Allison Ziefert Realtor Maplewood, NJ Local Real Estate Expert For Sellers & Buyers

Allison Ziefert

After a dozen years in real estate I love my job more than ever. I am blessed to have a career that combines several of my passions– architecture and design, building community and helping people.

I am a founding agent of Compass NJ where I lead a top-producing team.

Before I became a realtor, I worked as a project manager for a large construction management firm, ran a downtown development organization and worked in local politics. I studied Art History at Barnard College and received a degree in Urban Planning and Historic Preservation from Columbia University. My educational background and work experience have given me a unique skill set that is an added value for my clients. I enjoy meeting and working with all kinds of people and I never get tired of looking at houses!

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and have lived in Maplewood/South Orange since 1995. I have three children- two who are out on their own and one in high school. You’ll often see me out on long walks in my neighborhood with my dachshund, Archie. I also love fitness classes, cooking and antiquing.

“I would highly recommend working with Ginge at Allison Ziefert Real Estate Group. As first time homebuyers, my partner and I had a lot of questions, and Ginge was so patient in explaining and helping us through the process. She … was very responsive every step of the way; we had some issues come up during our initial inspection, and she immediately coordinated additional inspectors to come out the next day. We felt very confident with her in our corner! And in the event that she was out of town or otherwise unavailable, she always connected us with another member of the AZ team. Just amazing service all around. ” Show More

“We had the opportunity to meet “Ginge” through another amazing Compass realtor based in a different area. “Ginge” was professional, welcoming and understanding of our needs. She found our perfect renting property and also connected us with the neighbour who … had bought a property through compass before. This was a great bonus as not only she introduced me to a new friend but made our move from abroad so much easier. Highly recommend.” Show More

“Working with Jaime was a dream! She not only found us our dream home but helped us through every step! As first time home buyers, having Jaime as our agent was invaluable - she helped us set expectations and her … attention to detail was incredible - she loves what she does! We felt like we could trust her and I think that is hard to find. We’re so grateful to Jaime for all she has done for our family!” Show More

“Wow are we lucky to have worked with this truly exceptional team. As first time home buyers, Jaime helped us set realistic expectations and ultimately helped us land our dream home in our dream town. Even when odds felt stacked … I felt like all was going to work out - and it did. We trusted Jaime and we’ll forever be grateful for all the Allison Ziefert Real Estate Group has done for our family!!” Show More

“Jaime is probably the best agent in New Jersey. Don't just take my word! 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. With Jaime in your corner, you almost can't lose. So stop reading this review and give her a call already!” Show More

“My husband & I purchased our first home with Jaime’s help recently & our experience was great! Her explanations of home buying steps made us feel confident in our decision making without being talked down to at all. She is … hand holding in the best ways, but also incredibly honest in telling us what is a realistic expectation in the current real estate market & within our budget. We had no idea what to expect from this process & Jaime really helped with reassuring guidance. A major plus is that every vendor she recommended throughout the process ended up being a breeze to work with! I am SO happy we chose to work with Jaime- she’s truly a pro at what she does!” Show More

“We were extremely pleased working with "A to Z", specifically Jaime Richter, who is an absolute pleasure and definitely someone you want in your corner. What we liked most about working with them is they have a whole team of great … people that will get you into your new home (or out of your old one, if you're selling). Every vendor we talked to along the way would not stop singing the praises of the Ziefert team. We had friends who were looking for houses with other agencies at the same time we were, without much luck. Once we told them about the seamless process we went through with A to Z, they switched over immediately. And if you're a seller, hands down the best open houses we attended in the area were run by the Zeifert team. They will treat your listing right. If we ever move, we're definitely going with them to list. So stop reading this review and call them right away!” Show More
