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 can’t say enough amazing things about Kelly. We have recently moved from Sydney Australia to NJ, and needed a place to rent quickly. Being new to not only the area but the country, Kelly gave us the lay of … the land. We got profiles on different suburbs, intel on schools and zones. Never once did Kelly force us into a rental that we weren't 100% about. Kelly was honest with each place we looked at. When we finally found the place we loved, Kelly was there every step of the way to help us secure the rental, despite multiple applications at the time. Thank you Kelly!!!” Show More

“Kelly is wonderful and amazing to work with. She goes the extra mile to make her client feel comfortable in looking a home. She listens to your needs and wants. In my situation I had to find a close apartment … with a very tight timeline and she pulled it off somehow. She worked daytime nights and weekends to get it done. She worked with a bunch of the other parties for me, and she got me names of other companies that I’d need to call, and all the spots I’d want to know about the neighborhood. She’s exactly the sort of person you’d hope to have as an agent, and as a neighbor. I loved working with her and I sincerely hope I can continue to have her as my agent for future real estate needs. She is just a wonderful, caring and kind real estate agent and I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an apartment or selling a house.” Show More

“We were referred to Kelly from a family friend who is also in real estate. Kelly really worked hard for us to find a rental property. She was very honest in her approach to us finding what we needed. She … helped us navigate communication between our future landlord and the existing tenant on the ground floor so that we could guarantee that we would be a good fit. She was patient with us. She was diligent in helping us find a property that would take our cat. She helped us find a wonderful place in a beautiful neighborhood that we can raise our daughter in. Thank you so much, Kelly.” Show More

“Kelly was a rockstar for us relocating to Maplewood, NJ. Given all the headaches that come with moving across state, the dealings of finding a property and getting the deal over the line in the tight time frame we had … was the least stressful part, due to Kell’s confidence and reassurance of all things house related. As well as finding us a place that fit our long list of criteria, she continued to fight the good fight and ensure all the I and Ts were crossed and dotted so that the smallest details were up to the stranded we expected.” Show More

- Stephen B.

“We were referred to Kelly through a mutual friend who said she "was the one to go through if you're interested in New Jersey." He could not have been more right. From the get go Kelly was open, honest, hardworking … and realistic about what we were looking for and what she thought we could find. In the end we listened to her advice and she was 100% right about everything. We could not be happier where we are now, and we couldn't have done it without Kelly. ” Show More

- Jason G.

“Working with Kelly was an unexpected delight. In my past experience, looking to buy or rent a home is a grueling and humbling process. Not this time. Not only were we looking to rent for the first time in over … a decade, we were moving to a different state, and to a neighborhood with a challenging rental market. Throw in that we weren't totally sure what we were looking for, and that we changed our plan halfway through our search. Kelly zigged and zagged as needed, and consistently lent her support, guidance, and experience all the way through. Not to mention, her follow-up skills are beyond reproach. In the end she helped us find an amazing unicorn of a place that ended up being the perfect solution for our needs. 100% would recommend!” Show More

- Cindy W.

“I was really lucky to have Kelly help find me a home. I love the place that I ultimately decided on! She helped me to find an apartment quickly, and talk about knowledge of the area. She was very friendly … and personable in all of our interactions and responded in a very timely manner to all my questions. Most importantly, Kelly did a great job helping me navigate the process. She presented all the options and helped advise me on the best strategy to get the place I wanted. She is a great agent and you are lucky to have her! Kelly’s dedication to helping me find a home and her desire to ensure I found a good place to live is a level of care that I have only seen in close friends and family.” Show More

- Jason H.

“Kelly is fantastic. She facilitated our entire move from the city to NJ and saved us countless hours of time with her expertise and experience about the area. She was honest and realistic about our search and she turned out … to be a lifesaver in our search for a new home. I can't recommend her enough. ” Show More
