What to do with that broken down computer and electronic equipment? You can't just toss it away in the trash. And what about things like household chemicals, paints, or even motor oils?

Radon Gas is a subject that comes up with almost every Real Estate transaction in North Jersey. Many consumers are clueless however about what radon gas is, where it comes from, how it can affect you, and what it means to your Real Estate transaction.
Radon gas occurs naturally in the earth and can move through soil and rock entering buildings through cracks and openings. Once radon is inside a building, it will tend to remain indoors because most structures are designed to keep heated or cooled air from escaping. Also, lower air pressure inside buildings can create a vacuum, drawing radon into the home. Several factors can affect the concentration of radon in a home including: soil characteristics, building type, foundation condition, occupant lifestyle, and even weather.
Being exposed to high concentrations of radon over an extended period of time can pose a risk of lung cancer. The higher the level of radon, the higher the risk. The standard acceptable level of radon concentration in any dwelling is 4 pCi/L. Most Radon specialists will recommend a radon mitigation system be installed in any home with a level of 4 pCi/L or above. These systems are relatively easy to have installed, fairly inexpensive, and highly effective...removing radon gas from the living quarters and releasing it back outside into the atmosphere were it can dissipate naturally.
So when purchasing your new home, especially in North Jersey, make sure to have a radon test performed along with your home inspection. Radon is here folks, but being informed and knowing what to do about it can make a world of difference in your decision making and your future happiness.
We'll help you navigate your way through your Real Estate transaction...every step of the way!

The 1958 NFL Championship Game was a classic.
50 years ago today - December 28, 1958 - the game that changed the face of the National Football League took place in New York at Yankee Stadium. The NY Giants and Baltimore Colts participated in what has become to be known as the greatest game in NFL history - a game that captured the nations attention and started America's fascination with Pro Football to help propel the league into the number one sports entity it is today.
The game featured many legendary NFL stars such as: Pat Summerall, Frank Gifford, Kyle Rote, Charlie Conerly, Sam Huff, and Andy Robustelli for the Giants and Johnny Unitas, Alan Ameche, Raymond Berry, Jim Parker, and Art Donovan for the Colts. The Colts had Weeb Ewbank (who would later lead the NY Jets to their only Super Bowl victory in 1969) as their Head Coach, while the Giants employed two Assistant coaches who would go on to become coaching legends - Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi.
But what made this game special was the fact that this was the first ever overtime game in NFL history. The excitement of the hard fought battle with so much at stake and the sudden death finish was something not previously experienced by football fans. Was it technically the best football game that was ever played? Most experts, including many of the participants, would say no. But in terms of importance to the growth and expansion of a league, the 1958 Colts / Giants Championship Game was indeed...The Greatest Game Ever.

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
