She came over and gave us advice on the house, pretty much she laid it out as: if you want to sell at $x, then you need to do this this and this, but if you are OK with $z, then you only have to do this and this. She also told us what to expect with the market and when would be best to buy or sell in different scenarios.

Seeking to be a first time homeowner with my fiance, we were lucky enough to have Ed referred to…read moreus.  From the start, he didn't want to send us just random listings in towns we wanted to live in, he wanted to understand exactly what we're looking for.  Multiple conversations about what was most important to us in looking for a home and that ended up simplifying the process as he clearly cared and wanted us to find the right home for us.   Fast forward 6 patient months, we happily just closed on a great home in Rutherford walking distance to the train and easy commute to the city.  As a first time homeowner, I had tons of questions and one of the best parts of working with Ed was his consistency and availability.  Whether it was asking about a certain listing, or understanding what the right offer price should be, or helping us know the home's worth after inspection, it was just a ton of expertise needed and he was always there. It could have been a text at 7am, phone call at 9pm, emails throughout the day, Ed was always available to answer questions and give guidance.  I was never ever chasing him for a response.  In fact if Ed didn't reply back in more than 5 minutes even with a simple "I will call you in 10 minutes" it was surprising.  He always made himself available.  That type of service gave us peace of mind from the start of the search until closing.  And Ed has an enormous network with people reaching out to him constantly but you'd never know it b/c the consistent personalized relationship he creates just goes such a long way and truly shows his character as a professional and person.   Another element that I liked working with Ed was his honesty.  He always put the ball back in our court because it's my decision at the end of the day but his advice was not trying to push us in any direction, it was just what he truly felt.  In a commission based industry, I imagine it would be easy to keep highlighting the positives in a home but he would also bring up negatives before we even saw them.  Or even during negotiations, telling us we shouldn't ask for this and here's why...That type of honesty was extremely valuable and always reminded me he is really in this for our best interest.   All in all, starting from scratch in buying a home is a process and some say it could be long and painful.  For my fiance and I, it was stress free. Now every purchase and house sale is different for everyone however I'd bet anyone working with Ed will always know where they stand and feel good about it. Having Ed in your corner is a great place to be and I look forward to sending my friends and family his way when they're ready.

When we went back to them to complain they said the original had already been moved into and there was nothing they could do. After several extremely rude calls with their COO and legal person, we contacted an attorney to get our broker fee from them returned. The entire exchange was unprofessional and rude on their part.

Matt Brown is someone we are familiar with and respect as his knowledge of Hoboken and Hudson County is deep. His network and reach of quality clients is a part of what makes him so successful, but we also truly appreciated how helpful he was with all of the little details, like staging our home correctly by providing props, plants and flowers and a professional photographer. Most importantly Matt understands the market and gave us advice on what to do and very importantly what not to do, particularly when it came to negotiations and entertaining multiple offers. We sold our home in 5 days for cash with competing offers that pushed our home well above the asking price. It was enough to cover our broker fee and take care of our out of state moving costs. If you are looking for an intelligent, honest broker who will represent your home well, look no further than for Matt Brown at HRG.

Our 150 yr old row house, previously converted to a 4 family, with driveway, garage and rear carriage house required a strategic analysis and creative marketing plan. Peter's deep understanding of Hoboken real estate and big picture market trends were invaluable in bringing the property to market and then contract within weeks. Peter was professional, straight forward and transparent about his process as he guided and advised us on every detail along the way. He counseled us on how to prep the property and was a great resource in helping us find just the right people to work with. Peter's passion for architecture and knowledge of historic homes is infectious and a great asset in showing and selling buildings of historic importance, of which there are many in Hoboken. We highly recommend him. Ada + Jon
