Client Reviews

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.

The Sue Adler Team is just that - a team! We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sue from start to finish on the sale of our home. We valued her expertise and counsel and were blown away by the commitment and go-the-extra-mile attitude of her Transaction Success Manager, Chris Arcadia. We would recommend the Sue Adler Team to anyone without hesitation!

Sue Adler’s team is a professional, efficient, focused group with dedicated staff, each of whom perform a specific function. They helped us sell our home in 3 weeks. As our broker, Sue ‘interviewed’ us, explained market factors at play and advised us on a listing price that would result in a quick sale. Chris was our project manager and was a single go-to person to execute on the preparation and sale. Sue introduced us to Leah, who staged our home so beautifully that we wondered if we should continue to live there. They also recommended reliable contractors who could address issues and repairs, both big and small. Our home went on the market just before an unexpected major snowstorm. A lot of other similar homes went on the market the next week. Sue guided us on aggressively changing our list price and we got 3 offers the next week and closed in 4 weeks. Through the entire process, Sue’s team were in constant communication using Slack and other technologies.

I can't say enough good things about the Sue Adler team! From start to finish they were nothing but the ultimate professionals. Sue has put together an amazing team of real estate professionals who each have specific expertise to guide you through the process. Sue was very knowledgeable about the local market and provided me with honest and up-to-date information regarding the sale of my home. Chris Arcadia, Transaction Manager, is second to none in terms of his ability, proficiency, and judgment. He was at my side every step of the way, guiding me with his sound advice and counsel. When things got stressful, he was the voice of reason. And when my house sold and I needed a rental property, Jennifer Miller was there to show me the way to my new home. I highly recommend the Sue Adler team!

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!

The Sue Adler Team has been terrific to work with. I think "go getter" is the best word to describe her buyer specialist. She and her team really want to match their buyers with the best home possible and they'll go to great lengths to make that happen. They found us by sending out letters for one of their buyers, which turned out to be the perfect fit. They then helped us find the perfect house (in only two weeks) and they made the buying process smooth and basically painless. I was impressed that their buyer specialist previewed properties before we saw them, and that she listened carefully to our feedback so she could make sure that we were seeing the best choices for our needs. She kept us focused too which was really helpful! We've had a great real estate buying experience. We highly recommend The Sue Adler Team.

Thank you so much for selling my house.  Sue, you really deliver your promise.  I now understand what it truly means to be No. 1 in New Jersey! Sue,  I enjoyed working with you.  You are sharp and decisive.  You have that acute ability to grab the crux of the issue and organize a team effort to tackle it.  It was a pleasure working with you. Chris has been a big help in the process.  He is extremely intelligent, resourceful, and meticulous.  He thinks ahead and plans well.  It is very difficult to imagine that we would be able to close it without Chris’s help.  California is like a world away from New Jersey.  Yet, Chris was always there when I needed him the most.  On January 2 the pipe burst in my house.  It was chaotic, and the situation looked grave.  Chris was the first to be there on the scene, stopping the damages, sharing information with me, communicating with the police department, and organizing the repairing and restoration effort.  All of these happened while New Jersey was having one snowstorm after another, a truly amazing and long-lasting winter.   Chris,  without your help I was thinking that this pipe burst was going to destroy my selling effort! Once the house was under contract there are a lot of details to take care of.  It was mind-bugling to me, to say the least.  However, Chris was there leading me to maneuver through this jungle every step of the way.  He helped me find plumbers, HVAC specialist, masonry, and electricians.  All of these processes happened while I was in California.  Chris, you made every detail work! Yours is a wonderful team, an amazing team indeed!  Everyone plays a crucial role, and every role was implemented well.  Yours deserves to be No. 1 in New Jersey.

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.

From the moment my wife and I met Sue Adler, we felt confident that we would be in good hands with Sue and her team. We signed and they did not disappoint. Every step of the way, they were there to guide us. Whenever we had questions, and we had many, they responded quickly and made the entire process run as smoothly as one could expect. Let me emphasize that this was a team effort and we found everyone on that team to be friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful regardless of the time of day or day of the week. Because it’s a team there are specialists. The specific attention to how to prepare the house before going on the market was invaluable. We knew where to spend our time and money so that there were no surprises at inspection time. I should also mention for those of you that are selling your house in the Glenwood Section of Short Hills, Sue Adler is an expert on this area. She has lived in the neighborhood for many years and has intimate knowledge of the housing stock. She has her finger on the pulse of the Glenwood market which becomes critical when you need to determine the selling price of your home and decide when to accept an offer and when it is best to turn one down. In short, we were very pleased with the end result.

Sue and her team were focused on every aspect of our record breaking sale in Maplewood, NJ. We were in the midst of an international move and after 14 years in our amazing house needed a team that could help with everything - We knew we wanted a very focused and professional marketing approach - the 'launch', photos, brochure, social media and approach to appointments and open houses was important to us. We also needed a lot of help on all the details - purging and clearing, administration, staging etc. Sue's team handled everything. Ultimately, after living in an amazing house which we renovated from top to bottom, and raised our large family and 2 dogs, in a neighborhood and community we loved, we were delighted that we had multiple offers and a record breaking sale. It was traumatic to make such a big move, but the support and guidance we got from the team helped us every step of the way.

Sue Adler and her team were impressive. We were excited to be selling our home and the process was seamless. We were confident in our choice in realtors and she came through with flying colors. The office team was exceptional as well. Her knowledge and stats in the market made us comfortable with all her decisions and guidance. The Sue Adler team is excellent and we would highly encourage you to use their talents.

Sue is a true professional. It was pleasure working with her and her outstanding team. It was the first phone call I received from team member #1 that encouraged me to proceed in meeting Sue. I listed my house on our first meeting. We understood each other and connected. Our house sold very quickly. Her assistant, Melissa is outstanding, she made so much happen, very efficient. And a special mention to Amy Margulies also who assisted in finding a new house for us. I have been recommending Sue to many people and will continue to. And if possible, next time around I will connect with Sue again.

Working with Sue Adler and her team was a fantastic experience all the way around. They are professional, detail oriented, and on top of everything. They actually handled things that I felt went way beyond their responsibilities. I highly recommend working with them.

We were relocating out of NJ and need to sell our home within a certain time frame. Laurie and the Sue Adler team delivered the best service we could have hoped for - they sold the house with a week, significantly over asking, and closed within 2 months, while we were remote for most of our closing. Laurie knew the market very well, she had an amazing contact who staged our home beautifully, the open house was flawless and we received multiple offers. She had an amazing team who helped us at every step of the way and kept on top of all the buyer's / relo company's requests. The entire process was seamless and painless due to Lauire's & team's efficiency and professionalism. Highly recommend!

Sue and her team helped us sell our house in Chatham. She got an offer within the first weekend, and when that fell through, she got us 3 more offers the following weekend! Her team has selling a home down to a science, and takes care of every step of the way, from photos, to pre inspection, to closing. If you want to sell your home quickly and for a good price, look no further.

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 all of the sales people who hosted our  open houses- were  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

Our sale of a higher-priced home in Chatham Borough was complicated by a number of factors that required particular skill around negotiation, timing, market knowledge and understanding of the motivations and needs of both ourselves as sellers and our bidders. Sue Adler was a steady, smart and reliable partner in this challenging process and we feel she and her team delivered the best possible outcome for us.

After having my house on the market for the better part of a year I knew in my heart that I needed a new agent. The second time around I was rigorous in making a selection and with several seemingly good candidates in hand, I went with my gut and chose to go with Sue's team. It was a terrific decision. Every single person on Sue's team, including Sue, is kind, honest, responsive, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable in his/her respective area of expertise. I cannot remember a time to this day that anyone on Sue's team doesn't respond to my texts within an hour, if not less. Sue knows the market and studies the market like nobody's business, she knows how to market your house, she is honest, she has integrity and she sold my house in a bidding war in one single weekend. Her transaction manager was PHENOMENAL when it came to negotiating the home inspection. She knows EVERYTHING and everyone to provide estimates and proper responses. Phil was incredible to me -- available to meet my buyers, the inspectors, the buying agent, anyone who was at my house at any time. And he was so kind to my kids. As a single working mom who commutes 5 days a week, often travels for work and juggles a hectic schedule all around the service Sue's team provided to me top to bottom ensured I was constantly looked after, my interests were represented, and that I sold my house quickly and smoothly -- with no hiccups. It isn't just about getting offers... it's about taking you through the whole process and ensuring you are well represented at every turn right up through the closing. So it comes as no surprise that I used Sue's team on the buying end as well, and I was equally cared for and looked after in every way. Peter was an absolute GEM. Patient. Responsive. He listened to me. He heard and understood what I was looking for. He took me to see so many houses weekend after weekend after weekend, often with my kids in tow and as sweet and kind to them as you can imagine. At the time my kids were 7 and 5 and not terribly patient in Mommy's long home searching process. Peter was lovely to them. Absolutely lovely. And though our months of searching I made many offers, got into many bidding wars, lost houses because of my nagging home sale contingency and we started over again and again and again. And though it all Peter stayed with me, guided me, consulted with me, worked through every deal patiently and thoroughly. Never getting frustrated or pushing me to concede unnecessarily. He genuinely had my best interests at heart. Determined as I was to find my new home. And ultimately, when a house I had lost out on in a bidding war came back on the market he caught it immediately. He sent me the notice and we made another offer.... this time accepted. He was attentive and present with me through the inspections and all the final negotiations, always with my best interests in mind to the very end. When I closed on each house -- my sale and my buy -- I heard cheers from both Sue and Peter, who were genuinely happy for me, GENUINELY(!), to start this new chapter in my life. Without question, I would highly recommend to everyone I know! And, um, I already have. :)

My husband and I could not have been happier with the Sue Adler team. From the minute Sue and Laurie walked into our home, we knew we were in good hands. Their advice on timing, pricing and the listing process were spot-on.  She brought us 13 offers and we had great ones to choose from. Sue was incredibly responsive and engaged throughout the negotiation process and her team was very helpful at navigating the inspection and closing process. Her team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and responsive. We would highly recommend her team and will certainly use her in the future when we return to the area!

Sue Adler and her team of professionals made the process of selling our home in Summit stress-free; which, speaks volumes if you are in today's hardening real estate market. She made a life-changing event sail through completion from the first meeting to closing. Suffice to say, selling a home is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions for many people, it certainly was for us. Having Sue and her team as our partners steer us through the "maze" helped us find a qualified buyer quickly and fast-track the entire process. Her team seemed to work round-the-clock, answering all of our many questions virtually immediately while providing advice on the myriad of options we had to be sure our home was priced competitively, staged beautifully, and sold in the hottest time of the market place. If you are contemplating who to engage as your realtor, I would tell you -- pause, call Sue Adler and you will be glad you did.

The Sue Adler Team can not be compared to other realtors! Sue is a powerhouse in every way. Her knowledge of the Summit market is one of her best assets. She timed our listing perfectly. We received multiple offers the first weekend! However, her team's work does not end here. Dawn, the team's transaction manager, was there with us through the rest of the selling process, from the home inspection to repairs to the final walk through. Peter, Sue's husband and our buyer specialist, also did an amazing job in helping us with our purchase. This could not have gone any more smoothly.  If we ever move again, we certainly would use Sue Adler and her team again.

We selected Sue Adler to manage the sale of our custom Summit NJ house after thoroughly interviewing a number of candidates. She proved to be extremely prepared and knowledgeable of the high end Summit market, but also very organized, enthusiastic, and eager to please us and, most importantly, to succeed. Sue has put together an impressive team of professionals who guided us through each step of the process and they were all immediately available whenever we had questions. Sue and her team always respected our needs and our home and Sue gave us constant updates on the market and potential buyers who had expressed interest in our house. She proved to be creative during negotiations and was open to discuss alternative strategies. A Real estate transaction can be a very stressful experience for many reasons. Selecting the right agent to navigate through the process can make a big difference. I strongly recommend Sue Adler and her team to anybody who is considering a real estate transaction in her area.

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.

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.

We listed our house in the Poet Section of Short Hills with Sue Adler and she sold it the first weekend.  Sue has a team of experts for photography, floor plan, brochure writing,  online marketing, and inspection negotiations, who are all amazing. Dawn is the inspection negotiation expert and was our lifeline during this process. She is extremely knowledgeable and manages everything from negotiating, recommending contractors and scheduling town inspections. This is a critical stage during the house selling process and you want someone like her by your side. I would highly recommend Sue and her team- they are well respected, highly knowledgeable, and have the experience you need when you are selling a home.

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

Sue's team was exceptional from start to finish. At each step along the way, we had an expert to move the process along in a professional and timely manner. Sue's team communicates well with each other and offers the utmost in customer service. Sue was always available to us whenever we had a question or concern. We would highly recommend the Sue Adler team.

Sue, We thank you for your excellent service and results in selling our home! You exceeded our highest expectations by a very wide margin. The selling process required much more than we could have expected. However, your teamwork made the difference, and we are extremely pleased with the results. We feel that the Sanders will be quite happy with their purchase and will enjoy the Glenwood neighborhood. We want each of you to enjoy three of our favorite wines which we are delivering to your Short Hills office: Thank you again.

Sue and her team are hands-down the most professional and responsive team we could have working for us when we sold our house. Sue is a marketing genius--she attends to every detail and has mastered the digital forms of communication that many buyers rely on. Photos were beautiful, brochure was spectacular and the negotiations were handled most effectively. We felt like we hired the best!

Our home sold so quickly we had no time to be anxious. The "team" is dynamic, professional and most important of all really nice people. No pretense, no surprises just great support and great results.Would we recommend Sue Adler to you? Positively YES!

The word team is often meaningless. Sue and her colleagues make team meaningful for their clients. Their expertise and coordination capabilities were thoughtful, careful, respectful and mindful. They think about what they do - how unique. Their attention to detail in helping me think about what I would do to prepare the house was outstanding. As I was travelling out of country, they made the extra effort to keep things on track by their sensitivity to time zones and my business schedule. This is their job but also their passion - getting it right for all parties.

I would highly recommend Scott Shuman of the Sue Adler team. He is extremely knowledgeable with regard to the current real estate market and he used his expertise to secure top dollar for me during the sale of my condo in Chatham. He went above and beyond the call of duty to attend to every aspect of the sale of my condo. He was responsive to my needs as the seller and responded to any and all of my numerous questions in a timely as well as professional manner which made selling my condo from 1,200 miles a way a breeze. Thank you Scott, for making the sale of my condo an absolutely seamless transaction.

We were delighted with the professionalism demonstrated by Sue Adler and her team headed by Ms. Dawn Preziosis. They were there for us at each stage from preparing to sell our home to dealing with the closing process several months after the sale. During that period of time, they managed the various problems of preparing the house for us after we had already moved to another state. We highly recommend this team. They helped to make a stressful time in our lives into a manageable experience.

Sue is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent. Her greatest strength was in her pricing strategy when selling our Maplewood home. It's critical in this market to price a home correctly so there's interest from potential buyers and the listing doesn't get stale. We followed Sue's guidance and were not disappointed. She brought us multiple offers in this buyer's market. It's a tricky market right now and if you want to sell your home quickly you need to rely on good advice from an accomplished agent. Sue is definitely someone I would trust to sell my home again.

Deciding to sell our home in Summit was something that my husband and I thought about briefly.  We contacted Sue Adler to discuss it, to see who was out there as potential buyers, and what the Summit luxury home market was dictating for a home as large and well built as ours. Within a week, Sue found a buyer, connected him with us and our house was sold.  It was really that easy, or at least it seemed that way.  Sue went to work immediately for us.  She called potential buyers, met them to discuss our home and really worked to find us solid buyer. Her team, which includes Dawn Preziosi, was essential when it came to the details of selling a home, going through an inspection, all the way down to the details of finding the workers to correct any small problems that were found in our inspection.  Dawn worked side by side with electricians and construction workers to ensure that every detail was corrected and up to inspection standards. We have never experienced the sale of any of our homes before, and were really ignorant to the process.  There is so much, so many small details and Sue and Dawn, and all of their team members, really made this a smooth process for us.  They took care of every detail with such attention and focus. I recommend this group of individuals so highly, and truly consider them all friends after having gone through this process with them.

Life's journey faces us with many challenges like selling or buying a home. With such a personal and sometimes traumatic event as this, you surely want to be certain of making the right choice in your partner/real estate agent. Well we did just that about a year ago when both my husband and I decided to sell our 4 year old home in the heart of Short Hills NJ. It was not the first time we were doing this so we knew how important our decision was in choosing the right realtor. Not only was Sue Adler the right real estate agent, she became our trusted friend giving of her very best from start to finish. Sue's professionalism was astounding as is her fabulous website. You can feel very comfortable and proud should you choose to make Sue Adler your realtor. You will have the privilege of experiencing a true expert.

Sue helped me sell my Livingston home in a truly poor market. Her creativity and willingness to find options and alternatives and really market the house was amazing. You can't beat her internet marketing savvy which keeps buyers as well as sellers tuned in to where the market is. I highly recommend using Sue for selling your house. 

Dear Sue, Thank you so much for all of your help during our move. Everything worked out as predicted with the sale of our house in Millburn and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. How did you get so much interest during a holiday season? We'll never know but you are a marketing genius. As for the purchase of our new home in South Orange, thanks for your hard work and guidance. Without you, the deal would have fallen through but everything came together in the end. It is refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their work and adds significant value to the relationship. You performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you again, Sue!

"It is easy to write an endorsement letter for Sue Adler. We were very satisfied clients with Sue as a our realtor on many levels. First and on the most significant level, the successful marketing and sale of our house in a timely manner,(after having been unsuccessful with our former realtor). It is a very confusing and difficult housing market especially for the seller today. Sue immediately showed leadership and guidance by walking through our house with us and making constructive comments about how to "depersonalize" our home, making it more appealing to a wider range of buyers. She not only made suggestions but assisted us by contacting an experienced crew of craftsmen and stagers that created a new and beautiful look for our house.

From the very first meeting, we were impressed with Sue Adler's professionalism. She was very familiar with the Short Hills real estate market, but perhaps even more important, she understood how critical marketing is to the quick and profitable sale of a house. She had a definite, specific plan for how she was going to get the maximum exposure for our house, in contrast to other agents we spoke to who seemed to assume that a house in Short Hills would simply sell itself. She understood the power of the internet in the modern real estate market, and we certainly benefitted from her aggressive use of email and the internet in getting the word out to buyers and other agents. Sue also suggested some updates and improvements, including using a staging service, which turned our plain vanilla house into a "wow" house. A question that my husband and I really struggled with was what the list price of our house should be, but Sue came through on that as well. After reviewing with us her take on the market at the time, she had all the other agents in her office come through and give us their independent opinions. Because we had lots of information, we really trusted her when she advised us about the list price. Her approach worked beautifully, and by the Monday after our first and only Open House, we had five offers on the table. Sue has worked tirelessly for us throughout the process, making sure we always knew what was going on and negotiating on our behalf with vigor. We recommend her services without hesitation.

"I hired Sue Adler to sell our house after we failed to sell it ourselves (for sale by owner). She and her team gave us tremendous support, helping us stage it, price it perfectly (we had a bidding war and the price went over asking), deal with the many issues during attorney review and the negotiation process, and finally, facilitating a smooth and on-time closing. We hired her again when we bought our next house. Again her team came through with flying colors. I knew that whatever happened, she had our best interests at heart. I recommend Sue with no reservations!"

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!!

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.

The Sue Adler Team is just that - a team! We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sue from start to finish on the sale of our home. We valued her expertise and counsel and were blown away by the commitment and go-the-extra-mile attitude of her Transaction Success Manager, Chris Arcadia. We would recommend the Sue Adler Team to anyone without hesitation!

Buying and selling a home are one of the most life-altering, meticulous, and personal decisions one makes in their lifetime. Having the right team makes all the difference in the process.  The Sue Adler Team is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, thorough and kind. No amount of questions is ever too much for them to handle. Most of the time, they answered them before we even ask. They have helped us so much in the process of getting the home we wanted and has gone above and beyond what was expected of a realtor. Having Sue's team's well-rounded knowledge and gentle guidance gave us confidence every step of the way. I couldn't imagine going through this with anyone else by our side.

Sue Adler's team is a professional, efficient, focused group with dedicated staff, each of whom perform a specific function. They helped us sell our home in 3 weeks. As our broker, Sue 'interviewed' us, explained market factors at play and advised us on a listing price that would result in a quick sale. Chris was our project manager and was a single go-to person to execute on the preparation and sale. Sue introduced us to Leah, who staged our home so beautifully that we wondered if we should continue to live there. They also recommended reliable contractors who could address issues and repairs, both big and small. Our home went on the market during a major snowstorm. A lot of other similar homes went on the market the next week. Sue guided us on aggressively changing our list price and we got 3 offers the next week and closed in 4 weeks. Through the entire process, Sue's team were in constant communication using Slack and other technologies.

We highly recommend Sue and her team!  When we met first Sue, she displayed the utmost professionalism.  We selected her to sell our home because she was the first agent that we met that we felt confident would do the job right. She consistently demonstrated that she is committed to her clients.  She constantly makes herself available and it is clear that she ENJOYS what she does.  She keeps her clients in mind every step of the way and she made the sale of our home a seamless transaction. Her team successfully sold our home before it ever hit the market to a relocation buyer and organized all the details regarding closing, inspections, and other details effortlessly. She has a support team that is available and can help during each step of the process as well. It was a pleasure to work with Sue and we definitely recommend her to all potential clients, and are even still calling her for real estate advice in Nashville!

We had a great experience working with Sue Adler and her entire team on the sale of our home in Short Hills. They are honest, forthright, hardworking, knowledgeable and always available to talk - almost any time of day! They definitely help take the stress out of selling a home. Sue and her team are so wonderful that you can't help but become friends through the process. We highly recommend the Sue Adler team!

We were very satisfied with Laurie and the Sue Adler team. They were very professional, thorough and responsive. Although, we are slightly disappointed with the ultimate sale price, I learned a long time ago that the market is efficient and will price assets, including houses, rationally. We would recommend Laurie and the team without hesitation.

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.

The Sue Adler Team was wonderful to work with. We had a few changes along the way and together we were able to be adaptable and flexible and arrange a sale to a buyer who loved the home as much as we had. The transaction specialists were helpful, amazing, honest, hard working and simply seamless which made the closing easy.

"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!"

Sue and her team were terrific. Very professional and very in tune w today's marketing requirements to get my house sold. She would be my number one recommendation for anyone buying or selling a home in this market. 

From the moment we decided to go with Sue Adler to sell our house, she and her team were there every step of the way providing support for every aspect of the process – from preparing the house for market to closing. Sue’s knowledge of the market, and her team’s expertise, made the selling of our home and the buying of our new home go way more smoothly than we ever could have imagined. We wholeheartedly recommend Sue Adler and her team. In fact, we already have.

You certainly have your choice of realtors when selling/buying a house. However, when navigating such a stressful process, a knowledgeable, professional team such as Sue's is essential. Sue's expertise and bubbly personality, along with the professionalism of the team ensured a smooth sale. Melissa, one of the team members was especially supportive, responsive, and also helped to make the process manageable. We would definitely recommend Sue and her team.

I would highly recommend the Sue Adler Team to anyone considering selling a home in Short Hills. Sue and her team know the market very well and Every member of the team was caring, prompt and thorough in addressing my concerns and made me feel very comfortable that I understood the process and their strategy for addressing the presentation and pricing of my home. guided me very professionally every step of the way. My home sold very quickly with multiple offers and I was very pleased with the result.

This spring, the Sue Adler Team helped us both sell a house and buy a house. Although it’s stressful to do both at the same time, Sue’s team made the process as smooth as possible. Sue knows the market well and advised us on the right price to list our house. Then her team members each have their own expertise to lend to the process from marketing materials to a successful open house. Our house sold in one weekend! But the benefit of the team didn’t end there. There are team members that helped through the entire inspection process until closing. They are all quick to respond, friendly and true advocates. The buying side of her team is equally impressive. Lisa Blue was our buying agent and really paid attention to what we were looking for in a house and a community. She is not only professional, but caring. We found the perfect house and location! It seemed impossible to both sell and buy in time for the school year (our house went on the market in May), but we had time to spare. This is thanks to the Sue Adler team!

Sue and her team sold our home in the Glenwood Section of Short Hills in record time for a record price that exceeded our expectations. They have the sale process down to a science with specialists handling various sections of the listing, negotiation, punchlist and closing processes. Sue gave advice on preparing the house for sale and how to improve the value, which all turned out to be exactly spot on. You can't pick a better team to list your home!

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.

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.

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.

Sue and her team are simply outstanding. Sue knows the Millburn/Short Hills market well, and knows how to structure a sale process and transaction for the benefit of the both the seller and the buyer. From initial consultation on the listing through the close of a deal, she is focused, professional and efficient. Most importantly, there are no gaps in execution or coverage at all - members of her team specialize in bringing your house to listing phase, with fantastic copy and stunning photos, then through a flawless open house process. Then the magic goes even further when Sue helps guide the contract process - from discussing terms to accepting the right offer.  ( Did I mention she brought us several offers after the first weekend? ) Her amazing transaction execution team led by Dawn steps in and guides the owner through any and all issues during the inspection and contract process. Not only does Sue get your deal done quickly and efficiently, and at the right price, she also does it without you ever doubting for a minute the team's ability to bring it to an effective close. Every once in a long while you meet someone that just astounds you with how good they are at what they do. Sue is that person, and the fantastic team she has assembled just makes that effect exponentially greater.

After an extensive and unsuccessful listing with another agency, we hired Sue to sell our Summit property. She showed the property during the first week of the listing and obtained an agreement of sale. Sue's team expertly managed not only the basic sale process but also managed surprising town-related permit issues, and last minute buyer concerns with alacrity, calmness, and humor. In the hands of a lessor team I am certain that our home sale would have fallen through. It's no wonder that Sue and her team are #1 in NJ for 11 years in a row. Thanks Sue and Dawn!

I hired Sue Adler as our realtor (we were the seller) based on her reputation around town. what I didn't know (or frankly understand well) was that not only would i get her but her "team". I had no real concept of what that approach was all about, but now that I've seen it in action I'd highly recommend it to anyone. its seems sort of the realtor concept on steroids! Sue basically has an expert on all aspects of selling houses working with her. Whatever questions I had (electrical, structural, legal etc) she has someone that handles it immediately. No waiting for her to consult an outside expert. It's the no waiting aspect that i really liked. When I had a question, I wanted a quick answer and got it!! She had promised at our first meeting that calls would be answered within 15 minutes. Frankly I didn't really believe that speil but it proved absolutely correct throughout the entire process. Sue herself knows her business and her market extremely well. I needed a good marketer but one that was not obnoxious. Sue brought me several offers after the first weekend and and exceeded all my expectations in every aspect. I would recommend her and her "team of experts" approach to anyone looking to sell (or buy) in her markets.

We had a great experience with Sue Adler and her team. When my husband and I first thought about selling our home in the Glenwood Section of Short Hills, we contacted Sue because of her reputation in the community. She came over to meet with us to discuss the home-selling process. We were ambivalent about selling as we enjoyed living in our house and neighborhood. Sue respected our hesitancy and did not pressure us to sell. When we decided to sell a year later, we reached out to her and Sue and her team expertly helped us every step of the way - from providing staging advice to determining pricing to developing promotional materials, etc. The team approach worked well: all the folks we worked with on the team were knowledgeable and professional, and if we wanted to talk with Sue, she was just an email or phone call or away. It could not have worked out better for us so we are grateful.

Sue, Thank you again. We were very impressed by your deep knowledge of the real estate market in Short Hills, your direction on how to position and price our house for sale to create a ton of interest, and the support of an always available team of specialists that worked together to make our house sale very successful. After the first weekend, you brought us multiple offers and we were able to choose the best price and terms. Expertise in any field is a beautiful sight to behold, and too infrequent. So thanks to the Adler team for knocking it out of the park for the Younger family! We are grateful for your management of the house sale and happy to share our experiences in any marketing you do. All the best,

We had the pleasure of working with Sue Adler and her team to buy ( Chatham) and sell ( Glenwood Section, Short Hills). Peter Jacoby was very honest, reliable, helpful and knowledgeable during the buying process. He went above and beyond to help us get estimates on repairs for our future home and he always gave great advice. Sue Adler put our home on the market and sold it the first week of listing. Her Transaction Team was amazing from contract til closing. Their expertise on repair negotiations is unmatched. We highly recommend Sue Adler Team.

I don't normally give reviews, as while most people I work with do a good job, it is no more than they should be doing. Sue and her team are the exception to my rule. We had bought another home out of state and were moving to it prior to listing our NJ one, and so it could have been a nightmare of a process as I am a control freak and wouldn't be able to see what was going on or get involved. From DAY ONE, the Adler team never let me down. From marketing to open house, to feedback follow-ups and more importantly keeping me updated with HONEST information, apart from the 750 miles between us I felt as though I was there. Sue got 3 offers and perfectly negotiated the deal. Dawn was the project manager and while there truly were minimal issues that the buyers wanted attended to, it was an absolute relief when Dawn told me that she would handle it all. We have bought and sold several times and never had the level of care or service that was being shown by Sue and Dawn. Dawn also handled the required town inspections, letting me know when they were taking place and once they were done. I think I can sum up Sue Adler and her wonderful team simply by saying that they are honest professionals. They know what they are doing and try and take the stress out of the process, they are honest with all information (it may not be exactly what you want to hear but it's the truth) and they do what they say they will do. Sue doesn't sell homes in NC so I doubt we will ever work with her again, but I can guarantee you that if we ever were to look to buy a house in NJ again we would certainly work with Sue and we have zero reservations about recommending her to our friends and anyone else who will listen to us! If you've read this testimonial and haven't read any others, please read them, you will find a constant theme running through them. Happy Sellers who found the same great things about the Adler team that we did. List with Sue, she will do her best for you the way she and her team did for us.

Simply put, Sue is as good as it gets. She specializes in sell side transactions and did EXACTLY what she said she would in selling our home. Not only did she have a command of the quantitative market dynamics but she also understands the "art" in deal making. We trusted her judgment from start to finish and were very pleased with the outcome. She is smart, trustworthy and hard working. I have nothing but the highest praise for Sue and would recommend her without question.

We highly, highly recommend Sue Adler and her amazing team for any house sale or purchase! From start to finish on both the sale of our home and the purchase of our dream house, Sue was attentive and completly dedicated to our needs and our family. Not only does Sue truly have a great handle on pricing v value, customer likes v dislikes, but she and her team are available 24/7 and are staunch advocate's of their client's position, which is exactly what we required on the purchase leg of our two transactions. We needed to sell our house very quickly in a relatively slow period in the 2013 housing cycle in order to purchase a house we had long sought. Sue's strategy was to price the house aggressively to sell, in the hope we received many bids. Strategy worked out perfectly and she sold the house for much more than the asking price in only 4 days! The second transaction, namely our house purchase was hugely complicated - the house is very old (consequently it has many issues) and the sellers realtor was not altogether transparent. Dawn Preziosi has an excellent eye and identified many problems with the house which would have gone un-noticed. Dawn was extremely thorough in making sure all work that needed to get done by the seller in a tight time frame, was performed satisfactorily. Without the tireless efforts of Dawn and Sue, we are truly confident that we would still be looking for a home to live in today. Their support has been like no other and we are so grateful to them for all that they did for us. This team is amazing and not only are they the best at what they do, they genuinely care for their clients and their families.

Dear Sue, We would like to thank you and your team for all your hard work with the house closing. We are so happy that we found your contact a year ago when we were looking for our first house in Millburn NJ. We did find our dream home in Millburn, and we welcomed home our daughter from the hospital in this house, however from circumstances of job relocation we had to leave, but at the end of the day because of all of you we were able to sell the house with no glitches and stress, you all made it happen! We would like to especially give a special thanks to Dawn and Kaitlin, for taking care of the inspection, close and all the house details on behalf of us. We will definitely tell our family and friends to contact the Sue Adler Team if they want to buy or sell a house. Good Luck to All.

When your sellers trust your advice, magic can happen....Meet the Matsamotos of Chatham NJ as they discuss their home selling experience with the Sue Adler Team.  If you are thinking of selling your home, and think you need to leave room to negotiate, watch this video till the end. A special thanks to Leah Gomberg of www.Sweetlifebydesign.com for her great job staging. See before and after pictures below.

BEFORE and AFTER

Sue Adler and her team are true real estate professionals. I was impressed with their use of the latest technology to keep my beautiful custom home in Chatham  in the spotlight until it was sold. Sue is one of the top producers at Keller Williams in the entire country and now I know why.

I strongly recommend Sue Adler as a buying and listing agent in the Millburn/Short Hills area. In sum, she has extensive knowledge of the relevant housing market, and more importantly, she works diligently to assure the best results for her client(s) - even when its not in her own best interest. Drawing on her extensive experience, Sue provided us with excellent insight on how to best have our offer accepted while avoiding a bidding war on our new house in the Glenwood Section, which clearly had other interested purchasers. Following Sue's advice, our offer was accepted and the contract was signed. However, this only started the hard work by Sue and her staff. In the following weeks, Sue and her staff continued to assist us with all work needed to close, as well as guide us through some additional work we wanted to do on our new home after closing. Now its December, and we had to sell our current house in Millburn (South Mountain). Timing was critical as we wanted simultaneous closings. Through Sue's marketing advice and strategy, we were able to sell our home after only 3 days on the market. For both buying and selling, Sue’s advice, services, expertise and attention to detail went above and beyond what we expected from a real estate agent. She was always personally available to assist us, guide us, or simply answer questions. This is clearly more than just a profession for Sue. Having Sue on our side made the sale of one home and the simultaneous purchase of a new home a pleasure.

"Sue is, in one word, the best. We had our house in Chatham on the market for six months with another realtor without any offers. We re-signed with Sue and after a few suggestions and on-point marketing she was able to bring us 3 offers almost immediately. She worked incredibly hard for us and was always straightforward and honest, offering up solid advice. If I am ever in the market to buy/sell a house again, I would absolutely work with Sue and her team."

If you were going to sell your house, you'd have to come up with reasons why you wouldn't ask Sue to take on the challenge. She’s that good. Okay, so there are several caveats. First, Sue and I have been friends and colleagues long before she helped me sell my house in MIllburn. Second, some of this review is not just Sue herself, but her team, especially Dawn Preziosi, her transactions manager. Third, I'm likely not your typical consumer since I work in the industry and know too much. Having said that, if you were going to sell your house in one of Sue's markets, you'd have to come up with reasons why you wouldn't ask her to take on the challenge. You should start with, "Is there any reason why I shouldn't use Sue?"  She's that good. Local knowledge -- there may be other agents who have a better pulse on what is going on with the market at any given time. I just don't know them. She and her team handle so many listings, handle so many buyers, and are doing so many deals that they have a really, really good grasp of what's going on, what buyers are thinking, what features are important, and which are not. She knows the towns, the neighborhoods, the schools, what it's like to live there... pretty impressive for a Philly native. One piece of advice: if you're going to list with Sue, just listen to her advice on pricing. You might think your house is one-in-a-million exception, but she has a far better grasp on the market than you do. You hire her for that knowledge and insight, so don't argue with her. Process expertise -- between her and Dawn, possibility the best duo you want on your side. Ask Sue sometime about "bulletproofing the transaction" -- the woman knows her stuff as it comes to what has to be done to get a deal done, what the steps are, and what creates demand. And Dawn may be the best "project manager" for a home sale you could find. She's totally on top of every single step. Responsiveness -- maybe it's because we're friends, but I doubt it. Keeping in mind that she is busy pretty much all the time, speaks nationally (internationally even) at huge major conferences, and so on, Sue is pretty much always available. And Dawn even more so. I recommend email and text messages, actually, rather than phone calls because they're usually running around doing something, but they get back to you in a hurry. Doing the sale from Texas, there were some parts of the transaction where communication could have gotten fouled up; they were on top of the issues and smoothed everything out. Negotiation skills -- since I wasn't on the phone listening to Sue negotiate, I have no way of judging this. But consider the result: I did not have to sell. We had great tenants in the place already. We would have been happy to just hold on to it as an investment property. But I got the price and terms I wanted, so I did. If results are an indication of negotiation skills, then you got nothing to worry about. The Extras --  Let's just say that Sue and Dawn went way, way, way above and beyond what you'd expect from a real estate agent. Two examples come to mind. First, we had moved away and the house was vacant, when we got hit with a NJ snowstorm. We didn't actually know who to call to arrange for the driveway and sidewalk to be shoveled so the house can be shown. Well, Sue got her husband (I believe) to actually take a shovel out to our house and have it shoveled. Not just once, but twice. Might have been three snowstorms, actually. Would your agent do that for you?  Second, the cleaners we had hired did not do the greatest job in the kitchen; we got a call from Dawn that the oven was not cleaned as well as it should, and the appliances were not exactly sparkling. Well, Ms. Preziosi went down there herself, personally, with scrubbing brushes in hand, and spent an hour on a Saturday morning cleaning our frikkin' oven by hand so the house was ready to be shown. That's... well, you tell me if your agent would do THAT for you. So, like I said, if you're going to sell in Millburn, Short Hills, or any of her other markets... you should come up with a good reason why you wouldn't want to use Sue and her team.

"I became a fan of Sue Adler when I first met her about 4 years ago in one of the many open houses I like to go into (I like to look at houses even if I am not in the market for one kind of a crazy hobby of mine). After I met Sue I knew that if I were ever in the market to either sell or buy she would undoubtedly be the person I would choose to work with. For four years, she has kept me updated about homes and I have visited many (if not all) of her open houses in the Millburn/Short Hills area. What has always impressed me about Sue is her ability to understand the market and really grasp the pros and cons of each individual property in order to market and price it effectively. In addition, Sue has a tremendous ability to understand her sellers? and buyers? likes and dislikes and she knows exactly what they are looking for. For example, she immediately got a sense of my taste and preferences and I have never, ever been shown a property by Sue that I didn't like. Sue has never hesitated to take time out of her hectic schedule to show me a property (even when she probably knew that we were not going to move at that time). Four years later we finally decided to sell our home of 8 years in South Orange. Naturally, we called Sue, she came in and worked her magic did I mention her amazing marketing skills and her amazing photographer and team. Sue knew how to price my house in order to generate interest. As soon as I gave her the go, she did everything needed to be done and pictures of my house went up in her amazing website. We had a broker's open house on a Thursday, the general open house on Sunday and by Tuesday the house was SOLD, and guess what -- in this market we had 10 offers and a bidding war. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! I think that without Sue's guidance and knowledge of the market, our house would probably still have a For Sale sign outside. Now, one more thing, equally important as Sue's incredible business skills is the fact that Sue is a pleasure to deal with. She was a tower of strength for us in an incredibly stressful situation. Our choice to move and sell the only home that we have known was not an easy one but having Sue meant that we not only had the best broker working for us but we had a supportive friend who was looking out for our best interests. So my advice to anyone out there looking to either sell or buy call Sue. I promise you will not regret it. , South Orange & Short Hills NJ
