"Incredible Hard Work, Devotion, Intelligence'
We are writing to express our deep appreciate for the work of Elaine Pruzon in managing the sale of our historic home and the purchase of an equally unique and special home that was perfect for us. Even in this difficult market, Elaine managed to negotiate a contract for the sale of our home in Short Hills in record time (less than one week on the MLS) and at a record price for Short Hills this year. The closing of the sale and the purchase of our new home proved to be extremely complicated. As our attorney noted, he had not seen such an interesting and delicate transaction in his 38 years of practicing real estate law. Elaine made both of these transactions happen through her incredible hard work, devotion, intelligence, strong negotiating skills, interpersonal skills, and sound judgment. We seriously doubt that the sale and purchase would have occured absent Elaine. Elaine is a real treasure. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy one of our best Christmases. We are very much looking forward to moving into our new home.

Working With An Agent >A Real Estate Agents Reality
The process of guiding a home sales transaction is in reality more complex than many people realize. When qualified buyers present an offer on your home, it might seem that the deal is done, but this is only the beginning of the negotiations process. Ideally, this aspect of the transaction culminates in a meeting of the minds. At no point can the real estate agent just sit back and relax, because the "glue" that holds each transaction together is subject to a variety of factors and forces that may cause the deal to fall apart.
We can only hope that there are no surprises during the home inspections. We have to presume that the appraiser will think the house is worth as much as the buyer and seller do, but this is never guaranteed. As the buyers make their loan application, we cross our fingers that the credit report reveals they always pay their bills on time.
Rarely is a transaction completed without a few problems. A real estate agent's professional skills come into play primarily during the time between contract ratification and the closing. At this point, we use our creativity, patience and negotiating skills to achieve a happy resolution to your transaction.
