Justin Donnarumma, Stonybrook Realty
“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Justin Donnarumma for the sale of our 2 bedroom condo in Clifton. Selling a home is never easy, especially if you live out of state like we do. Justin put our mind at ease while managing open houses, showings, and offers while we were living over 2500 miles away. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. Justin was able to guide us through a number of complicated decisions when it came to accepting a final offer and moving through the closing process. It was a pleasure working with Justin and we would highly recommend him!”

Michelle Fotiadis, Stonybrook Realty
“It’s not easy to find a perfect house, or a realtor as great as Michelle! She patiently guided us every step of the way during our first house buying process, and even leveraged her network to help us build a dream team. Despite the unpredictable COVID market, things couldn’t have gone more smoothly, thanks to her unrivaled responsiveness, impeccable organization, and positive attitude! We’re forever thankful and strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property anywhere in NJ – she gets it!”

Stacie Peterson, Stonybrook Realty
“Stacie was such a pleasure to work with when we purchased our recent home in the Green Pond area. We looked at several homes and she never pushed us to lean one way or another but was helpful with her feedback when we asked. She was also always able to make herself available when we wanted to see something in a hurry. 20 years in the business speaks volumes and I would highly recommend her!”

Throughout the search process, she was extremely responsive and was accommodating with scheduling showings and worked with us extensively to find us a home that we love.

Stacie Peterson, Stonybrook Realty
“We worked with Stacie to sell my grandmother’s home of over 65 years. Selling was emotional for the entire family. Stacie understood our feelings and ensured we were comfortable throughout the process. The house was a challenge to sell as it had a flat roof. Stacie understood the importance of selling the house quickly to ease our stress. Impressively, she sold the home in less than a month. Stacie was professional and knowledgeable the whole time we worked with her. She was always available and willing to go out of her way. We’re so grateful to have had Stacie as the person helping us through such an emotional time. I’ll definitely be recommending Stacie to friends and family.”

Larry Rock, Stonybrook Realty
“Larry was the most thorough and committed realtor I dealt with during my rental search. I quickly realized that he was the realtor I wanted to deal with. He was quick to reply during all correspondence and thoroughly addressed all of my questions and concerns. He was knowledgeable about the NJ real estate market. He gladly took on the challenge of finding us a pet friendly rental home in our budget, and we ended up very pleased with the outcome. From the date of my first inquiry to the date I signed my lease was only about a month, during which time we viewed many houses. Larry was accommodating to my hectic schedule and I am very comfortable recommending him to friends and family.”

Michelle Fotiadis, Stonybrook Realty
Michelle is truly magnificent! We were first-timers wasting time fumbling around the market before Michelle was recommended to us. There’s nothing easy about buying in the current market. Michelle waded tirelessly through the river of homes that were vanishing as fast as they were appearing. Her knowledge is very impressive. Her dedication and hard work are even more impressive. When we had a clear shot at the right home Michelle’s advice on bidding won us a home that we love at a great price. Michelle is supported by a great team at Stonybrook Realty. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we never would’ve made out so well, or even at all, without Michelle to guide us!

Robert Gannon, Stonybrook Realty
“Bob is not only knowledgeable of the real estate business and the current state of the market but also what you as a customer are looking for. He spent a lot of time with us understanding what would be important to us and at each showing pointed out a lot of things that we would not have caught that would affect our time in the house. Cnce we decided on a home, Bob went to work getting us the best conditions and price. The entire experience was superb. We have a broker and friend for life.”

Jenna Davie, Stonybrook Realty
“Jenna is one of the most caring real estate agents I’ve ever come across, and she is as smart as they come! My husband and I completely relied on Jenna throughout the entire process of finding and purchasing our forever home and she was there for us every step of the way. Since we were not familiar with Long Valley, she was our secret weapon.”

Karen Martino, Stonybrook Realty
“I will tell you from the bottom of my heart, there is no better agent hands down. My husband and I were extremely difficult clients. Karen spent over a year with us showing us everything under the moon, working tirelessly to help us figure out where we belonged. She knew everything about real estate and all the different scenarios we came across. She never once showed frustration, she was always patient. She ALWAYS answered my calls. She was an excellent negotiator and the kind of smart, strategic woman you absolutely want on your team. She is extremely special and if I could give her 100 stars, I would.”

Ricardo Panchoo, Stonybrook Realty
“Ricardo’s ability to listen and gather information is one of the reasons why I wanted to work with him. Staying within budget was my number one priority, which meant moving about 40 minutes away from my current location. He showed me different homes and educated me on the town, nearby towns and local attractions. He helped me find my home within 2 months! He connected me with a loan officer, attorney, and inspector. You’re not just getting a realtor when you work with Ricardo, you’re getting an entire network of professional and knowledgeable people to help you along the way. Truly thankful for all his hardwork and dedication to helping me close in 45 days.”

Jenna Davie, Stonybrook Realty
“My wife and I had an absolutely brilliant experience working with Jenna from Stonybrook Realty. We had a unique 100 year old lake house to sell, and she and her team knew exactly how to market it. We received our first offer in four days, which went to contract at 99% of our asking price. Not only did Jenna do a great job selling our home for top dollar, but she found us the perfect home to move to as well. Jenna is very attentive, diligent and hardworking. She kept track of every detail of both transactions. Nothing slipped through the cracks. The whole experience was very personal and pleasant. We can’t imagine working with anyone else.”

Michelle Kooger, Stonybrook Realty
“I couldn’t recommend Michelle Kooger more! We were first time home buyers and needed a lot of hand holding. Michelle was amazing and so responsive anytime we had questions. She quickly got a sense of what we were looking for and was willing to show us as many properties as we needed to see until we found our dream home. Once our offer was accepted, Michelle had the resources to recommend the best home inspectors and it was a straight forward process through closing. At the end, my fiancé and I felt very confident in our purchase and couldn’t be happier. If you’re serious about finding the perfect home and you’re nervous like we were, contact Michelle you will not be disappointed!”

Ricardo Panchoo, Stonybrook Realty
Wow! Ricardo was beyond what we would have expected from a real estate agent. Not only do you get an agent who will coordinate homes to view, but you also get an education. He explained the different things to be on the lookout for, the pros and cons of the home, and what things you may want or need to change. When he showed us the house we purchased, he instantly knew it was the one for us, and said “welcome home” upon entering. He also has a great network of attorneys, inspectors, and mortgage loan officers to connect you with. Very friendly, professional, and informative. Highly recommended!

“Karen is very knowledgeable about the market she services. She guided us on what price point to list our home to sell in the time that we needed to to be able to purchase our new home. With Karen’s advice we received multiple offers, went under contract in less than 2 weeks, and sold for $9,000 over list price! Karen is a wonderful realtor and genuinely cares for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.”

Bill MacFarland, Stonybrook Realty
“Bill was beyond helpful as I moved to a new state in the middle of a pandemic! The whole buying process from looking to settlement was super easy and Bill ensured I understood my options and kept me fully informed throughout. He worked 110% for my benefit through the whole process and now I have a beautiful new home that I can’t wait to spend many years in!

Donna Chingery, Stonybrook Realty
“Donna was the best agent we could’ve found! We were trying to make a purchase with a VA loan during a pandemic and a sellers market. She managed to understand our tastes and had extensive knowledge of the area. Donna always replied within minutes and worked around our schedules. Many times when we came across a house at 7PM and Donna managed to get us a viewing the next day, sometimes even THE SAME DAY(impressive!) THANK YOU Donna! If it wasn’t for you and your dedication, we wouldn’t have been able to find our amazing home!”
