About Sue Adler
CEO · Realtor Associate
As an “Outlier” who grew up in the Real Estate business, Sue has proven that it’s possible to start over in any market and succeed. She was formerly the #2 Re/Max agent in PA before moving up to Short Hills NJ and starting over in 2004. As a partner in the Keller Williams Short Hills, Summit, Chatham and Livingston offices, she quickly turned what was once “Sue Who? and “Keller Who?” into household names in the NJ Midtown Direct real estate community.
The Sue Adler Team has been the #1 Keller Williams Team in NJ for dollar volume every year since 2005 – and is consistently one of the top KW teams in the country (we are helping on average 200 families a year buy or sell homes when the average agent sells only 8-10 houses a year!)
It’s scary to admit this, but I’ve been selling real estate for 30+ years! I also grew up in the business. My father owned the top real estate office in our area, so I learned from the best. Even after selling over 4,000 homes in my career, I still love what I do, I’m extremely hands-on at a very high level, and can’t imagine doing anything else.
How do we do this and create a great overall consumer experience?
I have hired a team of specialists, strategists and consultants to ensure that our clients receive the highest caliber of service imaginable in the industry. Because we’re one of the highest producing teams in the country, our team attracts talent, and we are excited to get to work for you as your trusted advisors.

Sue’s Favorite Roles:
Keeping our clients pulse on the market at all times! The happiest clients are the most informed clients. I keep my clients in the loop at all times so that their house is the stand out in the market. It's better to be pro-active then reactive when selling in a Buyer's Market.
Being the connector! “When our buyers move here from out of the area, we feel very responsible for them, so we not only help with names of contractors, doctors, etc, but we LOVE to introduce our clients to each other (on facebook and in person) so that they make new friends right away. Friend me at www.facebook.com/sueadler if you'd like some introductions! Since most of our team's buyers are moving in from out of the area, every year we have a Client Mix & Mingle Party to introduce everyone to each other.”
Showcasing our listings! I don't want to give away ALL of my secrets online, but when we sit down during our consultation, I'll fill you in!
“It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters; its the size of the fight in the dog.” This quote describes me perfectly! If you read our client testimonials, you will see this theme throughout – I go to bat for our team's clients and am an advocate throughout the entire transaction.
Mentoring our clients who own small businesses on how to grow their own businesses through the use of social media. ( this is a passion of mine!)

Personal: I grew up in the Philly suburbs and was the #2 Remax agent in PA before I left to move to NJ to marry Peter, the perfect guy in the world for me. I started over in 2004, not knowing anyone, built a great lead generating website (when no one else even had one!) created community videos, which attracted a ton of relocation business, and the rest is history!
Peter and I have 3 daughters. Daryl and Abby Seitchik, from my first marriage, and Carolyn Jacoby, from Peter’s first marriage, and our child together is our adorable shih tzu ( who could pass for a webkin), Toby Jacoby.
Peter is a Professional Photographer and Agent Partner on our team- if you like the photography on our listings ( the 3-D walk throughs, drone photography, twilight)- shoot Peter an email and let him know. He takes tremendous pride in his work and in making sure our clients are getting everything they need – YOUR PHOTOS MAKE OR BREAK YOUR LISTING!!!
Well, I’m rambling….. so signing off, but now it’s your turn. What can I learn about you and your family and how can I help you?
Yours to count on,

To catch the strong market, we decided to empty our home of 26 years and get it to market as soon as possible. Sue and her team have a process for success that allowed this to happen. We never could have made it to market so fast without their incredible support at every turn. Once we were on the market, they handled everything and brought us multiple offers above our ask. It doesn't end there, and we had still had support and guidance right through the day of the closing. Sue and her full team were knowledgeable, responsive and focused on our successful outcome. Thanks!Read Less
We really benefitted from the Team’s special expertise at servicing the MidTown Direct communities!

When Sue Adler says that hers is a "team" effort, that's the real truth, and one of the major strengths of selecting her as your agent. Her husband, Peter Jacoby, took what are by far the best photographs of our former home, a rather unique Mid-Century Modern ranch in Mendham, NJ. It's an unusual 10,000+ square foot space, and Peter captured the expansive Great Room and its architectural details, the oversize Master Bedroom, and all the other rooms and 7 acres of grounds with a skill and creativity that brought in more interested visitors that any previous realtor. They were also open to using our own photographs of the house in different seasons and times of day which, especially for the outside pool, offered a more comprehensive look at the property. Then, with a sale pending, Dawn Preziosi - handling closing logistics - was always responsive, returning calls within hours if not answering immediately, and offering advice to address all the many items that need addressing when a home has wells, a septic system and the Twp has lots of permitting and CO requirements. On all that, Dawn was excellent, and Kaitlin in Sue's main office kept things moving forward. Sue herself suggested staging our basement, which we'd been using as a home office, and making it feel more livable. That also worked, but - of course - her professional advice as to setting the right price at the right time of year was critical. Lastly we feel her team's special expertise at servicing the "MidTown Direct" communities of Short Hills, Summit, etc., brought in a larger and broader set of potential Buyers than any previous realtor. For all those reasons, we're happy to recommend the Adler Team, and hope your experiences are as happy and successful as ours.Read Less

Whitney and I would like to thank you guys very much. You guys did a great job from start to finish. Everything from recommendations to strategy, to staging, and closing. The best way I can put it. You guys are Pro’s Pro’s. We can’t speak highly enough about our experience this time around selling our house. Maybe it was luck with the outcome, but I truly believe you make your own luck by working hard. And that is what you guys did. You guys were always there when we had questions, no matter how complex or simple the question. Thank you again for everything. We will highly recommend you guys to everyone we know in New Jersey. In return a case a wine seems fair. HAHA. Seriously though. You guys all made the experience so much better and we can’t sing your praises any higher. Thank you.
