Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"Jen was our first/only agent in NJ and guided us through the offer process seamlessly - step by step and anticipating our (many!) questions! We didn’t get our first offer - Jen was transparent about how much it would likely sell for but also wanted to make sure we were comfortable with our offer. We got the second house we put an offer in — we probably looked at 10-15 houses. Jen was also so gracious when we took a full year+ between touring NJ and ultimately deciding to search for a home here! 11/10! I credit your team with helping us make a competitive offer that got us our house! There are so many nuances to this specific market and I can’t imagine working with someone without your team’s level of expertise. I love that Jen is direct, thoughtful, and thorough. I appreciate that the team was consistently on top of everything - we always felt like we were in good hands! You really can’t beat Jen’s knowledge of this area and trends in the market, not to mention her general passion for this area! "

" Jen and Jenna were our first agents and this was the second offer we put on a house. They knew how to help us make a competitive offer while keeping in mind the top of our range. We knew as soon as we pulled up to our new home we were going to love it and actually ended up loving it more than the first offer we put in at another place. It had the charm we were looking for and the sunroom/backyard really sold it for us. As did the easy commute to transportation. We also fell in love with the street as soon as we drove down it and knew we wanted to be in this neighborhood. We were grateful for their guidance as this was our first time purchasing a home, and we learned so much during this process. As things came on the market they shared with us only what they knew we’d really like, and beyond just the house itself they were thoughtful about the future neighborhoods we’d be living in and really listened to what we wanted. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. As soon as we met Jen and Jenna at an open house they were hosting (that we decided to check out on a whim), we knew we wanted to work with the team. They were so helpful for first-time home owners and their advice was much needed. They walked us through the process and made us feel comfortable the entire time. This can be scary and overwhelming but we were thankful for a solid team working alongside us! "

★★★★★
"Our experience could not have been smoother during the offer process. Jen was our first agent and her team was chosen for the extensive local expertise and insider trade secrets for having an offer accepted. We were advised to keep an eye on the market and be ready to see anything that may be a fit for our family. We viewed approximately 5-6 homes over the course of 2 weeks before seeing the final house. When we saw our home, we were well prepared by Jen to understand what it takes to be competitive and move quickly. It was Jen’s guidance beyond the offer price that helped present the most compelling offer terms and win the house. We couldn’t have been selected for the house without her guidance. The Jen Greenberg Group’s knowledge of the local market was absolutely critical in our home-buying experience. This started with market intelligence, recommendations for local resources in our mortgage company/contact and lawyer. It extended to insider knowledge of buying/selling tactics in viewing and prepping offers and most importantly in drafting the perfect offer. Beyond the offer acceptance, Jen’s recommendations for inspector, estimates and local resources for owning the home are so valuable to newcomers to the neighborhood. "

★★★★★
" As first-time sellers, we did not know what to expect. We just assumed the process would be stressful with negotiations, inspections, and more. None of that happened. Jen and Jenna took care of everything and kept us informed the entire time. After meeting Jen for the first time, she gave us several dates to shoot for as far as the closing. We were surprised by her time frame. But as usual, Jen knew exactly what the market was doing and how we should proceed. Once we started the process, Jen spent a lot of time telling us what she thought should be done so the house would be shown at its best. Every time we questioned why something had to be done, Jen would calmly say, “Trust me”, so that’s what we did. She was right about everything. She and her assistant, Jenna, arranged for every person or company who did work on the house. And all of that work was done quickly and beautifully. Our house was under contract a week after the first realtors open and it sold over the asking price. We can’t say enough about how smoothly and efficiently the process went thanks to the Jen Greenberg Group. We would highly recommend them without any hesitation."

★★★★★
" Jen is the BEST! She is everything you could possibly ask for. She and her Team will do anything and everything to make the moving process easy for her clients. Jen stays involved through every part in the process and stays connected after the closing. We lived in our house for over 20 years and as you can imagine there was a lot to do to get ready to sell. Jen had all the perfect contacts to get the job done quickly, efficiently, and with very little stress to us - she was . If you are looking for a "really good" realtor in this area, no one is better than Jen…she is truly the BEST!!!""

★★★★★
" I could not have asked for a better partner in selling my home than Jennifer Greenberg. From the moment we sat down to discuss the possibility of selling, through receiving the final closing check, Jen was with me every step of the way. Her motto throughout was "Don't worry, I've got this" and it was true. Selling a home can be incredibly stressful, and Jennifer took the time to analyze the market, check the details, and ensure that I was getting the best representation possible. I believed that hiring Jennifer was a great idea, and it turned out to be much more than that - it was invaluable. She is thoughtful, energetic, organized, and smart. Jennifer Greenberg is the best. "

★★★★★
"What can I say? Jen does an excellent job and I immediately felt her passion for her work through her dependable work ethic, organization and deep knowledge. She was referred to me after another couple I knew had used her a couple years ago. Being a first-time homeowner is scary, but I felt 1,000% supported throughout the entire process with her at my side. On Close Day, I was in complete awe watching her in action -- literally doing circles around me -- handling all the various tasks with Title that surfaced and I could not be more honored and grateful that she was my agent. And she didn't disappear after the purchase. We're still very much in touch as she's been helping me sort through a few small final items. Thank you so much, Jen. I could not be more happy in my new home and I hope you know that I now consider you a friend."

★★★★★
" Jen helped my husband and me find our first home in South Orange. We were both very nervous about the whole process and we needed a lot of hand-holding. Thankfully Jen was able to walk us through every step of the process. She told us what we would need to do to get every house we were interested in and provided us with very helpful information when we made our offers. She also provided honest feedback on the houses we looked at and never pressured us to make an offer. When we had to bring our daughter along (who was about 3 months old when we started looking at houses) Jen acted as a babysitter too! Ultimately Jen found us an off-market exclusive listing and helped us craft the winning bid. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house in the area. "
