Team Nest Builder - Lynn Garafola, Sparta, NJ Realtor — Local services in Little Ferry

We had the pleasure of using Lynn and Glenn Garafola as our realtors in the sale of our home in Sparta, NJ this past summer. We had lived in our home 28 years, and had made the huge decision to move out of our "forever home" to be closer to our grandchildren in Colorado.

As one can imagine, this was a very emotional time for us. We had finally gotten our house updated and loved it. Letting go was going to be a difficult step. Both Lynn and Glenn seemed to sense this, and they were very sensitive with their suggestions on how to stage our home and begin to see it through others' eyes, one of the key steps to letting it go. When it came to pricing, we obviously would have wanted more for our lovely home, but they knew what the market would bear.

We had the house all ready for showing, the incredible photographer/videographer, Jen, did a wonderful job in just a short amount of time. The house showed beautifully online, and we even sent a note to Lynn stating we wanted to buy that house!

Well, it turned out we were not the only ones thinking that. The couple who eventually bought our house saw it in a preview, and made the first appointment available, offering full asking price within 12 hours of the listing going online. This is how it happens when you have your house ready, set the right price and have the right buyer at the right time. We NEVER expected our house to sell that quickly, and Lynn and Glenn were very helpful, guiding us along the way with what we should do next. There were some issues that popped up, as happens with older houses, and Glenn had a very calming manner to help us through.

Whether it was the staging, pricing, videography or marketing tools they used, the Team Nest Builders knew what they were doing. I would trust them to sell our house all over...

We came to Lynn and Glenn Garafola (Team Nest) through a referral by a good friend. It is certainly a great benefit to be working with a team where both players bring complimentary skills and talents. Lynn is a very capable and well networked real estate professional bringing strong market knowledge, transparency, and pragmatism to her clients. Glenn brings project and process management discipline as well as solid insight about home features and a balanced perspective about potential challenges. Together, they provide the complete package of support for both home purchase and sale. They work seamlessly with you through every step of the process. You certainly know where you are in the process and the next steps or potential obstacles moving forward. Most importantly, through it all, they are always working for you and your interests. When selling, they will recommend proactive actions making sure the home is properly staged, marketed, and inspection ready. During the home search, they are keen to understand your family needs, your preferences, and possible tradeoffs. In purchasing a new home, they connect all the dots with inspectors, lawyers, and lenders to orchestrate a successful closing.

We highly recommend Lynn and Glenn. Ours was a lengthy home search, we purchased our dream home prior to listing our current home, and were fortunate to sell within our target time frame. Through it all, we were in good hands. We appreciated their insight, professionalism and patience, trusted they would protect our interests, and knew they were bringing their...

I cannot put into words how thankful I'm to have worked with Lynn and Glenn Garafola on helping us find (and close on!) my new house in Sparta New Jersey.

From the very beginning, she was just on top of EVERYTHING. We had an initial sit down to talk about neighborhoods, our budget, etc. and she worked to put together a plan that felt so us, so personalized and yet so professional. She sourced homes for us to check out and it wasn't uncommon to me to receive emails from her in the middle of the night and week ends with updates or just checking in. She was also very much in tune with what our priorities were when looking for our home.

She came to the table with vendor relationships and recommendations which proved to be invaluable. People who would go out of their way to pull ME aside and tell me how much they love working with Lynn. How often can you say that about your real estate agent?

On top of everything else, Lynn and Glenn guided us through the entire process with a smile. Besides her sharp professionalism and attention to detail, she brought personality, humor and levity to every single day. It goes without saying Lynn and Glenn will be our agent of choice for all of our future real estate endeavors.
