Client Reviews

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!

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.

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.

It was a pleasure working with your team and I personally enjoyed getting to know you. I admire you and I could not have been happier with my decision to have you take care of selling my house. Thanks for a job well done and for your kindness. I was very grateful for everyone’s assistance on this transaction.

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 met Amy at an open house for the home that we ultimately ended up purchasing. Having lived in Summit, NJ where our current house was, she understood the market dynamics in Short Hills. She kindly followed up with us over the next couple of months keeping us posted on this listing as well as other listings in which we may have been interested. After a price reduction, a lost multiple offer situation on this listing, we were ultimately able to come to terms with the sellers and sell our home within a matter of weeks. Throughout, Amy was a stabilizing force in the transaction and a huge reason why we are in our new home today.

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

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.

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.

Working with Laurie and her team were absolutely wonderful. They were very knowledgeable very responsive, communicated all the time and kept me posted on all actions that I needed to do, as well as what was happening with our sale of our home. I would highly recommend using Laurie and her team and will do so again. You won't be disappointed!!!

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

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!

Her team is a level above anything we ever experienced. Just not in the same league in terms of process, professionalism and manpower - For every piece of the process we got a pro that is focused on that piece alone in addition to Laurie which was there for us the whole way through. Her potential client reach and resources can't be matched (we tried with other agents before) and resulted in a quick sale for us without the need to ever reduce price or having to be on the market for long time. After working with Laurie and her team we realized how much a head of the game you are when you work with the right person. I highly recommend working with her and the team there and encourage anybody to do their homework so they can realize the huge advantage in doing so.

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.

Laurie Silver-Corsello impressed us from the moment she walked into our home. Thoroughly knowledgeable, eminently prepared and pleasantly dynamic – these attributes served us so well as our house was listed, marketed, shown and sold. What we could not have known and appreciated from that first meeting, however, was the personal attention and guidance that she would continue to provide -- and always with the same level of honesty and dedication. We learned that time and time again through her work with us. Whatever Laurie said, she delivered. She was clear-headed and logical when we needed her to be and stepped up with solutions whenever situations developed. Working with her Sue Adler team of Melissa Bulwith, Neil Steiger and Peter Jacoby continued the level of professionalism that Laurie had introduced to us. In short, the experience of selling our home with Laurie Silver-Corsello was, in one word, “Sterling.”

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!

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.

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.

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.

"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

"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.

"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!"

"The quality of service we received from Sue was very good. I would tell a potential client who was thinking of selling their home that Sue is smart, internet savvy and very thorough. Sue, I continue to tell everyone that we were very pleased with your services."

Sue Adler did a terific job in selling our house in Short Hills, New Jersey. After an introductory meeting, my wife and I decided that Sue was the perfect real estate agent to sell our house in a slow real estate market. Sue made several suggestions that we believe led to our receiving mulltiple contracts on our house after only five days on the market with all contracts submitted for more than our asking price.

"I first heard of Sue Adler when I found her website. I wasn't actually in the market to buy or sell at the time, but her website was the only place that I could find real data on our local housing market. She also seemed to have the most interesting listings for houses in the area, which was another reason why I found myself visiting her website occasionally. In October 2006, we decided to relocate to the Philadelphia area. The first and only agent that I called to list my house was Sue Adler. We called the number on her website and expected to hear back in a day or so. I think it took her 45 seconds or so to call us back. She came over the next day, advised us on what to do to get the house ready by Thanksgiving (recommending stagers and contractors that also showed up, returned our calls and bumped other jobs to help us get ready). She also guided us (and frankly, my new employer's relocation counselor) through the process of putting the house on the market and gave us frank advice on selling our house in a down market. Prior to listing our house, our relocation counselor sought an independent assessment of the value of our house from an additional realtor. When that estimate suggested that we should list our house almost three hundred thousand dollars less than Sue suggested, Sue fought to price the house at what she thought was right, and went to great pains to demonstrate to the relocation company why our house was more valuable then the independent analysis showed. She also gave us novel marketing advice with respect to our home's property taxes, which would definitely have been an issue otherwise. In the end, in a down market, at perhaps worst time to sell a house (between Thanksgiving and Christmas), Sue listed our house at what her analysis showed was the right price to sell. In a time when it was relatively unheard of, we entertained multiple offers and accepted one that was over $20,000 more than our listing price. I would unhesitatingly recommend Sue to anyone looking to sell their house in the area. She knows the market. She has the data. And she'll answer her phone when you call.”

In this very complex world it is rare to find a team of professionals with the caliber of talent and knowledge that you and your staff offer. Andi and I consider ourselves fortunate to have met you. You understood our needs and wants from the beginning. Your knowledge of real estate and the most unique market within this community gave us an edge over the competition. You sold our home in a matter of days -- for more than we were asking -- and helped us to find our new home and buy it for less than the seller was asking. After the purchase you followed up with the builder and made sure they honored their promises. I marvel at your tenacity to get things resolved. Your charm and professionalism are highly valued and greatly appreciated."

"WOW!!! What can I say? Thank you... Thank you... Thank you!!!! Starting with this most perfect house in the world which you guys miraculously seemed to will for us.... and then ending with the sale of my little home in less time than I thought possible! Both transactions were smooth... efficient.... and every glitch seemed to work out in my favor!!!! I am so grateful for all your patience and hard work. But probably the best part of dealing with you guys was knowing that everything was above board... I have had many dealings with the real estate "profession". In fact was even an agent for a time... Finding a team with the high morals and ethics that you have is RARE! I wouldn't work with anyone else and intend to recommend you to any and all persons even mentioning selling or buying. Thanks again... you guys are GREAT!!!!"

It will not be possible for me to put words on paper to describe the thanks I owe you and your team for all the guidance and service you have provided to both John and me with regard to the multiple sale and purchase of homes this past year. I have mentioned to you several times that my parents are very envious of the fact that I found such a savvy realtor to sell our properties. They are in the process of moving to Arizona and have not been so fortunate to find a team as attentive as the one you have created! I think your selection of partners is one of the many secrets of your success. Another is your ability to hold a sense of humor during what most know to be a fairly stressful experience--you make me laugh--a nice touch when selling and buying homes under pressure. Yuck! Your commitment and professionalism towards your customers and colleagues is beyond evident. The courtesy and respect your group shows to other agents is also admirable. I could go on and on . . .

I initially used an agent at a large 'corporate' company to list our house & soon discovered this was a mistake as trust was quickly lost. Once I changed realtors to Sue Adler & her team, our trust was restored, the selling of our home was efficient, well organized and Sue made all of the process easy. I felt she was always available to answer our questions or calm our fears. Most important I felt they were looking out for our best interest every step of the way. If I ever had to buy or sell property again, there would be no doubt -- I would call Sue.

"You were everything I hoped for in a Listing Agent. You advertised our home well, followed up on all leads and kept us well informed. Throughout this stressful process, you were always a delight to work with. I would wholeheartedly recommend you to any of our friends."
