    About Jeffrey Kalafut

    Jeff Kalafut is the Broker and Co-Team Leader of Pinnacle Partners Group, brokered by eXp Realty, and one of New Jersey's most trusted names in real estate. Known for his leadership, integrity, and commitment to service, Jeff has built a reputation for delivering exceptional results for buyers, sellers, and investors across Northern New Jersey. His dedication has earned him the prestigious NJ REALTORS(R) Circle of Excellence Sales Award every year since 2018 and consistent recognition as one of New Jersey's top real estate agents. Before his real estate career, Jeff spent 18 years in law enforcement with the Mt. Olive Township Police Department, where he rose to the rank of Sergeant. Following an on-duty injury in 2015, he transitioned into real estate with the same sense of duty and passion for helping people. That experience continues to shape his approach--bringing a calm, confident presence and a sharp eye for detail to every transaction. A lifelong resident of Northern New Jersey, Jeff grew up in Sussex County and now resides in Long Valley, NJ with his wife, three daughters, and their two beloved Goldendoodles. Deeply rooted in his community, he is a youth softball coach, a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Succasunna, and a supporter of numerous local sports teams. He also previously served as the Coordinator of the Morris County Police Critical Incident Debriefing Team, reflecting his enduring dedication to leadership and service. Jeff leads Pinnacle Partners Group with a clear mission: to raise the standard in real estate by providing clients with honesty, expertise, and personalized guidance. Outside of work, he can be found cheering on his daughters in their respective activities--whether it's volleyball, dance, lacrosse, or basketball--with the same energy and passion he brings to his business.

    Answered Questions

    Should I sell my house before I buy a new one?

    This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and the right approach really depends on your finances, flexibility, and market conditions. In general, you have three options: sell first, buy first, or try to time both together (the most common in our market). Selling first is the safest financially since you know exactly what you're working with and avoid carrying two mortgages, but it may require temporary housing or a rent-back agreement. Buying first gives you more control and avoids a gap in housing, but it comes with the risk of overlapping payments and requires strong financial positioning. Most people find the best balance by listing their home, getting it market-ready, and then actively shopping while timing both transactions togetheraEUR"sometimes using contingencies, extended closings, or other strategies to line things up. I've helped a number of clients successfully navigate this exact situation, and there are also loan options available that can help bridge the gap and make the process much smoother.
