Mary Weichert, Realtor

I am an award-winning real estate broker and top-producing real estate concierge in northern New Jersey. Instead, I am the sole realtor for each transaction.

I joined the Weichert Realtors Original Chatham Office in 2000, after my youngest child went to kindergarten. Each year since 2004, I have earned the Weichert Realtors Top Chatham Office Producer Award. My goal is to provide personalized real estate services that address each of my clients unique needs and desires. A lifelong Chatham resident, I have in-depth experience with the outstanding school

s, fine homes, beautiful neighborhoods, town assets, and excellent commuting options for Chatham, Summit, Madison, Morristown, and the surrounding towns / areas. If you have questions about a community, I will answer them! I strongly believe in a focused, personalized approach to working with each of my clients.

Afterward, I continue supporting you with answers to your questions about the area and guidance about real estate, including market trends and property values, recommendations for home repairs, and area events.

Are we really ready to admit that summer is over?

Every time I say summer is ending, someone reminds me there are still three weeks left. But I don’t buy it. When it’s dark by 8:30, you’re looking at your blue jeans more than your bathing suit, and you’ve started checking the football schedule, those seem like pretty sure signs that summer is over and fall is kicking in.

But before I fully acquiesce to fall, I want to reminisce about the good memories this summer had in store.

The birth of sweet baby Paige, Emily and Brad’s second. When I asked Emily where the name came from, she said, “I’ve never met a Paige I didn’t like. They always have that light about them.” And I thought, well, that works for me. 💕 She really is a light.

The week of July 4th, when I rent the biggest house I can find and fill it with all of the people I love. Eight bedrooms, and somehow we still needed more space. I can’t help but love that.

Two weeks in the North Fork of Long Island. We swam in the Sound, picked berries, ate from local vegetable stands, held family camp every morning with four or six kids under four, rode our bikes to Mass, and ended every night playing cards as a family. 💕

Time in NYC with people I love. Seeing & Juliet on Broadway, walking through Central Park and the Village, and ending the summer with a weekend in Key West with my best friends.

I have a stressful job that takes up a lot of my life and sometimes my light, too. But I’m incredibly fortunate to have both: time with my family and the people I love, and work that allows me to help people make some of the biggest decisions of their lives about where they are going to lay their heads at night.

So yes, I’m looking forward to a new season and a new chapter. And it feels like the perfect time to turn 59, grab a Taylor ham, egg and cheese from Pascarella’s, celebrate Emily’s birthday with some apple picking, and end the season at the Fryeburg Fair in Maine.

Maybe summer is ending. But I have a feeling the best parts of this next season are just getting started. 🍂

Looking for a great way to support an incredible cause right here in Chatham?

We are always so honored when the B+ Foundation asks us to help sponsor their annual basketball event. John and I are thrilled to be part of it again this year!

Thousands of dollars are raised to support families of children fighting cancer, and it’s truly inspiring to see our community come together for such an important cause.

The Chatham Be Positive (B+) Club is a student-run organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness to support families of children battling cancer. These students are doing something incredible, and they deserve all of our support!

If you’ve never been, there’s still time to stop by the beautifully renovated Garden Park in Chatham and cheer them on!

And if you’d like to make a donation, DM me and I’ll send you the link.

These kids are doing the heavy lifting. Let’s show them just how much our community is behind them. 🏀💙

I sat in St. Vincent early Tuesday morning, as I often do, listening to Father Owen’s homily. He shared something that stayed with me. When he celebrates a funeral, family members often come up afterward and thank him for the beautiful things he said about their loved one.

His response? “I didn’t write the book. I’m only telling their story.”

That stopped me.

Because the truth is, every single day, we are writing our own story. And someday, someone will tell it.

What will your book say?

Father Owen encouraged us to live with intention. To be charitable. To help the next person in line. And above all else, to be kind.

And as I thought about his words, I couldn’t help but think of Dolly Parton. She was someone who truly wrote her own story. And what a story she wrote.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Dollywood with dear friends last year, and we were struck by just how much Dolly has done to make the world a better place. Her generosity, her kindness, her commitment to helping others, and the opportunities she has created for people are woven into everything she has built. She didn’t just talk about kindness.

She lived it.

She helped the next person in line. She gave generously. She opened doors. She used her success to lift other people up.

And maybe that is why the loss of women like Dolly feels so profound. They remind us that a life can be so much more than what we accomplish for ourselves. It can be measured by the people we helped, the lives we touched, and the goodness we left behind.

Kindness and generosity are not the loudest values in the world right now. But they are the ones we need most.

At the end of the day, we are all writing the book. Let’s make it a good one. ❤️

🎶 Winter, spring, summer or fall... when the timing is right, just give me a call! 🏡

There’s never a bad time to buy or sell a house.

I’m so grateful to all of my wonderful buyers, sellers, mortgage brokers, attorneys, inspectors, and fellow Realtors who teamed up with me to make these four transactions happen since July 4th. Real estate is truly a team effort, and I’m thankful every day for the amazing people I get to work alongside.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I often say that certain times of the year can be more advantageous for sellers, while other times can create great opportunities for buyers. In fact, two of my own children purchased their homes in August 💕, so that probably gives you a little insight into what I mean.

That said, I will always stand by one simple belief: there is no right or wrong time to buy a home. The best time is when it makes sense for you and your family. Finding the right fit is always more important than trying to perfectly time the market.

A special thank you to Zander Oldendorp for bringing 26 Longwood in Madison to market and being such a great partner throughout the process. Thank you to Leslie Williams for bringing a wonderful buyer to Duchamp, and to my brother John and Leona Daniels for bringing a fantastic buyer to Tallmadge. A heartfelt thank you Kathleen Mulvaney for bringing 64 Washington Avenue in Morristown on the market and working hand in hand navigating the process. This is a gem of a location in the Washington Headquarters district, one of my favorite areas. I truly appreciate the trust, teamwork, and professionalism that made these transactions so successful.

Congratulations to all of my buyers and sellers as you begin your next chapter! It is always an honor to be part of such an important milestone in your lives.

Whether you’re thinking about making a move this month, next season, or sometime down the road, I’m always happy to answer your questions and help you put a plan together. Remember... we only go around the sun once, so don’t put your dreams on hold. Here’s to new beginnings, happy homes, and making the most of every season! 💛🏡

Have you ever stopped to think about how much joy one community can create when we all come together? 🎄

It’s that time of year again to give thanks for all of the generous donations given by residents in and around Chatham and Madison for my annual Christmas in July appeal.

I will always tell people and my family that we only go around the sun once, and it’s so important that we all give back where we can. And I thank each and every one of you for your generous donations. ❤️

A special shout-out to my superstar friend and fellow Weichert agent Leslie Williams for asking Weichert Realtors and myself to be a part of the Chatham Farmers Market, thank you to Jeff Davis for bringing in Santa Claus, the Madison Y for being a huge part of our efforts, and my own Chatham Flagship office for encouraging and accepting donations.

This year, we will spread the joy to Eva’s Kitchen in Paterson, JWBD, the Goryeb Children’s Center in Morristown, and Bancroft facilities in Mount Laurel.

A special thank you to my daughter Emily, who Venmo’d me money when she wasn’t available to purchase gifts, the McNany Foundation, who shows up faithfully year after year, the Switek family, who does the same, and to the other countless men, women, agents, and families who show up year after year to ensure that sick and underprivileged youth have a wonderful Christmas in July. 🎄🎄

Sending hugs 🫶🫶 and a heart full of thank you. ❤️

We only go around the sun once, and because of all of you, this year’s journey was filled with kindness, generosity, and love. Thank you for showing up, giving back, and proving once again that our community is truly something special. 🎄

Why do I always say real estate is personal? This is exactly why.

There I was, arm in arm with a seller I’ve known for most of my life. Mike’s sister Debbie and I grew up playing sports together. His brother Kenny worked at the local Carvel. We all went to Chatham High and then Rutgers together. And years ago, when we bought our home, Mike called to congratulate me and jokingly reminded me that he thought I was paying too much in taxes. 😉

These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do.

Selling real estate is about so much more than a transaction. It’s about relationships, trust, history, and the responsibility of helping people through some of life’s biggest transitions.

Selling such a unique and historic property with so much meaning in our community came with a lot of emotion and even more responsibility. But when someone trusts you to carry that torch, you show up, work hard, and get it done.

We couldn’t be happier for Mike and Christina, and we're so grateful you trusted us again to represent you. Thank you for allowing us to be part of this special chapter.

A heartfelt thank you to Jane Schelling and Carrie Conte for bringing a wonderful buyer in a multiple-offer situation and helping make the entire process seamless.

At the end of the day...

✨ Relationships matter.
✨ Experience matters.
✨ Who you work with matters.

What’s that old riddle? There are big ships, small ships, but what is the best kind of ship?

If you didn’t know, the answer is friendship.

I thought of this fun little riddle the other day as I was reflecting on how truly blessed I am to have so many wonderful friends in my life.

To me, they are the joy, the laughter, and the silver lining through all of life’s moments.

Last week, I was fortunate enough to be invited by my dear friend Donna to see Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden. Donna was invited through a work-related opportunity with Hampton Water Rose w**e that included two amazing seats, a rooftop food and drink experience, and VIP entrance into the Garden. Pretty incredible, right?

What I didn’t expect was to meet Jesse Bongiovi, Jon Bon Jovi’s son and the creative mind behind the popular Hampton Water Rosé.

Endearing, charming, and positive, Jesse and I talked about something I am always passionate about: putting profit and purpose together. That is what drew me to learning more about Hampton Water’s philosophy of giving back and their commitment to philanthropy.

Through their efforts, they support important causes including Wreaths Across America for veterans ,the Pink Agenda to support breast cancer research, the It Gets Better mission to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ youth around the globe, and the JBJ Soul Kitchen. We briefly talked about how important it is that those who have the ability to give back, do.

Because success is always more meaningful when it creates an impact beyond ourselves.

Fast forward to the concert. We are dancing, singing, and enjoying every minute when who taps us on the shoulder asking if we would like a drink?

None other than Jesse himself.

A Hampton Water for Donna, which was a smart choice, and I sheepishly asked for a Michelob Ultra because that is my drink of choice. He graciously obliged both of us.

Cheers to an unforgettable night, the belief that profit and purpose can and should exist together, and the reminder that some of life’s greatest moments come from the people we share them with.

Because out of all the ships in the world, friendship truly is the very best ship.

Does real estate ever take a day off?

I ran into an old friend this morning while I was putting out Open House signs on a warm July sunny day, when half the people we know are away at the beach. She laughed and yelled over, “There goes Mary doing it again!” 😊

I smiled, laughed back, and said, “Wash, rinse, repeat.”

Whether there are leaves on the trees, snow on the ground, or spring flowers blooming, it’s always the right time to buy or sell in a good market. I’ve always believed you win on the buy. Choose a great neighborhood, a quality school system, and an easy commute, and you’re setting yourself up for success when it’s time to sell.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at 21 Duchamp. A wonderful neighborhood, great schools, and a walkable commute to NJ Transit or the Boxcar bus. It truly checks all the boxes.

It’s a busy weekend ahead with our Christmas in July Toy Drive, celebrating the life of a dear friend, and Open Houses Saturday and Sunday from 1:00–4:00 PM.

If you’re out and about, stop by and say hello. I’d love to see you. After all, it’s just another day of wash, rinse, repeat… and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Have you ever met someone who quietly makes your hometown a better place, one project at a time?

You all know I wear my heart on my sleeve. I always have. I make no secret of how much I love our little town and all of the unique, personal, and special pieces that come together to make Chatham, well... Chatham.

I was genuinely tickled pink and so honored when the library asked me to attend Monday night's Town Council meeting to show my support for their renovation project. Anything library-related? Count me in!

What I didn't expect was to walk into Council Chambers and witness one of my favorite longtime Chathamites receiving a well-deserved Mayor's Commendation.

Congratulations, Jeff Davis! 👏

Jeff's volunteer efforts are nothing short of remarkable. From restoring the town clock, saving the Stanley train, rehabbing the three beloved benches at the old Chatham High (my fellow Eskies know just how much those benches mean 🫶), and rescuing the July 4th firetruck, to now restoring all five Borough Historic Markers, Jeff continues to preserve the history that makes our town so special.

Unable to remove the layers of paint himself, he personally transported all five markers to upstate New York to find a company that could restore them properly. No easy feat, but if anyone could make it happen, it was Jeff.

I grew up just up the street from Jeff, and after more than 58 years in Chatham, I can honestly say I have never known anyone who takes more pride in our little town or works harder to make it an even better place to live.

On behalf of the Mayor, the Council, the Chatham Historical Society, and everyone who loves this community, thank you, Jeff. Your generosity, passion, and tireless volunteer spirit make Chatham a better place every single day.

Now that's hometown pride.

I’m sorry! Santa’s helpers got a little delayed this year thanks to the arrival of sweet baby Paige and a little vacation time, but the need is no less important.

I’m so happy to be teaming up once again with Susan Kessell of the beloved Chatham Print & Design, the Madison YMCA, our flagship Weichert Realtors office at 64 Main Street in Chatham, and Jabberwocky to collect toys for underprivileged, underserved, and medically fragile children throughout New Jersey. Because children deserve presents all year long, not just in December.

If you’d like to help, you can:
🎁 Venmo me (-weichert), and I’ll shop locally for gifts.
🎁 Drop off gift cards.
🎁 Donate any new, unwrapped toy at one of our collection locations.

I’ll make sure everything is delivered at the end of the month.

As always, thank you to everyone who supports this wonderful cause. The need never goes away, and the opportunity to make a child smile is one we should never pass up.

Sending hugs from this Bubby. 💕
