About:

Knowledgeable, reliable, driven, and creative are but a handful of adjectives that best describe Karen Eastman Bigos, the consummate professional. After Knowledgeable, reliable, driven, and creative are but a handful of adjectives that best describe Karen Eastman Bigos, the consummate professional. After 23 years of selling Residential Real Estate for two large corporations, Bigos and her business partner of seven years, Daniel Cannizzo, put their expertise into designing her own brand and has launched the start of an independent Real Estate Boutique called Towne Realty Group, LLC. in February 2006.
Located at 511 Millburn Avenue, Short Hills, Bigos & Cannizzo are just two blocks away from where they attended Millburn High School, and steps from the two large corporations where Bigos worked for more than a decade each. Following in her mother Sandi Eastman’s footsteps as a local Realtor, she focused her entire career in the community where she was raised and she works to give back to her hometown by sitting on committees for the Paper Mill Playhouse, raising funds for the 4th of July Committee and serving on the Board of Trustees for the Millburn-Short Hills Historical Society, where she contributes valuable data and photos on local Real Estate.
Completing her 17th year on the Board of Directors of the Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Commerce brings a lot of satisfaction. This is an organization that her late father, and former downtown business owner, Martin Eastman, served as a past President. Her participation shows her commitment to the public and she enjoys networking with business owners, some of whom she has known her entire life. Never one to shy away from contributing time to charitable organizations, Bigos believes that success is more satisfying when she gets involved in causes outside of her occupation.
No stranger to hard work, Bigos has recently completed the online e-PRO course and is a relentless online marketer of herself and her listings. She has been recognized by the New Jersey Association of Realtors for earning the Circle of Excellence Award for twenty years and she was twice named the Number One Agent at Burgdorff Realtors company, consistently placing in the top ten for the entire corporation year after year. If plaques and awards told the whole story, Bigos could write a book as one of the top Realtors in Short Hills for over a decade. In 2007, she was selected to be on the cover of North Jersey's Broker - Agent Magazine, based her solid reputation amongst her peers.
Working with her, Daniel Cannizzo and her husband, Mark Bigos, gives the whole operation the precision of a fine tuned machine that is sure to be a winning combination. Bigos says, “We all agree that the way to be profitable is to focus on total transaction service. Keeping our clients and customers well informed, being fair, treating fellow colleagues with respect, paying attention to all the details, and keeping ahead of the competition with revolutionary technology are the trademarks of our winning record in the past and what will keep us focused on building for the future.”
One of the best reasons to hire Bigos is that she likes her job and she is always willing to go the extra mile. Towne Realty Group intends to do business the old fashioned way; one client at a time, where the relationships with their clients and customers take precedence and the company has all the savoir-faire of the 21st Century. ... show more

Wht should I expect to pay for a 6BD/6BR fnshed bsmt/attic house in Deerfield; 5yr old house good cndtn with .51 acr land? wht prce range is

Asked Mon Sep 19, 2011 by Funnyman - Market Conditions in 07078 - 6 answers

Karen Eastman Bigos 201-417-1600 answered:

I have a few questions first: Is it on a busy street and is the property level and nicely landscaped? Can you tell me the tax assessment or 2010 taxes? Is there a bedroom on the 1st floor? It would help to know if there is a 2 or 3 car garage and if it is on the main level in the basement. If 5BR's are all on one level that would be more valuable than just 4 on the 2nd floor. Each of these factors would be considered in an value analysis. I can send you a list of 6BR homes that sold but there are so many contributing factors to price. Also you wrote 6BD/6BR, was that supposed to be 6 Bedrooms and 6 Baths? If you want to email me privately at kb@trghome.com I can give you a better analysis after I have some more data. - Mon Sep 19, 2011
