Client Reviews

As first time home buyers, my wife and I didn't even know where to start. Abby was an absolute game-changer, taking the time to show us around and educate us on the important nuances in our desired towns. She offered consistently honest assessments on the homes we toured and her motivation was solely to make sure we were making the best choice for us. She was even able to find us some 'off-market'/exclusive listings and we eventually found our dream home this way. She is prompt and available, always willing to help. Since the closing, she has been amazing with keeping in touch and providing recommendations whenever needed. Can't thank her enough for all the hard work and dedication!

After several lost bids with other agents, I Googled top realtors in the area and came across Abby's profile. She had glowing reviews from past clients, so I sent her an email and got a response within the hour. Soon we met up at a listing and instantly felt relieved with how knowledgable she is and her go-getter attitude. The summer-fall '23 market was brutal, and being pregnant and living in an apartment, I started to feel defeated, but Abby reassured us "we're going to find you a home." I thought, how can she guarantee that? But, by October, we placed a bid on a gorgeous home in an idyllic area, and Abby got our offer accepted within just a few days of the house being listed. The process of bidding all the way to close was so smooth and streamlined because Abby really knows her stuff and her people. We couldn't be more grateful for her guidance and willingness to answer texts and calls wherever, whenever. Her response time is unmatched. Thank you, Abby!!

Abby is amazing at what she does. She helped us buy our first home in summer of 2023 in a crazy market with both high interest rates and lots of buyers in the market. She educated us about the market, helped us narrow in on the things that were most important us and helped us negotiate a winning offer on a home that we loved. She was never pushy, which was very important for us. She has good relationships with other agents in the area, and showed us several unlisted properties that sometimes never came to the market. She is fun to hang out with, has a good sense of humor and builds and maintains long term relationships. She has helped several friends of mine close on homes in the last few years as well. If I were to buy another home in my life in this area, or more likely than that, if I were to advise my friends about an agent to use, I would absolutely recommend her.

It was such a joy to work with Abby! She's not only so professional, but extremely patient, accessible and knowledgeable. We were working with her from across continents, and she was always available to speak, amenable to any changes we asked for, and willing to adjust to our changing requirements. As first time nervous buyers, it was not only easy to work with her, but almost comforting that she understood what we were looking to buy. She's a very warm and friendly person, and we are so so happy we worked with her to buy our home!

We have so many good things to say about Abby. I’m so glad we met her at an open house and instantly realized how knowledgeable and smart she is. Without hesitation we decided to work with her and it was the best decision ever! You need an expert agent like her in the aggressive seller’s market right now. Her knowledge and connections around the area are very impressive. She carefully understood our needs and desires, and immediately scheduled us to show some exclusives and listings. She always responded quickly (day, night and even when she was travelling) and, always researched something she didn’t know and put us in touch with right people. She is very patient, always smiling and has such a warm personality that even my 2-year-old was able to connect with her. Her years of excellent corporate career reflects through her professionalism and promptness which helped us find our dream home and pull together a compelling offer on it in less than 3 weeks of working with her. She was very supportive through every step and an excellent buyer’s advocate we could ever ask for. Even after closing, she was so kind to help us find painters, cleaners and other contractors needed for the move. Highly recommend Abby for her expertise and knowledge to anyone looking for a house in NJ area.

Abby helped us purchase our first home in a market where 15+ offers were being made on one property. We were new to the neighborhood and she was extremely insightful to help us make the right choice for our family. She has great relations with other brokers and that went a long way when we made an offer on our home. Very warm, personable and extremely likeable personality. Rarely ever do you find a broker who is so honest and not just in it to make a quick sale. Highly recommend her!!

If you’re looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond all your expectations, Abby Tanzer, is your girl. We got relocated from Boston, and had no idea about the Short Hills area. My husband was referred to Abby from a colleague at work. When I first spoke with her on the phone she told me I could call her at any time of day and she would get back with me shortly and she would always make time for us. Any questions we had should would answer, and even if she didn’t know she would research it until she found out. She picked me up from the airport when flying in to see homes. She would drive us around the area to teach us about Short Hills. She’s the type of person that knows everyone and everything. Moving is such a stressful experience to begin with and she made everything so much easier and whenever I got overwhelmed she was always there. She’s not just a realtor, but a therapist, friend, and even my emergency contact for my kids at school because we don’t know anyone in the area. You can tell Abby really cares about what she does and her clients. When we found our home, she was so helpful in the home buying process. I highly recommend choosing her, you can’t go wrong. I can’t say one negative thing about her.

Abby helped my husband and I buy our first home during the crazy 2021-2022 housing market. She was patient and informative from day 1, showing us homes at a variety of price points and towns in the initial months so we could get a sense of what we wanted/needed and where we wanted to live. She was honest and helpful in her advice, and didn't beat around the bush (which we appreciated)! She was always available to discuss comps, strategy for offers, and pros/cons of each property. Her input was spot on! She really knows her market! After months of looking, she never grew weary of us,and she was able to navigate us through a few "highest and best" offers. Once an offer was accepted, she navigated the closing process for us. I would thoroughly recommend Abby to anyone who is buying in the North Jersey market (specifically Chatham, Summit, Millburn,Short Hills, Livingston areas)!

Abby is hands down one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable about the New Jersey market - both in comps but also the right lawyers, inspectors, etc. She also helped advised us in a tricky situation where there were multiple offers to help us pull together a compelling offer for the house we wanted. Moreover, even when we pivoted on our search criteria, she was patient with us. She also works tirelessly; we could always connect with her and never felt like we were going to miss out on a house. Abby also showed great care for us, wanting to make sure we would land in a home we would love and enjoy for years to come! We would highly recommend working with her for anyone looking in the NJ area!

"If there were more than 5 stars, we would happily give them to Abby. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable, but she's so upbeat and easy to work with that she makes the process enjoyable and, dare I say it, FUN. This felt like a true partnership and not simply a business transaction."

We recently used Abby as our realtor for our first home in Basking Ridge. From day one she was available to answer questions via text or call at any time, send us a timeline of how the process will go, and overall make the process so much easier. She was flexible with showing us homes outside of our original area until we found the perfect home. Abby made us feel comfortable during our first home buying experience and walked us through the process every step of the way. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Abby!

Abby was a pleasure to work with while buying our first home. During our initial phone call she took the time to understand our needs and lay out exactly what she’d do to help us find the home of our dreams. Throughout the home search process, Abby was very quick to point out things about the houses we were looking at that we didn’t necessarily notice (both good things and bad things). She took the time to understand us and find us a house that fit all of our needs and desires. Abby was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in and it was clear she was very familiar with the real estate market in these areas. Once we were ready to put an offer on a house, she gave us a bunch of tips on how to make our offer more attractive. Once the offer was accepted, she walked us through the rest of the process up to and including the closing. She was extremely responsive throughout the process and always made us feel like we were a priority. We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent and would recommend Abby to anyone who asked.

As first time home-buyers navigating an unusually challenging market, we can say confidently that there is no one better to partner with than Abby. Abby was fully invested in our needs and committed to helping find us the house of our dreams. Abby has an unmatched knowledge of the area, and was key in guiding our decision making along the process. She was very responsive and an absolute pleasure to work with. And perhaps most importantly, she is very well connected in the area and has a very solid understanding of specific pros/drawbacks of each home, which may not be evident to buyers unfamiliar with the area or even less experienced realtors. After many months of search (with a different realtor/group), we eventually found the perfect home for us soon after partnering with Abby. And thanks to Abby’s guidance and experience, we got our first offer accepted for a highly sought after house in a very competitive market. Abby is simply an extraordinary realtor and a genuine, selfless person. We are thrilled to give Abby our strongest and most enthusiastic recommendation!

Our experience with Abby has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we embarked on our home-buying journey, she proved herself to be not just a real estate agent, but a trusted advisor and friend. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone in search of their perfect home. Abby is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm for helping clients shine through in every interaction. She took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and concerns, making us feel heard and valued throughout the process. She truly grasped what we were looking for in a home. Her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of the local market ensured that we never wasted time on unsuitable listings. As first time home buyers navigating the real estate market could be daunting, but with Abby, we felt confident and well-informed every step of the way. Her comprehensive knowledge of the area provided invaluable insights, helping us make informed decisions about neighborhoods, pricing, and future prospects. Even when faced we unexpected challenges in our home buying process, Abby remained supportive and optimistic which gave us confidence to pursue homes in a tough market. She offered us reassurance and guidance when we needed it most. Her positive attitude and unwavering dedication were a constant source of comfort and motivation, reminding us that we were on the right path. We cannot overstate our gratitude for Abby’s hard work, dedication, and genuine care throughout our home-buying journey. She went above and beyond to ensure that we found not just a house, but a place to call home. Thanks to her tireless efforts, what could have been a stressful ordeal turned into a positive and memorable experience. We could not have found our dream home without her support and guidance. We wholeheartedly recommend Abby to anyone in search of a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring real estate agent. Her exceptional knowledge, combined with her outstanding personal qualities, make her an invaluable asset to anyone navigating the real estate market. Thank you, Abby, for making our dreams a reality. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Abby totally rocked in helping me find and snag my dream home! They really got what I was looking for and knew the local scene inside out.

We met Abby at an open house and immediately warmed to her open and honest nature. We were passively looking for a new home for a while and she was happy to work at our pace. She was so responsive to all our needs. When we found the house we loved, Abby was there every step of the way. We are so grateful for her guidance and tenacity. Without her, we would never have moved!

Abby has been amazing! From our very first meeting, she assured us that she would help us find a home, and true to her word, we were under contract for our new home within just three weeks. She made the entire process incredibly enjoyable. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of anxiety along the way, but Abby was there to guide us through every step with her expertise and support.

Abby Tanzer was amazing throughout our home buying process. As first time home buyers, we really appreciated her knowledge, honesty and patience with us.

Abby is a professional, knowledgeable, and flexible realtor. She listened to our needs and there were many! She helped us through every step of the process. She made our move across the country during covid-19 restrictions an easier and a more comfortable undertaking than I had thought possible. She provided insight and expertise in all areas, making us feel secure during the entire process. Floors plans and virtual showings were essential to our search and she accommodated flawlessly. When we found the perfect home, her guidance through the offer and closing process was invaluable. We can't thank Amazing Abby enough, she is truly the best!

We had an amazing experience working with Abby Tanzer of the Sue Adler team! Abby was patient, dedicated, thorough and a true buyer’s advocate in a challenging market. Any time we had a question or a concern, Abby would do the needed research and get a through answer, always going above and beyond the call of duty. We met Abby at an open house before we were ready. She understood, asked what we were looking for, stayed in touch, and over the following months sent us some listings and exclusives to help pinpoint what our dream house might look like. Months later, when we were ready to find our dream home, we sent Abby some properties we wanted to see and she sent us some of her suggestions. Sure enough, Abby picked out our dream home, took us to see it several times before we made an offer, helped us to negotiate, and took nearly all of the stress away from buying a home. She was always available and happy to help no matter what the ask and we will be eternally grateful to her for helping us find and secure our forever home. Many thanks to Abby and the Sue Adler team for all they have done for us!

My husband and I recently closed on a beautiful home in Short Hills, a success in no small part due to our fortune in working with Abby Tanzer from the Sue Adler Team. Despite the adverse circumstances (COVID, timing, etc) Abby's unique combination of professionalism and personal touch relaxed the process and, in my opinion, was most responsible for us making the home of our dreams a reality. Abby is thoroughly versed in NJ real estate and is clearly in tune with the rapid evolution of the market during the pandemic. She patiently takes the time to catalogue her clients' desires and understands that buying a home is more than an agreement and an exchange of money. Every house she showed us was informed by our tastes and extrapolated from our reasons for leaving Brooklyn for New Jersey. Abby was objective and helpful when we toured homes, not once pushing us into a decision before we were ready, and always available if we needed to talk or return to a property that we liked for further review. Given the number of folks moving over the past year or so and how busy she must be, both my wife and I were blown away by the level of attention Abby's work ethic enables her to provide. After we got into contract, Abby was able to lend a similar level of care and expertise, helping with coordination (inspector, etc) all the way to the final walkthru. In short, we are ever so grateful to have been shepherded through the process by Abby and would unquestionably recommend her to anyone who would ask.

We worked with Abby Tanzer from Sue Adler to find our first home together (after getting married in the midst of COVID)! Abby was nothing short of fantastic. She did a ton of prep with us ahead of looking at homes, took the time to understand our preferences and what was important to us, and  suggested new things to think about in the context of each house. She made sure that we saw the neighborhood that each house was in as we drove from one to another, ensured that we noticed little things (both good and bad) in the homes that we might not have otherwise, and was often better than us at understanding how our tastes and preferences evolved as we saw more and more residences. We were never fully sold on moving out from NYC to NJ when we started our process with Abby and she never pushed us or made us feel like we had to go ahead with a purchase - she continually said that she supported whatever decision was best for us, and would always be here to help later on, should we not decide to buy at this time. Once we did put in an offer on a house, we got to the part that we truly could not have done without Abby! She put together comps and pulled in resources to help us come to an offer price, walked us through the closing process, was there every step of the way when we had questions, and was always willing and ready to meet us, an inspector, an appraised, or anyone else at the home who needed to be let in. We are SO grateful we found Abby and cannot recommend her enough!
