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.

“Worked with AZ to house hunt, offer, and close on a beautiful SOMA home. We were immediately matched with their agent Jamie who was able to bring her experiences moving from the Big City to a dream house in the … 'burbs. Super communicative and collaborative from start to finish, AZ Real Estate Group provides amazing service.” Show More

“The great thing about working with Allison is that you're getting a small, committed team that never overextends itself. You're not just another listing. You're not going to get fall through the cracks because they're juggling 100 clients at a … time. In other words, when your home is being listed, you're a total priority. That fact shone through in the promptness of communication we received whenever a question or concern was raised as well as thoughtful check-ins. And that prioritization paid off. Just start with a conversation and you'll see right away why we felt comfortable putting our faith in Allison.” Show More

“Our experience working with Ginge was fantastic from start to finish. She took the time to understand what kind of home we were looking for and led us to a home that was absolutely the perfect fit for us. She … led us through the entire experience in such a clear and helpful way and was extremely communicative as she calmed all our concerns as we moved through the closing process for our new home. From coaching us on our offer, to advising on our inspections, to following up on questions we had, she was there every step of the way giving invaluable advice. We can’t recommend her enough!” Show More

“Don't hesitate to choose Allison Ziefert and her Compass NJ team when it comes to selling your home. She speaks with confidence on the market because she knows the market. All it comes down to is letting go and trusting … the process. She connected us to the right people (stager, contractor, landscaper, etc.) who helped us make the right changes to get the best offer for our Maplewood home. We were on the market and accepted a best and final offer within 6 days! Stress is a given with this type of experience, but she was so great about communicating all the small steps along the way. This was particularly important during the closing process, which has lots of little pitfalls that could have slowed down or prevented a smooth closing.” Show More

“Jaime is professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking. My husband and I worked with her to find the perfect home for us in Maplewood. Jaime is always just a call/text away and she is ON IT, ensuring that everything is on time, … paperwork is in order, and all is done correctly. She and the office staff are extremely helpful with referrals and answering questions--they never once got impatient with our queries. She is part of the best team in the area (or country? or world? haha). Highly recommended!” Show More

“Allison and her team were invaluable to helping us get absolute top dollar for our home. They had a plan, a network, a cheat sheet, and a team "on the ground" that helped us with everything from getting our home … ready, to working through various inspections, approvals and township sign offs. With two little kids under 3, selling our home was a stressful proposition, but Allison understood and worked with us in the most efficient way possible. Our home sold in a single weekend for 20%+ over asking with multiple offers! Thank you, Allison!” Show More
