There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a New Jersey real-estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Central Jersey areas, please contact me.

If we could give Jackie an even higher rating, we would! She was with us throughout our ups and downs of selling our home in Florida, and ultimately making our purchase here in Whiting, NJ. We met Jackie at an open house in January 2025 when we looked at our first home in Crestwood Villages. We were so impressed with Jackie's knowledge of the area, her willingness to help, even though we weren't ready to buy (our home in Florida had just gone on the market) and her friendliness, we decided immediately to employ her as our local agent. As we went through the pains of trying to get our home sold in Florida, Jackie stayed in touch with us, sending us listings of homes she thought might suit our needs and directing us to areas we may have not otherwise considered. Via email, text and phone calls, she kept us updated on the local market. The Florida market had slowed considerably, and selling our home there was taking longer than expected. When we finally got an offer on our home in Florida, we contacted Jackie and she immediately got to work lining up showings for us here. Just as we were about to close on the Florida house, the deal fell through and we were back to square one. Jackie was very understanding, and again kept us up to date on local real estate. Our home in Florida finally sold in July, and once again Jackie was back at work searching for our perfect home! In short time she had numerous homes lines up for us to view. We located the perfect place for us in Crestwood Village I and closed in August. Jackie worked with us for seven months, keeping in touch through the long haul. She went above and beyond, where other realtors would probably have dropped us as a 'lost cause.' We appreciate the work Jackie did for us and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone buying or selling in the area. She works hard, keeps you informed and isn't afraid to go the distance. If you're looking for a realtor you can depend upon, Jaclyn Lebron is the person you should contact!

Matt was extremely professional throughout the whole process of finding the perfect home. He was diligent, attentive and informative. His knowledge of the real estate industry is evident. At all times his expertise helped my husband and me make the right choice. We are very pleased with Matt and his team.

Kim was the best. Always available, always moving the process, always professional. Plus her vast experience was priceless for the success we had with my sale. Would highly recommend.

Moving is stressful. James remained professional and positive even when I had multiple meltdowns. He knew the area well and how to market the home and got it sold quickly . He was understanding of our wants in a home and never made us feel like we had to settle.

James was the best realtor we could hope for. He was extremely knowledgeable and we really felt like he was looking out for our best interest. He was extremely patient and went above and beyond. As first time homeowners, he made the process as painless as possible and really helped us understand what to expect.
