"Kate was great overall. Could not have asked for a better agent experience. "

I have moved 11 times! Yes, I know exactly what you are going through, I have been in your shoes 11 times! A love for Real Estate can be a dangerous thing. After my family's 7th or 8th move, my husband finally said to me, "If you love doing this so much, do you think you can do this for someone else and allow us to stay in a house long enough to put up drapes?" And I did. For the last 15 years I have loved every minute of guiding my clients through the complicated process of buying or selling a home. I have however moved my family several more times in the interim. My children still tease me, "Mom doesn't Spring clean, she just moves.". This is a wonderful and exciting journey you are embarking on and I would love to be a part of your experience.

"Working with Cathy is an absolute pleasure. Her knowledge of the local market and housing trends is ..."

Julie is a licensed real estate agent and is currently with Coldwell Banker RB in Upper Montclair.

I have over twenty years of experience in both commercial and residential real estate. As a full-time, full-service agent I focus on unbeatable performance in three areas: positioning properties to sell, negotiating the best deal, and coordinating the closing details. Today’s buyers are demanding homes that are much more than “move-in ready.” Creating that transformation takes knowing the updates and details that make the big impact and create an emotional connection with buyers. I have been incorporating home staging as part of my full-service approach long before it became a hot topic. My expertise has helped my clients to achieve better sale prices and shorter times on market. My success has been acknowledged by being selected to host a segment of NBC’s LXTV Open House NYC, offering staging tips. I also provide my clients the knowledge and support of an expert team of real estate, marketing, finance, legal and home improvement professionals. My husband, Geoffrey, is also a licensed real estate agent and provides professional marketing and photography support for every client we work with. I market homes to their best advantage, publicizing them on all the major real estate websites, and the two largest local MLS sites, for unmatched exposure to buyers and their agents. I focus on three local market areas: Glen Ridge/Montclair, West Essex (the Caldwells, Essex Fells, Roseland, Verona, and Cedar Grove), and Bloomfield/Nutley. I am very familiar with the entire northern New Jersey area, and have worked successfully with clients from Cape May to Bergen County. As a consistent top performer, my New Jersey Association of Realtors and local real estate office sales recognition include: New Jersey Association of Realtors NJAR Circle of Excellence 2016 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2015 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2014 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2013 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2012 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2011 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2009 – Bronze NJAR Circle of Excellence 2008 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2006 – Silver NJAR Circle of Excellence 2005 – Bronze Office Awards 2017 – Keller Williams Cap Status Achieved at 6 Months. 2015 – Top Selling Agent for Coldwell Banker, Caldwell NJ Office.
