We received glowing recommendations for Bonnie and Kelly from several colleagues, and they absolutely lived up to the hype! They went above and beyond our expectations. Their expertise in the local market and the home-buying journey is impressive, and they have a way of making you feel like an active participant. They were always transparent, easy to reach with questions, and incredibly organized throughout the process. Their kindness made a huge difference during the emotional process of buying our first home. It was the best experience thanks to them. I also want to acknowledge the essential work of Teri and Julius behind the scenes. This team is simply amazing to work with. THANK YOU!!!! read more

This review is long overdue, but my husband and I are still so incredibly grateful for the amazing work the Tandem Group did to help us purchase our first home. We couldn't have done it without Kelly Lombardi and her incredible team! Kelly was knowledgeable, attentive, supportive, and so warm--she made the entire home search process enjoyable and stress-free. From researching homes to guiding us through tours and open houses, Kelly went above and beyond. She even crawled into basements and tight attics with us, teaching us what to look for along the way. As someone who started this journey knowing very little about the mechanical and structural parts of a home, I can't overstate how valuable her guidance was. She broke things down in such an approachable way, and we learned so much from her. Kelly will always hold a special place in our hearts--not only for helping us find our dream home but for being an impromptu photographer when my husband proposed during our final walkthrough on closing day. Saying "I highly recommend the Tandem Group" doesn't feel like enough. If you're searching for or buying a home, working with Kelly and her team is hands down one of the best decisions you can make. Kelly, you are truly amazing--thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

We met Kelly at an open house while just starting our house hunting journey. After meeting her, I loved her personality and her knowledge of the area that made us want to reach out if she would be taking on any new clients. It was our luck that not only was Kelly available, but we also got Bonnie who ended up being just as amazing. They both shared endless knowledge of a market that is very intimidating especially for first time buyers. They understood our needs and wants as well as the fact we were on a running clock with our second child on the way. With their guidance, not only were we able to find our home before baby girl arrived but also helped us navigate a fast close. I could not recommend them enough to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. You will get a fantastic team with tandem that has your best interests in mind. read more

Bonnie & Kelly are the GOAT, the Dream Team, the MVPs of real estate, no exaggeration. From the initial decision to sell our house to the day of closing, the team guided and supported us every step of the way with patience, empathy, incomparable expertise, and an expansive network of dependable contractors. Bonnie & Kelly understand the challenges and stresses associated with moving - of which there are many - and they were always available and communicative to help us deal with details large and small, throughout the process. We could not be happier or more satisfied with our experience, and we owe it to the Tandem team. Highly recommended!! read more

Kelly and Bonnie have been fantastic throughout the entire process. I got to know them through recommendations, and they truly lived up to the praise. They did an excellent job organizing everything, helping us find the right home, and offering valuable advice and recommendations every step of the way. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the market, which helped us make informed decisions with confidence. read more

Where do we even begin?! Bonnie and Kelly are the kindest, most genuine realtors we could have ever hoped for! We had moments where we considered renting instead of buying and they embraced that and helped us look at rentals, without pushing us back towards buying and in the end after we realized a purchase would make the most sense, they clicked into go-mode and showed us some incredible properties. We are very in love with the house we found. It is literally our dream home. The intimate and gentle (but firm when necessary!) guidance got us past several other bidders and here we are, owners of a house we will raise our family in. Terri and the support team were also always on the ball. Setting up the inspection process, getting us all the contractor referrals we needed, giving us landscaper info, painters, plumbers, electricians, foundation experts etc etc, their network of highly qualified experts is huge. The best part is all the contractors give you the best deals and best work because they want to remain on the list of the best Realtors in northern New Jersey. These ladies are busy! But you never feel like you're not getting enough attention. Instead you're getting daily updates, frequent call check ins and they're with you in person at viewings and all majors moments. We are incredibly grateful and cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Bonnie, Kelly and Terri! We love Tandem! read more

Bonnie and Kelly were the absolute best team to work with during our house search! My husband found them through a Google search, and we feel so grateful we found them! They have so much knowledge about the neighborhoods and market, guiding us at every step of the way as first time buyers. They gave us solid advice during the offer process and connected us with a great local team for our loan and inspection. They were so attentive to our (many) questions! Bonnie and Kelly - we can't thank you and your team at Tandem enough for helping us during this process! read more

Bonnie Ramsey and Kelly Lombardi were truly incredible! We were looking for a house in Maplewood/SO while still living many states away, and they went above and beyond and then some more to help us find our home. They were recommended to us by family members, and they exceeded every expectation. Finding and buying a home while coming in from out of state was a tricky endeavor, and the expertise and kindness they brought to every step were a huge factor in us ultimately securing a home we're thrilled we get to live in. They patiently and thoroughly answered all of our many, many questions and also helped us think through the questions we didn't even know to have. They both have incredible fonts of knowledge and warmth that are the perfect combination for getting through this process successfully. You cannot go wrong with this team. read more

Amazing, professional, and spent the time to get to know ME and understand my needs! Highly recommend if you are looking for a solid team to find you your forever home! read more

Bonnie and Kelly - the Tandem - are extremely thorough, and they know the market very well. They always went the extra mile with everything, such as arranging follow-ups to the home inspection and private tours of homes for sale. PLUS, they are pleasant and patient and kind. We are certainly glad we worked with them, and think you should as well. read more

As 1st time home buyers, we could not imagine anyone else as our realtors. We met Kelly at an open house and hired her soon after due to her wealth of knowledge of the area, and the advice she gave us. (They called the final sale price of every house we looked at). There is no way we would have secured our home without their suggestions that put us over-the-top. I hope we never leave our dream house, but if we do - they will be our first call. read more

If you are moving to the Maplewood NJ area, you MUST work with the Tandem team! They came recommended by a coworker of mine who had recently bought a house through them, and from top to bottom they did not disappoint. From the immediate, warm response I got to my initial inquiry to the informative video call a day later, to a driving tour of the Maplewood area to the MANY house tours they took us on to the multiple offers they drew up for us during this extremely competitive time, Bonnie and team remained extremely positive, patient and supportive.Their deep knowledge of the housing market and ins and outs of the entire buying process was evident every step of the way. We found an incredible home with their guidance and we feel extremely lucky to count Bonnie, Kelly and Susie as new neighbors -- with all of their extremely helpful Maplewood area tips and recommendations. Thank you, Tandem team! read more

Bonnie, Susie and Kelly are amazing and made the entire process stress-free. We initially chose to work with them because of their knowledge of the local market and were so happy we did. They were always available to answer our questions, were very knowledgeable about the entire process and provided great recommendations for an attorney, lender and other service providers. We look forward to continuing to work with them in our future home purchases or sales. read more

Wonderful experience using TandemNJ, I highly recommend them with more than five stars. Bonnie was recommended to me through an old high school friend. Bonnie, Kelly and Teri made an impossible task, selling our childhood South Orange, NJ home, not just bearable, but pleasant. Bonnie and Kelly were very professional and particularly kind during this emotional process and it is clear that they love what they do. They know the area well and they know where the potential buyers are. They helped us secure a loan for some cosmetic upgrades. They worked with the contractors, staged and listed the house, and they even found us a real estate attorney. Because I live out of state, I had to trust them. I handed them the keys and let them run with it, but they kept us in the loop on everything. The house was listed for only a week before we got offers and it sold above asking. read more

When we began our home buying search, I was browsing a local town Facebook thread about recommended realtors in the area. Tandem's name came up again and again. I am so glad we listened to the recommendation. We could not have been happier with our experience. From the initial call to our close, we found Bonnie (our agent at Tandem) to be incredibly warm, knowledgeable, organized, responsive, and helpful. Whenever we had a question, she was able to get us a quick answer. Her knowledge of the area and of all the details of homes/home buying also really stood out. We also appreciated how helpful the entire team was in following up with quotes, inspections, and organizing all the many dates/apts. We are now in a home we love, in a neighborhood we love and have Tandem to thank for how smooth the process went. read more

We had a wonderful time working with Kelly and the Tandem Group to purchase our home in Maplewood. Kelly worked closely with us to understand our priorities and while touring homes we appreciated the different details and considerations she would point out. As a Maplewood resident she knows the neighborhood and market very well and helped us to develop a strategy in a very competitive market. Throughout the closing process the Tandem Group continued to provide recommendations for inspectors, contractors, and anything else we needed as we prepared to move into our new home and we felt fully supported throughout the entire process. Thank you Kelly and team for helping us find our dream home! read more

Tandem was the best in helping us find our new home. We picked them after we visited an Open House that Kelly and Bonnie were hosting and loved everything about how they presented the home and themselves. They obviously knew what they were doing and were so much more genuine than everyone else we'd encountered. We were casually looking at the time and didn't have an agent, and we could tell they'd put the same effort in for us as buyers as they did for this seller. We didn't buy that house from them, we had zero regrets in choosing them because they helped us find our dream house. They were fast and really on top of everything. We knew almost nothing about the process, but they took care of everything. They worked through everything with us from making sure all was in order logistically and giving advice on what we should do and what to expect and what was normal and not normal. I'm not even sure we needed our attorney to be honest. Kelly, Bonnie, and Susie were all amazing. And Julius too! The whole team made this crazy process work out exactly as we'd hoped. read more
