Real Estate is my passion ! Buying or Selling a home can be one of the most stressful things anyone will do -- I love turning it into an adventure...a very satisfying adventure ! By having the right knowledge my clients feel empowered and get to enjoy the ride. Of course, there will always be some challenges -- Is it a Buyers market ? A Sellers market ? How do we negotiate the best price ? Oh NO the dreaded home inspection issues. I am there every step of the way to make sense of it all.
I have been loving Real Estate as long as I can remember...and got my license 10 years ago. So, I've been through the changes in the market from Buyers Market to Sellers Market and now back to Buyers Market. I have been with Abbott & Caserta Realtors since day one. I think it is such a terrific company with a wide range of programs to benefit buyers and sellers. We have all the great stuff a big company can offer--yet we take every transaction personally and really have a "homey" feel about us. Our management is hands on and very involved so we don't have to wait for some big corporation to make a decision. Abbott & Caserta is very agent orientated...gives agents the tools to succeed....doesn't take any franchise fees out of agents commissions, etc. It's a great place for good agents to work !
As well as being an agent, I am the manager of our newest Englewood Cliffs Office. Bob Abbott is very involved in this office also...but I am available to help other agents in this office succeed. And, again coming from an agents perspective, I'm there to give input to management about what our clients and agents need. We are alwasy adapting to the market.
Over the last 11 years I've experienced just about every aspect of Real Estate. My business has been about even between represnting buyers and being a listing agent representing sellers. I have sold mostly one family residential homes, but have also done some multi-family and condo's. One particular challenge for me was selling a 7 family in Maywood. I got it done ! I'll blog about it someday soon...my clients were thrilled with the outcome--but as I said there were some real showing, tenant, and inspection issues.
First time home buyers are definitely my favorite ! When you see them light up when they find their first home--there are hardly any words to describe it. I get as excited as they do. Then when they call me 5 or 6 years later that they are ready to "trade up" and realize what a great investment they've made I get to see that excitement all over again. And, of course, the buying of a new larger home--while attempting to sell their home is a tight-walk that's challenging. The adrenaline is high for all involved and I take it very seriously. I don't let my stress level show because it's my job to make the process work smoothly....My clients often comment on how I make things work so effortlessly--If they only knew how I bite my nails when they're not looking..haha.
