About Jennifer T. Ley

My Client-First Philosophy

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 Montclair area 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.

We don't have cookie-cutter houses in Montclair. And you don't want just any home. Chances are, you want to move here because you've heard how unique a community Montclair is. And you're going to want to work with someone who reflects that!


Why do buyers choose me? I know my market, and I love my community, and I truly care about my customers. I constantly preview new homes to find the best. I don't view myself as a sales person, I'm a consultant. My focus isn't on selling you on a house, I want to find you a home, and it has to "fit" you, your family, your vision of your future. I want you to know everything you need to know to make your move comfortable. From the best transportation options, to the best schools, restaurants, contractors, handymen, I don't want you to feel alone during process, or after you move in. I'm always going to be a phone call away to help you.

 

"These days it is hard to find a person who takes as much pride, effort and attention to detail in their work.  Jennifer has a great deal of knowledge and experience that many other realtors do not have.  We knew she was the type of realtor and person we could trust."

 

-- Steven and Maricel Aralar

 

"Jennifer Ley is an asset to your organization. She was a perfect fit for us and our home buying needs. She made our first home buying experience a very pleasant and smooth one. We valued her advice and input."

-- Jeff and Gen Castaneda

 

"She gave us 110%, even when our current deal got complicated; she kept us calm and provided us with excellent guidance. She is an asset to Schweppe Burgdorff ERA. We will definitely be referring our friends to her."

-- Keith and Jennifer Allen


With a sales record that places me consistently in the top 10%, ERA Premier agent status which makes your preapproval process extremely fast and efficient, and more than 70% of my business coming from past clients, I have the experience and market knowledge you need to help you turn your desire to own a home in Montclair (or our area towns like Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, Nutley, Maplewood and South Orange) into a reality.

 

Why do sellers choose me? With a current list to sale price ratio of 8.5% over asking price and most of my listings going under contract in less than 30 days, more and more sellers are seeking me out to represent them. And with the market becoming more challenging, having a full-time professional on your side with excellent negotiation and problem solving skills has never been more important.  I'll be happy to provide references and testimonials from my past clients.

 

"Jennifer was outstanding. Selling an older house can be difficult, but she had the knowledge and negotiation skills to get us past every hurdle."

-- Alison Meyer
