ReviewIlene Horowitz, created a strong pricing strategy, arranged beautiful listing photos, and marketed our home aggressively. We received multiple offers within the first week and sold above asking. Her communication and professionalism were outstanding.

Review Ilene Horowitz is a consummate professional and an extremely attentive realtor. She went over and above to make sure we had the resources we needed to get our home sold at full asking price. She works tirelessly and is highly knowledgeable about the local housing market, adding her valuable insights throughout the process. She and her associate Rudy Riveron kept everything on track and made the process smooth. We couldnt be more pleased and highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Review Ilene and Rudy were amazing to work with. As far as I was concerned, they went above and beyond. Both were extremely communicative and the entire process exceeded every expectation. I can't recommend them enough!

Review Picking a good realtor is one of the most important steps in selling your home, and we were very lucky to choose Ilene. From helping us stage the house to negotiations to navigating the closing process and everything in between, her experience and knowledge of the Rockaway area was invaluable. She was always responsive quickly for all communications, and Ilene and her husband Rudy were always there to help, as we were selling the home remotely and couldn't always be there. The home sale process could not have gone easier, and that's because she's a great realtor. Would definitely recommend.

Review By a happy coincidence, we received a call from Ilene just before we planned to begin researching a realtor in Morris County to sell my moms condo at Fox Hills in Rockaway. Her voice was so soothing, and she was so reassuring about making the process easy, despite the laundry list of things I said I didnt want to handle myself. I told her my brother-in-law in Texas never even went to Florida to sell his moms place, because the realtor did everything, and that was what I had in mind, although we live in a nearby county. Ilene said that she and her husband/partner Rudy would take care of everything, and they meant it. Ilene and Rudy were thorough and professional, always available, understanding and kind, and so knowledgeable about Morris County in general, and Fox Hills in particular. They were wonderful with the upstairs neighbor about a minor leak, and obtained a plumber for him. They secured the preferred contractor to upgrade the security system, meeting him there when he arrived, and locking up when he left. One of them was there to let in the junk removal company employees when they arrived and close up when they left, so we didnt have to spend the whole day there, watching Moms belongings being hauled away. And all the responsibilities Ilene and Rudy accepted were particularly inconvenient (and heroic!) because shortly after we signed on with them, the Route 80 sinkhole fiasco made access to and from Fox Hills time-consuming and exasperating every single visit. When we hit an unexpected snag with the buyers finances, Ilene and Rudy advised us honestly about our options, patiently guided us through, and kept the sale on track. Their working relationships with so many other local professionals was a huge asset! Rudy and Ilene are dedicated to their clients. They are honest, hard-working, communicative, and unflappable. They are complete professionals that feel like friends/family.

Review I had an outstanding experience with Ilene and Rudy when selling my home! They were incredibly efficient, guiding me through the entire process with professionalism and ease. Not only did they secure a great buyer quickly, but they went above and beyond by coordinating the removal of unwanted furniture, saving me so much hassle. When a deal-breaking issue arose with the buyer, Ilene skillfully mediated and found an equitable solution that kept the sale on track. Their dedication and problem-solving skills made all the difference. Highly recommend Ilene and Rudy for anyone looking to sell their home smoothly!

Review Ilene Horowitz helped us to sell our home after 23 years in White Meadow Lake, Rockaway, NJ. Ilene (along with her husband Rudy) is the real deal. We knew we could trust her from the moment we met and we seamlessly came up with a plan to list our home. She was very transparent with everything throughout the process. She was proactive on everything that needed to be done and kept in contact with us continually on any details or concerns. She worked hard throughout the selling and closing process. She kept us calm which isn't easy when selling a home that holds so many precious family memories. We had many unanticipated bumps in the road and Ilene helped us successfully navigate all of them. She's a very diligent, hard worker and always wants the best outcome for her clients. We highly recommend Ilene to work with whether you're selling or buying a home.

We sold our home and moved across the country, and Ilene seamlessly coordinated the inspections, and did all the behind the scenes work to make it happen! We cant thank you enough for making the sale of our beloved home entirely stress free. Thank you Ilene & Rudy for helping us start our next chapter!

Review Ilene Horowitz recently acted as my realtor listing my home in Rockaway, NJ. I trusted Ilene from the moment we met and discussed a plan to move forward with listing my property. She was very transparent with everything throughout the process. She continually followed up with me on any details or concerns, and found the right people to address all of them. She worked hard through a difficult closing and guided the buyer's realtor throughout the process. She kept me calm which isn't easy when selling a home that holds so many precious family memories. She even rolled up her sleeves and helped when needed on moving day to assure everything went well on both ends of the transaction. She's a very diligent, hard worker and always wants the best outcome for her clients. I highly recommend Ilene to work with whether you're selling or buying a home.

Review We had a fantastic experience working with Ilene. Despite spending nearly a year searching for a home, Ilene was always patient and was more than happy to show us houses on a regular basis. Once we were under contract, she helped to simplify the process and was always accessible to help answer our questions. Her knowledge of the market gave us tremendous comfort. We would highly recommend Ilene to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Review It was a pleasure working with Ilene. She's high-energy and worked tirelessly to get potential buyers in to see my home. As a result, it sold very fast and at a price I was very happy with!She was also able to connect me with an excellent attorney and a reasonably priced cleanout service. I had to move before the closing and had several things I didn't have time to do - Ilene took care of these for me.

We came across quite a few obstacles during the closing process, and we wouldnt have made it to the finish line without Ilenes guidance, knowledge of the area, and connections. We are so grateful for everything Ilene has done to help us during this process!!!

Review Ilene is fabulous! She has a well-earned excellent reputation in the neighborhood, so when I needed to sell my house in WML, she was the person I called.From our first meeting till the day of the closing, she was always there offering her professional knowledge and experience. She not only put out every fire, but she knew how to prevent them as well. Ilene and her husband Rudy worked together to assist me through the entire process as my husband is ill and I had many special needs. They offered the perfect combination of compassion and professionalism. I could not have gone through this sale without their step by step guidance and instruction. Ilene and Rudy made this a positive and easy process and I will forever be grateful.

Review Ilene Horowitz is a consummate professional in all aspects of real estate. She is very caring and committed. This was especially important because I am a person with a physical handicap. Her character is impeccable. She stands by her promises and gives excellent advice. She knows her community well. She is not only a real estate agent but an active member of the community where she lives. Her commitment to her clients is unwavering. Doing whatever it takes to be sure that a home is sold in a timely manner. I recommend Ilene to anyone who is contemplating buying or selling a home. She lives by the four Cs ... Caring...Character...Community...Commitment.

Review Ilene is the best seller agent that I have known. She's so helpful and responsible. Because we already moved out of our house and if there is anything I need someone to take care of the house, Ilene offers to help us. Although it took us 4 offers and finally sold our house, Ilene was trying very hard to work on it and never complained. She has a very extensive local knowledge and she tried to advertise our house on many kinds of media. Thank you, Ilene! I will highly recommend Ilene to be your seller/buyer agent!! A+++++

We felt as though we were the only clients Ilene was working with. She is kind, friendly and knows the market she serves. She is a resource that we have used long past the closing of our home and we are happy to call her our realtor, neighbor, and friend.

Review Ilene is the absolute best hands down. Having already purchased a home we needed to sell our home relatively quickly. She was outstanding in every aspect of the process. Her communication and availability were top notch throughout each step of selling our home. She was very honest and straight-forward with us in helping to determine a price to list our home at. This led not only to us getting tons of action but multiple offers and a signed contract for more then we thought the home was worth within a week. Her kindness and personalized attention made what can be a very stressful process easy and virtually seamless. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Review Ilene Horowitz is Part Superhero/Part Real Estate Agent:We had many choices when we decided to put our home up for sale. Admittedly we didnt know where to start, only recognizing a few names in the White Meadow Lake Community. Among the names, aEURoeIlene HorowitzaEUR? was only that to us; just another name we recognized. In the end she wasnt just a name, and we couldnt be happier in selecting Ilene as our agent. After meeting her it was evident that she had the market knowledge and experience one would expect from an agent. With a nationally recognized name like RE/Max we knew the visibility of our listing would never be an issue. We didnt know exactly what we would get with Ilene and totally underestimated how much we would rely on her throughout our transactions. During the time we had Ilene representing us we were blown away with her knowledge, reassurance, assistance, and most of all, attentiveness. She gave us support as we staged our home for showings and walked us through all aspects of the listing, including comparisons, disclosures, offers, contracts and negotiations. Sure, these are things you expect from an agent, but Ilene excels at it! Her market knowledge was spot-on and we believe accurately reflected our homes value from the start. Any questions or concerns we had were promptly answered or resolved. So much was coordinated by Ilene that we were convinced that she never slept. Most importantly, she passed the ultimate test: my mother; a lifelong Monmouth County agent with loads of experience. It was satisfying answering aEURoeyesaEUR? to a whole bunch of aEURoedid she?aEUR? questions from my mother.We also used Ilene in purchasing our new home and she was equally as significant. Her schedule flexibility was extremely appreciated. Her insight was important in selecting our home and it was obvious from the start that she was on our team, pointing out potential issues in multiple houses we viewed. She never hesitated to make a call to the township, attorney, inspector or any agent. In the end, we are so happy with the support we got through the whole process. It was a sad decision to move out of WML, because of people in the community like Ilene. We appreciate her hard work and now thank her for our new home. Ilene far exceeded our expectations and genuinely cared in getting us to our next chapter. If you want the feeling that a friend is tirelessly helping you through the process of selling or buying a home then Ilene is the real estate agent for you.We highly recommend Ilene Horowitz as a top notch real estate agent. I'm sure youll be impressed with her dedication. Her success as a broker is proof enough.

Review Ilene was a tremendous help through out the process of purchasing our first home. We came in contact with her as she helped us on behalf of our Agent and her team mate, Barbara Tarchak in Barbara's absence. When Barbara wasn't Ilene Horowitz was able to seamlessly take over our search and follow ups on properties we were putting in offers for. They clearly communicated often and well about our progress, to the point where Ilene could talk about houses we saw in the past and even little remarks about them I had made, even though she wasn't present at the time. Both Barbara and Ilene were great and this team will make your move smooth as well.All in all our difficult process was made more manageable and even pleasant with Barbara (and Ilene) guiding us.

Review If you are considering buying or selling your home we would recommend you contact Ilene Horowitz. She at all times performs in a professional manner and her real estate knowledge of comparable sales in the area is always up to date. Having grown up in Rockaway she knows the area with its plus and minus attributes. Illene advised us what we would need to do to sell our house. We left for Florida the day our house went up for sale. Illene kept us informed of all activity and she also watched over the house for us to the extent that she checked the house after a prospective buyer went through to be sure the correct lights were off. Once a friend parked in our driveway and she called to alert us not knowing we gave them permission to do so. Illene made all the necessary inspection dates and met the inspectors at our house as we were no longer in Rockaway. She was most helpful in locating contractors to remove our furniture and prepare the house for closing. Though the selling of our house in a down market could be most stressful, Illene was a joy to work with and we were forever thankful that we chose her to be our realtor. Cho0se Illene and you will be happy you did.

Review Ilene is a rare gem amount real estate agents. I worked with her to sell my old and then buy my new house, and do not think I could have gotten a better agent anywhere. She knows the area very well - the "flavors" of different sections of Rockaway and surrounding areas. She was very quick in responding to questions and alerting me to new properties, and was always upfront on things that were good and not so good. Iene is not aggressive, but gently and respectfully assertive - she can hold her own against the most aggressive agent out there and I feel confident I got the best pricing on bothe the selling and buying end. Ilene was a delight to work with - I would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Review Ilene represented me in the sale of my house in the summer of 2011. She priced it right from the start, was a great negotiator for me, got me top dollar (considering the market), kept communication open between the buyers, attorneys and selling realtor, and was totally responsive to every tiny detail to get the home sold and closed. Ilene is a "Super-Agent" and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
