September 23rd wasThe Sue Adler Team's 5th Annual Client Appreciation "Mix and Mingle" Party and this year we did things a little bit differently. We contacted local businesses asking if they'd like to donate door prizes to introduce themselves to our clients and got an amazing 27 donations. I'd like to publicly thank and recognize these businesses for their generosity, and it's my pleasure to help promote them to our community.

I know my Midtown Direct Trainline Town restaurants, but for NYC restaurants? I totally trust my facebook friends' recommendations... yes, even more so than www.yelp.com . Why? Maybe because I feel they know me and know what I'd want.

Maplewood NJ Block Party

The more homes in New Jersey that I have shown you, the more you have heard me say: "I like my house, but I LOVE my street."

I say it partly to emphasize the idea that no house is perfect and as potential home buyers we all have to make some compromises. And, partly because it is absolutely the truth.

Block Party games

I do love my "street". When my family moved here, we had no idea that we landed among some of the best neighbors anywhere. And, our Annual Block Party in Maplewood, NJ is the day we come together to celebrate our luck of geography! READ ENTIRE ARTICLE

As a buyer's agent , I watch the rates on a weekly basis and follow the flow of the Short Hills, Summit, Maplewood market for my clients. Bankrate.com also found record lows for the average 15-year fixed mortgage (4.18 percent) and the 30-year jumbo fixed loan (5.43 percent).
