About Me
Whether Buying or Selling ~ Expect Superior Service!

My extensive marketing know-how, negotiating skills, and knowledge of the local real estate market will be your best asset when it's time to find a new place to call home. As a real estate professional, I regularly go the extra mile for my customers. My experience allows me to handle every phase of your transaction smoothly and efficiently.

As a life-long resident of Essex County, I bring personal knowledge of the community to my clients. My family has lived in the area for over one hundred years thus providing buyer clients with insight gained from personal knowledge.

I am committed to providing my valued customers and clients with professional, courteous, and timely service. My guiding principle is "superior service = superior results." My comprehensive marketing plans are enhanced by extensive use of the Internet to expose the homes I market to the greatest number of prospective buyers. I specialize in residential and luxury home sales. My marketing plans include advertising listings on 15+ local and national web sites, virtual home tours, computer generated floor plans, full-color home feature brochures, magazine and newspaper advertising, innovative web-based transaction management (viewable by buyers & sellers 24/7), and more. Why settle for a Realtor that offers less? Call or email me today!

Testimonials
"Matt did everything he said he would and more. It was all the little things, like bringing apple pie to the Open House and even helping my wife move furniture. Moreover, his advice was excellent and realistic. His recommendations on pricing were right on. His input on 'staging' our home was invaluable. At a time when all the media could talk about was the housing bubble bursting, and with the average home being on the market for 5 months, we sold our home in 35 days. Listen to his advice. He's a pro, and is very much in tune with the housing market in our area. Be candid and open. It will help him do his job better. He will be always available, always returns calls promptly, and has good resources."

"We thought the quality of Matt's service was wonderful. he went above & beyond our expectations when we were looking for a house to buy. He was able to find many places that were accommodating. He provided us with binders of information on our towns of interest. Included in the binder, was information on the history, commuting adn schools just to name a few. It was very thorough."
Gary & Christine Lamanna Tue Jun 17
"Matts's service as our agent was top notch and we really enjoyed working with him. he always suggested houses that she felt we may be interested in based on the specific criteria and towns that we were looking for. One thing to note is that he was always punctual and we never had to worry about him being at a location at a particular time. He always showed us many houses and seemed honest in his own opinion and advice for us as first time single family home-buyers. Matt would point both positive and negative things of a house. When looking at houses, Matt was always full of suggestions and ideas and helped us see houses in a different light. he also was on top of all the new houses that came onto the market and would check them out as soon as they hit the market to see if they would be of interested to us. He would even take pictures of the house and surrounding neighborhood with her camera phone and then e-mail them to us so that we can have a feel of what it is like before actually physically visiting the house. His service was incredible."

"The service Matt provided us was fabulous. We even called her before making the offer for our current home at 10PM for his advice on the right number. I know that's something people wouldn't normally do, but he made us fell comfortable and we felt that his advice would work well in our favor. In addition, he never pushed us towards a decision. We were slow and meticulous in our decision and Matt always supported us in this regard. We were and are totally satisfied with Perri's service."
Ralph & Maryann Leyrer Tue Jun 17
"I've done my share of buying and selling homes...5 plus 2 rental properties in the past 8 years. Matt was one of the best agents I've ever dealt with. (We) often wondered if Matt was supporting any other customers outside of us since she had everything so well organized. I think he listened closely to what we were looking for and continually improved the homes that we were shown so we weren't wasting time looking at houses that were not a good fit."

Asked Wed Jul 9 2008, 11:48 by John  -  Summit  -  Home Selling  -  5 answers
Matthew DeFede answered:
It dependsm is your area all 2 family homes or one family homes? it hase to do what is suitable for the location, in Summit I am thinking a one family but I need to know what is around it. If it can be marketed as a 2 family than leave it be. The other question ism is it a legal 2 family? - Wed Jul 9 2008, 12:06
Jen, Home Buyer in North Ironbound

What North Jersey town is good for a starter home purchase that is near to NYC?

Asked Wed Jul 9 2008, 11:25 by Jen  -  Newark  -  General Area  -  11 answers
Matthew DeFede answered:
those are all great towns, but I think Nutley is a fantastic town to start. Close to NYC lower taxes allot more to do for a young family starting out. You can get a 3 bedroom home in the 350k-450k range. - Wed Jul 9 2008, 12:03
Internizzi, Home Buyer in New York

Would anyone be able to set me up for an automatic email notifications from the NJMLS, for properties in?

Matthew DeFede answered:
I have something even better than an automated e-mail, Have you ever heard of a Home Scouting Report? it is far more advanced than an MLS report copy and paste this in your browser
