Selling my mother's home after 72 years was an emotional and deeply personal experience for our…read morefamily, and we could not have asked for a better real estate agent to guide us through it. From the very beginning, Sharon Steele from Coldwell Banker treated both my mother's home and our family with patience, compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. At our first meeting it was evident that Sharon was knowledgable about the real estate market in Cranford and the surrounding area. Fully aware of the complexities that could go with selling a home, it was clear that Sharon would be more than capable of navigating all that would come with the sale of our family home.. Her attention to detail, outstanding communication skills made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She respected the history and memories tied to the home while also helping us achieve an excellent outcome with the sale. Whenever we had a question and reached out to Sharon, she responded immediately with not just an answer, but a solution. What truly stood out was her kindness and dedication every step of the way. We always felt supported, informed, and confident that we were in the best hands possible. It is clear to our family why Sharon is the "Top Sales Agent" for all the homes sold in Cranford. We would highly recommend Sharon Steele to anyone looking for a Top Real Estate Agent for the Cranford, Westfield area. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for our family, it was efficient, professional and overall excellent outcome. -The Leonard Family.

She helped us buy our home in…read moreCranford years ago, and when it was time to sell 215 Orchard Street, she delivered beyond anything we imagined--setting a record as the highest-selling home in Cranford, NJ at the time. What sets Sharon apart is her unmatched marketing package. The professional photography and videography were stunning, but it didn't stop there. Our home was featured across Instagram, Facebook posts, Stories, and Reels, paired with gorgeous printed brochures that elevated the entire presentation. Her social media reach goes far beyond Union County, drawing serious buyers from Westfield, surrounding towns, and even NYC boroughs. Sharon knows how to price, position, and promote a luxury home--and how to negotiate with confidence. She is organized, communicative, and incredibly strategic, which made the process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to her expertise, our home sold within the first weekend of exclusive showings. There are many good agents, but Sharon is a top real estate agent and an absolute standout. We recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling in Cranford, Westfield, or the surrounding areas.

I swear she doesn't sleep! We had just had a baby, so we were texting her all hours of the day, and she always responds immediately! Questions? Concerns? She is there to answer them all and make you feel calm. She is organized, sending you everything that meets your criteria, but also very honest, telling you what she thinks isn't a good match. She is experienced and so good at her job! One example, she spotted asbestos flooring the moment we stepped into a home and she dragged us out of there! The cherry on top is when she stocked our fridge at our new home because she wanted to make sure we're taken care of. That's the person you want on your side. Honestly, I am sad that our process is over because I'm going to miss talking to her everyday. I'm referring her to everyone I know! Thank you Laura!!!

Laura was absolutely great to work with. As first-time buyers in a very challenging market, we…read morewould not have found our perfect house without her. She has great local knowledge and a ton of connections. She knows how to get things done, but in a way that is calm and low-stress, and she showed great patience as we went through multiple offers.

Tricia is the best and most helpful realtor we've ever met!…read more We live in California and needed a local realtor we could rely on to navigate through many challenges in getting our elderly parents home on the market and sold in Livingston. To call Tricia a realtor is an understatement. She's a masterful concierge that guides you through the home selling (or buying) process making smart suggestions, letting you make the informed decisions, all the while negotiating tough as nails on your behalf. We needed to make numerous alterations and fixes to the house prior to listing. Tricia went above and beyond in suggesting many low cost improvements, coordinating with our inspectors / contractors, and keeping a watchful eye on the house, chasing down at least one inspector and making sure the contractors stayed on schedule. She even did some of the upgrades herself! Tricia pays attention to every little detail, consistently communicates via text, email, and/or phone and was rapidly responsive to our questions even late at night when we expected her response to come back the next morning. We truly treasure the experience with Tricia and our parents are immensely grateful that their home was sold with such ease. We couldn't have done it without her and highly recommend Tricia to anyone selling or buying a home!

We found our dream home thanks to Tricia! She knows the market, gives great advice and is a joy to…read morework with. Her energy and enthusiasm are unmatched - every moment working with her helped us in making the best decision possible - we learned so much from her throughout the process! When it comes to details, asking hard questions and getting creative, Tricia is an excellent partner. She has so many great ideas and also isn't afraid to point out negatives when needed. Her honesty was critical. In this market, it was incredibly challenging and competitive, but Tricia worked so hard with us for months to find the perfect fit. She never gives up and is extremely thorough, patient and trustworthy. We knew the moment we started working with her that we could rely on her expertise to find the perfect home. We would highly recommend her!

I contacted Tezeta Roro approximately one year before I was ready to sell my home. Upon knowing…read morewhat my hopes were and my reasons for selling, she provided helpful community information and resources throughout the year. When I was ready to sell, Tez scheduled a consultation to better acquaint me with the process and with her qualifications. More importantly, she asked about my expectations. After the initial consultation, I was convinced that Tez was the person that I wanted to work with on the sale of my home. One of the most helpful aspects of the pre-listing process was that Tez looked at my house and the property and suggested things that I should do before my home was listed to make the process go smoothly. Her experience and knowledge led me to trust her suggestions and to follow through. She referred contractors and companies who did excellent work. That is a key aspect of her approach. She is gracious and knowledgeable. She guides but does not demand. Tez clearly presented options, but left the decisions to me as the seller. She remained in contact throughout the process and always followed up on the work that was to be done. It reinforced my position that she was the right person to work with. When my home was listed and showings began, she provided feedback - always keeping me aware of potential buyers' perceptions. We weighed the offers and made an informed decision. Communication was key to reducing the stress of selling my home. I, unfortunately, always prepare for the possibility that something will go wrong. Throughout the process of obtaining a contract to the day of the final closing, Tez clearly explained the timeline, what to expect, and eased any anxiety. It has been years since I sold a house, but this time was the most efficient. Tez is a professional who is so gracious. She works very hard for her clients. I can now move forward with the hope that I expressed to her during our first consultation. She was exceptional!

Let me summarize our experience with Tezeta Roro in 3 words: TEZ IS AMAZING! I've been with Tez…read moreas my realtor for over 5 years through a rental of a home, buying two homes and selling one and she has been pivotal every step away. Her knowledge for realty and the process of selling and acquiring properties makes you feel safe and comfortable even when making difficult decisions. Her warmth and kindness takes so much stress off of a very stressful situation. With Tez as my realtor I do not ever worry about the process, I know everything will get done; questions will be asked and answered, all i's will be dotted, and all t's will be crossed. But aside from being an amazing realtor she is an advocate and a strong community leader in West Orange, and a person I look up to. She's integral to the people that she works with, lives with and loves and you feel that and know that working with her. She gives you guidance for life not just for realty and when you're making some of the biggest decisions of your life that is what you need. Working with Tez I always felt empowered and heard. Her knowledge of all the surrounding cities in northern Jersey and beyond is incredible as well. It is what helped me make the correct decision for my family as far as where to live. We just sold our home and I know the only reason that it sold as quickly as it did is because of Tez and her promotion, ideas and input. Selling a home was by far harder than buying one and I can't truly state in words how Tez's guidance and reassurance through the process kept me and my family sane. We just bought our forever Home with Tez and as happy as I am, it makes me a little sad that I might not get to use Tez as a realtor for a while. Once you meet her you'll know why she will become so much more than realtor she'll become your friend.

I attended one of West End's Buyers Seminars and was blown away. They clearly have a passion for…read morereal estate and a deep knowledge of real estate and how the local market works. The way they explained everything was so clear, helpful and really made it easy to understand (especially for a novice first time buyer like me!) Even though I'm not ready to buy just yet the agents and broker took so much time after the seminar to answer all of my questions and really made me excited to work with them when I am read to buy. It's clear they care about educating people and making sure we understand the entire process and what it entails. I feel like I got a great head start and feel really excited & lucky to have found West End.

Kate is an amazing agent: Smart, experienced, attentive, witty, and kind…read more We worked with her in May/June 2021 and had an amazing experience. We thoroughly vetted her before working with her, and she stood head and shoulders above anyone else we considered. So many buyers have struck out in this housing market, but with Kate's guidance our first offer was accepted, and she skillfully helped us navigate every step until we closed on our house. Looking to buy your first house is overwhelming, but Kate made it easy and fun. She has a great intuition for how hands- on or hands- off an agent you need. She was infinitely knowledgeable about the SOMA area--not just for real estate purposes, but restaurants to try, tradesperson recommendations, and more. She was always available by text, email, and phone and answered all our (many!) questions; when she didn't know something, she was very honest and would look up the answer or point us to someone who could help. Her unofficial team of inspectors, lawyers, etc. were also top notch. We highly recommend working with Kate--not only is she a stellar agent, but a fun person with a great sense of humor!

I would give Kate an absolute 10/10 and would recommend her to anyone who asked for an agent.

From start to finish, Alyssa was the best real estate agent we could have ever imagined. We used…read moreher services on both the buying and selling sides. We first spoke over the phone in February 2018 and she just seemed to get it - what we were looking for, how we wanted to go about our search, and how we wanted to go about selling our home. She was just as warm, personable, and professional when we met her in person. She is a mom too so completely understood our limitations in regards to time and childcare. Alyssa told us she started in real estate after she had a bad experience herself. We also had had a bad experience when we bought our first home. This experience was nothing like that! Alyssa was never pushy or overbearing. She was virtually always available by phone, text, or email. She was present at both of our closings (buying and selling), during our home inspection, and during our walk through on the buying side. She did several open houses when we were selling, as well as numerous showings. She is completely trustworthy and went above and beyond (she noticed we had an ant problem after we had been away on vacation and was doing an open house, so took it upon herself to place traps and fix the problem). Alyssa even gave us lovely cards and generous and thoughtful gifts when we closed on each house. And even afterwards, when we had moved in and our old house was sold, she still offered to help us by picking up mail that was accidentally delivered to our old house and delivered it to our new house! Alyssa is a top notch realtor. She is simply a lovely person who is incredibly hard working. We found our dream home thanks to her. I can not recommend her highly enough.

Alyssa is an AWESOME realtor. She has such a passion for helping her clients and she always puts…read morethem first. We started working with Alyssa in mid 2017 and as first time home buyers, we did not know anything about buying a house, where to start, what to do or what it truly entailed. Alyssa made that process so smooth and easy for us. She really zoned in on what our wants, needs, musts and desires were and sent us homes that fit that criteria. From mid 2017 - Present, we saw countless homes together. I could find a home we wanted to see and whether it was one home or 6, literally, she made arrangements for us to see based on our schedules. I cannot stress enough that she is a realtor that is on YOUR side, she is looking through the houses with you and telling you honest feedback, whether it be the condition of a hot water heater or if a home is priced more than the comparable homes in the area. She truly gets to know her clients so she can really pinpoint what is going to be a priority for them, which is truly what makes her successful. After we found the home for us, more than a year later Alyssa made the buying process so easy for us, through the offer, acceptance, inspections, attorney review, right through closing. She was there with us and available every step of the way. She helped us find a reliable and reputable attorney who advocated alongside of her for our best interests, she provided resources for companies for inspections and furthermore coordinated inspections, obtained certificates, spoke with some vendors on our behalf, basically did anything she could to help us as the buyers and make this process that is overwhelming to first time home buyers much easier. Alyssa went to the house to facilitate appointments without disrupting my time at work. She was present all all inspections, she insisted on a final walk through the day of closing to make sure all was in order for us and attended the closing with us. She was so sweet, she even showed up to closing with a card and incredibly thoughtful gift. Alyssa really goes above and beyond for her client. I would recommend you work with her if you want to receive the highest quality of service. She is not pushy, she is not calling you every day or pushing you to purchase a house you're not interested in, she wants whatever you want and wants to make sure in that you get what you deserve and do not get taken advantage of. Providing her clients honest information and feedback and ensuring they aren't getting taken advantage of is something Alyssa feels very strongly about, being that when she was house hunting personally, her real estate agent didn't provide that service to her. After encountering a number of issues, she wanted to make sure what happened to her didn't happened to anyone else. Anyone with that much passion and dedication to make a difference in others lives says a lot about the kind of person she is. Alyssa has a positive energy about her and again, has that passion. Do yourself a favor, work with someone who is working for you and you will not be disappointed she is truly great!! I loved working with her.
