Schuyler-Colfax House -

generation of the family, when it became a Wayne Township Museum. The museum is
open to the public on weekends only, 1:00PM - 4:00PM. |

What Bob Says About Kinnelon:
"This lovely town is noted for it's
scenic beauty with large, wooded properties and desire neighborhoods such as
the prestige, gated community of Smoke Rise and Fayson Lakes with homes at
attractive prices. The schools are rated among the tops in New Jersey and there
are beautiful parks for the family. Living in Kinnelon gives one the feeling of
breathing fresh air and being away from the urban hustle and
bustle."
|
What Bob Says About Pompton Plains:
"A warm, small town feeling is what
makes Pompton Plains such a desirable community for so many people and it
typically seems that when residents seek to upgrade to a larger home they tend
to stay in town. Large, level properties and manicured neighborhoods are found
here with excellent schools, family services, and a nice little downtown
shopping area. There is also easy access to Route 287 and Route
80."
|
What Bob Says About Clifton:
"Diversity is a word that
appropriately describes the City of Clifton with the broad range of prime real
estate that includes entry level to upscale homes, multi-families, townhomes
& condos along with a solid base of industrial and retail properties that
make Clifton property taxes attractive to buyers. Diversity is also found in
the variety of cultures of people that make up this desirable place to
live."
|
What Bob Says About Totowa:
"Totowa Borough, as it is known to
it's residents, has been a sought after destination for many people due to the
fine schools and neighborhoods featuring attractive homes at comfortable
prices. Many borough residents have chosen to stay in town and move up to
prestigious Dey Hill Farms and Arlington Estates with the fabulous elevated
views of the Passaic Valley. With Route 80 and Route 46 right there the town is
a convenient location for commuters."
|
What Bob Says About Little Falls:
"For many years buyers have
considered Little Falls a great place to live due to the warm, small town
atmosphere. Well maintained homes, unique condos & townhomes, and great
shopping are just some of the reasons. With the new direct train service to New
York the secret is out that this is a great place to invest your money and
raise a family."

Accepting An Offer >A Tough Sale
Here is a situation that many buyers have experienced. After searching for weeks, you found the perfect home and you made a very low offer. The sellers responded with a counter-offer which was several thousand dollars lower than their asking price. You came back with a slightly higher bid, and they came down some more. After many days of back and forth, you finally reached a meeting of the minds, and you are very pleased with the results.
If you have driven a hard bargain in purchasing a house, be sensitive to the seller's feelings as the transaction proceeds. They may be suffering from the impact of a rough negotiation. Try to minimize any additional requests you might make of the sellers. As you move toward your closing date, keep in mind that the sellers may not share your elation. If you are considerate and avoid making excessive demands, you can help everyone walk away from the transaction feeling satisfied with the outcome.
