we often have different preferences and priorities!). She showed us a spectrum of homes, all of which met our baseline criteria, and she never pressured us into making a decision. Tamima was accessible - she worked around our work/life schedule and made herself available on late evenings and early mornings. She is particularly knowledgeable about the Montclair housing market — not just home prices but also pros and cons to particular neighborhoods, public amenities, etc; she raised her family in Montclair and was helpful in connecting us to school info, kids activities, etc. We enjoyed working with her and enthusiastically recommend her to others!"
-Gita Rao & Nishant Bakaya, 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
"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
"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
"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
"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 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
"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 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
"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
"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 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. "
-Glenn Wylie, 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"

"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
"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
"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 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
"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 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
"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 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
"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!"
-Ann Heron, Montclair , Client
"Tamima is fantastic. We had gone through a half dozen realtors before we met Tamima. By then, I was convinced that we would never use a realtor and that none of them would ever understand us. To our delight, Tamima did. Most realtors we had met couldn't help but give us a hard sell (buy now!) or gave up on us since we wanted to be strategic in our home purchase, we were first time home buyers and I am a designer, having taught in architecture schools for over 20 years, so we were in some ways very atypical and difficult clients. Tamima worked with us through four bidding wars for three houses, respecting our limits and telling us the blunt truth when it needed to be told. The result is that we live in a fabulous house that we got at a good price. Since then, we have remained good friends with Tamima and have recently begun a long term project to identify a rental property in town that meets our needs. Again, Tamima is great, use her without hesitation."
-Kazys Varnelis, 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
"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. "
-Kathleen Kelly, West 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
"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
"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 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 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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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 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
"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
"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 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
"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
"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. "
-Melanie & Josh Blender, Glen Ridge, Client
"Tamima is a knowledgable real estate agent. She is honest and trustworthy, and an expert in Essex County, NJ as well as what is happening around the country. Tamima is dedicated to her clients and makes you feel as if you are her only one. She pays great attention to detail and will do everything in her power to ensure you are happy with your real estate experience."
-Kenitra Burton, sold Bloomfield, bought Montclair , Client
"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
"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
"We've used a great many realtors over the years. None compares with Tamima Friedman. From my experience, the profession seems to attract (or breed) a certain kind of person which I have little patience for. But from the first time we met her, I could see that Tamima was different--there's an authenticity about her, a real genuineness, which inspired a trust and confidence in us that I've never experienced with any other realtor. As my five-star review indicates, her professional skills, knowledge, and expertise are all outstanding--and I would expect nothing less from someone in whom I'm entrusting, in some sense, the big decision of buying a home. But it's Tamima's personal character which made the difference for me. She was extraordinarily patient with us in our more than two-year on-again, off-again search for a house. Thanks in large part to Tamima's patience, persistence, care, and knowledge, we finally have a quite beautiful home. And she was with us every step of the way."
- Jeff Shalan, Montclair, 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
