Testimonials

“When I decided to sell my 3 family investment property I wanted to choose a recognizable Real Estate company in town so I chose Coldwell Banker. I worked with both Real Estate Brokers Janet and Renee. My goal was to quickly sell my house so they did a market analysis and we agreed on the selling price. In less than 2 weeks I had an offer!! Janet and Renee worked really hard in getting me the best deal and always responded immediately to any question or issues I had. They always went above and beyond in each step of the process. Couldn’t have asked for a better team. Would totally recommend Janet and Renee and will definitely use them again when I’m ready to sell my primary residence.”
– Adel, Nutley

“Janet and her staff were extremely helpful in getting my property sold. Janet and Renee’; helped me to show my home with pride. I received very close to my asking price. I thought that was great considering the market at the time. I would recommend Janet and her team to anyone selling their home.”

“Janet and her team were able to execute a fairly smooth transaction at a very favorable price when they listed our 100+ year old home in the Nutley Park Area. As a local realtor who lives and works in Nutley, she really brings an expertise that is not possible with other realtors who primarily cover other areas like Montclair, Glen Ridge, etc… We had worked with 2 other brokers previously, who claimed to cover the area – with disappointing results that actually cost us money. Janet was the first realtor that really took the time to evaluate our home and make recommendations that had a measurable impact. She was extremely transparent and responsive, and made the process more efficient by refining the negotiations prior to going to contract (reducing the time in attorney review, and diminishing the “negotiation drama”). Janet and her team executed a very complicated process, for all parties, and really made the transaction run smoothly. She gives personal attention to her listings, keeps the process moving forward, and is very pro-active about getting the job done. We highly recommend her and her team – especially when you need a realtor who can provide comfort by holding your hand through the process, and showcase the great benefits of living in a hidden gem of a community like Nutley.”

“I have known Janet DePalma for more than seven years, During that time period of time I have witnessed her involvement with Cambridge Heights and the role she has played to make Cambridge Heights a very desirable community to live in ,She has been very active in coordinating “Meet and Greets” so that new owners/renters know what is available for them in Nutley. The “Meet and Greets” brought residents of Cambridge heights together with the developer, local politicians and merchants. She has displayed her talents when it came to negotiating problems between the developer and unit owners. Her knowledge of real estate, the law, Nutley and the mediation process has turned unhappy unit owners to satisfied unit owners. Janet is Nutley’s number one resident. She has given more to this community in the form of time, money and caring. She sponsors children’s parties at Easter time, Halloween and sleigh rides at Christmas. Planned and executed “Pool Parties” marketing sales of Town Houses at Cambridge Heights. And she treats every one with dignity and respect.”

“Dear Janet, I know I speak on behalf of David Gillespie of the Tarragon Development Corporation in thanking you for the personal time and consideration that you extended to us last week when we met in your office. Your assistance in sharing with us the extensive knowledge that you have in the local residential real estate marketplace is invaluable to us. Our evaluation of the townhouse, condominium and rental comps in the Nutley-Belleville area was facilitated by the depth of your professional work history in that area. I was pleased to see that you were able to prosper in the re-sale market within townhouse communities that I had developed in your immediate area and it was uplifting to hear that you and your sales staff are faring well in the current market. Again, our thanks for your hard work on our behalf.”
