Details of the Recommendation: "If you are looking to buy or sell a house is this volatile market, you will need a great real estate agent to help you through the maze. Robert Northfield impressed us with his knowledge and helpfulness when we bought our house in Maplewood seven years ago. Of course things were different then, but he continues to impress us with his grasp on today's marketplace. We always recommend him without reservation to our friends who are jumping into the real estate craziness, because we are confident that Robert will come through."

To whom it may concern:

We are the new owners of  150 Glenview Road, South Orange (closed 2/13/09). Robert Northfield has been our agent throughout the transaction and we wanted to dedicate a few words and share our experience working with Robert throughout the search/offer/closing process.

When searching for an agent to work with, we have set our criteria as follows:

1) A full time agent with a proven track record of success who would put our best interests at the top of his priorities. A

2) A serious professional who was first and foremost punctual, patient, easily accessible and sensitive to our needs.

3) An experienced negotiator who could really help us get full value for our money

4) Local resident of the area we wanted to live in with deep knowledge of local real-estate market trends as well as culture, schools, entertainment etc,.

5) An expert in all aspects of home buying and selling as well as landscaping, upgrading, improving, designing and doing modification work.

6) A well connected agent who could assist in building a team of great professionals that could help expedite the closing process and move through the turbulent process as smoothly as possible.

After meeting with 8 different agents, we have met with Robert and decided to work with him right away. The difference in the level of professionalism was immediately noticeable. Besides being friendly and courteous, Robert was able to read our intentions and style very quickly and arranged an attractive selection of houses on each and every one of our visits. Not a single minute was wasted scouting “dead beat” properties. Robert provided us with clear guidance throughout the negotiations and closing procedure along with checklists and tips about each and every twist and turn. Robert was also great in teaching us about the area, the property values, contractual work, landscaping and interior design. Overall, Robert not only met all our criteria, he far exceeded it. The only thing we regret is that we spent a full month meeting with 8 other agents before we met with Robert.

Robert was a great help to us as we relocated

before we sold the house. He was always on top of

the details and did a great job of navigating through

what turned out to be a somewhat bumpy process

(through no fault of his own, but on the buyer’s

side). We liked working with Robert and would definitely

recommend him to others. I also believe that

the suggestions he gave us to help sell the house are

ultimately what made the difference in the end.

***********************************************

Thanks, Robert, and thank you for all your hard

work on our behalf over the past months. We came

back to you because we had such a great experience

working with you in 2004, and you did not disappoint.

We will continue to send business your way,

and will definitely be in touch the next time we

move (hopefully not for a very long time!).

You made it happen. I was a bystander. It’s now beyond me why anyone

would list with anyone in Maplewood other than you.

I liked:

1) Your professionalism and unwillingness to

engage in the emotional stuff. This helped keep

everything on track, including me.

2) Your doggedness in ensuring the house was

getting marketed. My neighbors and parents told

me via email about your open houses and print ads.

I was impressed you kept at it week after week.

3) You were the only agent to turn the “number of

agents in our office” thing into a benefit I understood.

I realized by hiring you I would get more

access to and more clout in the marketplace.

Robert doesn’t miss a single detail. I wouldn’t

buy or sell without him! This is the second house

I’ve bought with Robert.

I am writing to sing praises of Robert

Northfield. Robert handled the sale of my Mom’s

house in Maplewood. She passed away in February,

and we called Burgdorff to handle the sale of her

home. Robert was always courteous, professional,

efficient and responsive. He always returned my

phone calls and handled all the “little things,” which

helped make my life a whole lot easier. Robert

promised me he would sell the home quickly, and

he did—he had a buyer less than a week after I

signed the contract. The closing was smooth and

trouble-free.

I have experienced 5 real estate sale transactions

in my life, and this one was—by far—the easiest

and smoothest of them all. In the view of my wife

and myself, Robert Northfield is golden.
