Ridgewood NJ -- The Relocating Sticker Shock Syndrome

Each and every home is different in some way or other. While your home may be the same as the model home, when built, it is different in it's own right and has to priced accordingly. Custom and unique homes in the Ridgewood area demand attention for their grandeur, style and for all of the reasons that prople gravitate to this part of the country. Mass transit, highways, shopping malls and lifestyle are some of the assets of living here. Several people that I deal with during the year that are relocating from other parts of the country / world, have sticker shock over the prices of homes. Helping them to adjust to this can be quite a task. When reality sets in that all they might afford here is a Cape Cod home when they just came from a large split level or colonial home elsewhere, they may become sad if not despondent. Helping them cope with this is part of my job.

It's my job to show them other homes that meet their needs for their price range and also showing them what a home that they had is worth here. I need to enlighten them to the fact that this is one of the most populated areas in the world per square mile. I take them around for a tour of the local area shopping, town facilities, malls, schools and anything else that they may have a need for. I don't want to limit myself to think that I just sell homes. I believe I sell opportunities, an opportunity to have a piece of the American dream, to have a lifestyle that people have an affinity for, to live where there are malls after malls for shopping, where many schools have received awards for one thing or other. The list goes on and on.

These customers need and demand more time to adjust and need my help more than ever. I have afforded myself with the time and tools necessary to handle people relocating to the Ridgewood NJ area. If you know of someone relocating to the Ridgewood NJ area, please have them give me a call.

CPR for Emergency Medical Technicians

One of the many classes that I need to take every so often is the annual CPR course to keep my Emergency Medical Technician certification. This course was held tonight at the Washington Township Volunteer Ambulance Corps and was open to all members of any Volunteer Ambulance corps. It was a 31/2 hour course to review our skills and be tested on the current methods. Every 3 years in New Jersey we must re-cert our EMT skills by taking classes and lectures. We must take 48 hours of specified classes and pass them. In the last three years I have had over 100 hours of classes in many different fields of the EMT curriculum. All in all, with meetings, being on duty, re-cert classes etc I estimate that I volunteer around 700-800 hours a year to my town. If you haven't ever thought of giving back, why not start to, now. Visit your towns main website to see the different ways of volunteering and helping. It's never too late.

My Clients Remembering the Past Looking to the Future

Over the years I have met hundreds and hundreds, well actually thousands of people running my old business and now my new business. My clients / friends number over a thousand which may not seem much to some but to me it's how I like my business. A size where I can get Personal....... I really enjoy when my clients call up and start with how the family is, what's new and really get into it and then they almost forget about why they were calling. The feeling is mutual for their family and their concerns. There are times to make money and there are times to do the right thing and just help you client. I do them both as needed. As I sit here tonight thinking about my clients I look back at my journey and if there were a few things to say about them it would be that they are a class act, that honors our relationship with trust, honest and loyalty.

What brings me to this point was a recent testimonial that I just received from a really nice customer that ended up not purchasing anything from me and had to put things on hold. She was so very thoughtful by endorsing me in print which made me think of all of those compliments that I have received from others, verbally through the years.

This is what she wrote:

"Jeffery was very reliable. I found him to be very attentive to what I was looking for in a home. I NEVER felt Jeffery was looking to "score" a commission or that he was "pushing" a home on me. He really cared that I found a place that I could truly call home. I would certainly look to Jeffery when I purchase my next home and would recommend him to anyone looking to make that special purchase."

On behalf of myself and RE/MAX Elite Associates to Nicole T. and all of my clients and friends that I have met through the years, I want to say a very sincere THANK YOU ! Thank you for your 20 years of trust working with my in my different business. Thanks for your understanding, patience, honesty and genuine concern.

We are a GREAT TEAM, you and I. Through thick and thin we help each other survive and thrive. We are going to pave the way for a new standard in Ridgewood Real Estate.

Let's do it together

I'm ready to go places I haven't been before, to do things that I've never done, to do all those things I have always done ..... for you, your family and friends...
