Okay but real talk 📲🏡

If you've ever texted a realtor and waited three days for a reply... that's not going to happen here. I answer fast, I show up, and I don't send you a home I haven't already checked out myself.

Montclair, Glen Ridge, Maplewood, South Orange, Bloomfield, if it's on the market, I probably already have thoughts on it.

Ready when you are 👇

Questions I'm getting from Clifton buyers right now 👇

“Is there easy NYC access?”

Yes! Clifton is one of the few local areas with its own Park & Ride. You can catch the express bus into the city quickly. You also have multiple access points to Route 3 East, so if you prefer to drive you can be in the city in 30 minutes.

"Is Montclair Heights in Montclair?"
Montclair Heights, is the town bordering Upper Montclair. Although it has the Montclair name, it is a Clifton zip code. It's in Passaic County which means better taxes!

"Should I waive the inspection to be competitive?"

I get why people ask this, homes here are still getting multiple offers and going over asking. But no, I don't recommend waiving it blind. There are always other flexible terms that will still make your offer competitive.

"I am buying New Construction, what will my taxes be?"
For new construction taxes generally are not available until they are assessed. I would contact the tax assessors office to confirm the amount and we can pull comps to get an idea where the taxes will be.

"What's my monthly payment actually going to look like?"

This is the one people underestimate. Rates are hovering in the mid-6% range right now, so it's not just principal and interest, you've got NJ property taxes, insurance, maybe PMI depending on your down payment. I sit down with every client and run the real number before we even start looking, because I don't want you falling for a house you can't actually afford.
