“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Arlene this summer on both the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one. From start to finish, she was incredible. Her strategic thinking, market knowledge, and ability to execute made the entire process smooth and successful. Arlene guided us through every step with professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care. She anticipated challenges before they arose, offered clear advice, and always had our best interests in mind. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to sell our home quickly and for a great value, while also finding the perfect new home for our family.

What really stood out was her personal touch—she truly listened to our needs, went above and beyond to answer all our questions, and made us feel supported the entire way. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and highly recommend Arlene to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“We recently sold our home with Arlene, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Arlene went above and beyond to make sure our home was marketed beautifully and sold for the highest possible price. She gave us excellent advice throughout the process and was always honest, responsive, and respectful of our goals. She even had our home professionally staged at her own expense, which really enhanced the appeal to buyers. On top of that, she personally brought over 20 potted plants to brighten up the entrance and patio. The photos and videos were professionally done, showcased on all major websites, and she even produced a detailed 20-page brochure with floorplans. Thanks to Arlene’s thorough marketing, we received multiple strong offers from well-qualified buyers.

When inspection issues came up, she guided us through resolving them smoothly and efficiently, ultimately leading to a successful closing. She is very resourceful-if there was ever a problem, she always found a solution for us. We truly felt confident throughout the entire process, knowing Arlene was committed to getting us the best outcome. If you’re looking for someone who works tirelessly, markets strategically, and genuinely cares about delivering results, we highly recommend Arlene.”

“Arlene is a highly knowledgeable and skilled realtor. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who knows the Short Hills market better. We hired Arlene in Summer 2025 to sell our home in Short Hills, which was priced on the higher end of the market. Arlene ensured our home was well presented: she brought in a professional home stager who rearranged some of our existing furniture, added staged furniture, added décor and outdoor plantings, and made numerous easy changes which materially enhanced the appearance of our home (i.e. changing some paint colors and light fixtures). Arlene had excellent professional photos taken of our home, and produced an informative and visually enticing color brochure of our home.

Arlene is excellent at cultivating and maintaining relationships, and she maintains a large network of potential buyers and channels through which to generate potential buyers. Arlene was able to make our home show exceptionally, maximizing its positive features (dramatic primary suite, large kitchen, high ceilings, large lot) and minimizing its drawbacks. Arlene talked us through the way she pitched our home during showings and it was perfect. Arlene personally managed all showings and open houses; she did not pass us off to someone else on her team. Arlene is a very hard worker, and was always available to discuss developments and guide us through the home selling process. Arlene’s efforts generated two strong offers for our home. We would recommend Arlene to anyone selling a home in Short Hills.”

Review from client we helped sell a home and buy a new one in Short Hills! #ShortHillsRealEstate

Thrilled to be able to help this lovely family sell their home in Short Hills and buy their dream home! We helped them sell 47 Barnsdale Road for $2,750,000 and buy 260 Hartshorn Drive for $4,200,000. We represented both the buyers and sellers of 260 Hartshorn Drive. Please see their review below. It was an honor helping them!

“We first worked with Arlene when moving from the city to Short Hills to buy our first home, and she was absolutely outstanding. Years later, when it came time to buy our next home and sell our existing one, there was no question we would turn to her again—and she exceeded every expectation. Arlene went above and beyond to help us secure our new home while also fast-tracking the sale of our current house, even though we listed it after we had already put in an offer on our purchase. Her marketing strategy was exceptional—she personally enhanced our home’s appeal by bringing in beautiful potted plants, commissioning top-tier photography and videography, producing a detailed brochure, and hosting both realtor and public open houses. Her efforts resulted in multiple offers from qualified buyers and a sale in record time.

What truly sets Arlene apart is that she is more than just a real estate agent—she becomes a trusted friend. She takes the time to understand your family, your lifestyle, and your needs, and then works tirelessly to make it happen. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. Thanks to Arlene, our transition was smooth, our home sold for an excellent price, and we’re now in the perfect place to enjoy for years to come. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling in the area.”

Thrilled to review this terrific review from our lovely clients who we helped sell 8 Sherwood Road, Short Hills for $4,288,000! We represented the buyer & seller of the home, and are so happy to be able to help such lovely people achieve their real estate goals.

“We recently sold our home with Arlene and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. We chose Arlene for her deep knowledge of the local market, extensive experience, and strategic insight. She knew exactly how to position our home, advising us to list early, anticipating increased spring inventory. Arlene’s marketing approach was outstanding. She brought in a fantastic stager, enhancing our home’s appeal while preserving its original charm. Her use of high-quality photography, videos, and creative touches—like posters showcasing features not immediately visible—really made our home stand out.

What truly set Arlene apart was her hands-on service. She personally handled every showing to ensure our home’s best features were highlighted. We were impressed with how she was always available, day or night. We felt like a top priority throughout the entire process. Arlene brought in multiple strong offers and handled negotiations with professionalism and skill. She represented both us and the buyer and closed the deal at full asking price. In short, Arlene went above and beyond. She knows Short Hills inside and out, works tirelessly for her clients, and delivers exceptional results. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell in the area—she’s a true 5-star realtor.”
