"How can we ever thank you enough for all your guidance and support throughout our home search process? Buying from Chicago made it feel like a bigger challenge to us, but you always made it feel easy. We are so thrilled to be starting the next chapter of our family’s life in Glen Ridge and none of it would have turned out this way if it weren’t for you. We’re very much looking forward to some glasses of wine or coffees on the porch whenever you are passing through. Thank you for everything….we have appreciated you so much!" - Ashley & Mike

"Dana was tremendously helpful to us as first-time home buyers. Her local knowledge helped us at every stage of the process, from assessing our options to finding local experts such as an attorney, contractor, etc. She really hustles, answering every text and email as if it's urgent, even if it isn't. And she's a pleasure to deal with–never too pushy, always highly professional. We're very grateful for her help and would give her our highest recommendation to any home buyer or seller."

"My husband and I worked with Sue to find and purchase our new home in November 2019. She was extremely knowledgable about the area we were considering and in some cases she was familiar with specific homes we were interested in. She was never pushy with listings, was very open and honest about the pros and cons of each home, and was always available for a phone call or text message -- even late in the evening. Most critically, her vast experience and tenure was paramount in getting through the hot mess that was our closing day." - Jessica
★★★★★
"Dana is one of the most amazing people ever. she is not only an expert in the Montclair housing market, she's also an incredibly smart, caring, and wonderful person. her advice through the home buying process was invaluable as were her referrals/ connections. you mention Dana sent you, you'll be sure to be treated like gold! she is so responsive, remembers everything, and always has your back. Dana is more than a real estate agent- she'll be your advocate, sounding board, and navigator. I can't say enough good things about her. none better."
★★★★★
"Sue was so great to work with. She’s personable, responsive, and patient. We were first time home buyers and Sue was so understanding with our “dumb questions.” She navigated is through a stressful process and we love our new home. We are grateful, too, for all of the professionalism exhibited by her colleagues in the office. Sue is not just out for the sale— as evidenced by her maintenance of our relationship since our closing (sending local events and recommendations for restaurants, for example). Hopefully we won’t move for a long time, but if we do, Sue will be our first call."
★★★★★
"Dana helped us find our home in Montclair as we were selling an co-op apartment in Brooklyn. We were so impressed by her knowledge of the market and quick and efficient communication. Dana's connections and recommendations made the process so much easier, and we are truly grateful for all of her help!" - Elizabeth

"Sue was the perfect fit for us, after a few showings and conversations she knew exactly what we wanted. The search for a new home took us about 3 months in total, but once Sue knew what we wanted she found us the perfect home. We are so happy."
★★★★★
"Sue Lovit was a great help in our search for our new home. She was always attentive and quickly responded with answers to any questions we had along the journey. When it came time negotiate an offer, she gave sound advise and guided us through the entire process from search to closing. I highly recommend using Sue for any real estate needs."
★★★★★
"Dana was the most amazing person to work with. She was so knowledgeable about the area and took a real personal interest in finding us our best home. We looked for a very long time and she never pushed us to do something we weren’t comfortable with and was constantly sending us houses she thought we would be interested in. She really became a good friend in the process and our two year daughter even wanted her to live with us once we moved. Can’t say enough good things about our experience. Once we found our dream home she held our hand the whole way and let us know exactly what we needed to do. She suggested great people for multiple things having to do with the house and always made us feel like we were her top priority. We would recommend Dana over and over again!"
