We came to Lynn and Glenn Garafola (Team Nest) through a referral by a good friend. It is…read morecertainly a great benefit to be working with a team where both players bring complimentary skills and talents. Lynn is a very capable and well networked real estate professional bringing strong market knowledge, transparency, and pragmatism to her clients. Glenn brings project and process management discipline as well as solid insight about home features and a balanced perspective about potential challenges. Together, they provide the complete package of support for both home purchase and sale. They work seamlessly with you through every step of the process. You certainly know where you are in the process and the next steps or potential obstacles moving forward. Most importantly, through it all, they are always working for you and your interests. When selling, they will recommend proactive actions making sure the home is properly staged, marketed, and inspection ready. During the home search, they are keen to understand your family needs, your preferences, and possible tradeoffs. In purchasing a new home, they connect all the dots with inspectors, lawyers, and lenders to orchestrate a successful closing. We highly recommend Lynn and Glenn. Ours was a lengthy home search, we purchased our dream home prior to listing our current home, and were fortunate to sell within our target time frame. Through it all, we were in good hands. We appreciated their insight, professionalism and patience, trusted they would protect our interests, and knew they were bringing their best effort.

When my wife Debbie suggested in May, that maybe we should think about selling our house, never in…read moremy wildest dreams did I think we would be on our way by the end of August . We had been in contact Lynn before about moving and decided to give her a call. Once Lynn and Glenn got on board, we knew we were in the right hands. Lynn came in like a house on fire! She came in with a plan to maximize the potential of our house. At first, I balked at the suggestions. As I came around, every suggestion she made, I said to myself," I should have done this years ago!" The entire process was so professional. From the still photos, to the virtual tour, the whole team was very invested in making our house as inviting and salable as possible. The teamwork between Lynn and Glenn is just about as perfect as you can ask for. Lynn was a dynamo and Glenn was the calming influence when things got stressful. In conclusion, we received several offers over ask in the first weekend. We finally received an offer 15% over ask! This could not have happened without the hard work of this exceptional team. We couldn't be happier with our choice of agents!

Karen is a true, fair and honest real estate professional.

Simon seemed interested in showing me homes after I attended an open house where he was the listing…read moreagent. He reached several days later like most agents do offering his services and to let him know of homes I would be interested in so I did. Upon questioning some of the prices of homes and length of time on the market, Simon accused me of having a bad reputation with all agents in three NJ counties stating "they all know youre attending open houses and making low offers to see if you can get a good deal". He also said that my reputation is so bad that I will not find a home to buy, implying that no agent would work with me. Ended by referring to me as a "low life" and that I was wasting his time. Obviously he was upset of the way I perceive the real estate market. And instead of shedding market knowledge, he resorted to insulting me. I have dealt with amazing agents who have given me valuable knowledge on homes and offered to assist, Simon gives these agents a really bad rap by his egregious and unprofessional behavior and it's my opinion he deserves to be disciplined for his actions. He is not one agent or his broker at Coldwell Banker I would ever do business with or recommend.

A realtor should be friendly and open to answer questions regarding properties and not snap with a rude attitude making locals feel as though they've inconvenienced them by taking 2 mins out of their time during their workday! Extremely unprofessional and embarrassing. Would never recommend these realtors after this interaction. Complete lack of respect and professionalism.

Stress is a by-product of selling a house, but it's particularly grueling and anxiety-provoking if…read moreyou're placing a home on the market due to a beloved parent's unexpected passing. Confronted with this unenviable scenario, virtually immobilized, I was still saddled with overwhelming house-selling responsibilities. My aunt told me about a glowing recommendation she received from a friend who had used the D&L team in the past. Although this team of realtors had impressive credentials, I still met with other realtors, looking for someone who possessed the following attributes: - a wealth of experience - an abundance of knowledge in the field, particularly about the local market - strong savviness in sales and marketing - an unbeatable work ethic - a magnetic personality - effective communication and interpersonal skills; and - sensitivity and compassion in leaps and bounds When I met Lori Intoccia, who happens to be an integral member of the D&L team, I instinctively knew that I found my ideal candidate. She expressed her sincere condolences for my profound loss and offered an outstretched hand of support and a shoulder to cry on to help me work through my unrelenting grief. She reassured me that she would do everything in her power to sell the house with expediency - at a seller's favorable price point. Moreover, she promised to be readily accessible to field any questions, offer tips and suggestions, and overcome any hurdles. Lori kept her word on all accounts, even answering the phone on Sunday evenings! (As she reminded me, she works seven days a week.) As a house-selling novice, I soaked up all of Lori's brilliant strategies in making the house look even more appealing. She told me how to stage the house, and shared clever ideas on what to keep, what to discard, and what to add. (There is no need to hire a house stager if you opt to use Lori's services.) In addition, Lori Intoccia fully pointed out all possible repairs that needed to be done - even before the house inspection. She is able to see the house selling transaction from all perspectives, including a buyer's point of view, which only helps to preclude future problems from surfacing, and help buyers fall in love with a home. As an added plus, Lori Intoccia, known in real estate circles as the 'Queen of Green' (i.e., specializing in Green Township real estate) is well-connected, and I benefited greatly from her list of suggested vendors, providing me with competitive pricing and excellent, timely work. Lori also apprised me of all necessary inspections, including fire and well water, and what to purchase. When I bought the wrong type of carbon monoxide detectors, Lori was quick to go to the store and buy the correct model. She went further beyond the scope of her duties by meeting with repairmen and inspectors when I couldn't. (Even family members would hesitate to help in such a way.) Furthermore, any prospective seller or buyer will be drawn to Lori Intoccia as she has a special way of connecting with people. She is bright, honest, down-to-earth, and caring - someone who will make the laborious job of house selling so much easier. She instantly instills trust and is so deserved of it. I just closed on the house without even needing to list it. The first prospective buyer (from Lori's long list of contacts) placed a bid on the house, and the transaction is now officially complete. (And I received more than market value for it!) When I'm ready to sell my own home , I know that I'll be fortunate to have the best realtor in my corner: Lori Intoccia and the D&L team. I unequivocally suggest you use the same real estate agent, convinced that your experience will be just as favorable should you take my advice.
