Millburn Short Hills News

Review from the Sellers of 22 Athens Road, Short Hills, which closed for $1,595,000! We represented the buyer & seller! Love helping clients achieve their real estate goals, and in this instance, loved helping this family sell their grandmother’s house in Short Hills. The last line about them being “thrilled with the results that did right by their grandparent’s legacy” was incredibly fulfilling. We listed their grandmother’s home for $1,388,000, and in one weekend, went terms agreed for the home, which eventually closed for $1,595,000, $207,000 over the asking price! We represented the buyer & seller, and were so happy to have had such a great result for this lovely family.

Terrific Review from our Clients at 22 Athens Road, which closed for $1,595,000 – Short Hills Real Estate. Thrilled to have exceeded their expectations, and helped them honor their grandparents’ legacy! Very fulfilling!

“As sellers of my grandmother’s house in Short Hills that didn’t live in the area, we came into the process with no local knowledge (or bias). It quickly became clear to us that Arlene was the clear agent to go with – with a resounding lead in both the longevity of her experience and the quality and depth of her local network. She lives and breathes Short Hills/Millburn, and her local knowledge is unmatched. Arlene was never deterred by the challenges of the house – a home my grandmother had lived in for 60 years that was very dated, with severe floorplan problems. She knew who the buyers would be, and she knew the points that would make the house attractive to them. We were absolutely thrilled with the results – the house sold for more than even my top hopes, most importantly with perfect terms (all-cash, no inspection/contingencies, preferred closing timing). Oh, and it sold in a weekend. With several offers behind the winner that also had perfect terms for backup peace of mind. I genuinely think the difference was Arlene’s network – she knew all the buyers that would be interested, whether individuals searching or developers. She knew the timing and open houses they would expect, and she communicated our preferences around terms (which were all included in the offers we received). We also appreciated Arlene and her team’s willingness to handle everything on the ground, since we were trying to manage the sale from out of state. Her team even completely handled the fire inspection during the closing period, showing a willingness to pitch in where ever was necessary to close the deal. We appreciated the speed with which Arlene moved, her consistent availability, and most importantly her ability to get the thrilling results that did right by my grandparents’ legacy. Thank you, Arlene!”
