What clients say about this agent....
We work with Soha since 2011, when we bought our apartment. Now we are renting it, because we moved to Florida, and we always rely on her. We are so lucky to know her and to work with her!
Arjun was truly exceptional. We met him at the property and was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the market and the neighborhood. Arjun was always available and eager to help in any way. He patiently answered any and all questions. He made us feel every question was important. He is the type of agent who will work with you to make sure your wishes and/or desires are met. He worked through several difficult situations without losing a step. He is cool under pressure. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy property. He is tops in his profession.
We moved to Jersey City from Queens, NY. We didn't know much about the area and had only visited a couple of times but wanted to buy and the prices in Queens were impossible for out budget. We reached out initially to his partner , Soha Fontaine, who then assigned her colleague James to us. He showed would show us as many places as we wanted to see (although was frank with us that we should limit how many we saw per-day so that we could remain engaged and focused on what we were looking at) and had an extremely flexible schedule. We drove in from Queens I don't even know how many days and every time we picked a spot of where to meet and when, he showed up early - every time. Despite having the sense that James had a lot of clients, we never had the sense that we were any less important than ones where he might earn a much higher commission. What I also really appreciated was that when we were looking at a property or talking to him, he was always focused on what we were doing right then - not taking other calls - not looking at other listings or appointments. He was there for us for sure. Not only reliable, James was relatable and lives in the area where he works and has for quite some time so there's no question he knows what's what in terms of neighborhoods, proximity to good schools / nightlife / transportation and other amenities that matter when choosing a home. He is also very experienced in the business so we had total fail in him to follow through with every aspect of the buying process.
We met with a few real estate agents for the sale of a one bedroom Jersey City condo. During the interview, we knew she had the experience and the local contacts needed to upgrade the condo and stage the unit in preparation for the sale of the unit. We decided to move forward with Soha because she found us a contractor who would help us get the condo on the market quickly as interest rates were rising quickly. We were on a time crunch to get a decent offer on the unit and we needed it ready quickly! Her contractor was able to complete the job within weeks from repairs on the hardwood floors, painting the ceiling and walls to putting in new cabinets and sink in the kitchen. Since we are from California, Soha helped us coordinate and oversaw all the work that needed to be done with the condo. She made it all seamless. Before the apartment upgrade was done, staged or listed, Soha already had an offer on the table. She worked her negation skills and was able to get us far more than the initial offer from the buyer. The condo sold before it even got listed or had a single open house. During the entire process working with Soha, she showed herself to be a good negotiator in such a graceful professional manner. We use her again and highly recommend Soha Fontaine.
Arjun was thorough, open, and honest as we worked through a month long negotiation and months long closing process. He never pressured us into moving faster than we were comfortable going.
Working with James was a pleasure. He helped from start to finish, worked with us through several months of searching for a home. James is very responsive and helpful, and can answer any and all questions we had. As a first time homebuyer, working with someone like James is very helpful as he made the entire process seamless and also enjoyable.
James is wonderful! Personable, thoughtful, experienced and well connected. Some of my friends referred me to James and I am so grateful that they did! He connected me to my attorney, my painter and while looking at condos he helped me envision what I could make the space. He was also good with pointing out things that would be expensive or troublesome to fix in several condos. The whole process was made easier with his expertise.
It was a pleasure working with James and the whole Remax team. James is very knowlegeable and great real estate specialist! He listened carefully and understood what we were looking for and made great recommendations. James was highly responsive to all our questions. He was able to help us find our new home in Hoboken, NJ in a day and was there with us all through the whole process. We would highly recommend James any time!
James is very knowledgeable and thorough. Really knows the area and the market in Hudson County. He showed and helped us buy the right property for us. We would highly recommend James if you are looking to buy property.
Cassandra is incredibly kind, understanding, passionate and thorough. She just helped me close a cash deal in just 6 weeks. She has been stellar, from beginning to end. I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again soon. Cassandra, keep up with the great work!
