My Real Estate Career began in Clinton, NJ in 1997. My husband Fred joined me in 2002 and we have been a full-time Real Estate Team since then. I am a Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialist (SFR), Certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), a Real Estate Technology Specialist (e-PRO) and a Certified Marketing Specialist.
I attained my Brokers License in 2016 and have been in the NJ Circle of Excellence from 2003-2010 and 2012-2023. We help buyers and sellers in Hunterdon, Warren, Somerset and Morris Counties and pride ourselves with the personal attention that we give our clients on a consistent basis. We are always reachable day and night!!
Our daughter Laura Backer joined us in 2023. Laura is excited about her new career and has been working with both buyers and sellers, as well as enhancing our social media platform. Adding Laura to the team, gives us more flexibility in serving our clients.
As agents who are experts in this local area, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. We are eager to serve you. Here are some of the things we can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! We can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. We can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. We can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
I grew up in Mendham, New Jersey and graduated from Lock Haven University. After a 25 year career in Information Technology at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, I became a Realtor in 2002 and joined my wife Susan, who had been in the business since 1997. We have worked together for the past 18 years, achieving the NJ Circle Of Excellence Awards in 16 of those years. We joined Coldwell Banker Realty in 2018.
Sue and I have been married for 41 years with 3 Children and 4 Grandchildren. We currently live in Franklin Township, Hunterdon County.
