We've all seen examples of natural disasters that can strike at any time. Whether it be forest fires wreaking havoc in California or the flooding problems that we experience in North Jersey, it's important to have a plan of action for the family of course, but it's also important to include the family pet(s) in that plan. Knowing ahead of time what is needed and where you can take your pet should the need arise can prevent potential heartache in the future.
Liz Gruen, owner of Kamp Kanine in Little Falls NJ has offered some helpful tips to pet owners helping them plan for any emergency situations. 1) Make sure your pets carry proper identification. Tags on collars are useful but having your pet micro chipped is better. 2) Contact your towns police or fire department to find out about their emergency operation plan - specifically how it relates to pets. 3) Have an emergency "toolkit" for your pet including proper carriers, leases, food and water for three days, bowls, litter, medications, your Vet's phone number, and a recent photo of your pet for identification purposes.
Bottom line is this, if you are proactive and have a plan in place before an emergency situation happens, both you and your pet have a much better chance of being re-united safely and happily when things begin to get back to normal.

Here's some real information about the Real Estate Market in New Jersey provided By the NJ Association of Realtors ® :
You can't open up your morning newspaper or turn on the nightly news without being inundated with information and reports about the condition of the housing market. Despite the often generalized and negative news about the national real estate market, New Jersey's continues to offer a number of tremendous opportunities. In fact, the 2007 New Jersey Home Buyer and Seller Profile found that the typical seller has lived in their home 7 years. A June 2008 report issued by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) found that within those seven years the typical New Jersey homeowner will have accumulated nearly $156,300 in housing equity. It's time to read beyond the headlines. Don't let the negative perceptions surrounding the national real estate marketplace influence you; take a moment and explore the REAL story.
In early June, the New Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NJAR®) launched a public education campaign to provide consumers with accurate information about state and local housing conditions. The campaign encourages people to take a closer look at local market conditions, state or regional economic factors and their own personal circumstances when making a decision about whether right now is the time for them to buy or sell a home.

As I got involved with helping my friend Mike DeFrancisci with his campaign for Mayor of Little Falls NJ, I had the pleasure of meeting Lou Fontana who was running for a Town Council seat along side Mike. Both Mike and Lou were victorious in November and took the oath of office on January 5, 2009. Lou is a long time resident of Little Falls and having spent some time with him, I can say that he will be an asset to the town as Councilman. I wish Lou all the best in his upcoming term and salute his dedication to serving his community. Here's the video I took of Lou's swearing-in

Our goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what our clients have said about our real estate services...
Dear Jim & Jean-Marie, Thank you ever so much for your patience and perservering in spite of formidable odds (the NJ Surrogate Court)! And yes, the buyers look happy in the 2 photos that you sent us - almost as happy as we look! Again - thank you for all of your help, and for keeping us more or less sane thru this process.
Nancy & Brian Johnson - 12 Brentwood Dr, Verona
Being a first-time buyer is always a nerve racking experience, fortunately for my fiance' and I we found Jean-Marie and the process was a breeze. Not only did she find us the perfect first home which is everything we had wanted, but she made the transaction smooth and effortless. She always had a handle on the transaction and had us ready for closing in three weeks. Now I always recommend her expertise to anyone who is looking for a great realtor."
Monika, North Caldwell
"Recently, I purchased a condo in Montclair and Jean-Marie was awesome! Being a first-time home buyer, I wasn't sure what to expect but she was there every step of the way, guiding me through the process. Our communication was very open and honest which made finding that perfect home quite easy. She knew what I was looking for and within 2.5 weeks, I put in an offer. A month later, I moved in!! If the time comes when I'll be looking for another home, I'd love to work with Jean-Marie again!"
Jeanine, Montclair
Jim,
We just wanted to thank you for all of your guidance (and patience). Because of you the immensely daunting undertaking of purchasing our first home was enjoyable and gratifying. We will be recommending you in the future. Thanks again.
Nicole & Don - Little Falls
Dear Jim,
I just wanted to say "thank you" for all your hard work in bringing Tulip Crescent to closing. I enjoyed working with you and hope to have the opportunity to do it again.
Mary Tetzloff, Sales Associate - Montclair Realty
Thanks for the job you did selling my house in 1 week! You were right about the pricing netting me $100,000 more than if I sold it on my own like I wanted to. I'll gladly refer you to my friends and family.
John Malenich
Thank you for helping us buy our 2 family home. We are very happy.
Juan & Yuderki Estrella
Jim, How can we thank you enough for your devoted and dedicated work? Thank you so much for over extending yourself and putting 110% effort towards selling our condo! We will refer you to all our friends and families if they ever decide to move. Thank you!
