★★★★★
"Mary Premtaj was our broker. My wife and I have bought and sold a number of different properties over the years. Mary is by far the best realtor we have ever had. A consummate professional from our first meeting through closing and beyond. Mary is experienced and has a long term view of her role and understands that a great reputation is earned by doing the right thing by your clients every time. Her presentation of the property was stunning, thoughtful and creative. She took care for every detail and knew very well how to present the property to optimize value and fully express the beauty of our home. She also understood the significance of our property to our community and to our family. She cares about how buyer and seller feel about the transaction. And in the end that is very important; particularly when parting with a beloved home. I would absolutely retain Mary again and recommend her without hesitation. She is a class act through and through." -Daniel O

★★★★★
"Mary handled both a property sale and subsequent purchase in 2023 for me. A consummate professional with decades of experience Mary helped to price our sale property correctly in a very active and fluctuating market. Her listing guidance was on point including her recommendations regarding the work necessary in advance of listing. After the sale Mary helped me identify multiple properties for purchase. She often uncovered issues that affected the property's value that I would never have noticed. Highly recommended."

★★★★★
"I have dealt with many realtors in the past. Without a doubt Mary and her Premtaj team were far and away the absolute BEST. Mary worked diligently throughout the process to source numerous potential buyers and offered me invaluable advice throughout the process. She kept me informed almost daily with both strategies and open house results. Never did I have to call her as she consistently initiated the dialogue. Once the home was under contract, she took care of everything leading up to a successful closing including working with a plumbing company and changing batteries while I was out of town. Without any reservation, Mary and her team members are at the top of the list to represent anyone in a real estate transaction. They know how to get things done and I highly recommend Mary and the Premtaj team." -W. Aimetti

★★★★★
"Mary and Michele were amazing to work with. Mary found us the absolute perfect home in the best location for my family of 6. All of us had different wants and needs. The process was quick and smooth. Mary and Michele provided us with all the necessary info we needed to keep the process on track. Mary has a very calming vibe which was amazing to balance out our stresses of buying and selling a home. They also have checked up on us a few times since moving to town. You can tell they are great people and always put their clients' best interest at heart. Highly recommend!" -H. Stein

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Mary Premtaj and her team as they truly deserve a 5-star review! As an NYC broker who has worked with hundreds of brokers, closing billions of dollars in deals – Mary ranks as one of the best agents I have ever worked with professionally and personally. It’s no wonder her and her team rank one of the best in Franklin Lakes and Bergen County. Mary is incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. She always knew what was coming before it happened and was able to provide detailed information on anything from leaks, to gutters, to mold to septic systems and guided us calmy throughout the entire 2 year long process of finding a home for my family. Her dedication and diligence are commendable, and she consistently demonstrated honesty and integrity. If you're looking for a broker who will go above and beyond to meet your needs, Premtaj and her team are the ones to trust" -D. Lulgjuraj

"Mary Premtaj and her team were awesome. They earned every penny of their commission and then some. Terrific negotiators and helpful with every stage of the process. They absorbed the stress and were on top of every situation. Don’t waste your time using anyone else. These people are professionals!!" -Pam B

★★★★★
"When we decided to sell our home we immediately signed on with Mary and her team. Performance and execution are both paramount in all business transactions especially when selling a home. Mary and her team have a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as having a command of the real estate industry, not just in Franklin Lakes but in Bergen County. The entire process of preparing the house and presenting it for listing (their guidance, advice and inputs were perfect), through the open house , series of offers, contract execution, inspection and final closing was as seamless and collaborative as could be. The bottom line is we closed within 30 days of the house being listed with a price we were extremely pleased with. Overall the process in selling our home was a very satisfying, efficient and productive event." -Mark P
