My wife and I interviewed many real estate agents in search of the proper match for us…read more I'm glad I trusted my gut and went with Susan. First time buyers. We relocated to Ocean county and needed someone who would help us navigate a new unfamiliar area. Our search was focused on the beach towns in southern Monmouth and northern Ocean Counties. Based out of Spring Lake, this area is Susan's bread and butter. We narrowed the search down to the towns between Avon by the Sea and Bay Head, and Susan was able to give the ins and out of every nook between the two. When we found the right house, we thought it could potentially be a multiple offer situation. We rested easy knowing our offer was backed with Susan's reputation-"Her deals get done", the value of this can not be understated. Once we were under contract and throughout the entire process, Susan lended expert advice, and knew the right people to get the job done. Example... In most of these towns your going to need flood insurance. We had a complex situation because the home had no current flood policy, no existing elevation certificate, and fema maps were scheduled to change zones prior to closing. I got multiple quotes from different brokers but the agent Susan recommended ended up saving me nearly 70% on my flood policy, and did what the other insurance agents didn't even know was possible. He was able to get me locked into a transferable policy that grandfathered me into the existing flood zone, before I even closed on the house. This maneuver was based on Susan's recommendation and will keep my rates low for years to come. Susan stays on top of everyone on both sides of the transaction during the entire process and will ensure everything is completed in a timely fashion. Push never comes to shove, because Susan always nudged at the proper time. Susan will help you cross the finish line, she will not rest until the keys are in your hand. Quite literally. On Closing day, she ran through a rain storm & got soaking wet, without hesitation to retrieve the house keys from the sellers attorney who inadvertently took them with him, after the transaction was complete. Before I could finish my thought, "So when do we get the keys..." Susan had already bolted for the door, once again Susan saved the day. I highly recommend Susan for any real estate transaction.

Sellers Beware: Jim Dattoli Could Cost You Time and Money..buyers beware he won't do the basics…read more If you're a seller considering hiring Jim Dattoli of Remax, think twice. His lack of attention to detail, poor communication, and corner-cutting approach can cost you both time and money. Hidden Costs & Delays Jim does not proactively handle open permits, which can lead to costly delays at closing. He only addresses them if repeatedly reminded--one permit wasn't resolved until the actual day of closing. If you don't stay on top of him, you could be left dealing with unresolved legal issues that should have been handled upfront. Cheap Marketing That Hurts Your Sale Jim's approach to selling your home is as cheap as possible--for him. He takes his own photos instead of hiring a professional, skips including a floor plan, and writes vague, inaccurate descriptions. Poor marketing means fewer interested buyers and potentially lower offers. A well-marketed home sells faster and for a better price, but Jim does the bare minimum. Relisting Games & Unethical Tactics One of the most frustrating aspects of working with Jim is how he handles deals that are already under contract. Instead of helping move the transaction forward, he threatens to relist the home while under contract--a serious ethical issue that could create legal problems. Even if you have a committed buyer, Jim may try to strong-arm the process, which could risk losing the sale altogether. Failure to Represent Your Interests As a seller's agent, Jim should be advocating for you--but instead, he makes unauthorized comments and demands without your knowledge. This can create unnecessary conflicts with buyers and derail negotiations. He also resists handling legitimate repair requests, refuses to provide receipts, and avoids follow-up appointments, making it difficult to complete required work. A Nightmare Even After Closing Even when the sale is done, Jim drags his feet on basic responsibilities. He refuses to update the home's status as sold, won't remove the lockbox, and ignores requests to handle key and fob transfers. Sellers should not have to chase their own agent to complete simple post-closing tasks. Bottom Line Hiring Jim Dattoli could cost you in multiple ways: Lost time due to unresolved permit issues and delays Lower offers due to poor marketing and inaccurate listings Legal risks if he threatens to relist your home under contract Unnecessary stress from his unprofessional communication and lack of follow-through If you want a smooth, profitable, and ethical sale, look elsewhere. Jim's cut-rate approach might save him money, but it will cost you in the long run.

So many realtors will push you to accept the deal in order to get their commission, but we did not find that to be the case with Jack. In our case, we were attempting to buy a home prior to listing our house with Jack, and although we couldn't come to an agreement with sellers, it certainly wasn't Jack's fault. He did everything possible to make the deal happen. The only thing he never did was push us to accept a sale price we weren't comfortable with. He was an excellent buyer's agent from the beginning when he clearly understood what type of home we were looking for and never pushed us to look at homes that wouldn't interest us, to the end when he never pushed us to accept a deal that we felt was not good. This is why I highly recommend Jack (and his co-agent Michele Jasionowski) and won't hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Known behaviors by Jim Dattoli of Remax: He will get angry with your realtor. Jim will threaten to…read morerelist the home if you ask for repairs or don't meet his demands. Even when he has zero authority. He will not remove the lockbox after the home is sold even after asking. He will not update the listing to sold and keep it as pending. Which brings people to your house thinking the house is still available. He will not look up open permits. When informed of open permits he ignores that too. You risk buying a house from Jim that has open permits because he can't be bothered. Jim does not pay a professional photographer and his listings don't market well which includes inaccurate details like advertising hardwood floors when a box of pergo snap lock was visible in the closet. I cannot recommend Jim Dattoli of Remax to anyone looking for a competent and ethical real estate agent. His listing contained inaccurate details, advertising the home as having hardwood floors when it was actually Pergo snap-lock. He also failed to follow up on open permits until repeatedly reminded--only closing one on the day of closing. If my proactive realtor hadn't stayed on top of this, I would have been left with an unresolved permit issue on my new home. Jim's communication style is unprofessional. Rather than advocating for his client, he makes unauthorized comments and demands, creating unnecessary tension between buyers and sellers. Instead of facilitating a smooth transaction, he adds unnecessary obstacles. His approach to repairs is another red flag. He does not provide receipts for repair work, raising concerns about whether he is using professionals or just hiring friends. Any post-inspection repair requests are met with hostility, and he refuses to accommodate follow-up appointments, making it difficult for contractors to access the home. More concerning, he engages in unethical and potentially illegal tactics. He threatened to remove a home from the market and relist it--despite it already being under contract--simply because of a repair request. This behavior violates real estate ethics and could cause legal complications for both parties. Additionally, his marketing is subpar. He takes his own photos instead of hiring a professional photographer, does not provide a floor plan, and writes inaccurate and vague descriptions. The result is a low-effort listing that does a disservice to the seller. Even after closing, his lack of professionalism continued. He refused to update the home's status as sold, failed to remove the lockbox, and ignored multiple communications about keys, fobs, and the garage door opener. These basic responsibilities were met with complete disregard, forcing multiple follow-ups to get them resolved. In short: expect a cheap listing, resistance to any inquiry, and no receipts for repairs. If there's an open permit, he won't take the initiative to close it. Sellers beware. Thankfully, my realtor was proactive--otherwise, this experience would have been even worse.
