ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of working with Claudia to purchase a multifamily property in Bergen County. She was tenacious in her efforts and really committed to finding us the right home. She was patient, kind, and down to earth in addition to teaching us a great deal. We told her exactly what we wanted (and we wanted a lot), and she helped us find the perfect home! We appreciated how clear her communication was and everyone that she put us in contact with was amazing and efficient. Thank you, Claudia and team, for making this home buying process as stress-free as possible!

ZillowVERIFIED We kept hearing how tough the market was and how impossible it would be to buy a house. But the truth is, most people are just missing one thing: Nancy. She and Raf are the dream team. They helped us craft the most compelling offer, and it worked - our very first bid was accepted. In Montclair, no less. Their strategy, guidance, and support were unmatched. If you're buying a home, don't waste time.. work with Nancy and Raf. They made what felt impossible feel easy.

ZillowVERIFIED We had an amazing experience working with Nancy Chu as our realtor. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and helped us craft a smart, competitive offer that ultimately got us the house we wanted. From our first visit to closing, she guided us through the entire process in just five weeks and never missed a beat. Nancy constantly checked in on us, made sure we felt supported, and always had our best interest in mind. Her professionalism and calm confidence made a typically stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Wed absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in New Jersey.

ZillowVERIFIED There are so many good things to say about our experiences of buying and selling a home with Nancy Chu that I'm not sure which one to start with. We first met Nancy through a recommendation of a friend, which says a lot. We bought our home with her about 5 years ago. She artfully negotiated the purchasing price down, owing to extensive repair work needed. Five years and a different housing market altogether, Nancy very strategically set the asking price of our house, when we put it on the market, to encourage market engagement, and boy did we get it! Leading up to the open house, we needed a little bit of staging, so she and her team completely arranged it. She had multiple team members supporting the open house to ensure all prospective buyers questions would be answered. After the open house, Nancy helped get the best offer for us. We had numerous offers, quite a few that were all cash. While this has a lot to do with the house, location, and market, it was clear that Nancy knew how to price the house to generate this interest, and that she had the experience to advocate for our interests and successfully negotiate with the various buyers. She even made sure we had a backup offer just in case. Her team ensured a smooth closing by arranging the CoO with the town AND found a home for a piano. Nancy has tons of experience, is savvy, smart, and is an incredibly capable and competent agent. Her team is staffed with knowledgable, hard working professionals who have high standards. I'm so glad we worked with Nancy because selling our house with her was flawless.

ZillowVERIFIED Vishal is the best! I highly recommend working with him. He was our agent when we purchased our home. His local knowledge is exceptional as he helped us navigate Montclair's (often confusing) market. He is incredibly responsive and helped us find a home we love within just 1 month, as we were working on a tight moving schedule. He also has a lot of contacts in the local area for any renovations or work that might need to be done. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Vishal Poddar from Nancy Chu homes in our search for a new home. From the very start, his exceptional customer service stood out. He was attentive, responsive and always went the extra mile to ensure that we found the perfect property. One of the things that really impressed us was his in-depth knowledge of the local property market. He took the time to understand our specific requirements and only showed us properties that matched our criteria. As a result, we never felt like we were wasting our time viewing properties that weren't suitable. Throughout the buying process, Vishal was always on hand to provide expert guidance and support. Whether it was negotiating the price or dealing with any issues that arose, he was proactive, professional and always had our best interests at heart. We are now the proud owner of a beautiful new home and we couldn't be happier with the service we received from Vishal and his team. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property. He is really a five-star estate agent. To your success Vishal!

ZillowVERIFIED Finding my first home with Nancy was a delight! I'm a brand new home owner and after years of renting, I decided to take the plunge and close on my own house. Nancy is not only a professional and expert in her field; but she and her husband has gone above and beyond to counsel, guide and ease me throughout the process. Nancy and Sam are wonderful, trust worthy people, with great connections that will hand hold you throughout finding your dream home. Highly recommended and incredibly grateful to have her and Sam be part of such a happy memory in my life :)

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy is not only an incredible realtor but incredible person. She truly cares about her clients and making them feel comfortable. I greatly benefited from her knowledge and network of incredible folks that helped with every step of the home buying process. I can be anxious and have a lot of questions. Nancy was always responsive and knowledgeable. Simple, Nancy Zerin should have 6/5 stars!

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy was awesome! We are moving from out of state and she was very knowledgeable and helped with virtual tours and really guided us through the whole process. She helped us put together a whole team of great people, from the person who did our inspection all the way to giving us daycare recommendations! We felt that Nancy was a true partner and made sure we were not only in the right house, but that our move and transition was as easy as possible.

ZillowVERIFIED I learned about Nancy Zerin through Zillow, and she is outstanding! I am in the process of down-sizing and relocating from Ohio to North Jersey to be near my daughter. Nancy could not have been more helpful - I don't think ANYONE could have been more helpful. In addition to her responsiveness and vast local knowledge, she has an inherent gift of listening and observing. She could skillfully 'play back' to me what she heard me saying when I wasn't sure myself what I was wanting among the different options. She really helped me narrow down to my final selection because of her observation of me. When she commented, "You know, you are always smiling whenever you are in this building and apartment!" I let myself relax and experience the actual joy that I was feeling while in the space that I now can call HOME.

ZillowVERIFIED We were connected to Nancy Zerin through Zillow and I believe our paths were meant to cross as she has been the perfect match for my wife and I purchasing our first home. The entire process can be overwhelming especially in the current market with fierce bidding wars and the need for creative offers. Nancy was able to help us navigate the entire process and I can't say enough good things about working with her. She is knowledgeable with data in hand, responded to all of our questions, and a great sounding board. She listens to your feedback and offers recommendations. I am convinced our offer would not have been accepted on our new home in Verona (32 other offers no less) if it weren't for working with Nancy and the benefits of having a team behind her. We consider Nancy a friend and highly recommend working with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Omgsh, where do I begin. Nancy is very professional and friendly. Her years of experience can be seen right away which put us at ease with the process.A Nancy is DRIVEN! She listened to our list of things we were looking for in a home, and she offered suggestions and valuable feedback which eventually led to us finding the perfect home. Throughout the process, Nancy was attentive, responsive and extremely hard working. More importantly, she was present to make sure it was a smooth transition every step of the way. Not to mention, she is not afraid to get her hands dirty. During the viewings, inspection and on our move day, she rolled up her sleeves and assisted. We are 100% satisfied with our experience with Nancy.A A Nancy you ROCK!

ZillowVERIFIED The easiest thing I did in 2021 was purchase a home, and that is because my realtor was Nancy Zerin. She is knowledgeable and kind, she made the experience from start to finish absolutely seamless. She also referred me to an excellent inspector and lawyer, I put my trust in her 100% and she did not disappoint. I will be very happy in a home that is perfect for me thanks to Nancy!

She totally had our backs throughout the process, making sure all our questions were answered and ensuring any concerns were addressed right away. She also made great recommendations in terms of local professionals with specific expertise (general inspectors, home insurance, septic service, etc.) etc. I would gladly work with her again and would recommend her without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy and her team (Raf, Danielle, Maureen specifically who we worked with) were wonderful to work with to Sell and Buy in Glen Ridge. We reached out to sell the home they helped us buy in 2017 to be able to buy and upgrade to the house next door in 2021. Nancy is so knowledgeable about what is happening in the market and helped us understand what was realistic. Having never sold a house before, she and the team were incredibly helpful guiding us through the entire process. Always available quickly via text, phone and email we always had our questions answered immediately. They also kept us updated in real time, calling in advance to give heads up on information that would be sent by the lawyers, but wanting us to know it was coming and understand what it was about. Nancy and team are truly the best in Essex County! Highly recommend for either buying or selling!

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy initially helped us buy our home, and several years she helped us sell the same home. Nancy and her team provided valuable advice and services to make the process seamless. Nancy was always available to explain process, tackle questions, and relay information to the buyer's team, ultimately resulting in a successful transaction within a very tight time frame. I would highly recommend Nancy and her team for all real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIED If you want a brokerage that will get the job done right- go with Nancy Chu and her team. We had to relocate from New Jersey to Florida and needed to get our house sold. Nancy got our house staged, on the market and sold ,over asking, in just a few days. It was an awesome experience. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Nancy took the time to get to know us as a family and helped us find the perfect spot for us while always being truthful and honest throughout the journey.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot say enough about our excellent experience working with Nancy Chu! About seven years ago, we retired and began looking for a new home. Nancy has been unfailingly positive, supportive, informative, encouraging, and amazingly patient. With her expert assistance and guidance we won the bid for our perfect new home and sold our beloved longtime home in a neighboring community. Nancy and her team were extraordinarily skillful, savvy, and energetic in staging and marketing our former residence. In addition her team has gone above and beyond the call of duty in giving helpful advice and assistance in settling into our new home. We highly recommend Nancy and her entire team!

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot recommend Nancy highly enough. She helped my wife and I buy our first home. As first time homebuyers, we didnt know much about the process and all the things we needed to be wary of. We looked at countless homes with Nancy and she was so happy, patient and knowledgeable. When she finally showed us the house we purchased, Nancy guided us through the whole process, making sure everything was taken care of. This was no normal transaction, there was a buried oil tank, a cracked septic tank (discovered during inspection), and all sorts of other things that popped up along the way. Nancy handled everything so professionally and kept our minds at ease. Nancy is simply the best.

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy is hands down the best buyer's agent one could ask for. We were first time home buyers and were super nervous about navigating a housing market that we had no clue about. She walked us through every step of the buying process and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that we had on properties we were looking at. She helped us strategically navigate this hot seller's market and showed us how to put together offers that would make us contenders. She was with us from start to the end of the process, is super reliable and honest. If we buy/sell another house in the area in the future, we'll definitely do it with Nancy again!

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy was a true blessing. As a first time homebuyer with no experience with the process at all, she calmly walked me through every step and was by my side the entire time, advocating for me along the way. Her advice was not only sound and knowledgeable but I'm certain its what made my offer stand apart from the rest. I cannot thank her enough for her professionalism and friendship.

Review for Member: Nancy Chu
ZillowVERIFIED Nancy and Raf assisted us with selling our home and buying a new one, but due to the pandemic, a lot of personal logistics got skewed from the housing market volatility. Personally, this concerned us, but it did not change their approach and they were versatile to the changing markets, which showed miles from seasoned veterans during a stressful few months as they provided proper guidance along the way. Both Nancy and Raf know the markets extremely well and understand every intricate of selling/buying point of view, including making excellent contractor recommendations, to this day. As we found Nancy and team on a whim, it was the best decision to work with them exclusively.

They continued to provide advice well after we were under contract and navigating the inspection process. Highly recommend!

They did a great job working in tandem with my attorney to move through the process fairly fast. I strongly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIED Nancy is a sorceress and if you dont hire her, you are nuts. We hadnt even done our taxes, let alone been preapproved for a mortgage, but, for giggles, I called the general Trulia number on a Saturday, was connected to Nancy and Raf, and by Wednesday had an accepted offer on a perfect house we didnt even know we wanted, in one of the most competitive housing markets in the country. I had heard stories from friends who had made 14 offers or looked for a year or payed 30% over asking price. We got our house for probably 10% less than it should have gone for and below our own budget. It wasnt luck. It was Nancys creative thinking. If you want someone who will make it happen for you with no nonsense, call these guys. Everything about our home purchased was easy. As first-time home buyers who had no clue what we were doing, I knew we were in good hands. We are thrilled with our home and totally in love with Raf & Nancy.

Very thoughtful and professional. She has a wide connection and provided some contact to some contractor and attorney just like her, as kind and patient as she is. Overall, an amazing home buying experience, and would strongly recommend her to be your agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Cant say enough about Rich and his team, including Nancy. We were first time home buyers in a very competitive market- Rich not only provided excellent advice, but he knew all the tips and tricks to win in a multi offer situation. He always told us what we needed to do to win, but never pushed us to make a decision we werent comfortable with; he always truly kept our best interest at heart. Rich is smart, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and is genuinely invested in his clients.

ZillowVERIFIED As luck would have it, we were connected to Reggie after clicking on a random listing on Zillow and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help steer us through an incredibly aggressive [Sellers] market as first time home buyers. Reggie was the perfect realtor for us. He helped steer us to the right neighborhood for our price range, was very safe during all of the showings (which during a pandemic, is a must) and was an expert negotiator when it came to submitting our offer. Following offer acceptance, Reggie was there to help navigate all the ins and outs of closing, including connecting us to our eventual lawyer and the businesses that handled various inspections. Hopefully, we'll be in our new house for years to come but if there was ever a situation where we needed another realtor, Reggie would be our only choice.

ZillowVERIFIED When we first moved from our apartment in NYC to NJ, Nancy was the one who spent endless weekends driving us around finding the right neighborhood for our family and then eventually finding our perfect home. You don't use the same realtor to sell your house as the one who found it in the first place, unless you absolutely loved the process and trusted them.Nancy is the best in class. The knowledge, experience and the wholesomeness you get with Nancy and Raf is unmatched.You could not have anyone representing you better then them.

ZillowVERIFIED I am not sure if this is more of a testimony than a review. I can say that Nancy was a blessing to work with to find me, my wife and family our home. She is the most hard working, dedicated, and caring person. She made the home buying process seamless while having the challenging task to do it during the COVID-19 pandemic. She took every precaution to make sure we were safe during open houses by bring us masks and disinfectant. I couldnt wish for a better person than her. When things got tough she was there to bring us up and always encouraging us that there will be more homes. She will always be in our hearts and waking up to our home will remind us that she will always be part of our story. Thank you Nancy!

She more recently found me an excellent apartment to live at now that I am back from Ga. and living in Bloomfield.I have found her to be very professional, creative and insightful.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time home buyer, I had no clue what to do and how to move forward. I had some experience with Chu and Baldwin with the selling of my first marital property. As I was going through the process with another agent, I thank God, I requested a knowledgeable and professional person like Nancy. She was able to find a multitude of homes within my budget and desired areas. With Nancy's help, I was able to find the right home at the price I was looking for, and she was able to negotiate a substantial amount of credits toward the house for repairs.I believe that Nancy's goal is to make sure that you are satisfied with your findings. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone, and she's a true professional and a good friend.
