"John was wonderful throughout the entire home buying experience. I was pretty set on what I wanted in a home and John was not only very patient with me, but very helpful in guiding me into what has turned out to be a perfect home, in the perfect neighborhood, for my family. The process here in Montclair can be an emotional and confusing one at times, but John’s overall professionalism and very welcomed levity when appropriate, allowed me to calmly and confidently make informed choices and never feel overwhelmed. He’s a great partner to have when you’re ready to buy or sell." - Gregg A.
"My wife and I highly recommend John Frenzer. John was our agent who sold our original house and guided us through the purchase of our current home. You will notice right away he is quick-witted and friendly which greatly reduces the stress of the entire process. John picked a perfect asking price that elicited multiple offers over-asking. When it came to buying a house, he took great care to show us homes in our price range, and in the neighborhoods that suited us. He is well connected and respected in the industry and has earned our gratitude." - Charlie J.
"First and foremost, John is a great guy with a personality that makes going through the real estate process as easy as possible, even in a tough market. He's even keeled, has a good sense of humor and goes out of his way to be accommodating. Beyond that, John knows the local market very well due to his long experience and the fact that he lives and works in the community. He has been a great source for information about all sorts of local activities, stores, places to eat and various services. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation." - Steve R.
"I cannot thank you enough for the way you handled the sale of our Park Avenue home. How lucky I was to find you. Your fantastic grasp of the nuances of the market and ability to read it paid off in a big way. How clever you were in your timing and presentation. To have sold my property at a price well over my expectations and to do it so quickly was a gift for which I can never repay you. You believed in my property as much as I and that was such a comfort. I shall recommend you without reservation to anyone needing an agent." - Patty
"John was fantastic. Equal parts savvy real estate professional, therapist and friend. Through his guidance, we were able to sell our co-op within 2 weeks of the first showing. He is knowledgeable and positive and was always there to answer our questions and alleviate our concerns. We could not have gone through the process without him." - Eric
"John is a very rare NYC broker. He's smart and aggressive, but he's also gracious and charming. He would be the first NYC broker I would recommend to a friend. I would be confident that he could handle any challenge with dedication and aplomb." - Thomas
"I think the greatest compliment I can give to your company is to tell you that John is truly an asset and that I would highly recommend him to any of my friends because I know that he would be patient and kind and stick with them throughout the entire sale. It was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish." - Alice
"I had done extensive research on apartments on the Upper West Side since I was a first-time buyer. I met probably 20-25 different agents during this time. I stumbled upon John Frenzer while going to an open house he was showing. I knew immediately that I finally found someone who could help me find the right place. John found me an apartment; we made an offer immediately, and it was accepted. But he didn't stop with the sale. John helped me navigate a complex coop board application and prep'd me on the interview. I will utilize John's experience and knowledge on any and all real estate transactions in the future. He actually made the whole process enjoyable. Job well done, Frenzer!" - Brian
After a 15-year acting career in the theatre where he played nearly every town in North America that had a stage, he decided it was time to unpack the suitcases and return to the family business. New York City, where he was living just blocks from where his grandfather had been born – at home – was the natural choice, later expanding to Montclair, New Jersey.
John and his husband have raised two children, now teenagers in Montclair. John is a Crossfit wannabe (his motto: “I’m not just weak – I’m also slow”). He was a board member of a prominent Regio Emilio preschool and continues to be a NYC coop shareholder with board experience. He has the unique ability to navigate both markets – NYC and NJ - with expertise. He is extremely fortunate to have repeat and referral clients from his elite roster of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award winners as well as the leaders in the advertising and financial service industries. He is truly flattered to have their trust. And remembers to rely on his father’s advice: wake up every day and try to do the right thing.
Everything else falls into place.
