Zaid Abuhouran Local Guide • 18 reviews • 14 photos starstarstarstarstar 2 weeks ago New We recently worked with Barbara Bossert to purchase our home and could not have asked for a better experience.

Even though this was our second time buying, Barbara never assumed we already knew everything. She patiently walked us through each step, explained the process clearly, and made sure we understood what to expect. She represented our interests very well with the sellers and always made us feel supported. Barbara also has a deep knowledge of homes in New Jersey and took the time to explain important nuances and details about homeownership that were incredibly helpful to us. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made a big difference, and we are grateful for her guidance. We highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated real estate agent.

Murray brings a great deal of experience and expertise to the table.

We have used Murray for several transactions and he is excelllent. From pricing to marketing to negotiation he gets the job done! We highly recommend Murray!!!

Morourke J

Murray provided excellent service as our buyer's agent when we bought our home earlier this year.

He was able to quickly identify the key characteristics we were looking for in our future home and generate a list of good targets. During the search he gave us frank appraisals of each target we examined. As a former construction engineer he was frequently able to provide insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the older houses we were interested in. When we found the house we ultimately bought he gave us sound analysis on what the property was truly worth today. This analysis was based on both deep experience with the local market in the Mountain Lakes / Boonton area and on a select list of well chosen comparables. Overall we were very happy with Murray and would recommend him to anyone interested in this area.

Jodi was very easy to work with.

She did an outstanding job with showing our home , for an open house. We were selling our home FSBO and we had some trouble. My wife and I reached out to Jodi , she hosted for us and was able to bring us a buyer. We simply can't thank Jodi enough. I would recommend Jodi for any buying or selling.

Dan Kirschbaum

Pratikshaji (that's how we call her) is an exceptional realtor.

She took time to discuss our requirements and after seeing 2-3 houses she understood what we are looking for. It was our first home buying and her expertise in the market helped a lot to get where we wanted to settle in. She never hesitated to communicate with us, took calls even at odd hours or holidays. In present tough market for buyer, her timing was very important, we would be the first or second to see the properties most of the times. Her guidance helped in Submitting the right offer, picking the right attorney and many other process related things that we were unaware of. She has good knowledge about different elements and contacts of people. She helped us by recommending competitive mortgage agent, attorney, home insurance agent, home inspection company, and few other processes. This saved a lot of time for us and get best deals in the market. She would regularly call to remind us of important things that we need to follow up on. Post purchase of the property, she kept communication active to ensure we were settled in and clarified many things as we were first timers. We are very thankful to her for her commitment, guidance and friendly approach to get us settled in our dream home.

I can’t thank Jodi enough for all the care, professionalism, and support she gave in helping sell my parents’ home.

This was not just a transaction for our family it was a big emotional step and Jodi handled everything with patience, kindness, and incredible attention to detail. Jodi guided me through each stage, answered every question with honesty, and made sure we always felt comfortable and informed. I was selling their home in a different state. Her knowledge of the market, strong communication, and dedication made the whole process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about us as people, not just clients. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jodi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and compassionate realtor.

Lourdes Manzo

We honestly don't think we would be getting our dream home without Jodi Fishbane.

Her negotiation skills were exceptional and made all the difference in what was a very competitive situation. From the beginning, Jodi was strategic, confident, and always advocating for our best interests. We truly believe that without her expertise, we would not have been able to secure this house. Throughout the process, Jodi has been incredibly communicative, responsive, and patient. No question was ever too small, and she always took the time to explain things clearly and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision. One of the things that stood out most was her extensive knowledge of the areas we were considering. She provided valuable insight into neighborhoods, market conditions, and home values that helped us navigate a challenging market with confidence. The funny thing is, we actually started our home search with another realtor. We happened to meet Jodi at an open house and were immediately impressed by her professionalism, honesty, and knowledge. We decided to switch and work with her, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during our home-buying journey. Although our transaction hasn't officially closed yet, Jodi has already gone above and beyond in every way. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Jodi, for helping make what felt impossible become possible!

When my beloved Mother passed away I found myself impoverished and I had no way to make the repairs and preparations which were necessary to bring her home to market before a reverse mortgage foreclosure took place.

Murray Robertson made miracles happen. Not once or twice but again and again. Every detail from the disposal of junk to finding legal counsel to repairing the kitchen sink and plumbing became resolved as if there was no financial obstacle. Murray has cultivated a network of professionals who span across a wide spectrum of disciplines. They agreed to defer payment until after the closing of the house as they made repairs and improvements ahead of the open house event. Because my Mother's home was architecturally very unusual, there was an additional challenge about how to present an unconventional home to a market which expects something more ordinary. Murray used his photographic and multimedia talents to produce an online presentation which captured attention and intrigued the market. As a result, a large pool of offers poured in within a very short period of time. Murray is a fountain of inspiration as a person. His spiritual strength is contagious and his professionalism is without question. Murray is the kind of person you need on your side when things are tough. Fast forward to the closing, where lawyers handle the process of finalizing the sale of a home in a formal meeting between buyer, seller, and their respective attorneys. A superb lawyer named Mr. Robert Dunn was on my side because Murray helped me to procure his services. As I sat at the table, Mr. Dunn expressed his amazement at exactly how much Murray did to help me. He had never seen anything like it before during his long and successful career.

Karl M

Murray is very knowledgeable about the Mountain Lakes area.

He spent a lot of time showing us houses and gave us a couple of great tours of the entire area. It was a pleasure working with him.

Michael S

Murray was able to get my house sold before it even went on the market!

Super quick turn around and he took care of any and all issues that came up. So may little details that need to be addressed and he did them all from A-Z. Great follow up! Would highly recommend Murray to sell any house or find your dream home!

Jennifer W

Whether you are buying or selling a home, there is only one realtor you need to call and that is Murray Robertson.

I have had the pleasure of working with him in selling and buying a home. He had made both experiences incredibly easy and worry free. Murray is very professional and knowledgeable in what he does and is always one step ahead. He answered every call and text promptly. Murray was by my side every step of the process which put my mind at ease. He sold my first home in four hours and within two days was in attorney review. Additionally, he also helped me buy a home that was in my budget and in the neighborhood I wanted. He cares about his clients, is very efficient and goes the extra mile. I can't say enough about what a positive experience I have had with Murray being my realtor. But I can say if you are buying or selling a home, there is ONLY one person for the job and that is Murray Robertson.

Five Stars – A Truly Exceptional Realtor!

Working with Jodi was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She is everything you could hope for in a realtor—knowledgeable, professional, kind, and incredibly thorough. Jodi knew the current real estate market inside and out, which gave me great confidence in every step of the process. She went above and beyond, providing valuable insights not just on pricing, but also on every other aspect of selling a home—from choosing the right professionals, to understanding all the fine details that come with listing and closing. I never felt overwhelmed or caught off guard because Jody made sure I had all the information upfront. No surprises, just complete transparency. Her patience and kindness truly set her apart. She took the time to walk me through everything and made sure I felt comfortable with each decision. I’m so grateful to have had Jodi as my realtor and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I can say, unequivocally, that Murray is the best of the best. Honest, smart, hard-working, and willing to help in any way possible to make a transaction as seamless as possible. Bottom line- if you're selling or buying, reach out to Murray.

Tom is THE BEST real estate agent!

We have known Tom for many years as he has helped my parents purchase their home over 17 years ago! My parents took over 2 years to find their home and Tom patiently and diligently showed them many homes before they selected. When it became our turn to find a home I had no doubt Tom could help us! Our home search strategy was quite different then that of my parents and my husband and I took an aggressive approach looking at as many homes as possible, quite quickly. Tom was knowledgeable, prompt and extremely responsive to all our text, calls and emails. If we wanted to see or learn more about a home that day he would get the info and arrange it. Never once did we feel like a nuisance and let me tell you I personally felt like we had asked so much of him! He's honest, up front and will play hard ball with the sellers for you! I wouldn't use anyone else but Tom and would recommend him to everyone I know!

Bought a home in 2013 in NJ 07860

Jodi was AMAZING to work with.

We could not imagine our home buying experience with anyone else. She was professional, intelligent, and thorough. She answered all of our questions (even the small silly ones) and communicated every detail with us along the way. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone I know looking to purchase or sell their home.

Dominique and Ryan

It was an absolute pleasure selling my home with Jodi.

Her professionalism, attention to detail and sound advice were eclipsed only by her courteous nature, efficiency and enthusiasm. Without reservation , I highly recommend Jodi as the BEST solution to navigating the complex world of our current real estate market.

Tim Dybus

While many real estate agents I've encountered show a single property and are never heard from again, Tom Porfido patiently presents multiple properties (over an extended period of time if needed) carefully helping the buyer find the one that is right for them.

Tom is always there to answer any questions regarding specific properties of interest or general questions about real estate for the less experienced buyer. Always considerate and understanding, Tom stands with you every step of the way from first contact thru closing.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 in Clifton, NJ

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 in Morristown, NJ

Jodi is Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly!

Stephanie

Jodi is an outstanding realtor who worked tirelessly with my family to meet specific needs.

She guided us through an entire process from start to finish with an outcome that we are very pleased with. Jodi's thorough knowledge , outstanding communication , and sincere kindness always put our minds at ease. Jodi is an absolute pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to working with her again.

DuJack Family

I first met Jodi on a cold, cloudy,rainy day in the fall of last year.

I was looking for a home for my family. I was very stressed out, spread thin, and I had no idea what I was doing. Not only was Jodi kind and empathetic but she was understanding and always a consummate professional. She closely scrutinized each house and always kept our family's needs in the forefront . Jodi insisted on finding a home with a large enclosed backyard for my kids' safety. She never gave up on our family. At one point I swear she was done with us, but she said that was part of the process. She assured us we would find our perfect home. Together, we viewed so many homes and attended so many open houses, I completely lost count. Eventually, we saw a home I swore I did not like, but Jodi felt like it checked all the boxes. It went off the market and then back on the market. One day, she told me she really wanted us to go back and take a second look. After seeing the house again, it hit me that it was absolutely the perfect home and everything that my family needed. Somehow Jody knew instinctively it was our forever home. Today we are moving in and my family and I are so grateful to Jodi Fishbane for all of her guidance and support. She is my kids honorary aunt. I truly believe I made a friend for life.”

Buying a house felt overwhelming at first, but she made the whole process feel easy and even enjoyable. She was always available to answer our questions (no matter how small), walked us through each step with patience, and genuinely cared about finding us the right home. Barbara went above and beyond, and it truly felt like we had a trusted friend on our side the entire time. Thanks to her, we're now in a house we absolutely love, and we couldn't have done it without her!

Kerri Territo

Murray is as good a realtor as you can get without being able to see the future.

Could not recommend him more. Murray helped us buy a single family and sell a condo. He moved heaven and earth to make this happen, here’s some things he did: - Tell us everything that’s wrong with every home we visited, instead of trying to sell us on closing deals quickly. He used to build and it shows, he has a really deep understanding of how homes are built. This is especially important in NJ where many of the homes are very old and have had additions done, often badly. - When we found our perfect home, he guided us through a strategy that was aggressive but fair. We gave a fair offer on the home, not high _and not low_. He then played every card to get them to take it. He got the listing agent to cancel the open house in favor of our offer! This was during a really hot market. - Both buyer and seller walked away happy - we paid a fair price for the house and the transaction was quick and smooth. - Immediately after buying the house, the market froze up while we were selling the condo. - Murray guided us through strategically lowering the price but not too much, and screening predatory offers. - He designed an exit strategy in case we don’t get a good offer. The plan was to upgrade the condo and carry it into the next season. He told us like it is - this will probably work but there are often unexpected costs, it’s better to sell now at a fair price. He priced it out for us since he can do the general contracting on this kind of work. - When we did get a real offer, Murray organized with the buyer’s agent to minimize haggling and get everyone moving. - The buyer had no requests after inspection. This is, of course, not entirely due to Murray, but he did make it clear that they are paying a fair price and that we might walk if there are any problems. - We ended up with a good sale price for our condo in an ice-cold market. The result is that we sold our condo at a good price, bought our home at a good price, and are now living in our dream single family with the mortgage almost entirely paid off and everyone happy. We got very unlucky with the timing but ended up with literally our perfect home, we couldn’t be happier. You should work with Murray if: - You appreciate honest, incredibly knowledgeable people who are looking to buy and sell at prices that make sense for everyone. - You want someone who will tell you the unvarnished truth every time. - You want to trade aggressively but at fair prices for good homes. You should work with someone else if: - You want to be told every home you look at is perfect and that every buyer can be squeezed. - You want to bargain-hunt for months without buying anything and end up barely winning a bid for a home with lots of problems you don’t know about because no one told you. - You want to fleece a buyer and are looking for someone who will spend months with you trying to overprice everything.

We highly recommend Murray Robertson to be your real estate agent for buying home.

We purchased our first home in Morris County and we couldn’t have done it without him. Being naïve in the real estate market, purchasing our first home was intimidating; however Murray put us at ease. He knows the market inside and out; is patient and very responsive when answering all our questions. He advised us on important things and made us understand the importance of customizing at the right balance. He never pressured us to do anything that we weren’t comfortable with, nor did he ever act in other party’s interest. This was essential important to us as we had to stay on budget. Even after we settled in our new home, he always answers our calls and helps with anything that’s possible on his end. This is something that’s rare and unmatchable with other agents. We are pleased with his assistance in finding us our dream home. We definitely recommend Murray when it comes to buying/selling your home. - Happy 1st time home buyers

Mi experiencia con Ernesto fue magnífica.

Ernesto posee gran conocimiento en el Negocio de bienes raíces, me consiguió la casa que siempre soñé de mediano tamaño pero muy hermosa y de acuerdo an mis ingresos económicos. Ernesto durante este proceso de búsqueda de la casa ideal para mi, proceso que nos tomo alrededor de nueve meses, siempre que requería de su ayuda o consejos el inmediatamente respondía a mis requerimientos con mucha paciencia y una hermosa sonrisa. En Ernesto no solo encontré un realtor también descubrí un gran ser humano con empatía hacia las necesidades de sus clientes. Gracias a Ernesto este proceso de buscar y luego comprar la propiedad fue más fácil para nosotros. Les recomiendo cien por ciento a Ernesto cuando quieran comprar la casa de sus sueños.

Jim B

All in a month I made a decision to sell my house and buy a new place.

I ran into Jodi Fishbane and said when you have a chance please come and talk to me. I have made the best decision ever going with Jodi. She guided me through selling my house setting up a garage sale and just being there for me through this process. She had a four-day open house and my house sold on that weekend I couldn’t be more happier going with a person who is knowledgeable, energetic, and loving her job.

Barbara West

Jodi was a pleasure to work with.

She was always available for any questions we had. She made the next steps clear from start to finish and was always one step ahead. We will definitely be using her again when it comes time to sell our home!
