Testimonials
""We began the process of finding a realtor to sell our home by doing an extensive internet search of all local real estate offices and each of their agents. One agent, Jeanne Feenick, stood out from the rest. As others have attested, her web page is exceptional – it actually contains more pertinent data than the web page of several real estate agencies we visited. We met with Jeanne on a Sunday and by the following Friday we had a signed contract on our home for 99% of asking price. While I realize that our story is certainly not typical in today’s market, enormous credit must be given to Jeanne for the incredible job she did of quickly marketing our home on many web sites and showing the home to many realtors both within and outside of her agency. All of this occurred within five days of our initial contact with her. Our attorney, who has had many dealings with Jeanne, fondly described her as a “machine”. That she is. From the minute we contacted her, she assembled her years of business and marketing skills and accomplished an amazing amount in a few days. However, unlike a machine, Jeanne’s character is exemplary. Besides being an incredibly hard worker, Jeanne is kind, honest, empathetic and extremely ethical. She is a joy to work with! We can’t say enough kind words about Jeanne – she is simply the best!""
Diane & Tom Kimsey, Bridgewater (Martinsville section) Home Seller Mon Aug 18
""To Whom It May Concern: The importance of trust in your realtor cannot be overstated. As first time home buyers, my wife and I needed to be guided throught the process from start to finish. In Jeanne Feenick, we found a partner whose professionalism, adaptability and empathy allowed us to move through the turbulent waters of real estate with confidence. From our first contact by email, Jeanne was responsive to our questions no matter how trivial. She was always available by phone, email and in person, if necessary. She helped us effectively deal with other members of the realty profession, attorneys, inspectors and those involved in the process. Her business-like but approachable manner always allowed her to diffuse potentially tricky situations involving people we needed to interface with. Jeanne's ability to respond to situations with flexibility and a fresh perspective helped keep us comfortable with the process. Some of our requests regarding the purchasing process were unconventional, yet Jeanne barely batted an eyelid. She considered our request to meet with the sellers weeks before the purchase, saw the up-side in our particular request, and made it happen. That meeting helped seal the deal for us. Without it, and without Jeanne's willingness to go with us on it, we may not be living in the beautiful home we now find ourselves. Throughout the whole home-buying process, we felt like we had a true ally in Jeanne. She always had OUR interests in the forefront of her mind. She often said, "YOU have to be comfortable with the way we are proceeding." She often used the term "in good faith" and adopts the "win-win" philosophy of buying and selling. She understands that buying a house is much more pleasant if everyone involved is comfortable and not pressured into rash or ill-planned decision making. We really can't imagine there's a realtor out there doing the same quality of job as Jeanne Feenick did for us. If you are new to this game, or have bought and sold a dozen houses, we suggest you give this remarkable professional a call and see for yourself.""
Carll & Heidi Blanchard, Bridgewater (First TIme Buyer) 
"We had the fortunate opportunity to work with Jeannie after being referred to her by my mother. Following an exhausting and less than positive 6 month period of listing our home with another Realtor, we were not very optimistic about selling in such a challenging market. Our first appointment with Jeannie laid the foundation for what would be a positive home selling experience. Jeannie was extremely upbeat and excited about having the chance to list and sell our home, even though our home had been on the market for 6 months with another Realtor. Jeannie provided us with an overview of her services, the value her experience and professionalism would bring, and the vision of selling our home to move into a new one! During the listing period, Jeannie ALWAYS answered her phone when we called, maintained a level-headed and clear thinking mentality, and was the kind of Realtor that you would dream of working with. Within a few days of our first meeting, Jeannie had coordinated the new listing details, published our home on the MLS, sent a direct mail piece to surrounding towns, arranged for a caravan of other Realtors to view our home, and made suggestions that were well thought out and on target. Our home buyer came only a few short weeks after listing and Jeannie managed the process to a T. We could not have asked for anything more than the services she provided. We were able to sell our home while other homes in North Plainfield sat and continue to sit on the market. We highly recommend Jeannie because any other Realtor would pale in comparison. We are available to answer questions and provide additional feedback about Jeannie at any time.""
Cherie & Karl, Seller in North Plainfield, Buyer in Warren 
"Over the years, we have been involved in buying ten homes, we have worked with many real estate agents in a number of states, and we have helped our children and many friends during the process of buying or selling their homes. Of all the real estate agents we have known, Jeanne Feenick was the most professional, constantly helpful, and remarkably efficient. And perhaps even more important, she was very understanding, extremely fair and ethical, and always forthright and honest. She quickly assessed our goals and didn't try to sell us more or less than we wanted or needed; she pursued what was right for us even when it meant extra work, and she made everyone feel we were working together to accomplish a fair and equitable deal for everyone. And in the end, what often can become a stressful or difficult experience was an easy, positive, and good transaction. We have recommended Jeanne to others several times, we've asked her advice on real estate issues, and we value the experience and contact we have had with her.""
The Schundler's, Bedminster Townhome Buyer 
""Whether you are looking to buy or sell real estate, Jeanne Feenick should be your agent! We did not realize how important she was to our success in buying a home until we had to sell property outside her service area. Suffice to say that it became very clear that which realtor you chose makes quite a large difference in how well/easy the real estate transaction can go! She is diligent, markedly competent, responsive, persistent, and savvy in how the market is trending and presently acting. Her website has more current and better information than many of the other real estate websites, and even the local papers!""

Jeanne Feenick - New Jersey answered:
Hi Diane, the market is so tough right now. I'd heard it said, it's a price war and a beauty contest - and you've got to win both to succeed. Sit down with your agent and revisit your price right away - the goal of pricing is to attract activity and an acceptable offer. If you haven't, then you need to adjust it downward. Also, ask for feedback on any further improvements you can make to improve your standings in the "beauty contest". Once all that is done, just support your agent's efforts to continue pushing hard.

The one thing I will say is that while it is slow now, and will likely get slower with the holidays upon us, the buyers that are out there seem to be "real" - I've seen more relo buyers and those are always good opportunities because they have to buy.

Good luck.

Tips (as in gratuities) at closing?

Jeanne Feenick - New Jersey answered:
Jeannie back - I see that you have asked more specifically about whether it would be appropriate for the title closing agent - you know I suspect that answer is the same as for other professionals involved in the transaction. Is there an agent involved, or is the title closing agent handling the closing altogether? For agents, it is regulated, I'm just not sure about title closing agents - but if not, and you are pleased and so inclined, then go with your heart. - Fri Nov 14 2008, 18:37
Hi there, I am an agent in NJ and concur with those that have responded so far - compensation to an agent - in any form, must be disclosed and pass through the broker of record so a tip is out. Even such things as agent bonuses - in dollars or value - must pass through the broker. So a tip to the agent is out. But as stated before, a thank you and if you are pleased a testimonial with your approval to publish on the agent's website or use in their marketing is the best form of gratitude.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to NJ!

Jeanne Feenick - New Jersey answered:
Hi Phyllis, I'd suggest that you contact the listing realtor for status. You may be able to submit an offer directly to the seller's attorney as back-up and depending on whether there are outstanding contingencies opne, you may be able to get further than that.
