" We wanted to express our thanks to you for the fantastic service that you provided throughout the entire process of selling our home. We had our home for sale for many months with a different realtor and was rather dissatisfied for many reasons. When we hired Elyse, we had a totally different experience. She is very professional, honest and knowledgeable in her Kraft. She advised us about the best staging for the house and provided us excellent advice in dealing with the many issues that arise over the course of the sales process. In addition, we appreciated the quality of the photography that she arranged that made a favorable impression on prospective buyers. We would recommend Elyse to anyone looking to buy or sell, she goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you for the outstanding service Elyse!" - Raj

" Elyse is a standout in the (crowded) real estate industry. She not only possesses a deep knowledge of the Millburn/Short Hills/Livingston area (+ all surrounding towns), but her background in both law + finance make her both a fair + expert negotiator.
