ZillowVERIFIEDBuying our first home was a huge milestone, and were so grateful to have had Amy to guide us through the process. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive. As first-time buyers, we had plenty of questions, and she always took the time to explain things clearly and honestly, which gave us a lot of confidence. Amy consistently went above and beyondaEUR"making themselves available when we needed them, moving quickly to schedule showings, and offering thoughtful advice that truly helped us make the right decisions. We always felt like we were in good hands and that our best interests were her top priority. Thanks to Amys dedication and expertise, we found a home we love and had a great experience along the way. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone, especially first-time homebuyers looking for a realtor they can trust!

ZillowVERIFIED We had the pleasure of working with Marco Formosa from Lois Schneider Realty in the Summit, NJ area, and we highly recommend him. As first-time homebuyers, my spouse and I were full of questions and a bit nervous, but Marco was patient and thorough in answering everything. He genuinely had our best interests at heart, setting up home tours based on our preferences, even as they evolved over time. Heres a quick breakdown of what made our experience so great: Expert Knowledge of the Local Market: Marcos understanding of the Summit area and surrounding neighborhoods was evident from the start. He provided key insights into market trends and helped us pinpoint the best locations based on our lifestyle and budget. His predictions on home prices were spot on, and his advice helped us make informed, confident decisions. Highly Respected by Peers: We toured nearly 70 homes, and every time we mentioned Marcos name to a seller's agent, they responded with glowing praise: aEURoeOh, I know Marco. Hes fantastic. Youre in great hands.aEUR? It was reassuring to hear such consistent, positive feedback from other real estate professionals, showing just how well-regarded Marco is in the industry. Top-Notch Communication & Responsiveness: Marco was always available when we needed him, whether by phone, email, or textaEUR"even late at night. He walked us through every step of the process and made sure we fully understood every detail, which was especially important when it came to contracts and offers. Strong Negotiation Skills: When we found our dream home, Marco went above and beyond to secure the deal, even convincing the seller to accept our mortgage-based offer when they initially preferred all-cash offers. His negotiation skills and advocacy for our best interests made us feel confident at every stage. Personalized, Caring Approach: Marco took the time to understand our specific needs and preferences. He treated us as individuals, not just another transaction. His care and attention to detail made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and caring real estate agent in the Summit area, we cant recommend Marco Formosa enough. Thank you, Marco, for everything!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a fantastic experience working with Sara. She was incredibly attentive and always responsive, no matter the time or day. Her deep knowledge of the neighborhoods we explored gave us great confidence throughout the process. She took the time to truly understand our familys needs and preferences, and consistently showed us homes that aligned with what we were looking for. She was also very organized, making the entire experience smooth and as easy as can reasonably be expected. She had very good recommendations for lawyers, contractors, lenders, inspectors and others who were very high quality and helped make the process a bit easier. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and professional realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED We can't recommend Cynthia highly enough! She has been our trusted guide through every major real estate milestone, helping us buy two homes & representing us in the sale of our first home. Her deep knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and strategic insight were invaluable every step of the way. What truly sets Cynthia apart is her warmth, generosity, and time she willingly gives to her clients. Working with Cynthia never felt transactional & she is so much more than our realtor -- she is at the center of the Summit community with an incredible gift for connecting people and building community. If you're buying or selling in the area there is absolutely no one better!

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia is, by far, the best Realtor my husband and I have ever worked with. She is always so enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable and just a pleasure to work with! We've now been through 5 transactions with Cynthia and she just gets it all around - the area, the market, working with all personalities - the delicate balance between a homeowners' privacy and the need to open your home to ensure the best results - really, she is just THE best in the business. We highly recommend working with Cynthia Baker - you won't find a more experienced, positive, and wonderful person to work with when you are buying or selling your home.

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia Baker is the BEST in her field, hands down. She knows the market intimately, has tremendous support from her office and team, and is professional, personable, patient, and efficient. In a two day time frame, Cynthia and her team from Lois Schneider Realtors evaluated our home, agreed on listing price, and marketing strategy. A photographer and marketing analyst / writer visited our house on day 2, and at end of day had a complete marketing brochure with accompanying copy to got with the beautiful pictures and layout. Cynthia guided us on a sales/marketing strategy, and she arranged 23+ showings in three days. We were fortunate and sold the house that first weekend with multiple offers. She was also extremely helpful with getting our house ready, with miscellaneous code and inspection issues handled promptly by her group of outside contractors/experts. Could not have asked for a smoother nor stress free transaction when dealing with Cynthia.

ZillowVERIFIED ?? Today we want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing realtor agent, Jennifer ! Your hard work, dedication, and expertise in helping us find our dream home does not go unnoticed.

ZillowVERIFIED The word aEURoerealtoraEUR? doesnt adequately describe the job Marco does. In helping us find our dream home in Summit for over six months, Marco was our local expert, trusted advisor, master in every stage of the home buying process, and, above all else, a friend. While Marco never pushed us toward or away from a home, he was *always* there at the drop of a hat to help provide information, advice, send listings, or visit a home and provide unbiased feedback. Without Marco, the already stressful experience of unsuccessfully bidding on multiple homes would have been unbearable. With Marco, however, the experience was smooth, professional, and, in the end, hugely rewarding. I would recommend Marco without reservation to anyone buying a home in Union, Essex, or Morris Counties. Thank you for everything, Marco.

ZillowVERIFIED Marco is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He knows NP (where I bought) and the surrounding areas well and provided all information I needed in order to make my decision including community, taxes, transportations, renovations, etc. Marco knows the market very well and was able to provide professional and accurate estimate of the market price of the property when I put the offer. He was responsible and super helpful during inspection step. He even looked for waterproofing to come in and quote the repair for me when I was not able to do that in time. He planned things ahead of time, patiently guided me through the purchasing process. He responded to email and messages quickly too. I highly recommend Marco to anyone who is in the housing market looking for a realtor agent to help you.

ZillowVERIFIED Amy is an excellent, knowledgeable agent, helping me buy and sell homes this year. When selling my home, Amy's expertise and outstanding marketing skills, with the support of the entire Lois Schneider team, resulted in 4 good offers on my home, all over asking price even as the market was softening. Her negotiation skills and rapport with other agents gave me the information I needed to accept the best offer for me, resulting in a seamless, smooth transaction with no surprises. When buying my home, Amy's knowledge of the local market and tracking of new listings, helped me purchase the home of my dreams. She responded quickly to all of my inquiries and was persistent yet respectful with the other agents she worked with. Amy provided me with the relevant information to make the best offer, resulting in my offer being accepted in this extremely competitive market. Both transactions went smoothly with no surprises, due to Amy's knowledge, expertise and excellent communication skills. I highly recommend Amy and the Lois Schneider team.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling your home can be an emotional process, full of hopes, expectations and anxiety. Sara made the process smooth and easier. She has a market sense from years of experience and executes with a personal familiarity of each step. She provided assistance all through the preparation, listing and showcasing of our very unique home. She went beyond listing a property, making suggestions, assisting in finding handymen, movers, and coordinating a process that would have been difficult without her

ZillowVERIFIED Sara was a terrific agent. She clearly understood the neighborhood and more importantly the current market. She made the whole process seamless and got us more for our home than we expected. From beginning to end, she was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns and made sure that we had all our ducks in order, in the nicest way, in the lead up to closing. We can confidently recommend her as a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Having been recommended to check out Sara Parker Henderson by a New York realtor and another realtor who was moving to the Summit area who used her services to find a house, I found their recommendation to be spot on. Within five minutes of meeting Sara, my instincts were that she would be the perfect realtor to sell our home, even though I had a longstanding friendship/relationship with another. I waited to hear her presentation before solidifying my decision and she proved to be fantastic. Sara has a wonderful demeanor. She is calm, thoughtful, and experienced, even paying attention to details for home photos. I saw what a difference her supportive team makes when I compared my photos to other listings, read the write-up proposed for my home, and saw the beautiful brochure that prospective buyers could take away with them after the Open House. Her knowledge of how to price the home, how to proceed, and who to call for services, from lawyer referrals to home services after the inspection, was extremely helpful. She communicated with us throughout the process. Sara predicted multiple bids on my home and she knew how to advise us and how to handle it. Early on in the process, my husband realized that we were smart in hiring Sara instead of trying to sell the house ourselves as he had originally wanted to do. We highly recommend Sara Parker Henderson as an ethical, professional, talented realtor who would do a super job of helping you buy or sell your home.

ZillowVERIFIED If something is working - keep doing it! We just sold our house using Sara --- for the third time. We initially met her when we came to Summit in 1995. She did a great job then when we knew nothing about buying a house. In 2000, she helped us sell our starter and buy our next home in Summit. When we were ready to sell that home this Spring, it was a no brainer as to who would be our realtor. And once again, Sara was amazing, working with us through each step of the process (and the stress) the entire way. Her recommendations clearly enabled us to close over asking. Her ethics, temperament and knowledge of the market cannot be matched. Thank you Sara! We will miss your guidance now that we have left Summit but know you will be helping others find their forever home in this special town.

ZillowVERIFIED Sara helped us recently purchase a home and we couldn't have been more pleased with her. The listing agent (and her group) were extremely unhelpful, unprofessional, and unorganized. To boot, the Seller was an extremely difficult individual to deal with. Sara handled both parties with dignity and grace when at most times most people would have thrown up their hands in disgust. She also has assembled an amazing Rolodex of accredited providers (home inspectors, landscapers, painters, etc.).Having grown up in the area, Sara knows the ins and outs of the many areas she covers. She has the local knowledge that our family so dearly sought. When we first met Sara and didn't know the area at all, she rode in the car with our family and gave us insight. Absolutely white glove.We couldn't have been more happy with Sara. She is the best realtor in the area, and it's not close. There's a reason she is as highly ranked as she is.

ZillowVERIFIED Rexy was everything I would have wanted from a real estate professional. She was always quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable and efficient at her job, respectful of client choices during the process, very adept for negotiation, and simply a fantastic person that makes the process as enjoyable as it can be. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Rexy and her team transformed my house from a place that basically stored furniture to a beautiful HGTV ready showpiece for open house. Rexy was always respectful, very professional, honest, charming, effective, and joyful. I could not recommend her more for any real estate endeavor you find yourself in! They don't get any better. My family and I are so lucky and grateful to have had her as our realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Stephanie was a wonderful realtor that helped me find the perfect house! She always gave me her honest opinion of houses and took the time to go with me to see many properties prior to the one I purchased. She didn't rush me into buying a house and ensured I wasn't settling based on the criteria and desires I specified to her. Stephanie was proactive with sending me specific MLS listings that met the criteria I was looking for and also would reach out to the other agents to get as much information on the house as possible to help me make an informed decision. She was always very responsive and quick to submit my offers based on the terms I was comfortable with. Stephanie helped me find a house for a good price in an extremely competitive market and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home- you will not be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED It doesn't get better than working with Cynthia. We bought a home in Summit NJ in the Spring of 2021 in a very competitive market. Cynthia is incredibly knowledgeable, well connected and takes the stress out of the process of finding (and securing) a new home. Cynthia made herself available early mornings, late nights (I seriously don't know when she sleeps) and I sincerely believe she always had our family's best interest in mind. She would facetime us outside of homes before properties officially hit the market, coordinate obscure requests for 3rd party estimates (landscape architects, glass companies, etc.) and helped us navigate a challenging situation during our final walkthrough. She provided incredible guidance and I really could not imagine a better realtor to partner with. By the end of our process Cynthia became our friend. If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to partner with Cynthia, you will immediately know what I mean.

ZillowVERIFIED I would highly recommend Sara as your realtor. She did a great job in selling my house from start to finish. She was exceptional beginning from getting my house ready for the sale (she provided me with all the expertise, including contractors, painter, plumbing, outdoor maintenance. cleaning and staging). Sara went above and beyond to help with the renovations required for 2 of my bathrooms, putting in the time to shop and select everything that goes into a renovation. She is very thorough and on top of every detail. She is very responsive to all questions. I completely trusted and relied on her. And my house sold for above asking price in 4 days!! Thanks Sara!

ZillowVERIFIED Sara is simply the best there is. No one knows Summit better. She knows all the intimate details of every block and lot. When you talk about the benefits of a local realtor, Sara is the epitome of what people mean. Not only that, but she is a wonderful advocate for her clients. She was personally invested in us not just finding a house for our new family, but a home, and worked around the clock through insane challenges, including the pandemic and the crazy market that resulted. We lost out on our first home due to appraisal issues, but Sara stayed with us through excruciating negotiations every step of the way, never gave up hope, and in the end found us a better home than we could have ever dreamed of, and before it went to MLS! We couldnt have gotten our home without her, and now we have a lifelong friend as well.

ZillowVERIFIED Sara has been been representing our family (since 1995) as the Listing Agent for our multi-family house in Summit. She has always been extremely knowledgeable in determining fair market rent for our rental apartments. She has always been responsive to all our calls/texts, emails, even after normal business hours. Sara is easy to talk to and eager to discuss all our questions and concerns about the rental process. It's been such a pleasure to work with her over all of these years, she is truly a very impressive realtor that will always be professional and available to help.

ZillowVERIFIED We moved to Summit from Manhattan and met Ellen (and later Aimee) by chance when we stopped into the Lois Schneider office one Saturday. Four years later, we finally made the move and Ellen and Aimee were with us every step of the way. They first helped us find a rental house as we learned more about the neighborhoods in Summit and adjusted to a different lifestyle from city living. Ellen and Aimee understood exactly what we were looking for, and they carefully curated the houses they showed us, rather than simply showing us everything in our price range. They were never pushy or seeking to rush our decision on a purchase, and they always gave frank advice about every house we considered. When we finally found the home we purchased, Ellen and Aimee knew it would be the one for us before we even looked at it. They then expertly guided us through negotiations, home inspections, and closing. And, on top of that, they have become wonderful friends. We cannot speak highly enough about Ellen and Aimee; they are a joy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and we would recommend them to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED We found out suddenly we were moving to New Jersey. We had a short period of time to find a house that would meet our needs, in a good neighborhood, with a good high school, and within commuting distance to Manhattan. Knowing nothing about New Jersey, we found Amy's local expertise to be invaluable. She was a constant steady hand guiding our home search, contract negotiation, and inspection process. We truly could not have succeeded in our move without her. Her knowledge of the local market helped us determine an offer price we were comfortable with. We were dependant on Amy to recommend a good loan officer, inspection company and a good attorney. She delivered! Everyone she referred us to exceeded our expectations. And every step of the way Amy stayed in touch and checked in to make sure our purchase stayed on track. We closed on time without a hitch! Even after closing and moving in Amy helped with recommendations and local information. Amy is truly wonderful to work with and we highly recommend choosing her as your realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED As experienced home sellers, we have learned over the years that choosing the right realtor can make or break the sale outcome. We were thrilled with our choice in Macy Egerton. In what proved to be a very challenging sellers market, we were under contract for our asking price within three weeks after receiving strong offers from three separate parties. Macy was instrumental in securing this outstanding outcome. Her data driven market insights were ultimately spot on, and she kept us constantly appraised with market developments. Indeed, leveraging Macys insights we actually increased our asking price just prior to listing and this proved to be the right decision. Macy remained extremely attentive and agile prior to and during our campaign, and was quick to course correct where needed with messaging and marketing collateral. Macy's constant presence at our house and follow-up with interested parties was thorough and timely. Under pressure, she was calm and collected and helped manage our emotions and expectations with a professional yet empathetic touch. During the third week of our sale campaign, Macy skillfully engineered and managed a competitive bid process with a number of the interested parties, and we were thrilled with the result! Without hesitation we would recommend Macy Egerton to anyone considering selling their home in the Summit area aEUR" Mark & Beccy, Summit NJ
