Testimonials

 "My son who had just graduated college needed to find an apartment in New Jersey (Montclair area) as his new job was in Fairfield NJ.  Given that we do not know New Jersey, I looked for a real estate agent online.  I called Coldwell Banker in the area and Jean-Marie answered the phone.  I explained what we were looking for and she set up apartment visits the next weekend.  She showed us a number of apartments within a week and my son signed a lease within 2 weeks.  Jean-Marie provided guidance to the area, which towns would be better for my son and most of the apartments she showed us were exactly what we were looking for.  She handled the lease and my son is very happy in his new apartment thanks to Jean-Marie.  We were very lucky that Jean-Marie answered the phone when I called.  She knows the area and she did not waste our time showing us apartments that were not in the price range that my son can afford."

" As my husband and I began the home buying process for the first time, we could not have been more pleased to have found Jean-Marie. We spent a very long time looking for just the right house, and Jean-Marie never wavered in her care and efforts in helping us to find the perfect place to call home. She got to know us and our style and needs very well so that she could assist us on a more personalized level. She also provided honest and genuine feedback when we asked the millions of questions first time home buyers ask, and she walked us through each and every step of the process making us feel comfortable in each and every one of our decisions. Jean-Marie is an amazing agent, and she is an even better person! I would recommend her to anyone I know who is in the market for a new home."

"Working with Jean-Marie was an absolute pleasure.  She consistently went out of her way to provide sincere, honest, and caring service throughout the whole home buying process. I couldn't ask for a better person to guide me through my first home buying experience! She is competent and genuine...an exceptional realtor and person! I will recommend her to anyone and everyone I know."

"Jean-Marie's extensive knowledge and experience in the local market gave us the confidence we needed during every step of selling our house in Caldwell. She knew exactly how to price and create a description of our listing to gain the most interest. Her advice on everything from staging to negotiating was perfect and led to a quick and stress free transaction. Her connections made it so much easier to get quick access to estimates, repair providers, and lawyers. She even went to town hall to investigate and provide missing documents on our behalf, before we even thought of it! She went above and beyond in so many ways."

-Joyce H.

"From our first conversation with Jean-Marie to being handed keys to our new home, the experience was both familiar and professional. Jean-Marie was knowledgeable about the home and the area and thorough in our walk-through of the house. She was quick to respond by any means of communication and provided answers to questions and timely updates through the whole process. I wouldn't hesitate recommend her as a realtor and look forward to working with her again in the future."
