We were very grateful to work with Lee in purchasing our house in Maplewood last spring/summer. As first time home buyers moving from NYC/Hoboken and not from the area, we didn't know much about the suburbs and various neighborhoods. Lee walked us through the home buying process, offered to give us a tour of the town, made recommendations for our attorney and house inspectors, and was well connected to other agents in the area. What we appreciated most about Lee over other agents we had met with was that he was always responsive and humble - no question was too big or too small, and always made us feel prioritized. He would also take time out of his schedule to view the house with our contractor before we officially closed - so it helped speed up the overall renovation timeline. It was an extremely competitive market with winning offers going well above asking, and Lee made sure to get our offers in quickly even if this required working on a Sunday night. We were able to start the house search process and have an accepted offer within 1 month. It was a very smooth first time home buying journey!
Lee was outstanding to work with! My family and I had been on a 2.5+ year journey that started with a rental (that Lee found for us) and continued beyond that as we searched for the home we hope to be in for the long haul as we raise our family. Lee was always sincere, genuine, communicative and took the time to understand our needs and what would work best for us. We view Lee as apart of the family and that says a lot - thank you Lee for helping us land an amazing home that we've already started to build previous memories in!
I had expressed interest in a few Maplewood NJ houses online before being contacted by Lee Smith, Buyer Specialist of The Sue Adler Team - in one quick phone call he was able to gain a quick appreciation for my situation and was immediately able to start sending through relevant properties. As a first time buyer and not being from the US, Lee explained the entire process in detail and drove me around the Maplewood neighborhoods providing a quick and enjoyable history lesson. I found his honesty about the properties, prices and market conditions refreshing and took his advise on everything from making an offer that was realistic (not too low, but not too high either!), attorney, surveyors and mortgage firm. I was lucky enough to have an offer accepted on a house I saw on the first day and Lee and his team guided me through the whole process which otherwise would have been daunting and may not have resulted in me finding what I hope will be my home for years. I would highly recommend Lee and the Sue Adler Team and have already done so with some colleagues and friends already!
Lee worked with us over four years to find the perfect house. Our home search was put on hold during a temporary relocation in the midst of the Covid lockdowns, and Lee kept in touch with us during the course of those three years, keeping us up to date with the NJ market and checking in on our goals. We were able to pick up where we left off with Lee’s help and found our perfect house. We appreciated his advice and knowledge on the area, procedure, closing, etc. for our first NJ home purchase. Will certainly refer Lee to family and friends in the near future.
Lee helped us with our first home purchase. He was honest, friendly, professional and knowledgeable and willing to accommodate our schedules even if it meant showings first thing Sunday morning or after work during the week. He was willing to go the extra mile - whether it was to get us into see house we wanted to see or meeting a contractor to get an estimate on short notice. Lee was very attentive to our wish list and worked with us over a year-long house hunt that consisted of multiple bidding wars, one house where the seller backed out and ultimately culminated in the perfect house. We would recommend Lee to friends, family and anyone looking for a house.
