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

Allison Ziefert

After a decade 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.

“Working with Jaime and her team was a great experience. We bought a house during the pandemic from the other side of the country with a limited ability to view houses in person, so we had a lot working against … us. But we ended up with a house in a neighborhood we love and we’re very happy. Jaime worked with us to figure out the best strategies for our long distance home search and checked in frequently during the process. She had insider knowledge about the benefits of our amazing neighborhood, which has turned out to be a huge plus about our home. Highly recommend!” Show More

“Buying a house (esp. in NJ) is a very time-consuming and involved process. Things need to happen on a certain timeline, you need a team of experts to call to action within a moment's notice, you need an attorney before you … make an offer and so on. Jaime and the carefully assembled team at Allison Ziefert made the process extremely easy for us. Jaime was amazing to work with and made everything a breeze. We had some challenges along the way but Jaime made sure to be there for us and to provide guidance when we needed it. Every email/text/call from all the different parties was answered by Jaime promptly and with a clear solution in place. Even the inspection day was super fun with her. I will 100% recommend Jaime and the Allison Ziefert group to any one and every one.” Show More

“Jaime was amazing! As first time homebuyers we needed a lot of guidance throughout the process and Jaime was there every step of the way. She was very responsive and incredibly helpful, especially when our home turned up with a … complicated structural issue. She was reassuring and so easy to work with. She worked tirelessly to help us through the process. She also provided us with great vendors for the inspection process and painting. I can't recommend her and her team enough. Thank you so much Jaime for everything!” Show More

“We are so glad to have worked with Jaime and the rest of the Allison Ziefert team to find a home in the SOMA area. Jaime was responsive to the max, knowledgeable about the area, and was an overall supportive … figure throughout the homebuying process. No question was too big or too small for her; she provided us the information we needed to feel confident every step of the way, and we eventually bought a house that perfectly aligned with our needs and budget. I definitely recommend her and the AZ Real Estate Group.” Show More

“Let me start by saying there is no better agent than Ginge. Having completed my third transaction with her (buying and selling) I say with confidence there is nothing she can’t solve in a real estate deal. In buying she’s … got a great eye, she’s knowledgeable, she has great connections and she’s a skilled negotiator. In selling she knows exactly what to do to sell your home fast and track the deal to close on time. She is always thorough, she keeps everything moving and what made the whole process easier is that she is fun to work with and knows what to do to keep her clients feeling relaxed and confident. I love Ginge and you will too. - Kate M.” Show More

“We had a wonderful home buying experience with our realtor Jaime Richter. It’s rare to find a realtor who is so responsive to a buyer’s needs. Jaime is entirely professional, and she surpasses all others in her attention to detail. … Home buying is a stressful process, made worse by a Covid feeding frenzy market. Yet working with Jaime we didn’t feel any stress, nor pressure to exceed our set budget. We trusted her advice on many levels, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, or work with her again if we ever enter the market again. Anyone who buys or sells a home with her will be in very capable hands.” Show More
