For buyers
Buying a home in North Jersey
Whether it's your first condo or a two family you plan to live in and rent out, I'll help you buy the right place at the right price. I've bought and renovated my own, so I know what it feels like from your side of the table.
How I help
How I help buyers
A plan before listings
Before we tour anything, we talk about your budget, your timeline, and how you actually live. Then I map that onto the towns that fit, from Jersey City and Hoboken out to Bergen, Essex, and Morris County.
Homes that aren't on Zillow
Compass agents have access to hundreds of private exclusive listings across North Jersey at any given time. If the right home is one of them, I can get you through the door before other buyers know it exists.
Offers that win without overpaying
I spend a lot of time on the listing side, so I know how sellers read offers. We build your terms and financing to give the seller confidence, which is often what wins when the price is close.

Ways to buy
Condos, houses, and two to four family homes
Condos
Condos are the most common first purchase in Jersey City and Hoboken. Before you offer, we read the HOA budget, the reserve study, and the bylaws so a special assessment or a rental cap doesn't catch you off guard later.
Houses and multifamily
I work on everything from single family homes in Bergen and Morris County to two to four family buildings in Hudson. With a multifamily you can live in one unit and let the rent from the others carry part of the mortgage, which is how I got my own start.
Low down payment options
FHA loans start at 3.5 percent down on homes up to four units if you live in one of them. A 203k loan rolls the renovation budget into the mortgage, and I work with lenders who actually close these.
