As a Broker with 25+ years of experience, who is an expert in the Montclair Essex County area's, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about Selling and Buying Real Estate in Northern NJ. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date Market information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you; including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will assist with your homes Market readiness, market and advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee all inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
Below are letters I received from homeowners in distress I have been working with this past year:
Hello Rickey, When I first met you during my housing crisis; I was afraid, embarrassed and ashamed. You made my family and I very comfortable knowing that you would handle the crisis! You shouldered our anxiety as well as the unknown. Your bedside manner and professionalism is first class. I have already referred others who are experiencing similar Real Estate Crisis. BM - Montclair Police Department
Good Morning Rickey, It has been two years since I first called you for assistance. Your follow up and availability during this period is not normal behavior for Realtors today. Our home is finally Active and on the Market. We have confidence in you, your expertise, marketing plan and your CDPE skills to get our home Sold quickly. Carl – Montclair
Hello Rickey, Hope all is well. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Prosperous new Year!!! Thank You for working so aggressively on my Short Sale. Even though my Bank approved the Short Sale only to have the Banks “investor” withdraw the approval weeks before closing due to an increased appraisal value of $220,000??? We appreciate your hard work, follow up and early morning effort. SK - West Caldwell
Good Afternoon Rickey, We were referred to you by our attorney. We were skeptical at first due to our recent really horrible experiences. Realtors who claim to know Distressed and Short Sale Marketing. You are everything and more that our attorney promised. We hired your Team to market, negotiate and sell our Estate Sale, Short Sale and Tax Lien Sale <one property> You took our fears and placed them on your shoulders. We value your honesty, integrity and professionalism. I have three people I care about in need your assistance now! LM – Branch Brook Newark
Good Afternoon Rickey D. Cooper, I called you for one reason; Your CDPE certification. During our initial consultation, your extensive knowledge, other certifications and support Team made me hire you over three other local Realtors. They didn’t come close to your “Closed Record” of Short and Distressed Sale Closings in NJ. We are now under contract after less than 45 days! Dr.E. - North Caldwell
Hey Rickey, Thanks to you and your Short Sale marketing expertise, we have retired to our second home in Puerto Rico. You really love what you do! Your hard work paid off for us. My husband and I never cried so much to receive a check for $35K at the Short Sale Closing... Did you receive the three ex coworkers referred to you? They need the same thing. We really believe your slogan: ILoveCLosingForYou.com RJ - Plainfield
