Saritte Harel and her team handled the sale of our Short Hills home flawlessly. In addition to being the consummate professional, Saritte has proven to be extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable. She took the time to learn all the details of our property and understand our goals. She then exceeded our expectations every step of the way – especially when she very quickly brought us the perfect buyer! She is like a real estate matchmaker. Selling or buying a home is exciting but sometimes stressful with unexpected bumps along the way. Saritte is the ultimate navigator and negotiator to lead you, calmly and thoughtfully, through the entire process. She did not disappear after getting the listing or going under contract. Her attention was steadfast, and she was always available. It is obviously of paramount importance to Saritte that her clients come away from their transaction satisfied and happy. She is now helping us find our next home. We highly recommend Saritte and her entire team!

The long and short of it is that my family was trying to buy into perhaps the most competitive real estate market in the area in the most competitive price range. Whatever house we decided to make an offer on would likely get another 5, 10, 20 offers. Carol didn't pressure us, but she was very matter of fact about telling us what we needed to do to be competitive. Sure enough, it worked. We got the very first house we put an offer on after looking for one weekend. I haven't bought a lot of houses in my life, but I'm quite sure our experience is atypical and we wouldn't have been able to pull it off without Carol's help (not to mention the almost constant on-call support she gave us working through contracts, inspections, and renovations).

I work in the real estate industry and I can wholeheartedly state that Saritte and her team are some of the most professional, market savvy and knowledgeable real estates experts I have worked with. From pricing to listing to closing and moving, Saritte makes the process of buying and selling a home a genuinely easy process.

Saritte Harel and her team are nothing but fantastic. They are professional, smart and knowledgeable. Saritte represented us on both our purchase and sale. During both transactions we felt confident that we had the best possible representation and were getting the best deals possible. They made us feel like we were their only customers. As busy as they are, every question or concern was address immediately and with the highest level of professionalism. We highly recommend Saritte Harel and her team for anyone that is looking to purchase or sell a home.

Saritte and Lisa are an incredible team.  We worked with them 5 years ago to purchase our first house and then again this past year to sell that house and buy a new house. On all sides of the transaction they were incredible - smart, tough, responsive, low-pressure, understanding and dependable. Through their strategic work, we received 8 offers on our house in the first weekend on the market and were able to sell it well over our asking price. On the purchase of our house, they worked closely with us to find the right house - and when we did, they helped us position ourselves strongly against multiple other offers to have our offer accepted.   We have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home in our area. In a fast moving, competitive real estate market you want to know you are represented by the BEST agent - Saritte and Lisa are the BEST.

We couldn't be happier with Saritte representing us as our buying agent!! She guided us through the whole process seamlessly, helping us navigate an unknown market and real estate process. She is very responsive, highly knowledgeable and experienced, and at the same time remains very personal. We felt she was having our back during the negotiation process and was looking after our best interest. Her support team is also incredibly knowledgeable and efficient. We would definitely work with Saritte again in the future!!

In our home, we tell it like it is. In an over-saturated world of realtors with varying degrees of personal and professional integrity, it is inspiring to work with a team of individuals, headed by Saritte and Lisa, who authentically and tirelessly guide you through one of the most important and  stressful purchases of your life.

 

Their seamless teamwork is impressive and the ability to make you, the client, feel as if you are their ONLY client is special. But, perhaps, most notable, is their skill in serving the clients' best interests while managing the complexities of the "real estate game" with character and class.

 

Saritte and Lisa were recommended to us by several of our friends in the community, and we, honestly, couldn't be more grateful to them.

Carol is a wonderful broker to work with. She listens attentively, she is knowledgeable about pricing and the community. She urged us to list our house a bit lower than we initially thought it was worth. She explained in great depth why this was her recommendation but was never pushy. We listened  and she was so right. We had a bidding war and sold at a significant gain over asking, over where we wanted to price it. She was sensitive to our needs, always professional and we thoroughly Enjoyed working with her.

Lauren was an excellent agent. She was professional and brought in other experts on the team to ensure our home showed and sold at it's best. She was responsive and meticulous with details. Additionally, the photos, online listing and brochure were very impressive. The selling / buying process could be a stressful one, particularly for us in Q1 of 2020, but having her along side us took the burden off, as we knew anything related to the house, paperwork and listing was going to be taken care of.

Saritte was phenomenal to work with. She definitively knows the market, and NJ neighborhoods extremely well and was always able to provide sound and objective guidance, all the while creating a dynamic that was very comfortable. It was very evident that she and her team are well researched, precise and comprehensive. We were extremely lucky to have worked with Saritte and leverage her expertise to purchase a property for our needs!

We had a wonderful experience with Michael Cortinas from the Saritte team. We were first time home buyers and faced the challenge of buying (or renting!!) before a short deadline during the pandemic. He helped and guided us with everything, from financing to contractors. He really understood the market and knew exactly what it took to get an accepted offer (within our budget) during such a competitive time. His follow up and always making himself available for us was so valuable. He felt like a friend not just a realtor. He found us the most perfect home on the most perfect block and closed days before our deadline. We will recommend Michael to anyone we meet looking for a realtor.

I enjoyed working with Michael and Saritte. They proved extremely knowledgeable and responsive as they guided our family on the process of purchasing a home in New Jersey. I was in touch with Michael on an almost daily basis for a number of months and he ultimately found us a home that we are thrilled with. He was patient and always available to answer our questions as well as extremely personable. Saritte also always made time to answer our questions and her extensive experience within the New Jersey market proved invaluable. I have no hesitation in recommending both Michael and Saritte. They will find you a great home! Thank you again!

Lisa Salerno from the Saritte Harel team was an extremely knowledgeable and supportive guide through every step of the process in helping my husband and me buy our first home. As first time home buyers, we didn't know many things. Lisa was very patient about explaining the process to us. She was always available to speak with us and answer any questions we had. We appreciated her professionalism and keen insights about the real estate market, not to mention she was a sharp and strategic negotiator. Most importantly we always felt like Lisa was really looking out for us. I would highly recommend Lisa!! You will be in great hands!

Saritte has worked with us three times over the past 12 years. First, we were the newcomers from the city, then the family outgrown its first house. The experience of working with her each time has been terrific. She is professional, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable about the market. She puts your interest first, instead of looking for an easy and quick transaction. The people on her team are hardworking, responsive and detail oriented. They have the systems to work together seamlessly from start to finish. Equally important is her wide network in the area. For any issue related to buying and selling, she has the right leads for you. We highly recommend Saritte and her team!

We were so fortunate to work with Lisa Salerno to sell our home--we received multiple offers in just a few days on the market. Lisa helped us every step of they. She provided strong, market-backed analytics to help us determine the best time to sell and the price that was going to generate the right buyers. She consulted on how to improve our home to make it compelling to potential buyers. Lisa and her team created great materials and generated the right buzz to have a huge turnout for our open houses. Once we had buyers, Lisa guided us and held our hand until the very end. She is incredibly professional, patient and picked up the phone at all hours--every time with a calm, rationale solution. We had a worry-free experience, pretty rare for selling your home! Lisa is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!

We highly recommend Saritte Harel. She is a very knowledgeable, attentive professional who helped guide us through both the purchase of our new home and sale of our previous one. During these processes, issues arose on both fronts but with Saritte’s advice, we successfully navigated toward satisfactory resolutions. In particular, on the sale of our house, the marketing materials both in print and on-line generated a large amount of interest and number of viewings. At the end of the day, our house sold well above our initial asking price after only a few weeks on the market. Saritte is a great resource for anyone looking to either buy and/or sell a home.

From the first time we met Saritte to when we finally closed on our house - 18 months later! - Saritte was with us every step of the way.

We would not hesitate to recommend her and, whenever we sell and/or buy again, she would be the first person we would call.

My wife and I worked with Lauren, an associate of Saritte's, and the service we received was fantastic.

We would highly recommend Saritte Harel and her team (especially Lauren with whom we worked with directly).

Saritte and her team did a great job in selling our house. Saritte is an excellent real estate broker who listens and works with you. The team was very responsive which was important, as buying/selling a house can be a daunting experience. What I like about Saritte is that she is a caring individual and will give you her honest opinion. I felt I could trust her because she does have your interest at heart. Like all RE transactions, we had our share of challenges and she was there for us the whole time. We were very glad we chose Saritte as our agent.

Saritte was 100% in control of the deal from day one to the finish line. She is experienced and diligent and set the bar exactly where it should be. The transaction went as smooth as it can under the circumstances (first-time buyer and overseas seller...). As we wrote to Saritte in our personal note to her, we are extremely lucky to have her as our real-estate agent. We know our home is in the best of hands and that no matter how challenging the transaction gets, Saritte and her team will execute at the end of the day.

Carol Greenberg and Saritte Harel's team did a fine job of marketing our home to sell. We were given good advice on preparing to sell, and the process was explained well. The team was responsive almost to a fault. Carol knows the Maplewood South Orange area incredibly well, which was a great  help for pricing and strategy. Carol also helped us find our new home, and we had an incredibly smooth transition due to her experience and knowing just how to proceed. I would feel very comfortable recommending them.

Saritte puts her clients first.
