"Rarely do I find a REALTOR® who I trust and respect. I am so glad you walked into my office years ago, while canvassing the area. A wonderful, trusting, cooperative, working relationship has come to fruition for both of us. It is a pleasure to see that you have maintained your high standards, when other REALTORS® slack off, and that you continue to strive to be in the elite corps of our profession by always placing your clients and customers first. Keep up the GREAT WORK and I will continue to look forward to working with you for many years ahead"

"Being the seller can be an agonizing ordeal. So, this message is in appreciation of your prompt attention throughout the sale of our condo. Between your personal touch, constant updates, experience, and guidance, everything went smoothly. Not once were we left wondering what was going on. You and your team took the time to keep us up-to-date from step one to closing. I highly recommend anyone selling or buying to have you on their side for smooth sailing."
Ricardo De Abreu & Daniel Londono Mon Oct 4, 2004

"Joan acted professionally and quickly in procuring a viable buyer for my condo. I appreciated the status updates from her team and her efforts to ensure the rapid movement toward the closing. Joan's professionalism made this closing much easier for me."

How do you commute from Warren, NJ to NYC? What are the options and how long does it take during rush-hour?

Asked Mon Oct 5 2009, 17:34 by Chad Bautista - Traffic & Public Transportation in Warren - 9 answers

Joan Prout answered:

Chad,

You are spoiled by having the PATH (and ferries) to get you to NYC. Warren doesn't have a train station itself, but there are stations in Gilette and Stirling in Long Hill Township. These are on the NJ Transit Gladstone line, which takes you to the Hoboken station. I recommend to anyone who needs to commute to NYClooking to purchase in the NJ suburbs that they make use of the NJTransit.com website and it's itinerary planner. plug in the address of the property you are considering and your destination, and the website will tell you what public transportation is available. It's not perfect, and sometimes you have to tweak your input to get real answers (like it thinks my house is in Union County, when it is in Somerset County...) As far as driving it, always do a dry run, but be aware that it takes a long time if you try to drive it at peak rush times. I spent the last 14 years selling real estate in Hudson County and have lived out in Somerset County since 2000. Diving has been my only realistic option, but it STILL astounds me how long it can take. I stoppedscheduling appointments for before 10AM and I avoided leaving for home between 4 PM and 7 PM. A combo commuting option to consider is driving to Newark and parking near Newark Penn Station (I'm not sure what the proper name is for it...) It's important to have options. Contact me offlist to discuss further. - Thu Oct 8 2009, 06:53
