Tell Us Your Story

We had a great experience working with Rich.

He is very patient, responsive, and cares about his clients and their needs. From the first time we connected via Zillow to our ultimate purchase in Florham Park, NJ, Rich was an excellent source of knowledge about the area (East Orange, West Orange, Florham Park and others), he was proactive in connecting with the sellers' agents, timely in his feedback to us and continued to look for properties that would meet our needs. He was also instrumental in getting us in touch with our local real estate attorney, he worked tirelessly with our lending organization and effectively guided us through the entire process. He even went over and above by helping us with moving our cars from Texas to New Jersey, he personally worked with the moving company on taking delivery, which was a huge help that cannot be truly captured with words. We highly appreciate everything Rich did and continues to do and would highly recommend him. If and when we are ready to go through this process again, we would most definitely be reaching out to Rich. Thank you Rich, much appreciated.

Carol was an absolute pleasure to work with.

After over 2 years of looking and several agents, Carol was the one who got the deal done! She has great knowledge of the NJ communities of interest, great relationships with other agents, was flexible with my hectic schedule, always responsive, and communicative. She had a great relationship with the sellers agent and helped to negotiate several details. She was on top of all the details of the close from offer to even post close with what was need for utilities and community details. I would recommend Carol to anyone!

0 05/24/2021 - user202058 Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Morris Plains, NJ. Local knowledge Process expertise Responsiveness Negotiation skills We had such a wonderful experience with Rich Mair. He found us our forever home after looking at so many houses. He was very helpful in picking the house that was perfect for our family and had a nice yard for our son to play in. We thought we found a home until realizing it needed more work than we could handle as first home buyers. He was patient in helping us find the best home for our families needs. We are so happy in our new house and thankful to Rich for his professionalism and patience. Highly recommend his services.

I had the pleasure of working with Carol when I sold my condo.

I had moved a distance from the location of the property and was impressed by Carol's willingness to help out when needed, so she could save me the trip. This along with her kindness and professionalism makes it very comfortable for me to highly recommend her services.

It was such a pleasure to work with Carol when buying our first home!

We had never gone through the experience and she helped us out every step of the way. After narrowing down our search and thinking we found “it” online, we booked a showing with Carol. When scheduling the appointment, she had suggested to look at a few more for properties for reference, since we would already be in the area. And what would you know - one of those added to the list for reference was “it”! With Carol’s extensive contacts, we were able to assemble a great team including our lawyer and mortgage broker to make the process as easy as can be. Those are just a few from of a long list of many reasons to have Carol as your realtor - her experience and expertise is what led us to find our perfect home!

Carol was amazing to work with.

She listened to what we needed and wanted in house and was urgent about getting us in those homes to view. She was available and accommodating when we had questions and needed to discuss what we were thinking during each step of the process. If you are looking for a realtor that will advocate for you and keep the process moving, we highly recommend working with Carol. She knows the market, different areas and is very knowledgeable. We started working with Carol September 2020 and closed on our home at the end of October 2020. God blessed us with a great realtor to help us get a home that fits our family. Thank you Carol!

Highly likely to recommend I found myself in a situation with a family home that was now being rented.

I called a realtor and his vision and interest was not there. I decided to call Jordan Baris (the company we used to buy this home) and received a call from a friendly voice who immediately told me not to worry. The situation was difficult and required someone who was knowledgeable, level headed and knew how to deal with difficult people. She truly cares about people and did everything to turn this situation around. It resulted in the home finally selling for much more than the first person I called. I will always be grateful to Blossom for her kindness, strength and determination. I consider her friend and would recommend her to anyone who needs more than a realtor. Thank you Blossom.

We had a great experience finding our new home with Carol.

It's been a very tough market and we kept changing out search criteria, moving from town to town. Carol is very kind, patient, and prompt about scheduling and showed up early at each house. She pulled reports for each town to help us make more informed decisions. We never felt overly pressured, she seemed to have our best interest at heart. Thank you for being a great partner!

Mina & Justin

Carol is the one you want to assist you when purchasing or selling.

She listed our home and we had an offer within four days. She is a pleasure to work with. Superbly qualified in her craft, she has all the necessary resources to make selling or purchasing a home as hassle free as one can make it. From repairs to staging to closing; she is on-top of it. Thanks Carol!

"My experience with Jamilla Walker was long and drawn out due too no fault of her own, but Mrs.Walker worked on my deal too the best of her ability. Sometimes going above & beyond the call of her title.Her help and knowledge of the business allowed me too get through this process with ease. She is someone who maintained professionalism and the intergrity of the buisness relationship through out the lenghty process."

"Jamilla Walker was my buyer's agent for a short sale in Newark, NJ. For those investors who buy short sales you know how difficult and time consuming these deals are. A good short sale cannot get done without an outstanding agent. Jamilla worked daily and diligently on this transaction and solved every problem that arose (which are plentiful in a short sale purchase). Jamilla handled all of the city approvals, interfaced professionally with the attorneys and solved all of the title issues.

I recommend Jamilla Walker to any property buyer in Newark, NJ (and the other areas she serves)."

"In my opinion, my realtor was more eager in closing her deal and making friends with the seller's agent rather than thoroughly checking all details of the purchased property. As a result, I am stuck with a house with serious plumbing issues. I have never seen corroded pipes fall apart like sand blowing in the wind. Ever since I moved in my new home, I haven't got a chance to enjoy it because I keep spending money just to fix the pipes. I wake up everyday sad and disappointed. My kids are unhappy as well. The sad part is my realtor knows that I am a single mother with one income."

"Ms. Walker, was extremely helpful and rates very high on the chart. She was very knowledgable. She showed her expertise in the geographical area we were working in. She was always available for questioning, even when she was not sure about a subject. She was quick to find the answer and get back to me. Her negotiating skills were great. I was able to get the rental price I needed. If I was to give her a grade it would have to be an A plus. She was very professional and provided the educational support I needed to make an informed decision.."

"Ms. Walker is a consumate professional. I was seeking a home in the Newark area while still living in Oklahoma. From our first encounter on the phone, Jamilla put me at ease with her honesty and knowledge of "the business". When we finallt met in person, things were not different - she was patient with driving me around to view homes and showing me the area in general. Jamilla was readily available and was instrumental throughout the entire process. Excellent work. Thanks"
