Review Gary was so wonderful to work with! He was very knowledgeable of the Mahwah area and was able to guide us with his attention to detail in what we could do to get top dollar, what buyers are looking for and what is happening in the market right now. He was also quickly responsive and personable in all of our interactions. I highly recommend working with him.

Review Garys oversight with the renting of our condo was invaluable. He provided us with honest feedback of our property and how to make it appeal to prospective tenants, maintained constant communication with us, and handled a seamless signing of the lease.

Review Gary is not only friendly and warm; but super knowledgeable about real estate in his areas. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. We took all of his great advise and benefited from all of it. He was always available for us. Got back to us right away. His firms' pictures and marketing of our home were right on point. Very professional. We wish him continued great success.

Review Gary is super helpful and very prompt in responding to our needs. He has understanding of the market and will give you honest advise on what works, what doesn't. No wonder he is the best realtor you can get in Mahwah!!

Review I do not recommend if you're in the Mahwah area. Made false promises and couldn't get the deal done in ample fime. His fees were higher than others in the area as well. When speaking with Gary, he listed my home with a 7% fee (high). The home didn't sell under him and I ended up going with another realtor who sold my home quicker and with a lower fee (5%). Bottom line I was happier elsewhere

Review Gary sold our Mahwah condo. We were under contract in five days, higher than the listing price. He has an excellent knowledge of the Mahwah market. Both he and his staff were extremely responsive.

Review Working with Gary far exceeded our expectations. We hired Gary because of his strong knowledge and understanding of the Mahwah market, however he brought so much more than that to the table. Gary genuinely cared about our needs and was personally involved from start to finish. He took our thoughts and opinions to heart and ensured that they were a part of the listing and sale process. Gary is thoughtful and down-to-earth and made an already stressful process very easy. We are thankful to have worked with him.

Review Gary is so knowledgeable and professional. He was very attentive to our needs and kept us informed every step of the way. His sound advice was priceless and he truly helped us get our offer accepted. When it was time for our inspection he assisted our inspector and helped us with hiring the needed professions to address our concerns. He walked us through every step of the process and found us the home of our dreams!

Review When my wife and I set out on our home buying adventure, we interviewed three realtors before making the decision to work with Gary. It didn't take long to realize we made the right call, and our experience with him has been wonderful in every way.Gary ticks every important box:- He is an endless wealth of knowledge both about homes in general and regarding the local market.- His reliability and responsiveness are incredible. He always replies to emails and texts faster than I expect. We always felt like we were his most important clients.- He is a genuinely friendly, patient, personable, and kind person. We are very anxiety-prone and feel a lot of stress about making big decisions, but so much of that was alleviated along the way just by feeling understood and having confidence in Gary's advice.We truly could not be happier with our experience. If and when we next find ourselves in the real estate market, we would not consider working with anyone else if Gary was available.

Review Gary is very knowledgeable and walked me through the process of buying a house in NJ, as this was my 1st time buying in NJ. Although he was a dual agent, I never got the feeling he was representing the seller only. He seemed to be fair.

Review Big shout out to Gary Silberstein for being our AMAZING realtor! Gary went above and beyond to find us exactly what we were looking for when we didn't even really know ourselves. He was extremely patient with us trying to make it out of Manhattan to see houses and was even more patient with our two year old who tagged along. Buying a house during a pandemic is not easy, but Gary made the process seamless and we couldn't be happier where we ended up. Gary is honest, personable, knowledgeable and exactly what we needed for our search. If you are in the market for a realtor, you won't be disappointed with Gary and everything he brings to the table. Thank you Gary for finding our family our dream home!

Review Gary was fantastic during the sale of our home in Ramsey, NJ. During the process he was always incredibly responsive and offered great advice throughout. Most importantly he sold our home incredibly fast and 8% over asking. I can't recommend Gary enough! Now he needs to find us a new home. :)

Review Gary always brought a positive attitude to our discussions, even when those discussions might not have been "feel good" conversations. I prefer direct speak because I would rather be well informed than just be left wondering. We contacted Gary very early in the home sale process to get his expert viewpoint on everything from paint color selection, things to fix, things to not worry about, and so on. He was on-target with all his suggestions and we can't thank him enough. After the long and tedious effort of getting our home ready for sale, it was wonderful seeing our home listed along with pictures that reminded us of why we purchased our home all those years ago. The end result - our home sold in a matter of days! We would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing a home.

Review As first time homebuyers my husband and I were looking for a realtor who would not only assist in the home buying process but also educate us on it so we could make the best and most informed decisions. Gary was a perfect person to enlist for both! He spent time up front telling ya about the process and then learning about what we were looking for - providing expert advice throughout. He was honest and up front. He was always super responsive and took our feedback well to help find the house that was a good fit for us. He gets to know his clients so that he can make the process a smooth one and efficient. Gary takes time at each showing and is patient in answering questions you may have. We ultimately found our house because Gary knew the local market, knew what we were looking for and connected us early so we would have a great chance at securing the home in an anticipated spring busy market. From showing to offer to contract through to close, Gary has been available, responsive and supportive. Even I'm the middle of this crazy pandemic - keeping us safe throughout! We are grateful to have had Gary as our realtor - he found our home in the exact location we wanted. If youre looking for someone knowledgeable, with a tremendous amount of experience and that will support you along the way, Gary is the realtor youll want to work with.

Review In 2016, Gary sold my condo. Working with Gary was an extremely positive experience. His high level of professionalism is to be commended. Gary is extremely proactive. He had my condo photographed and listed immediately after meeting with him, and hosted open houses shortly after. He kept us in the loop throughout the entire process, and always responded to our inquiries in a timely manner. From the initial consultation to the closing, Gary made sure that each step went smoothly. Recently, Gary oversaw the purchase of our new home as a team leader. As before, he did a fantastic job facilitating and being present throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with Gary if you are planning to buy or sell a home.

Review Gary is a not just a real estate agent. He is a real estate Professional. There are no roadblocks Gary cannot overcome. Faced with a challenging sale during a challenging time, Gary handled every situation with ease, professionalism and a "can do" attitude. He has respected contacts and an equally competent and pro active staff. They were not only on top of every aspect of the process, they were one step ahead.

Review Gary and his team helped me to sell my father's home. They were very sensitive and patient with the situation at hand. Their expertise, knowledge and compassion allowed me to worry about one less thing as they assumed the burden of the mundane tasks while also providing direction. They communicated with me every step of the way and provided me with multiple contacts to reach out to in case I had problems or questions. We did run into issues, not related to anything Gary's team did and Gary and his team worked diligently to help me resolve these issues. Based off of my experience here, I would highly recommend Gary and his team.

Review Gary and his team did an amazing job assisting me with what can only be described as a difficult sale and closing from all sides. We received an offer just shortly before my departure for a new job in Hong Kong and had to hustle to address punch list items, complete some remodeling work, secure inspections with the town and pack up entire home for a transatlantic move. We hit many bumps in the road including an unexpected chimney repair and water heater inspection that required coordinating contractors and a new inspection in the 11th hour. Throughout it all Gary and his team were incredibly responsive and dealt with my middle of the night texts, calls and emails. They went above and beyond to ensure that closing happened on time and in the process kept me sane! Special hats off to Bonnie O'Keefe for dropping mail off for me, meeting inspectors at 7am and calling in special requests with contractors (with a preferred discount by the way) at a moments notice. This is my 2nd time working with the Silberstein Group (1 buying/1 selling) and they are a reliable, honest and customer focused team that will make sure you are well protected throughout the entire buying or selling process.

Review Gary and his team were awesome. We live on the west coast and our house is in NJ. They were able to handle the whole process for us through paperless transactions. They priced the house perfectly and we had multiple offers at the first open house. His team was able to help us through the selling process, and take care of small issues that arose since we were not local and made the entire process less stressful. Thanks Gary, Bonnie and Jeannie, you were great!!!!

Review The Silberstein group did a very good job on the sale of our house. Gary and Bonnie were very responsive to any and all questions that we had during the process. Jeannie and Jackie did a good job at the open houses and solicited comments from individuals and brokers who came. Bonnie was very diligent in following up with prospects and brokers who came to the open houses. Gary held as many open houses as we needed and sat the first one himself. Gary was well acquainted with the area since he lived here for many years. He is very current on the technology needed to manage the listing and sale of real estate.

Review If I could rate Gary Silbersteins performance as our real estate agent with 0 stars, I would. Gary was hired to list my 79 year-old mothers Condo in Mahwah. Most of the interactions with Gary went through my husband and me. Almost from day one, this was a very frustrating and unnecessarily difficult experience. We NEVER felt that Gary was on our side. He seemed to always advocate the Buyers position. If we summarized every frustration with this agent, it would be too long to read. Gary accepted our listing, but thought the price was too high. We followed our own instincts on pricing and we went to contract soon after listing. We cancelled that contract after we learned that the Buyer had not put down the required deposit on a timely basis. We were surprised that Gary did not inform us about this. After that, Gary really pushed us to lower the price. We did lower the price a little and we told Gary we would continue to lower the price gradually if there were no offers. In a text message, Gary said aEURoeIf you went to the doctor and he said he had to amputate your leg, would you ask him to take off your foot? Then your knee? Hes suggesting taking off the whole leg. Thats what I'm doing here and we just keep dropping the price to a number that still is too high for the market. We are slowly pulling the Band-Aid off instead of ripping it off as it should be done.aEUR? We stayed with our strategy and received multiple offers shortly after going back on the market. We went to contract, and closed, with a sale price less than 2% below our original list price. Gary almost never personally attended showings, open houses, inspections, or walk-throughs. Our experience was so frustrating, I would not want to work with Gary again.

Review If anyone is looking ?? for an exceptional realtor, select Gary Silberstein. Gary added value in helping to stage my Mahwah home and to recommend many minor improvements (i.e aEURoeYou dont want to see those paving stones lifting on your front walkwayaEUR?. aEURoeThe front entrance IS your first impressionaEUR?) Most important, he SOLD my home. Its likely not a straight forward process in this real estate market. But he helped navigate and negotiate the sale to make us happy and please the buyers at the same time. Signed by a happy seller expressing her gratitude for a job well done. ?? ??

Review Sellers beware: Gary "buys listings" from his clients. He'll initially list your house for whatever price you want for your home without advising you of the market price. After your overpriced home sits on the market for 30 days, he'll come back around and try to get you to "break your price" and you'll find yourself negotiating against him. This happened to me and he eventually admitted: "I couldn't sell your house for this much if I took out a billboard ad on route 17"...would have been nice to know before listing with him. This is an unethical practice and violation of his fiduciary responsibilities to you as a seller.Really nice guy though....

Review Michelle was a pleasure to work with and we could not have been happier with the services she provided. Over the course of a year or so, Michelle showed us house after house in hopes of finding the perfect fit. We finally found a house that was within our budget and would be a great fit for our family. There were more than a few obstacles to overcome with this particular house, but Michelle was there to guide us every step of the way. We are grateful for meeting Michelle and the team at the The Silberstein Group and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Review I had the pleasure of working with Bonnie on the sale of my beloved Mahwah home. She and the rest of the incredible team at The Silberstein Group made what could have been a very stressful experience a total breeze. Bonnie in particular handled most if not all of the details with fluidity and patiently answered my questions and concerns with care. She even took my call one day from her home while sick! Not necessary! Above and beyond!We became friends (of course) and the next time I have a real estate transaction I know who I'm using and why; and Bonnie is a big piece of that decision.

Review Gary Silberstein patiently worked with me for one year before I was ready to sell my condo. His expert advice led to being under contract in 8 days and closing in only five weeks. His knowledge of Mahwah is second to none and he proved he knows the surrounding towns as well. He and the members of his team are kind and professional. If you are buying, selling, or both, you wont find a better group of people who will work to get the job done.

Review I cannot say enough good things about Bonnie. She was there for nearly every step of my sale. She always responded quickly and professionally and helped to make my sale go smoothly. She is an excellent asset to Garys expert selling skills. Bonnie was there for the photo shoot, the inspection and the walk-thru. She is personable, friendly, kind and I not only sold my condo, I made a friend along the way. Bonnie made me comfortable through every step and I can say in all honesty, that you are in good hands with Bonnie as a part of your selling team. Gary is fortunate to have her as part of his team and you will be fortunate to put your home in their very capable hands. Whether buying or selling, you are on a winning team if you trust your home to them.

Review Gary has a wonderful outgoing g personality that put me at ease when we first met. We reviewed what I needed and how he could accomplish my needs. He was knowledgeable of the area where I lived which I think was very important. His assistant Bonnie is wonderful and follows up on all potential buyers which is important to know if there was anything that needed to be changed. They are very "hands on" with their jobs. Bottom line they were able to meet my needs and I sold when I wanted. I would definitely recommend then to my friends and family.
