Client Reviews

I have worked with Melissa on several projects and each has been a pleasure. Melissa has a thorough understanding of local markets and her advice has proven to be immeasurable. She has always been reachable and maintains a hands on approach from a first showing through negotiation Closing and punch list. Be hard pressed to find a real estate agent as talented as Melissa.

If you're like us, maybe you have worked with some real estate agents in the past. We quickly realized that the Sue Adler team is head-and-shoulders above the rest. They know what they're doing - and following their advice to the letter paid off in big ways. We found every member of the team to be expert, professional, proactive, organized, and responsive, start to finish. Their team made each phase of the selling process run very smoothly. Their advice on décor, repairs, pricing and strategy was spot on. Also, access to their list of contractors, decor consultants, and lawyers was invaluable. A big “thank you” to Melissa DiMartini-Bulwith, Chris Arcadia, Jessica Lascar, Leah Gomberg, and Reem Malik!

We worked with Melissa Bulwith and her team on the sale of our house. They guided us through the entire process and kept us on track every step of the way. They were available to answer all of our questions and their advise was invaluable. Melissa's guidance about setting the purchase price and negotiating the final price was fantastic. The team approach worked great, we had a point of contact for each phase of the sale and the entire team was always informed. I can't speak highly enough about the entire team.

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. Adam and Whitney Artiano Wickham Woods, Chatham NJ Seller

Above and beyond. It's that simple. Sue and her team are by far the most dedicated, professional, strategic, and friendly team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Having bought and sold 4 homes now, I can say with confidence that I wouldn't engage with any other broker. Sue's strategic mindset and marketing acumen, with Melissa's always-on approach to client service, and Chris' outstanding mastery of contracts, best practices & trends in the marketplace round-out this stellar team. Our house was listed on a Thursday and by the following Tuesday, we had an accepted offer! I can't stress enough how incredible this team is. Thank you all!!

I highly recommend Sue Adler and her team as your realtor. We had a great experience with all of them. Sue sold our home in Summit in 2 ½ weeks when other homes were sitting. I was incredibly impressed and grateful for her team approach. Sue has a listing support team who are experts in  marketing, selling and home inspection negotiations. We would have been lost without everyone’s expertise. Sue helped us price our house right and was able to get numerous agents and brokers into our house immediately. Melissa orchestrated all of the marketing and simplified the process using an open house app which made the scheduling of showings easy and convenient. Chris Arcadia was a key member of the team, as he helped us get our house sale-ready and then helped us through the inspection negotiations. Amy Margulies helped us on the buy side, and we loved her! I would definitely use Sue’s team again!

Sue and her team listed and sold our home in Summit, NJ as part of an overall plan to buy a home in Short Hills, NJ. We trusted Sue to handle our sale and she expertly managed this listing in the extremely quick timeframe that was required to satisfy our corresponding home purchase contingency. Melissa is such an asset to Sue's team and made the listing process painless. Keep in mind that we had to accomplish in less than 2 days what most people do over the course of 2 weeks. In less than 48 hours, Melissa managed a team of resources that photographed, wrote copy and got our home in tip-top shape for an open house and showings that weekend. We were overwhelmed with a large amount of traffic and received multiple offers after less than a week after our home went on the market. Sue guided us through a complicated set of offers and after accepting Chris was extremely skilled at managing the rest of the selling process. He was there for every step of the way from inspection to closing and was a great resource for any and all questions. Sue has put together a great team and Melissa and Chris are a pleasure to deal with throughout this huge life-changing process

"Dear Sue and team, We can't thank you enough for all you have done in helping us sell our home in such a short period of time and with multiple offers. A real estate transaction can sometimes feel like a never ending roller coaster ride, but thanks to you and your great team members, ours was smooth sailing. From the beginning to the end--you, Peter, Melissa, and Chris, handled everything that came across in an optimistic, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional manner. You were there for us every step of the way, making this transaction an effortless one for us as the sellers. Thanks again for all your great support in making this experience as pleasant as possible. We will definitely be recommending you and your team to anyone who is looking to buy/sell!"

I'll start with WOW...from the moment that I met Sue, I was so impressed with her local area knowledge and business savvy. I respected and admired her approach to selling a home. Lets get the price right and the customers will come...even potentially a bidding war. And she was right...at the right price I received multiple offers within 4 days of the listing. All were either above listing or at listing. What made the experience with the Sue Adler Team was her team. Between Sue, Melissa ( Listing Success Manager) and Neil (Transaction  Manager), I felt completely at ease and they were there when I needed. Because of my situation, I relied heavily on Sue's team, and they delivered. Thanks for all the hard work, I couldn't do it without ALL of you.

I recently used Sue Adler team to market my newly renovated house. I would like to share two things with people who wonder why I decided to use her team and how my experiences with the team were. To be honest, it is hard to choose from among many real estate agents in Short Hills since most of them are super good. What I did was that I invited three groups of agents and presented to me how they would market my house. I finally picked The Sue Adler Team because I think their proposed price strategy is reasonable and well thought out; their marketing records in the past year are excellent; and their proposed marketing strategy was very promising. I really think I made the right decision. Now let me share my experiences in working with them. The house was sold after the first open house - impressive, right? That came from a few months of hard upfront work - Sue made many suggestions about how to build the house to the best quality and usability during the last stage of construction, Sue's team member, Melissa, followed all way through to communicate with my builder (she acted as if she were MY manager!); and after the signing of the sale agreement, Sue has a dedicated transaction manager who helped to manage transaction day and nights. I did not know Sue before this house. I chose her team based purely on business consideration and I highly recommend using Sue and her team.

Working with Sue Adler and her team was an incredible experience! We met with Sue and were very impressed with her expertise of the market. She outlined a strategy for selling our Chatham house by setting an attractive asking price to enhance the level of interest and attract offers. The strategy was right on, and the house was shown and sold within 2 weeks of our meeting, and while we were on a 2-week vacation in Europe. We had 37 showings in a 4-day period and received 11 offers, all above our asking price. Sue's team approach is extremely effective. We worked with a team of specialists, where each member of the team handles a different phase of the process and is expert at that phase. The team communicates with each other and with us so it is an extremely well run process. Sue is the listing agent, and plans the pricing strategy and shows the house. Melissa is the project manager through the sale and coordinates the sale/contract process. They recommended Leah, a staging specialist, who did a great job with some simple changes to allow potential buyers to see the space and the best utilization of the rooms. We met with a copywriter and photographer, who developed a brochure on our house. We stayed in touch with Sue and Melissa while in Europe, and were able to select the best offer (which we were very pleased with and complete the contract process by phone and online documents. Then Dawn took over to work with us and prepare for the home inspection and closing process. She was excellent, and we had all bases covered. Again, great communication and always accessible. Together, we were able to handle all issues and close on schedule, 5 weeks after the contract was signed. This was an exceptional experience, beginning with the pricing strategy which was right on point, and continuing through the offer/sale, contract, and closing phases. We would strongly recommend Sue and her team to any seller, and in fact have recommended her already to other potential sellers. Excellent job everyone! Thank you

Melissa was absolutely the best! From the time we met, through entire process and negotiations. Melissa delivered on every possible aspect. She is tough, knows her craft and trustworthy. Made the whole process along with her team smooth and painless. Thanks Melissa for everything!

Our Realtor, Melissa Bulwith, with the Sue Adler Team of Keller Williams was everything you could hope for as a consummate professional!! As our Realtor, Melissa advised us on the best strategies needed for a successful outcome. Melissa Bulwith coordinated and directed her TEAM, a whole group working seamlessly together in making our dream come true of listing/prepping/receiving multiple bids the FIRST weekend listed/selling/closing our 20 year beloved family home in New Providence, NJ. She has an in-depth knowledge of the area and if you listen to her advice, you can be successful too!! Of note, we did this entire transaction with Melissa Bulwith while we were located out of state, no easy task, unless you have Melissa on your side!! We highly recommend her wholeheartedly to any families moving into/out of New Providence and the surrounding area.

My husband and I are so grateful we have had Melissa Bulwith and her team throughout the process of selling our home! They made it such an enjoyable experience and also stress-free! They are knowledgeable, attentive and responsive. The whole process went quickly and Melissa went above and beyond! We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Sue and her team recently facilitated the sale of our home of 31 years. And I can't overemphasize enough the value of having a 'team' behind you. From photos to staging to inspection to closing, we felt we had true partners in Sue, Melissa, Chris and Peter. They dealt with us with true professionalism and each had a heartfelt understanding of the emotions and stress that go into selling a home. They get and deserve my highest recommendation.

Sue – On behalf of Ivy and myself I am writing to thank you for all of your sage advice, support, and honesty. You always told us the way things were, rather than the way that we wished them to be. And the proof is in the pudding –by listening to you and following your directives we were able to conclude a successful sale—albeit with the usual trials and tribulations that go along with dealing with purchasers of ones home. And thank you for your team – everyone from Peter, to Melissa, to Chris to Rick – and the sales people who hosted our open houses- everyone was supportive, knowledgeable and great to work with. Your recommendation of both Pam (and her assorted team) and Leah was perfect; without Pam we never would have been able to dispose of all of the “extras” that we had accumulated in order to get the house into tip top shape.

Even the attorney whose name you gave me- Ron Zoller- was excellent. In the final analysis, it is no mystery that considering all of these things a friend of ours recently commented to me “it seems like all of the listings that sell in Short Hills belong to Sue Adler!” No surprise there! Best wishes

Professionally, the Sue Adler Team can't be topped. Sue personally evaluated my home, which was which I had added a mission-style addition that increased the floor space by nearly 50% and made the home unlike anything usually found in Glenwood. Sue genuinely appreciated the love and care put into the upgraded design, and priced the home accordingly. Then Sue's listing success manager(Melissa) put me in touch with contractors to finish projects and perfect the home, and high school/college kids to help de-clutter. Then, she actually, physically, helped me move stuff” into the garage in preparation for the photo shoot. The photographer took great photos of both inside and outside, capturing many of the more subtle upgrades, for the brochure. We hit the market Thursday, and by Monday we had three offers over asking price! Then, Sue's post-closing “Transactional” team took over. Dawn advised on and helped negotiate and resolve the home inspection issues, made sure all the Addition's permits were closed out (who knew?), set up all the inspections needed, picked up the permits, took care of access to the house for the town inspections so I could stay at work and even picked up and installed the kitchen fire extinguisher required by code (again, who knew?). The amount we received over the asking price was enough to pay the entire Realtors' fee! On a personal level, the entire Sue Adler team was sensitive to the fact that I was going through a divorce, tackling this project, both enormous in size and in emotional difficulty, by myself. They were sympathetic, supportive, motivating, helpful, all at the right time. I was never alone in this project.

The Sue Adler team is the best in the Real Estate “game”. I had an Amazing experience working with Sue to sell my home in Northside Summit. I met Sue back in 2013 when I first thought about putting my house on the Market. I was so impressed at our first consultation that I knew I just HAD to work with Sue. I decided to wait a bit before putting my house up for sale. Sue completely respected my hesitancy and did not put any pressure on me. When I knew I finally was ready to move, I immediately contacted Sue. She was over the next day with a complete file of comps. At our meeting, Sue explained the home selling process, how she and her team of experts would work with me each step of the way in selling my home. We set a sale price and I signed on to have her list my home. Sue is not only professional and efficient but she is nice and understands that the selling process can be a very stressful situation for the seller. Sue knows her market, knows how to structure a sale process and transaction that benefits the seller and the buyer. From our first consultation all the way to closing the deal she was totally focused on my needs. There were absolutely no communication gaps in coverage and execution of selling my home. Each member of her team has a specialty in bringing a home to the listing phase: the photography and copy writing were fantastic, the open houses were perfectly managed. When it came to the contract phase Sue guided me through every step from explaining the terms, negotiating on my behalf to accepting the right offer. Sue has a fantastic “transaction team” that jumps in and gets the owner through any and all issues from the inspection to the signing of the contract. Sue’s attitude of “let’s get it done” is 100% what she delivers. Sue Adler and her team are truly “'yours to count on'”. Thank you Sue, Melissa, Peter, Dawn and Neil for getting me through to the finish line without me once having to break a sweat.
