Stanton & Stanton

We got to know Katie Scandalios through a coincidence when we were looking for renting a house. Our initial realtor was not very active so we had to step in and help with search/appointments/etc. We were interested in renting a house listed under Stanton Company Realtor. We called their office to schedule an appointment, they were very welcoming and we felt very comfortable working with them. We decided right away to work with them, that when I met Katie. We thank God for sending Katie our way, she was a pure bless.nnWe worked with Katie for over a year until we found the house we liked. She initially helped us finding a rental place for a year while we were looking to buy a house. Katie is very energetic, knowledgeable, and responsive. She is always on top of things and she always cared about finding something good we like. To further explain, we had situations in which Katie very politely advised us: 1) to put less money, 2) to carefully think about whether the house is appropriate location, 3) not to put an offer due to issues with the house, and 4) not to put an offer as the house is not good for us. This is something realtors do not usually do! We strongly feel that Katie is caring about us getting something we like.nnWe changed the towns we were looking in three times and she has been always extremely helpful until we got the house we really wanted. The phrase that she always used to say: "I am sure we will get something you love". Finally, we were able to get what we wanted.nnKatie has great connections. She helped us getting professional opinions/feedback in numerous occasions from handy man, inspector, broker, school principal, and lender. In one occasion, we were able to get a consultation, letter draft and review from an attorney she knows. All of that was for free. Such consultation was at least 200$ somewhere else. In another occasion, she was able to reach to a school principal through a friend to get more insight about the programs in the district. Once we were close to the closing date, Katie worked really hard and helped us as well as the attorney to make sure we get things done on time. She has taken tasks at some point that my attorney/ myself should have taken. That was very much appreciated.nnMy kids love Katie! I can't forget when my son woke up the first day in the new house asking whether Katie is sleeping at our house. They get used to see her and play with her to the point that they wanted her to live with us.nnI have recommended Katie to couple of friends. When I hear my friend's stories with their realtors, I thank God that we worked with her. :)

If you want to know (nearly ANYthing) about Montclair, go to June and Stanton Company Realtors. After three real estate transactions with June in the last handful of years, there's no one else I'd prefer to work with. June is whip-smart, a resourceful and tireless advocate for you, and an honest, thoughtful sounding board when you need one. She knows the area, she understands the housing, and she has top-caliber references for all things real estate. Call June --> really. You will be so glad you did.

Rich and his team managed the sale of our property with professionalism and were a pleasure to deal with during the process. Having already moved overseas there were numerous details to take care of and having him on the ground greatly help ensure that the sale went through. He went beyond what an estate agent would normally handle, e.g. mowing the grass and accommadating buyers repair requests, and kept us informed at all stages. He knows the Montclair/Glen Ridge area well and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

For the sale of my house in Montclair I am so glad that I worked with June Raegner. I am grateful that June was clearly working for us and helping us to make decisions that were in our best interest, rather than what was most convenient for herself or others. June clearly has a great knowledge of the area and the market. Our house lacked recent comps, but her suggested listing price was higher than we thought possible and she was confident that the price was accurate. When the appraised value came in significantly lower than the listing price, June asserted that her price was correct and helped us to quickly find a cash buyer. She held out for the price that she felt was fair, even though her company had to forego half of the commission. Through all of this, June showed amazing negotiating skills and was always available and communicative. She is an extremely ethical realtor and kind person.

Stanton Company worked tirelessly to effectively market my property. Their marketing plan started with making the home look as welcoming as possible through staging with attention to every detail. They evaluated and leveraged new technology to increase exposure on the web, driving up the number of visits to the property. If you are selling your home I highly recommend contacting Stanton Company they will close the sale!!
