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.

“If you're moving to Jersey — you must work with Jaime! She is our real estate rock. We connected via Instagram a few years before my husband and I were ready to move from Brooklyn and she was so incredibly … helpful from day one. She never pushed us before we were ready and checked in every once in awhile to make sure we had the information about the market we needed. We found our dream home while checking out open houses on a whim and I called Jaime immediately asking what to do. She connected us with a mortgage broker right away so we could get pre-approved (we moved up our timeline by a year!) and expertly advised us on what to offer. We were truly so shocked and elated that we got the first house we *ever* put an offer in on! Jaime made our first time home buying experience a breeze and is so incredibly attentive and detail oriented. She even stopped by the house for us to put some packages that arrived before we moved in into the garage. I will be recommending everyone I know to Jaime! Not only did we have an incredible experience with her as our agent, but we know we now have our first friend in West Orange.” Show More

“Kelly is hands down the best broker we have ever worked with. It was truly a pleasure working with her from the first phone call to signing the lease on our beautiful new apartment. We were blown away by how … attentive she was to our family’s needs, how she really helped us hone in on the right rentals to save us time and hassle, and how generous she was with her time and expertise to make sure we understood the process every step of the way. This was a big move for us, relocating from NYC, and we were also amazed how Kelly and the team went the extra mile to provide us with resources for local utilities, childcare, moving companies, etc. We can’t recommend them highly enough!” Show More

“Usually it’s suspicious to see someone with so many five star reviews, but with Ginge, it’s actually real. My husband and I were first time home buyers and extremely uneducated and naive about the whole process. Ginge is the most … kind, patient, efficient, available and genuine human we’ve ever encountered. It was truly a gift to have her as our agent, guiding us each step of the way. Nothing ever felt like too big of an ask, too stupid of a question, too ridiculous of a concern. She made us feel at ease and in control of home buying, which is no easy feat in this market. She knows everyone and everything, which was extremely helpful as we knew no one and nothing. She’s got an incredible sense of humor; very sarcastic and direct. She’s not sales-y at all and you feel at complete ease with her immediately. She will tell you what is realistic, set you straight when you need it and moonlights as a therapist in the darkest moments. I honestly can’t imagine how we would have gotten through this process with anyone besides her. We look forward to working with her in the future on every home-related transaction and will deeply miss her in our lives now she’s guided us across the finish line as homeowners.” Show More

“Allison, Ginge and the entire team at AZ Real Estate Group are by far the most professional, supportive, knowledgeable and personable team in the area. Selling a home can be a daunting process, but Ginge was there every step of … the way, facilitating the process by offering her sound input, endless supply of resources and a dash of fun. I can’t recommend the team highly enough.” Show More

“How does someone so perfectly skilled, knowledgeable, amazing, a shark, witty, and a true BOSS just fall into your lap? We started our home buying journey with a Google search and a phone call to A to Z Real Estate … Group, where Jaime Richter was routed to us, and the rest was history. She's a walking computer of all things real estate. Her negotiations are top-notch, and in this competitive market, our offer was accepted within 24 hours. Jaime is extremely proactive and nurturing; instantly, we knew she had our best interest at heart. Anyone familiar with the real estate process knows it's a roller coaster ride. Tons of anxious moments until you get to closing. Jaime navigated with a sense of precision, calm, and urgency. With liquid gold for her network of trusted professionals (lawyers, contractors, inspectors), all elements of our process ran smoothly. We had a tight deadline to move before the school year started, and Jaime navigated every hurdle until we got the keys in our hands. Jaime is officially saved in our phones as "The Finisher". It's one thing to start, but if finishing is your goal , work with Jaime.” Show More

“I would highly recommend Jaime to anyone- she was incredibly organized and professional, had amazing contacts to contractors/specialists/etc., and was super-quick with her responses. She is a dream, and the entire group at Compass is so clearly respected in the … area. We really feel like we got the A team with her... and found & closed on our house within 2 months!” Show More
