Testimonial
When my partner and I first met with Jackie because we were planning to move from New Hope, Pa to the Metuchen area, we had not even sold our house at that point. Little did we know that it would take about 9 more months to sell in Pa so that we could seriously look in NJ.Throughout that entire time, Jackie worked patiently and professionally with us, providing counseling and occasionally some much needed comic relief when we thought we would never be able to move on with our lives.
Everything worked out very well for us and we are now happily living in a great house in Metuchen, NJ. Jackie's guidance through the process was outstanding at all times, she made us feel like we were her only clients (even though we knew full well that we were not!). She gave us very personalized attention and carefully advised us when she felt we were headed towards a bad decision. I have and will continue to recommend Jackie whenever I can and even though I hope never to move again would unquestionably use her professional services again.Carol Pepe

Going Green
Thursday, March 25th, 2010
While the wearing of the green is associated with the middle of March, going green should be on the thoughts of homeowners towards the end of the month, whether actively looking or not to sell their home in 2010, as spring officially arrives across the country.
Never Underestimate Your Buying Audience
When it comes to selling a home, you have to understand what buyers are looking for – what is important to them in terms of how they are choosing to live their lives, as well as where they are choosing to live. The trend towards ‘going green’ and environmental friendliness and compatibility is no passing fancy. The world and the buying public are smarter regarding green awareness, and thus, anything you can do, to make your home trend towards this path will benefit you twofold.

New Construction vs Old Construction

Metuchen, Edison, Scotch Plains and Westfield and the surrounding areas, all have their fair share of older homes and brand new construction. One of the biggest factor to consider is the price tag that comes along with these homes. However, putting price aside for a moment, let’s look at the advantages to weigh when deciding between old and new…. (more…)
