​ ★★★★★
"Ilona is an amazing person to know and work with. I found her by chance and she helped me find a perfect home. Ilona understood what I was looking for and she was very thoughtful in shortlisting the houses. Once we found few options, she pursued them actively and found details that helped with offer acceptance. She walked me through each step of buying a house and answered all my questions promptly. I couldn’t have wished for a better person to partner with to buy a house. I value the balance of personal touch and professionalism she operates with. I would highly recommend her as a realtor."

★★★★★
"Our journey with Ilona was a long one. Initially we came to Livingston looking to buy, but circumstances took us in a different direction and we ended up renting a house which Ilona helped us find. After 2 years of renting we decided to enter the housing market once again and Ilona was there with us every step of the way. Finding a house in this market was not easy, but Ilona knew exactly what we were looking for and showed us only what we wanted and what was within our price range. After a year an a half of looking, we finally found our home. Ilona's professionalism mixed with her personal touch was second to none. I would highly recommend this superstar!"

★★★★★
"Ilona helped me sell my house in record time and I was able to purchase a new home, with expertly constructed bid and negotiations. Ilona was the most helpful agent during a crazy house(s) selling/buying process. She helped from price research to finding the best attorneys and contractors; from negotiations to reminding us of important dates and deadlines. Every step of the way she was valuable adviser, managing and keeping track of the process and its every detail. She helped us sell two homes in two different towns so we could blend our families into one new home. Ilona is utmost professional, resourceful and patient real estate agent, capable of finding working solutions in a very difficult market."

★★★★★
"Ilona has been extremely helpful to find our dream home. Our first “date” was a tour of the town, which was greatly appreciated as we were very new (still are) to NJ. Even though the market was insanely competitive, Ilona went above and beyond and found us a stunning house. She was there every step of the way, knew exactly in what direction we wanted to head and was truly resourceful. She cares and will flight for her clients! We couldn’t recommend her enough!!"

★★★★★
"Ilona Berlaga is an exceptional realtor. She made the difficult process of selling my parent's home manageable. She was there for us from start to finish. She had invaluable advice in preparing my parent's home for sale. The marketing and staging of my parent's home was excellent and then she was with us throughout the negotiation and sale process. She was always available and I could not be happier with her service and the results. I highly recommend Ilona."
