" Bought a Single-Family home in 2026 in Hazlet, NJ. Finding Diane was truly a blessing after a long search for the right home and the right realtor. From the moment we met her, we knew she was calm, knowledgeable, supportive, and realistic. She was always available to show us properties whenever something promising came on the market. Diane was honest throughout the entire process and never pressured us into making a purchase that wasn't right for us. She genuinely cared about helping us find a home we would be happy with and always had our best interests in mind. Diane is an outstanding realtor and person, and we are grateful to now consider her a lifelong friend. "

" Look no further for your RE needs than Taylor. She went above and beyond in every point of the process to make sure we never settled and obtained our dream home. Communicative, efficient, and knowledgeable are all words I would use to describe Taylor. As first time home buyers in a very difficult market, it was overwhelming trying to find the right home for us. Taylor was patient and when the time came, helped execute the deal that put is in the home of our dreams. I cannot recommend her enough "

" My husband and I began our home search in June and we were lucky to have worked with Kate as our realtor. She is knowledgeable about the towns/neighborhoods and provides excellent insight. She is easy to communicate with (at all hours of the day), honest, and if she didn’t know something she would find the answer. We would 100% recommend her to any of our friends and family. Great experience all around! "

This was a new experience for us and she guided us through each step of the process and answered all of our many questions. Carrie created our rental property listing with high-quality photos and descriptions, and promoted the listing on various platforms to reach a wide pool of potential renters. She handled all tasks including, listing the property, showing it, and managing the lease agreement. Carrie possesses in-depth knowledge of the local market and helped us get a competitive rental rate. She is an extremely approachable, responsive, and patient realtor.

" Working with Irene was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. She is everything you would hope for in a realtor patient, kind, eloquent, and genuinely a people person who makes you feel supported every step of the way. From the beginning, we had a clear vision of wanting a move-in ready home. However, as the things evolved, we struggled to find something that checked all of our boxes. Through it all, Irene never gave up on us. Her diligence, optimism, and commitment kept us going even when we felt we would never find our home. Thanks to her guidance, we found a home with great bones and feel incredibly excited about. When we walked through the doors it immediately felt like home. I could envision how we can make modifications to make our dream home come to life. We’re looking forward to making it our own and building our future there, and we truly couldn’t have gotten to this point without Irene’s support and expertise. On closing day, we had some last min negotiations occur and as first time home owners we felt supported by Irene who advocated for our best interests. She’s solution oriented, and presented sound options for us to feel confident that our closing terms protected us. Irene is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always had our best interests at heart. Irene came highly recommended to us by a friend, and now we completely understand why. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We are so grateful for everything she’s done for us! Thanks Irene, we are so appreciative and could not have done this without out you! "

- Lorraine Kearney (CEO)

" It was a pleasure to work with Will! He made the home buying process smooth and easy. Will was always available to squeeze in last minute showings (and I looked at a lot of houses) until we finally found the perfect home for me! He answered all of my questions and explained each step of the process. I would recommend Will to anyone looking to buy or sell a home especially if you are a first home buyer like I was! "

- Kate Foley

" We had a truly amazing experience working with our realtor! From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed, even as we spent a long time searching for the perfect home. She understood what we were looking for and guided us through countless listings until we found the one that felt just right. One of the things that stood out the most was how proactive and knowledgeable she was — often sending us new listings before they even hit Zillow. That early access made a huge difference in such a competitive market. Above all, her communication was excellent. She kept us informed every step of the way, was always responsive, and made sure we understood every part of the process. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner on this journey. Highly recommend! "

- Vishal Mansuria

" Kate far exceeded my expectations. This was not an easy sell having to negotiate with two divorced sellers. Kate’s choices of temp furniture and home features definitely added value to the sale. I would highly recommend utilizing Kate’s professionalism and expertise. Thank you Jim Fontanella "

- Jim Fontanella (Investor)

" I have counted on Irene twice now to help with my housing needs (1) to help me rent a home I own and (2) to purchase a house in a tough sellers market. Irene took the time to really understand what I wanted and had the strategy to help me achieve it! Long story short, I ended up with the “stately” property I wanted, in the location I wanted, and with a perfect house for me and actually under my budget!! Thanks for taking me to see homes during the off hours that worked for me and helping me get into such an amazing place when it’s not the easiest currently! You can absolutely rely on Irene to make your housing dream come true! "

" Justina and I have worked together for the past year and a half. She was by far one of the best coworkers I have had the pleasure to work with. She has always been extremely attentive and hard working. Not only is her work ethic excellent, her personality is wonderful. She is always smiling and brings a positive vibe to any space she is in. I have no doubt that she will make an excellent realtor and anyone who works with her is lucky to be around a gem of a person like Justina. "

She was attentive and listened to our needs and expectations, kept us in check by outlining what is expected of us in the process, and always had the resources or referrals when we needed them.

" Angela was the absolute best! Anytime we had a question or wanted to look at a house she was always so accommodating and flexible with schedules. As first time home buyers, we obviously didn’t know what to expect in the whole process and Angela walked us through step by step and provided excellent guidance along the way. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because that’s what she deserves! I can’t thank Angela enough for everything. I highly recommend her for anyone buying or selling a home! "

- John Evans

" Gina was so instrumental in me purchasing my first home. She guided me throughout the process, answered my questions and was thoughtful regarding the parameters of my search. Gina is detail oriented, reliable, and diligent. She does her homework on properties so we always knew what to expect/what questions to raise before even stepping foot onto a property. Gina genuinely had my best interests throughout the transaction which is very difficult to find. I strongly recommend her and remain thankful we were able to work together. "

- J P

" We had started to look for a retirement home in Monmouth Co, and a friend of ours had recommended Irene. On the first telephone conversation we had, she asked all the right questions of us and arranged to see a house the next day. We met in person and found her knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The results were we put a bid in on the house and, with her guidance, we were able to close on the deal. Smooth and easy. She hooked us up with all the right folks to make the purchase hassle free. Irene got it done! "

- Nancy White

" Besides Irene's professionalism, let me first address what I believe is her most important quality: her empathy. The sale of my parent's house took a few unforeseen twists and turns. During the entire time, Irene always made my parents feel at ease without overwhelming them with any anxiety (caused by the sale of the house). I was with Irene at many meetings with my parents and I know that my parents were made comfortable by Irene's step by step explanations and hand holding. Second, her professionalism. Every step of the way, Irene took me by the and and explained all necessary actions to be taken to drive a successful sale of the house. Other realtors might do the same but I always felt that Irene went "above and beyond." BIG TIME recommendation going forward for Irene. "

" Irene Zitzner and her company did an excellent job of helping me sell my house which I lived in for 43 years. As you can imagine, selling my house was difficult for me because of the attachment I had with it. Irene did a great job of encouraging me as the process went along. Her open house was sensational. We got 25 bids and a line outside of the house waiting to come in. I truly felt happy that so many people liked my house, all because Irene made sure that everything associated with the house looked outstanding. Thank you Irene! "

She could tell exactly what we were looking for and listened to all of our requests. We knew we weren’t her only clients at the time, but she made us feel like we had all of her attention. Once we found the home we were serious about, Angela acted quickly and efficiently to make sure that we got it. Her quick communication and attention to detail was something that made the experience seamless but also special. Angela took a lot of the stress of buying a home out of our hands and was able to make the process actually enjoyable. Her light hearted candor left us feeling at ease thorough everything and it would be without hesitation that we would use her again or recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!!! "
