About John Schwartz

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Realtor®/Sales Associate

I have spent the majority of my professional career as an entrepreneur in the executive search industry and for the past 6 years, as a REALTOR®.  Edgewater has been my home for the past 17 years – since I met and married Lois Fein, my wife and my business partner.  In 2002, after 25 years as a business owner in the computer industry, I joined the real estate profession.  I am an active member of my condominium association and participate in many community activities.

Using my experience and skills in marketing, negotiating and selling, I became an immediate success at Friedberg Properties, a premier real estate agency in Bergen County and an exclusive affiliate of Christies Great Estates.  While there, I earned numerous sales awards.

In 2006, Lois and I were recruited by Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, a large, prestigious and successful firm with 7 offices throughout Bergen, Hudson and Morris Counties.   I am pleased to have been one of the leading producers within Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty specializing in selling Expired Listings and FSBO’s.  I am able to bring a level of satisfaction to both buyers and sellers that is truly unsurpassed in the industry.

So, if you are thinking about selling and would like a free, no obligation, comparative market analysis, please call either of us, in confidence. On the other hand, if you are considering buying a home, I would be pleased to show you around!


Accreditations: REALTOR®, Circle of Excellence Sales Award – Silver Level, 2004, 2005, 2006, Bronze Level, 2003 and 2007.  Member of the Eastern Bergen County Board of Realtors, Education Committee and past member of the Risk Management Committee.

About Lois Fein

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

                 

Realtor®/Sales Associate      

I have spent the majority of my professional life as an entrepreneur in the computer field and for the past 5 years, as a REALTOR®.  Edgewater has been my home for the past 24 years. I am active in my community of Edgewater where I served as an elected Councilwoman for 3 years and a member of the Planning Board for the 9 previous years. I would like to think that I contributed to making our tiny town into a premier destination on the Hudson River Gold Coast.

I am President of AHOME (Affordable Housing of Metropolitan Edgewater) whose mission is to provide affordable OWNED housing to qualified families and President of the Edgewater Beautification Committee. I am proud to say that The New Jersey Association of Realtors (NJAR) honored me with the 2006 Good Neighbor Award –Third Place - for this project and that Bergen County Habitat for Humanity honored me with the Builder of Year Award for the same project that year. 

While serving the town, I became very familiar with property values and what can be done to enhance them. So when I chose my new profession, it was logical to choose real estate. As a REALTOR®/Sales Associate with Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, I have been able to utilize my knowledge of Bergen County, Hudson County, the Gold Coast condo market, my contacts and my years of sales and marketing experience to create value for my clientele. I think out of the box to find solutions to problems and have been very successful in assisting my clients to buy and sell homes.

I have teamed up with my husband, John Schwartz, also a Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International REALTOR®/Sales Associate and entrepreneur who, like me, sold his Information Technology Executive Recruitment business.  John is a great marketing professional who uses his sales expertise as well as his creativity to close deals quickly and to the satisfaction of his clients.

Accreditations: REALTOR®, ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative), Circle of Excellence Sales Award – Silver Level, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Member of the Eastern Bergen County Board of Realtors, RPAC Committee.
