Katherine made the home buying process easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her as a realtor. "

  -Gian & Jessica, Bloomfield, 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.

Other members of our family have also used her as their realtor and were equally pleased!"

  -Julia Ruskin, 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!!!"

"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 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

"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

"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 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

"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 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

"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

"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 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 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

"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

  -Fran McGinley, Montclair , 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

"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 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 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

"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 made the home-buying process a joy. The very first time I spoke to her on the phone, I was impressed with her local knowledge and love for the area. And I could tell she was passionate about finding the perfect house for families. Tamima's strategic advice on submitting a competitive bid, we were the top bidder on our dream home. She's the best of the best."

  -Carla Karp, Montclair , 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

"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 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 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

"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 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

"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

"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 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 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

"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

"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 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’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 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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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 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 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."
