    It takes more than a for sale sign in the yard
or an MLS listing to sell a property. I enthusiastically recommend Lois Fein as
a highly skilled, creative, professional realtor.  If you are trying to
sell a condo or home in Northern New Jersey, you will not find another person
who will work harder for you.  She gets the job done using her experience,
dedication and a great eye for detail.  In
today’s market, a home will not sell itself and in my case, it was a bigger
challenge. The condo was vacant, I live out of state and this particular
property had received some inaccurate press that just made a bad situation
worse.  For 2 years it sat empty with little traffic, two failed offers
and a huge lack of communication between the previous realtor and me.  It
was obvious to me when I popped in for an unannounced visit and found a very
dirty apartment filled with fruit flies, streaked windows and dust everywhere,
that I had the wrong realtor. 

 

     So out of
desperation I searched the internet and luckily found Lois.  I read a testimonial about her and now I
write my own unsolicited story to anyone who will read this.  I hired Lois in September, 2009. We sold the
condo in January, 2010 – less than 90 days later.  As an out of town owner, I had to rely on
Lois to recommend and then coordinate all repairs, taking cost into account and
getting the jobs done fast and correct.  After the mini face lift she had
done to the condo, she had a professional photographer take high resolution
photos.  If only I had the before and
after pictures of what my prior realtor was putting out compared to these
breathtaking professional, magazine quality photos prepared by Sotheby’s. 
Lois recommended virtual staging vs. actual staging which saved me thousands of
dollars. Other realtors don’t even know about this process.

      Lois is very
frugal and creative with her clients’ money.  Other realtors who I
interviewed tried to talk me into spending lots of money on items that I did
not feel would be noticed.  Lois has the eye to see the potential and the
skill to market your property rather than relying on the property to sell
itself. 

 

     Once we prepared
the condo for sale, even in this terrible economy, we had lots of interest
right away.  A bonofide offer came in
less than 2 months.  Lois also proved to be a savvy negotiator.  Lois
knew all the necessary real estate rules as well as information about the Roc
Harbour rules. I think I would have lost the sale without her expertise.

 

     The only way I
can truly thank her for all that she has done for my family is to tell the
world that not all realtors are the same.  She was honest and didn’t try
to over inflate the value of the property to persuade me to sign.  In fact,
she encouraged me to take the time and read the contract and ask her questions
before we took the next step.  When you hire Lois Fein it’s a
partnership.  She treats you as if you were a long time friend.  You
will feel like her only client even knowing that there are many others. To get
the job done right, call Lois Fein.  You
will be glad you did.
