I just sold my home in Glen Ridge, and Roberta did an excellent job guiding me through from start to finish. First off she has a good knowladge of current home styles. She was able to provide me with a list of projects and suggested vendors and contractors that helped me make sense of what was needed to updating my home and bringing into sales ready condition for the current market, helping me sort out what was worth doing and what was not. She was then able to help me price my home to attract the needed attention to sell it quickly. Following her suggestions paid off with a quick sale at the top end of the range she suggested. This is the second home Roberta has helped me sell, both moved quickly and at top of price range. I would reccomend her to any one selling a home, and especially to those who are not personally knowledgeable about the latest home trends.

I found Roberta by chance the first time, but picked her on purpose the second time because she is first class, no nonsense and will work hard to meet your timeline and needs. I had a very tight timeline and she organized her professional team to meet that goal. She is straightforward and honest so you will know what to expect without all the fluff. Her knowledge of the areas she covers is unmatched.

Thank you to Roberta Baldwin and Nancy Chu of the Chu/Baldwin real estate team, KW NJ Metro Group. Because of their expert marketing and experience, in just one week, our home in South Orange had 4 viable offers, all well above asking price. They knowledgably guided us through the closing process, with savvy recommendations and top notch referrals of other professionals and technicians. To our amazement and delight, we were able to close six weeks after listing. Roberta also assisted us in purchasing our new aEURoedownsizedaEUR? home in West Orange. With her shrewd negotiating skills, we were able to reach an excellent agreement with the seller and closed within one month of our offer. Roberta and Nancy are exceptional realtors who know the housing market and approach it with a rare intelligence and understanding. They are a pleasure to work with. You both have our highest recommendation and gratitude.
