⏳️ My clients had a tight deadline for move in and were ahead of schedule when we had our deal fall apart during negotiations. Time was ticking, there wasn't a lot of homes to choose from and the pressure was building and we were beginning to wonder if we were going to find a house or if time was going to run out on us.
🧘♂️ To their credit, Cris and Ana remained positive and resilient throughout. We finally found another home in Bergenfield, NJ and it turned out to be a much better deal than the first (details in the video 📹). We were able to move them in right before Christmas 🎄 and I'm so excited it worked out perfectly for them. 🏡 Buying a home isn't easy. There is often a bit of turbulence in every deal. It's par for the course when you're negotiating big deals with big dollars at stake. Its why you need a strong negotiator you can trust in your corner.
Grateful 🙏🏽 to be apart of their journey. 🤝🏽 If any of your friends/family are looking to buy or sell, feel free to connect us.
Thanks to: Vamanonos Digital for capturing the story 🎥
After putting in a couple offers and getting beat out, Lori & Charlie found a diamond in the ruff in Oakland NJ Bergen County. We got their offer accepted at full list and the seller installed a brand new septic prior to closing!
Cheers to new beginnings for your family and many happy memories in your new home
Thanks to Cucina 347 in Oakland for an amazing closing lunch

This one was extra special for me. Jimmy and I were roommates in NYC, he was the best man at my wedding and got me in the door at our previous employer, where we worked together for 9 years.
He's as solid as they come. When he mentioned that him and Kinjal were looking for their dream home in New Jersey, I was thrilled to be in a position to make sure they got everything they wanted.
Welcome home Kinjal and James!
So thrilled to have you so close.

I met Jimmy through a friend (and former bo$$) Kushal.
Jimmy's company was relocating him and his family to NJ and he needed to find the right home in a short amount of time. They were looking for a 4bed home with high ceilings, enough room for entertaining inside and out within a neighborhood with access to a great education and plenty of lifestyle options.
#Randolph definitely checked off all those boxes and it was actually their son Ethan that chose this home over another contender as his cousins are close by in Parsippany.
I'm really excited for them as they begin a new journey in New Jersey!
P.S. - Big big thank you to Kushal for referring your good friend. Appreciate the love
We got you that Ridgewood, NJ (Bergen County) address within walking distance to downtown. You flagged this house the day it came on market and we moved quickly and had our offer accepted with no bidding war (in this economy!?!). We challenged a low appraisal (super weird) and won and even endured through some closing delays (and an anxious seller) to get to the closing table.
Congratulations!
In 2019, you entrusted me to sell your 2-family in Jersey city - my first listing in real estate.
Now we've closed our 2nd deal together and learned a ton in the process. As you said, we truly are growing together in real estate. I'm honored and thankful to be able to work with you guys.
Wishing you good health, prosperity and a ton of happy memories in your new home! Once you're settled in, I'd love to grab a #cigar at The Tobacco Shop on Chestnut St. in Ridgewood.
Until the next one - Cheers

Section 203(k) insures mortgages covering the purchase or refinancing and rehabilitation of a home that is at least a year old. A portion of the loan proceeds is used to pay the seller, or, if a refinance, to pay off the existing mortgage, and the remaining funds are placed in an escrow account and released as rehabilitation is completed. The cost of the rehabilitation must be at least $5,000, but the total value of the property must still fall within the FHA mortgage limit for the area. The value of the property is determined by either (1) the value of the property before rehabilitation plus the cost of rehabilitation, or (2) 110 percent of the appraised value of the property after rehabilitation, whichever is less.
Many of the rules and restrictions that make FHA's basic single family mortgage insurance product (Section 203(b)) relatively convenient for lower income borrowers apply here. But lenders may charge some additional fees, such as a supplemental origination fee, fees to cover the preparation of architectural documents and review of the rehabilitation plan, and a higher appraisal fee.

Ricardo talks about New Yorkers migrating to New Jersey in record numbers. He also explains how the pandemic forced families to find more living space.
In this episode I talk about how to avoid Deal Fatigue. Deal fatigue refers to a condition during negotiations where parties on either side of the negotiation begin to feel frustrated, helpless, or exhausted by the seemingly unending negotiation process.
The best advice I can give you when negotiating a deal is to:
1) Understand your leverage,
Avoid deal fatigue and close the deal. That's what we're all here to do - Cheers!
