We contracted with Scott to do our home appraisal while in our contingency period of the agreement…read moreof sale. When he arrived, he introduced himself to our realtor, and then I had to introduce myself and say "I'm the guy who hired you. You're working with me." He continued to direct all comments to the realtor. Unprofessional and inappropriate. Also inappropriate was how he came in and immediately said "Wow! You'd be lucky to get this for $XXX. Or even $YYY!" He was so inappropriately enthralled with the property from the time he set foot in it, all confidence in his ability to objectively make an appraisal went right out the window. And he continued to ignore me, the customer, and interact solely with my realtor. Including, when I was out of the room, telling the realtor he wouldn't be able to get the estimate done until FIVE days after we told him we needed it done by WHEN WE HIRED HIM for the gig. AND, as it would turn out, he had NO idea of the age of the house (which is unusual as he should've looked that up before setting foot in the place) or that there was a pipeline running through the property; completely unprepared. Oh, and after he left (an hour later), the realtor said "Did you happen to notice the woman sitting in his car the entire time?" Um, it was 90+ degrees out and no. No I did not. He ignored repeated attempts at contact and delivered the report 5 days after his commitment when we booked him. So, yes. "Eeks! Methinks not!"

I had the pleasure of selling my home to Nick in a smooth transaction…read more I felt the price he offered was fair. I also called another "I buy houses" company and they were offering about $50K less even though I explained this was not a "fixer upper." The close was fast and totally up to me when I wanted to close. I had to delay 2 weeks from the contracted close date and it was no problem for Nick. Nick removed any potential obstacles that would be required if working through the traditional route of a Realtor. First, I did not have to worry about repairs to prepare the home for sale or deal with any of the required repairs for obtaining a township Certificate of Occupancy (CO). At a minimum, the house needed painting inside and out, new carpeting, appliance and fireplace repairs. Because I was consumed with packing 30 years of stuff and renovating my new home, I did not have the time to find contractors, schedule them into when I could be home for the repairs, let alone just finding contractors to show up! Additionally, a big plus for me was that Nick told me leave anything I did not want inside and outside. Having a junk removal company come in would have been another headache and expense. And of course, no staging (keeping the house tidy and well appointed) for potential buyers, no scheduling showings and vacating when appointments were made, no negotiating with a buyer for an offer and acceptance and no full home inspections with potential additional negotiations and attorneys "back and forth" calls and correspondence adding more delay to the process. Nick does cash sales, so no waiting for a buyer to secure a mortgage. And finally, no realtor fees! Of course all of the above is accounted for in the price he offered and knowing his expenses and getting a fair profit for him, again, I felt happy with what he offered. I would recommend giving Nick Schiera call to see if your particular situation in selling your home can be an option for you! -Susan S. (Ewing, NJ)

Working with Dennis and his team was one of the best decisions we made in the home buying process…read more We initially went with another lender and very quickly it proved to be a mistake. Our realtor referred us to Dennis and from the first interaction we knew he was the one we wanted to work with. Being first time home buyers we had a ton of questions and not only were they answered, they were welcomed. In this market, Dennis was able to snag us an unbelievable rate which was crucial for us. After closing, we also got a sweet card and screwdriver kit in the mail which was a nice touch. Dennis' team also followed up with us making sure we received communication about when/where to make our first payment. 10/10 would recommend and will use Dennis and his team in the future.

I recently closed on a mortgage with the Dennis team, and I would recommend them to a friend. What…read moreprompted me to write this review was not the excellent rates or any individual person, though the rates were good and the team is excellent, but rather the overall professionalism of the team. When we were in the process of applying, a team member would reach out to me whenever he or she needed anything, so I was never in the dark about what was going on. Every single team member responded to calls or emails within 15 minutes. There were no surprises at closing, which is great. I had some trouble making the first payment, even though I am pretty tech savvy, and a team member took care of it for me quickly and efficiently.

Given the volatile market and interest rates moving around, I was fearful about marketing the home and it sitting on the market too long. With John's help I got exactly what I wanted for my home within 24 hours on the market while comparable homes are still for sale 45 days later. I am an out of state seller and he helped hook me up with the local vendors, checked on work and quarterbacked the overall process super well. Strong recommendation.

Jeff Rushton, one of the scores of sales agents at this office, helped me sell my house. The…read moreprocess was big and a bit messy, but Jeff did a good job. He stayed on top of the details. That said, the real estate brokerage industry critically needs an overhaul. It's too centralized --a dominant handful of brokerages do most of the business, and a handful of agents make the big bucks. The members-only Realtor system, designed more to enrich members than to foster an efficient market-- is hugely anticompetitive. So large and widely diffused an industry needs to be open to all. Try to trade property on your own, or with a non-Realtor agent, and you'll learn about loneliness!

We reached out to Scott because he had helped friends of ours get a home on the market and sold in…read moreunder a week and we were hoping he could do the same for us. When we met, he had constructive suggestions for the process and then was able to hook us up with an associate who stages homes for sale. They, in turn, provided access to a group of contractors who came in to do some necessary and cosmetic repairs to prepare the house for sale. It took about 5 or 6 weeks but in the first 2 days the house was listed, we received 3 offers and ended up selling the house for more than the asking price, which was substantially more than we had hoped to sell for before we met with Scott. The process of closing was simple and we did not attend closing, having signed off on the paperwork days earlier. All that was left to do was stop by his office to pick up our net proceeds check. I will use Scott again in a heartbeat if or when we decide to sell our current home. He made the entire process incredibly easy and relieved much of our stress over the entire process.

He treats everyone with respect and goes all the way for each and every client. Whether you are buying or selling, Scott will help you get what you want, with integrity and a great manner.
