    Every time I see your mailings I smile just thinking of you.  I have to say, Rebecca and I could definitely be your advertising team! We are so happy in our home, and I am so happy that you were OUR realtor! I always hear people complaining about house-hunting, how arduous and awful... I never thought that we would be able to own a house, and I was very scared of the process of buying one... the mortgage, lawyers, negotiating, etc... You were really knowledgeable and so KIND to us.

    If we did not say thank you enough at the time, we would really like to take the opportunity to thank you again now!!  We are so in-love with our home. We are so grateful to you!

    Additionally, we are so pleased with all of the other professionals that you recommended to us during our process.

Testimonial

We employed Jackie to buy our current house and sell our condo. We were so glad we found Jackie as she was a tremendous help in both finding a house for us as well as selling our old place. What most impressed us about Jackie was that she was so patient throughout the whole buying process.  She is very knowledgeable about the North Edison area and was patient in showing us house after house, giving us advice on what to look for and what to avoid.  Jackie never pressured us into buying a house and eventually she helped find the perfect house for us.  What was helpful was that she was always available by phone or email if we ever had a question. She really does go the extra mile as we've experienced first hand. Before closing, we found that a gas leak hadn't been fixed, so she waited with us in the house with no heat for almost 7 hours until the gas company came and fixed the leak.
We were also impressed with her marketing plan for selling our condo. She is very tech savvy, which is important in this day and age, as more and more buyers use the internet to help them buy a house. Our brochures and website came out beautifully. Everyone who saw it was impressed. Most importantly, we were able to get under contract in less than a month in a tough market.
After the long house buying and selling process, it was sad to say goodbye to Jackie, who had became a part of our lives. Our kids still remember and talk fondly about Ms. Jackie to this day.

In Memory of Steve Jobs

I use only Mac computers so the passing of Steve Jobs feels just a little personal to me – and I guess the rest of the world!

A friend of mine just posted the following, it’s not new, but it seems to strike the right note:

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things
differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for
the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify and vilify them. About
the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things.
They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as crazy, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the
world, are the ones who do.”

Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs – and thanks.

In Memory

September 11th a date that New York, the Tri-State area, the United States and the World will never forget.

 

Last night, I attended a very special concert delivered by one of Westfield’s jewels.  The Westfield Symphony Orchestra gave a concert called “America the Brave.”    The program was so beautiful:

 

AMERICA THE BRAVE Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11 Dvorak New World Symphony No. 9 in E Minor Copland Fanfare for the Common Man Barber Adagio for Strings Join us for a musical salute to our nation and its heroes through masterworks inspired by sacrifice, remembrance, honor and the promise of our future. New Jersey’s premier cultural tribute and gesture of solidarity celebrating all that is brave and good in our uniquely American life. This accompanied by poems and l when the Westfield Schools Choir and the orchestra led us in a rousing rendition of America the Beautiful.

It was a very special evening.  Many Westfield families lost loved ones and this was a beautiful remembrance.

What Jackie’s Clients Say

    Testimonial

    It's said that selling a house ranks near the top of the list of life's most stressful experiences. That's true, but a knowledgeable and capable realtor can make all the difference between smooth sailing and disaster.

    Jackie Safran is that Realtor.

    It was Jackie's savvy and experience that guided us successfully through the process. Her advice was right-on - every time. She knew how to price the house to get people interested in looking at it. In a tough market for sellers, we had lots of showings and multiple offers, while other houses in our area just sat without any activity. We even got more for our house than we asked for! We hear horror stories from our new neighbors in the active-adult community we moved to and think to ourselves, "Jackie warned us about that. Jackie didn't let that happen to us." We can't say enough good things about Jackie. She knows her business, she works tirelessly on her clients' behalf and is always there to offer reassurance and advice. I can't imagine selling (or buying) a house without the assistance of a realtor, and I can't imagine that realtor being anyone other than Jackie Safran.
