Amy Lutz

"When my husband and I found out I was pregnant earlier this year, we immediately realized that we needed to move out of Brooklyn where we had been for 12 years to be closer to family in NJ. We had casually popped into open houses in Maplewood and South Orange a few times without representation but the day that we met Amy at one of the properties, we knew we had found our agent. From the very beginning, we felt she understood our needs completely (having moved to the area from our neighborhood in Brooklyn just a few years prior) and was very knowledgeable about the places we were interested in. Amy's local expertise and confident nature earned our complete trust right away. With Amy's help, we had placed an offer on a condo, which was accepted by the seller but we sadly had to bow out in the end. We felt terribly, especially after Amy had dedicated so much time to helping us find what we thought was our dream home, but she didn't hesitate before sending along 5 more properties that were even better. In the end, Amy found us the perfect home to start a family in, which was one we never would have considered if she hadn't suggested it to us. From start to finish, Amy was able to make the home buying process as easy and stress-free as possible for us. From waiting for the inspector at our new place while we were stuck in terrible traffic to racing around with us on the day we attempted to close on our Brooklyn apartment and new house in the same day, Amy was a complete saint and a total lifesaver. She even offered to stop by our new place to check in on the renovations we were undergoing to save us a trip in from Brooklyn before the big move. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone interested in buying or selling in the area. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated, passionate, helpful or kind realtor out there. Amy is truly the best and my family will be forever grateful for all of the hard work and long hours she poured into finding us our dream home." - Kel

"I recently took a job in Manhattan that required my family and I to uproot from our native South Louisiana (Lafayette) and relocate to the Northeast. Our story could've been clipped straight from a script for an HGTV mini-series. We took a tremendous risk by me starting my new job and leaving my family behind with our home in Louisiana still unsold and needing the equity from its sale to put a downpayment for a home in New Jersey. I met Amy by chance at an open house she was listing and as soon as I asked her to represent us she immediately dove in and began analyzing our needs (two kids, three dogs, nice neighborhood, excellent schools, etc). I was commuting from Brooklyn and without a car but Amy didn't allow that to slow me down, making every effort to meet me at various train stations and escort me from house to house for showings...and eventually picking me up for our closing! In a matter of 6 weeks, she helped us navigate selling our home in Louisiana and closing on a home in New Jersey, utilizing her experience to recommend lenders and attorneys that knew how to react with the urgency that our circumstances required. She moved heaven and earth to get us into our new home and reunite me with my lovely family. For that, I'll always be grateful." - Stuart

"As a couple living in Manhattan and looking for a house in New Jersey, Amy was great on all fronts. From ferrying us around on the weekend to see listings to dealing with extra inspections in West Orange on short notice when we couldn't make it out of city. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Amy was always ready to answer any questions we had or track down documents and paperwork. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience than working with Amy to close on our first home! We highly recommend her.

"Amy helped our family find our next home in South Orange. While we are long-time residents, Amy brought tons of additional insight about the current market and what we could expect. She quickly helped us refine what we were looking for, understand options and think through what we really wanted. Amy is honest and thorough – for example, being upfront about bumps we faced and just great at communicating throughout the process, following up on details, etc. She is very dedicated to her clients and quickly helped us find (and then close on!) our new home. We can’t wait to have her as one of the first guests for a glass of prosecco on our patio. "

"I would give Amy 10 out of 5 stars if I could! We started working with Amy while we were still in California about the make the move to NJ. Amy prepared us by sending listings so we could familiarize ourselves with the market. In this very competitive market, it was great to hit the ground running with an understanding of what to expect before arriving in NJ. Amy was very clear to set expectations about the various communities. Amy brought us to several houses each week. She was always honest with her opinion about the houses and the best strategy for being successful with a purchase. She never pressured us to go beyond our comfort zone. We ended up purchasing a home off market. That was possible because of Amy's relationships in the real estate community and her deep knowledge of the area. If you are looking for an agent, you will not find anyone better than Amy Lutz. She took such great care of my family. You will be in great hands from day one until the keys are in your hands and beyond."
