"No review can do justice to the help provided by Jaime as my wife and I were looking to purchase our new home. We couldn’t have had a better person representing our interests and explaining the intricacies of each town and neighborhood we were looking at, far and wide. She was patient with our questions and I often joked with her that I “couldn’t believe she we were her only clients”! She made us feel as though we were her top priority and I’m sure others working with Jaime at the same exact time had the same experience. A fantastic and effective real estate professional and an even better person! We can’t thank her enough for navigating us through this challenging housing market and with her help and guidance, we successfully completed the purchase of our home! For those looking for a true professional real estate agent, I would without question recommend reaching out to Jaime - Thank you Jaime!!"

"Where do I begin! My wife and I met Jaime through a mutual friend and I knew right away that she would help us get the home we have been searching for. We had been looking for about 2 years and Jaime not only helped us reach our goal, she maneuvered every turn with positivity and persistence that helped us stay focused and strong during such a stressful time. As a whole, Jaime is a great person and is very dedicated to her career. It shines through from the first video call to the very very end. We never felt alone while going through this process and we are forever grateful. And for any human of the LGBTQIA+ world, she brings a safe and nonjudgmental environment to every aspect of this process as well. We highly recommend Jaime if you’re looking to jump into this crazy market. She is simply the best!"

“Jaime was absolutely wonderful to work with!! We were so grateful to have her partnership throughout the process of selling our home. She guided us through every step along the way. I have no doubt that her market expertise combined with her knowledge and appreciation for the architecture and design details of our home was key in selling our house quickly and getting us the best possible value. Thank you Jaime.“
★★★★★
“Jaime is definitely the best agent in New Jersey. Don't just take my word for it! Everyone else we talked to in the process of buying a home (the lender, the inspectors, the lawyers, even other agents... all people who had nothing to gain by saying so) all would not stop singing the praises of Jaime. She'll hold your hand when you need it, but also be tough and honest when you need that, too. She had the market knowledge to know what the right strategy was to get us our house. We absolutely loved working with her. So stop reading this review and give her a call already!”
★★★★★
"My husband and I worked with Jaime for the purchase of our first home and we’re so happy we did! Jaime is extremely knowledgeable about the market and helped guide us through the entire process. She was very thorough in explaining each step towards closing and was always there whenever we had questions. Highly recommend working with her!"
★★★★★
“Jaime was a spectacular realtor to work with and this is NO exaggeration. Her specialty seemed to be what is truly a very stressful process STREE-FREE. She anticipated so many details, helped me tremendously in readying my house for sale (so important for a full time working person!) I can't recommend Jaime highly enough -- we were thrilled with the process and the amazing price we got for our house. I'm certain if we hadn't taken (nearly) ALL her advice we would not have done as well as we did!”
★★★★★
"Jaime was an invaluable guide for us through the daunting process of purchasing our first home in the challenging Essex County market. Her patience, humor, and willingness to spend hours walking us through the nuances of our offers put us at ease through a competitive bidding process. We had an accepted offer within weeks (thanks to Jaime's persistence) and we couldn't be happier with our new home! It was truly a pleasure working with her! Highly recommend!"
★★★★★
"Jaime has been a total pleasure to work with. She has now represented us in two separate deals, first on the sell side and now, a year and half later, on the buy side. In both cases, her service, attention to detail, communication, and skill at liaising with all the many people involved to successfully close a real estate transaction, have been second to none. We've bought and sold many personal residences over the last 40+ years, and we've had good experiences with many realtors, but I'd have to say that Jaime has been the best of them. I recommend her wholeheartedly."
★★★★★
“If we were able to leave more than 5 stars, we would. Jaime is an exceptional agent and we could not recommend her enough. From our very first conversation, we felt Jaime was really listening and trying to get to know us and our wants/needs. She is not only extremely knowledgeable about the area and navigating this tricky market, but she is also so patient and thorough in her advice, explanations (of which we needed a lot!), and recommendations. She is incredibly responsible and accessible and a fierce advocate for her clients. It was Jaime who ultimately found our home, scoping it out in advance and giving us a heads up on what she anticipated we would love and want to change-- and she was spot on. I truly don't know how we could have navigated this process without Jaime, and I certainly wouldn't have wanted to because she somehow kept it fun and upbeat and was an actual joy to be around and communicate with. The only downside to finally finding our house is the less urgent need to reach out to Jaime! We've sung her praises to everyone we know looking for a house (or not) in New Jersey and will continue to do so without any hesitation.”
★★★★★
“TLDR: Absolutely amazing. 100% you should work with Jaime. From our initial call we were reassured and could tell that she knew what she was doing. We had a great chat and explained our relocation from out of state back east. She answered all our questions, asked some of her own and got us set up on the Compass website. Going back and forth through email and text she was always prompt with helpful responses. When it came time to make an offer on a house we found we had two hours to get it done and Jamie made it happen. She went well above and beyond to get it all done and sent within such a short timeframe. From offer acceptance through closing she gave great updates and helped to keep us on track completing everything needed on time. Lastly she gave amazing recommendations on other professionals to work with (attorneys, mortgage, contractors, flooring, etc...) who also became part of our team. You absolutely should reach out and at least give her a shot because you will not be disappointed.”
★★★★★
“Where do we start? When we first moved to New Jersey, we were lost and had no idea how to navigate purchasing a home. It was overwhelming to the point that it slowed us down. After years of looking, we just couldn't find the right house at the right price. Then our friends introduced us to Jaime. Within two months, we had found our perfect family home. Jaime is a wonderful listener. She helps you isolate what it is that you really want in your day-to-day experience in your home and community. She also brings equal amounts of practicality and big ideas to the forefront, to help you realistically imagine what your life might be like in a home. This practicality really comes in handy also when you walk through basements together and need to know what things are (like an old oil tank connection) and will help you understand what to avoid. She is focused on finding you a home that makes you feel inspired, and will be up-front with you if something is not right, or realistically not something you should consider beyond your budget. As first time home buyers, Jaime was able to demystify the home buying process for us and connect us with amazing teams (lenders, inspectors) that helped make us feel incredibly comfortable and confident during the whole purchase process. Her expertise helped us formulate a competitive offer that we were financially comfortable with, and ultimately won us our new, wonderful first family home. TL;DR: Jaime is the absolute best. She is smart, trustworthy, and quite frankly lovely to be around. She will help you find your home.”

"Jaime was an absolutely amazing to work with. We wouldn't have been able to find our dream house without her help. This was our first home purchase and we had tons of questions daily. She was so quick to reply to any questions with easy to understand language. From day one to closing she was helpful and genuine. I can't thank her enough for her consistent hard work. When you're working with a passionate person, you feel you are being taken care of and supported. That's how I felt from beginning to end working with Jaime. I would 100% recommend her to anybody who is looking for their dream house. Thank you Jaime !"
★★★★★
"Jaime was amazing! As first time homebuyers we needed a lot of guidance throughout the process and Jaime was there every step of the way. She was very responsive and incredibly helpful, especially when our home turned up with a complicated structural issue. She was reassuring and so easy to work with. She worked tirelessly to help us through the process. She also provided us with great vendors for the inspection process and painting. Thank you so much Jaime for everything!"
★★★★★
"We had a wonderful home buying experience with our realtor Jaime Richter. It’s rare to find a realtor who is so responsive to a buyer’s needs. Jaime is entirely professional, and she surpasses all others in her attention to detail."
★★★★★
"Home buying is a stressful process, made worse by a Covid feeding frenzy market. Yet working with Jaime we didn’t feel any stress, nor pressure to exceed our set budget. We trusted her advice on many levels, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, or work with her again if we ever enter the market again. Anyone who buys or sells a home with her will be in very capable hands."
★★★★★
"Jaime was so pleasant to work with. She truly took what we needed for our home into account. She remained patient, kind and fun to work with. I highly suggest working with her!"
★★★★★
""Worked with Jaime to buy a house in NJ, moving from Brooklyn. As first time home buyers, she gave us the knowledge we needed, and brought top notch expertise about the SOMA area and the house hunting process. Worked with us to craft the perfect offer landing us the perfect house!"
★★★★★
"If you’re looking to buy a house, especially your first house, contact this squad! Jaime went above and beyond anything we could expect from the home buying experience. She was not only quick to respond but asked us the right questions when we had doubts. It’s overwhelming to buy your first home and Jaime was there for all the random questions we could think of. Jaime felt like a close friend by the time we finished the buying process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
★★★★★
"Jaime is so incredibly helpful. A little about our move story, and how Jaime is amazing and legit made magic happen: My BF and I, thinking it was time to move, were driving around one SATURDAY and stumbled upon Maplewood Village. After getting a cupcake at the Able Baker and buying a book at Words, we knew we HAD to live there, and HAD to move in ASAP. Upon finding the spot we liked, we called on that very Saturday. She was incredibly responsive, getting us into see the apartments available within a few days (being super flexible by working with our incredibly unrealistically hectic schedules), getting the lease prepared, and ultimately being available all month and move in day. She was even incredibly helpful with our apartment AFTER we moved in. I'm not so sure what our next step will be in terms of living arrangements. However, if our next move is anywhere within NJ/the tristate area, you better believe Jaime will be the first one to know."
★★★★★
"Jaime was GREAT!
As first-time home buyers we had a lot of questions and she was there to answer all of them. She took the time to understand the type of home we were looking for and offered suggestions as new houses came on the market. Jaime was always accessible and her frequent check-ins made us feel supported along the way. She was present during home inspections and her input helped put a lot of things into perspective. Jaime was instrumental in communicating with all parties during each step of the process, all the way through closing.
Anyone looking to buy a home would be lucky to work with Jaime."
★★★★★
"Working with Jamie was an absolute dream. She helped us make the transition from Brooklyn to NJ, and was right there with us every step of the way. From the initial call explaining the ins and outs of the process, to helping us find the perfect open houses in our price range, to crafting a winning offer, she made the first-time home buying experience great for us."
★★★★★
"It was an absolute pleasure having Jaime as my realtor while selling a home that was in my family for three generations. It was an emotional transaction for me but Jaime’s kindness and gentle nature along with her take action approach made things easier for me. She guided me through every step of the way and went above and beyond to even let contractors in when it was inconvenient for me to do so. Jaime was always accessible even when I needed to speak with her in the evenings or on weekends. I highly recommend Jaime and will certainly refer her to my friends and family."
★★★★★
"Jaime is amazing! Never a moment when she can not be reached, always quick to return with info and provide guidance on all things home buying. We were first time pandemic home buyers and to say the market was a challenge is an understatement. Jaime helped us at the beginning by getting us up to speed on process, guided us each weekend as we went to open houses and showings and seamlessly took us to closing! Couldn't recommend her more."

"First time home buyers, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
Jaime was everything we wanted in a buyer's agent and more. For starters, when we began looking at houses we only knew of Maplewood and thought we wanted to live there but Jaime was knowledgeable and informed us of the surrounding towns. Then she went through the home buying process with us. Took over an hour but she was patient, kind, and understanding that we were clueless coming into it.
On our first weekend seeing open houses she responded to all our text questions right away and then we had a debrief on Sunday evening and discussed potential offers. The fact that she was willing to hop on a call on a Sunday night was just one example of how personal the experience was.
When we made an offer she offered a lot of expertise in what we should offer and how to best negotiate. I believe we got our house at a great price and that was in no small part thanks to Jaime. Overall, my wife and could not be more happy with the experience. We would recommend Jaime to anybody who asks."
★★★★★
"Jaime was on top of it from day 1 and helped us navigate with ease the process of our first time buying a home! We always felt all our questions no matter how small were welcomed with the most thorough information and honesty."
★★★★★
"As first time home buyers, we could not recommend Jaime enough! Going into the process - especially as first-timers during a pandemic - we were pretty nervous. Jaime was incredibly responsive, took the time to fully explain every step of the home buying process, and had our backs 100% during a difficult offer/negotiation process. And as newcomers to Maplewood, she’s given us a lot of great local recommendations for everything from restaurants to painters to home inspectors. Working with Jaime, we felt like we had someone in our corner at every step."
★★★★★
"Jaime Richter is absolutely terrific! When our family decided to make the move from Brooklyn to Maplewood, she guided us through every step of the process. She gave us detailed, helpful, and heartfelt advice. She was super hard working and responsive to us and answered all our questions thoroughly and rapidly. With her guidance and expertise, we were able to buy the house of our dreams. She showed us the property, advised us on how to make a winning offer, and then guided us through every step up to the closing and beyond. Thanks to her, we made one and only one offer. Even after the sale, she has kept checking in on us to make sure we’re settling in well. The day we were scheduled to move in, for example, there was a big storm and she reached out to us to ask if we were ok and, when we said we had to postpone the move until after the storm, she offered to check on our house for us. She is a kind and special person and we now think of her as a friend we can’t wait to host on our new porch for cocktails. We couldn’t be more grateful to Jaime!"
★★★★★
"Jaime has been one of if not the most thorough and professional agents I have ever worked with. Not only did she help my roommate and I find an apartment during the pandemic, but she took additional precautions to make sure we were safe at all times while visiting properties. She moved quickly and timely to help us leave Hudson County. Her calm and welcoming demeanor made a stressful situation seamless. Most agents would not follow up with their clients once the transition was complete, however, Jaime not only stopped by on move in day but has checked in with us months after. It's very rare to find someone who invests equally in people if not more than the properties they are trying to show. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to live - especially transitioning from the city life."
