About Steven Merlo

Having the right real estate agent means having an agent who is committed to helping you buy or sell your home with the highest level of expertise in your local market. This also means helping you understanding each step of the buying or selling process. This commitment level has helped me build a remarkable track record of delivering results. I was born and raised in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood area, and still live in the area, so I am quite familiar with what the area has to offer.

Nothing is more exciting to me than the gratifying feeling I get from helping people meet their real estate needs. You can count on me to always do what's in your best interest. I pride myself on being honest, trustworthy, and knowledgeable in the real estate market. I know how important it is to find your dream home or to get the best offer for your property. Therefore, I will make it my responsibility to help you achieve those goals.

Ratings & Reviews

Steven Merlo represented my Wife and I as buyers during our transition from Queens, NYC to Union County, NJ from 2015-2017. Steve routinely arrived 15-minutes early to our weekend meetings and appeared to have researched the property before our meeting. Then, during the tour of the property he gave us his undivided attention and answered all our questions. We never felt rushed and had some worthwhile conversations while house hunting with Steve. When it was time to buy, Steve went at great lengths to make our offer stand out from the competition and devoted uncountable hours of his time to our happiness. One of the best benefits allowing Steve to represent us was he leverages technology with his services, making signing contracts and communicating simple. Through the ups and downs of house hunting Steve always dressed his best and kept us optimistic and positive regarding houses. I would recommend Steve's services for anyone interested in buying or selling a home.

I can't speak enough of our experience with Steven Merlo. First of all, excellent human being. As a first time home buyers, my family was little scared of the process of buying a home. After talking to Steven for the first time, I knew he was the right person to deal with. Throughout the process and all the transactions, he was highly professional and understood what we wanted. He was very responsive and easily reachable during and after working hours via email, phone and texting. Overall, we are pleased with our experience as a first time home buyer.

Excellent agent! Steve is very detail oriented and professional. Kept the buyer and their lawyer on track through out our sale. He always gets back to you quickly and is very pleasent. I recommend him with out reserve.

I had an excellent experience working with Steve Merlo. After listening to my timeline requirements, he suggested a price range that seemed reasonable. I've worked with other realtors over the years who dazzled me with a high list price, only to persuade me weeks or a month later that "the market wasn't supporting that price," and urged me to lower the price. Steve offered me great advice for staging the house and I felt that he was with me every step of the way. Despite his busy schedule, he always made me feel like I was his first priority. Whether selling or buying, I would highly recommend Steve for your real estate needs.

I was a first time home buyer, so I needed a lot of help. Steve was there for me every step of the way, from arranging showings to negotiating on my purchase. You can tell that he is extremely knowledgeable and loves what he does. I highly recommend him if you are purchasing or selling a home.
