ReviewAlexa and Rob are truly a dream team! We were selling our home while buying our next one, and they made the whole thing feel easy. Their knowledge of everything real estate put us at ease from day one, and their care and support meant we never felt stressed or alone in the process. We're so grateful to them and can't recommend them enough!

Review Rob and Alexa were 100% the right choice for the sale of our condo in Little Falls. They were incredibly knowledgable about timing, pricing, staging and were very patient along the way. We met with them consecutive years before we were finally ready to move and they were never once pushy. I only wish they worked in the area we now live.

Review Alexa and Rob were on top of every step of the selling process - listing, open house, finalizing the sale, helping find a mover, a plumber, a closing lawyer, a junk removal guy, an electrician and more! The house sold quickly and for a great price. Alexa and Rob filtered through the offers and made it easy for me to understand what the options were. They were responsive when I had questions. I highly recommend this duo.

Review Rob and Team were amazing to working with. When I first contacted him he impressed me with his extensive local knowledge and fluency in macro trends in the residential market. He immediately provided accurate pricing and process guidance as the Property ultimately sold at the price and over the time period he indicated. Most importantly, his professionalism and paragmatism were calming factors as we sold our house that been in our family for 70 years. Even long after the Property sold he went out of his way to return Verizon equipment that was mistakenly left behind . Rob is the Best!

Review Rob and Alexa are exceptional real estate experts! From our first conversation (for which they were very well prepared) through the listing and open houses (very well managed by them) through the closing (successfully executed with every detail attended to), they demonstrated exceptionalism. I knew them by reputation and saw for myself why it is accurate and well earned. I recommend them without hesitation!

Review I would only recommend Van Der Wende Benavente team, they were incredibly easy to work with and were effective at what they did. I had a rental property with Tennants that needed a lot of assistance when it comes to coordination of showing times. They handled this easily and I didnt have to do a thing. I would highly recommend them.

Review Weve had the pleasure of working with Rob Van Der Wende & Alexa Benavente, and I couldnt recommend them more highly. Rob helped us buy our first home 7 years ago, so when it came time to move, we knew exactly who to call. Ive always appreciated how Rob keeps in touch over the years and hosts fun events for past and current clientsaEUR"it shows how much he values these relationships. From the start, Rob and Alexa sat down with us in person to talk through how we could get the most money for our house while also finding a new home that fit our budget and all our must-haves. Their expert guidance on staging, combined with beautiful professional photos and videos, made our home stand out in the market. Their knowledge of the North Jersey market is outstanding. Theyre proactive, responsive, and incredibly accommodatingaEUR"with the patience of saints while we had our two young kids tagging along at showings! Their strategy worked beautifully: we sold our home for $100K over asking, and the very first offer we put in on our new home was accepted. They guided us through inspections and every step of the process, always looking out for our best interests and never pressuring us. Robs calm demeanor made everything feel less stressful, while Alexas energy kept us excited and reminded us of the fun side of finding a new home. We fully trust them and wouldnt hesitate to recommend this dynamic duo to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in the area.

Review Rob and Alexa are experts in their field. They know a ton about the home buying process and were always educating my wife and I about what to look for in the different homes we viewed. They really put in the legwork and made the most stressful time in our lives much easier (and even enjoyable!). They are consummate professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house. If we ever have to buy again, they will be the first call we make!

Review I cannot recommend working with Alexa and Rob enough! They were a pleasure to work with during my purchase at The Mill. As a first-time home buyer, I was quite nervous and had many questions, but Alexa and Rob were incredibly responsive and attentive. The entire process, from viewing the first property to the actual closing, took less than a month and a half. If you are searching for a realtor in the Little Falls area, look no further than Alexa and Rob!

Review Searching for a home in todays challenging market felt like a rollercoaster ride of hope and despair. However, our real estate agents, Rob and Alexa, turned what could have been an exhausting and disheartening experience into an exhilarating and ultimately rewarding adventure. For over a year, Rob and Alexa tirelessly guided us through the daunting real estate market. Their dedication and patience were limitless as we moved from one home viewing to the next, often facing disappointment. Not once did they show frustration or impatience. Instead, they constantly provided insightful guidance, cheered us on, and reassured us that our dream home was out there. Their unmatched expertise and profound knowledge of the real estate market shone through in every interaction. They took the time to understand our needs and preferences, always offering intelligent advice and never pushing us to settle for anything less than what we truly wanted. Rob and Alexas unwavering commitment to finding us the perfect home was nothing short of extraordinary, and their positive attitude kept us motivated even during the toughest moments. Finally, we crossed the finish line and closed on our stunning house, a place we are thrilled to turn into a home. Katie and I cannot express enough gratitude for Rob and Alexas incredible support, talent, and professionalism. Their genuine care for their clients and their exceptional skill set them apart in an industry where such qualities are often hard to find. I usually dont leave reviews or give recommendations, but this experience was beyond exceptional. If you are searching for a home and want agents who will stand by you every step of the way, I wholeheartedly and joyfully recommend Rob and Alexa. They are the best in the business, and you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Rob and Alexa, for making our dream a reality. Your hard work and dedication have given us the beautiful home we always dreamed of, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

Review If it was not for the guidance of Rob and Alexa, I would not be living in my dream home right now. Their strategies allowed me to stand out from the other bidders in one of the most competitive housing markets in decades. I could not get over how smooth the process was and I could not be happier with the experience. They are truly experts in their field and know the market inside and out. Any buyer or seller would be lucky to have Rob & Alexa in their corner.

Review Rob and Alexa are as good as it gets. Not only are they incredibly patient, responsive, proactive and strategic, but they always made us feel like we were their only clients with the amount of attention they gave us and our home sale and subsequent search. They go above and beyond. Before finding Rob and Alexa, we met with some other realtors and can confidently say without a doubt that Rob and Alexa are a cut above the rest. They were able to find and secure our dream home in a daunting housing market and made the process so easy and enjoyable. There's no one we would recommend more highly than them.

Rob is extremely professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and an all-around good-hearted person. He went above and beyond in taking charge and coordinating various aspects of the sale as I was traveling and generally unavailable. There are not many people that could do what Rob and Alexa and team could do, and even if they could, they may choose not to. Thank you thank you!

Review The past year and half have been nothing short of crazy especially when shopping in the current housing market. Both Rob and Alexa from day one have made it their mission to find the house that was perfect for me and my family. They took the time to learn and understand what my wife and I were looking for as first time home buyers. With both their years of experience and knowledge of the market/ trends, Rob and Alexa were able to get crafty to allow us to stand out against other binders. Because of this we now are in the home of our dreams and made two amazing friends along the way. When shopping the market Van Der Wende Benavente Team is who you want in your corner.

They worked very quickly and had professional photographer and a videographer set up in less than a week, and helped get top dollar for our homes in this market. They were also very quickly responsive and helped make each deal as stress-free as possible. I would definitely work with them again in the future!

Review Working with the Van Der Wende Benavente Team was a pleasure. Rob, Alexa, Christy and Lisette met our challenge of selling our home quickly. They provided excellent recommendations on Service Providers who helped us get our basement cleaned out in an afternoon with no effort. They sent a team in to get our house ready to show in a very short period of time. The photographer they used was great and the pictures of our house definitely assisted in bringing people in for the Open House. Without them, we never would have met our goal of selling our home so quickly! They helped to get us to the finish line within the timeframe we had to meet. I highly recommend them as a Team that will deliver! You can't go wrong with this group in your corner!

Review Rob was recommended to me from by my broker who I had previous used before and had a great experience with so I trusted his referral.We worked Rob and his colleague, Rick to sell our existing house and purchase anew. They were both excellent and a pleasure to work with. Honest, knowledgeable, professional, flexible, kind, down-to-earth and responsive throughout the entire process. They hosted a 2-day open house (right at the beginning of COVID none the less) that, through their successful marketing and efforts, gathered almost 60 tours and received 5 full ask offers within the following 3 days with the closing price above asking. In regards to our purchase, they dedicated the time to do the research, sending us listings of interest, doing the homework on properties before viewing, and even toured some houses before we got to them, letting us know the pros/cons of each.Now, even after the close of each house, they remain available to answer questions and assist in getting information if/when needed from the previous homeowners.I would gladly recommend them for any realtor needs.

Review Rob helped us buy our first home in 2017, which we sold with him in 2019 so we could purchase our forever home! He helped us navigate a short sale in a historic neighborhood, while concurrently juggling multiple full price offers on our starter home. Rob is accessible via phone and text, whether for official communication or hypothetical scenarios. Hidden under his professional attire is a down to earth guy who cares deeply about every single family. His associates and professional network (lawyers, mortgage brokers) make the challenge of real estate easy and seamless.

Review Robert was so wonderful to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and very accommodating. I began working with Robert about three years ago when I decided to rent my condo. He immediately found me a wonderful tenant and once they moved on the following year he found me another great tenant in a timely manner, leaving no gap in between tenants. This year I decided to sell the property. New to being a seller Robert calmed my nerves and guided me in the right direction. He has made the whole selling process flawless. Him and I chatted about listing the property and within two months the condo has sold and we have already closed. It was a pleasure working with Robert and I will be recommending him to my family and friends. Robert will always be my go to realtor when buying and selling.
