“Brandy worked very hard to get my property sold. As well as communicating with me consistently throughout the process. And she negotiated hard to get the offer up as high as possible. I highly recommend Brandy Seltzer”
“It was a kind of long journey and Julia helped me a lot through it providing all the support and information I needed. The professionalism and the knowledgment of her work is the big asset of hers. I am very pleased with her work and care she gave me. It would be very hard to go through the whole process without her.”
“Working with Connie was a joy! She was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made recommendations on how to present our house, which I believe greatly enhanced it attractiveness. She understood pricing in our area, and positioned our house for a reasonable sale. She also knew about local regulations (like the need for fire alarm inspection) and advised us to take care of them so the did not hold up closing. Finally she was readily available. If she could not answer our calls, she was very prompt in calling back, and she was always ready to listen to our questions. She made a very stressful time much more tolerable.”
“Rob did well in preparing us for the sale. He understood our needs and time restraints we were under. Whenever we call him, he either anwsered at once or returned the call ASAP. He kept us in the loop at all times, providing an understanding of the next steps. Robert was professional at all times.”
“Always kept me up to date in a timely manner!”
“Martin's support and guidance made possible the sale of my property in very challenging circumstances. His professional demeanor was critical to land the closing.”
“Mrs. Beverley Gaudio was a very pleasant person with professionalism and ideas to work on the sale of my house. I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs to sell their property!”
“I highly recommend Sharif and Co. The whole team was professional and sold my home quickly and above asking price.”
“John was excellent and made every effort to sell our property quickly without giving away the farm. His counsel was valuable, timely and on point. Fantastic experience.”
“Allie is the best realtor. She found and made sure I got my dream house. You will not be disappointed! She is personable, pleasant, easy to reach, answers any questions you have, is on top of every step.....no need to go on....I think you got my point....she's fantastic!”

December’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $400,000—up 41.44% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $420,000 in Sussex County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $418,250 in January.

The median listing price for homes in Highland Lakes grew 5.65% from November to December, bringing the current median listing price to $375,000. Based on projected data for January, listing prices may continue to grow.
