What is a Consumer Information Statement and do I need one?+
New Jersey law (N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.4) requires all licensed real estate agents to provide a Consumer Information Statement to every consumer before substantive discussion of real estate services. The CIS explains the types of agency relationships in New Jersey, including seller agency, buyer agency, and disclosed dual agency, so you know exactly who your agent represents before sharing any private information. We provide this at the start of every relationship.
Are real estate commissions negotiable in New Jersey?+
Yes, fully. Real estate commissions in New Jersey are not set by law, the NJ Real Estate Commission, or any Realtor organization. All compensation is negotiated directly between the client and the broker. We encourage an open discussion about fees at the beginning of our relationship. Under federal antitrust law, no standard commission rate exists. See our
Commission Disclosure for full details.
What makes Burlington County a desirable place to live?+
Burlington County offers an exceptional quality of life combining suburban convenience, strong school districts, preserved farmland and open space, and easy access to both Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore. Communities like Marlton, Mount Laurel, Medford, and Moorestown are perennial favorites. The county's proximity to major employment centers along the I-295/Route 38 corridor and NJ Turnpike make it ideal for commuters.

Our Burlington County experience spans residential resales, new construction, multi-family investment, and commercial properties.

What is the attorney review process in New Jersey?+
After both parties sign a purchase contract their agent prepared, a three business day attorney review period begins, counted from the day each side receives the signed contract. During this period, either party's attorney may approve, disapprove, or propose modifications to the contract without penalty. Attorney review is a legal consumer protection established by the NJ Supreme Court. It should not be waived or rushed. We strongly recommend all buyers and sellers retain a qualified NJ real estate attorney.
