"Where should I begin....
Max reached out to me shortly after being connected through Zillow and since then he always did his best to keep me abreast of the entire process I was embarking on. Any time I had a question, if Max didn't already have the answer (which he did most times) he would get back to me in a very timely fashion with the answer. Max not only was responsive but protected me as his client. What I mean by this is, he did not hesitate to point out any flaws in properties that I was viewing to protect me from making a buy that I may regret.
He was friendly, professional, courteous, and very respectful of my difficult work schedule and always found a way to work around it. For all of this, I am very grateful to have worked with Max and have already advised several close friends of mine regarding his services for when they begin their search for their homes

"We began working with Max a little over a year ago. Selling a home and buying a home simultaneously comes with its own challenges. Max was available for our calls or texts no matter what time of the day. Max's knowledge of Bergen County landed us in the beautiful Boro of Upper Saddle River. We had a few hiccups, but Max's guidance helped us get through, and we closed on our beautiful home in August. It was a fluke how we connected with Max, but we truly believe it was divine intervention. I will recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thank you, Max!" - Natalie

"We ended up connecting with Max through Zillow. This is the first home we've bought. Max was responsive, knowledgeable of the home-buying process and local area, and he was very patient with us throughout. There were multiple offers on the house we bought, and Max advised us on our offers. Max helped us get comfortable with all the possible options and outcomes and ultimately we got our offer accepted. He was around throughout the closing process and offered many great referrals. I would definitely recommend Max to anyone looking in the Bergen County area" - Luke

"Max helped us buy our first home. Coming from NYC area, as first time home buyers we weren't even sure about the specific neighborhoods, and were a little all over the map (short hills/chatham/ridge in NJ and even NY state Scarsdale area). He pointed us to the different people for areas outside his own expertise and worked with us patiently by answering all our questions and giving us the facts.
Our home buying process turned out to be rather complicated. Multiple offers on the house we bid, parallel negotiations on another over an extended period of time, and finally COVID complicated our mortgage process. Max with all experience and expertise made himself extremely useful in this complicated process and helped us close our deal to our satisfaction. Highly recommended!

"Max helped us first find and buy our new house and then he listed and sold our old house in record time. Max knows our town and county very well and he has a deep understanding of the real estate market in the area. Extremely professional yet approachable and friendly; very honest and dedicated helping us with everything we needed throughout the whole process" - Daniel
