FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Make sure to get pre approved 1st! Getting an understanding of your finances and what you can afford is crucial.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Look at your homes from the eyes of a buyer, be subjective and realistic on how others will perceive your home on the market.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I work with all types of sellers (traditional sales for trading up or down and those facing hardship with foreclosure or divorce) , buyers (1st time, second home or savvy buyers) and investors (who are looking to sell their rental properties or flips) as well as executors who need help selling an estate home.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I recently helped a client sell their home so they could transition to an independent assisted living facility. They had lived in the home for over 25 years and were grateful with the advice I gave them about pricing and marketing their home. They were also very appreciative of the attention to detail I gave to ensure they had smooth transaction. I loved helping them through what could have been a stressful situation to an easy transaction and into a new phase of their life.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I originally started as a junior loan officer when I graduated from Rowan University with a degree in economics. While I love numbers real estate was always more fascinating to me. 2 years later I took my customer service skills and changed professions to become a full time real estate agent in 2008 and never looked back!
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I am a Broker Associate in the State of NJ which means I went for additional education and testing to receive the highest level of real estate licensing. I also have a degree in economics, have a background in mortgages and have recently completed the Certified Residential Specialist Designation which is held by only 3% of national Realtors.

Found Kyle through the random Zillow assignment while just beginning the home buying process with my fiancA(C), and couldn't have gotten any luckier. He helped with every step in the process and didn't force us into any decision we weren't comfortable with. He was available for anything we needed at the drop of a hat and fought for us during negotiations, despite not being the listing agent. I'd definitely recommend Kyle to a family or friend in the area looking to buy.

Great. He helped us find homes catered to our asks and learned what we liked and disliked to help narrow down our search. Would recommend working with him to anyone.

Schanel was a pleasure to work with. This was our first experience with a Co-Op property and Schanel went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and stayed in close contact. At times it was a stressful process, but it was great to have Schanel in our corner. I would recommend selling or buying with her!

Michael was on top of my purchase transaction from the start. He dealt with sellers being out of the country and kept me posted at every step. His professional interactions with the Seller agent, legal teams were excellent. When I had various questions he came back with answers or kept me updated on getting the answers. Also he assisted in the home inspection process which went smoothly. My knowledge of this area is far greater than his, but we worked together to progress, and collectively nothing slipped through the cracks. ie. He didnt need to sell me on location. HIGHLY recommend working with Michael, and Ive been through a dozen or more personal experiences both selling and buying. 5***** without hesitation. B
