★★★★★
"Rena is SOMA’s area expert when it comes to real estate. She truly understands what buyers are looking for and strategically conveys that to a seller. She is extremely accessible and kept us informed every step of the way. She went above and beyond when marketing our home, helping us secure top dollar. We could not have been happier, and would absolutely refer her to anybody looking to buy or sell. Simply the best!" - Seller in Maplewood, NJ 

★★★★★
"Rena was knowledgeable, patient, and calming during a very stressful buying and selling process. We had to complete our transactions during the global pandemic, and Rena kept the whole process moving smoothly. Her excellent communication skills ensured both our deals stayed on track. Highly recommend." - Buyer/Seller in Maplewood, NJ

★★★★★
"Rena is the best of the best — incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, down-to-earth, friendly and a joy to be around. She worked her magic at every step of the way to make sure we were taken care of and went out of her way to make sure we understood each step as first time home buyers. I genuinely looked forward to seeing her whenever we did and miss her already! Highly recommend Rena!- Buyer in Montclair, NJ

★★★★★
"I couldn’t recommend Rena more. She showed us houses before we even knew we were moving to the area just to help us consider our plans. Once we decided to move to NJ, she was incredibly helpful, professional and responsive at every step of the way. She is fabulous!!! - Buyer in Maplewood, NJ

★★★★★
"I feel so fortunate that we had Rena to help us every step of the way as we sold our home AND bought a new home in the area. Rena was always friendly and patient with our frequent questions. I was particularly impressed by her understanding of the market and how hard she worked. She really went above and beyond. I've already recommended her to my sister who is looking for a home nearby." - Buyer/Seller in South Orange, NJ

★★★★★
"Rena was a super realtor to work with long distance. We met in person for our initial meeting. After that we communicated via texts, emails and phone calls as we live in another state. She and her support team handled all aspects of clean up, fix up and finishing the town house to put on the market. After a successful "open house", we had a buyer. We can't say enough good words and thanks to Rena and her team. They were fantastic!" - Seller in West Orange, NJ
