“We feel so lucky that a friend recommended Allison to us! She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable....more of a matchmaker for real estate than real estate broker. She listened carefully to what we really wanted and helped us find an amazing home. It wasn’t staged and had been sitting on the market for a while so we also got a … great deal! We were first time home buyers, with two children under 2 and a half, so we had a ton of questions and were pretty overwhelmed in general-she helped us navigate the process and was able to really give excellent advice and support during the negotiation portion. Her entire team is fantastic. If moving from the city to the suburbs with small children sounds completely overwhelming to you (it did for us)....you will be in great hands with Allison. She also helped connect us to painters and handy people and has been available for questions even after we moved in. Thank you Allison!!!” Read More ▾

Allison had great recommendations and insights throughout the entire process, and we were able to sell and close quickly over asking price.

She was responsive to all of our needs and always followed up to make sure each aspect of our transaction was executed properly. Allison … is very professional and handles pressure with grace. She presented all of the facts that we needed to make an informed decision about our purchase, and never pressured us into making a decision that we were not comfortable with. When we needed more information, she was always willing to make extra phone calls to get answers and help move our transaction along. She was extremely instrumental in getting us into our new home.

Having been renters for all of our adult lives (dependent on doormen and building staff for everything), my husband and I finally got the urge to move to the suburbs from Paulus Hook, Jersey City after having 2 kids in 2 years. When we met Allison … in her office, she patiently walked us through the basics of home-buying, discussed her process and answered our questions, while keeping my kids entertained with random office supplies she cobbled together for them to play with. Allison is a realtor with great taste and provides honest feedback, which is critical when considering important decisions in a competitive market. We started looking in Maplewood and South Orange but she steered us to our eventual location, lovely West Orange. She took my calls day and night, responded to every email and text, and had all the paperwork and references online, making it really convenient for us throughout.” Read More ▾

“I highly recommend Allison and her associates. Allison helped my family sell our home in Maplewood, NJ. The amount of interest she garnered in the house was stellar - more than 30 people at the first open house, resulting in many bids the next day. Needless to say we were pleased with the results. We highly enjoyed working with Allison … throughout the process. From the beginning she was enthusiastic, attentive and detail oriented. She brought confidence and experience to help us through the various bumps in the road that come with selling a house after 30+ years. Allison came in with ample research to determine a price point, and was also open to hearing our point of view on starting price. I could tell that the potential buyers and agents would also trust her advice. Allison has helpful connections in all related fields, from contractors to brokers to junk removal. She was in frequent contact with us, making sure that we were content with how everything was going at each step, and quickly reached out to us by phone or in person when discussion was needed. I’m not surprised she’s one of the busiest agents in the area and I expect that the AZ group will continue growing.” Read More ▾

“As we were navigating the process of buying our first home, Allison couldn't have been a better realtor for us. She really took time to understand what we wanted and needed in a home. She sent us the home we ended up buying the minute it was listed, got us in to see it before the open house, and was … extremely helpful in making our offer the most appealing, as we knew the price would draw multiple offers. Allison always went above and beyond. She wasn't afraid to give an honest opinion, connected us with great resources from mortgage lenders to attorneys to inspectors, and most of all, she was so incredibly patient with us as we dragged our 3 little kids to everything - without hesitation, she would jump right in to hold one of our infant twins or entertain our 2 year old. We are very happy to have had Allison's guidance and can't thank her enough!” Read More ▾

“We met Allison and Myrial about a year before we were ready to buy. They kept us updated on the market and answered any questions we had. They were very helpful, but also very patient with our timeline (there was no pressure to buy). Once we were serious about buying, they were incredibly responsive and accommodating to our schedule. Myrial … even worked while vacationing in Vermont on Christmas Eve to write up our first offer. I can't overstate how responsive they were, which made us feel comfortable throughout the purchasing process. They helped put us in contact with everybody we could possibly need (finance, handy man, chimney specialist, locksmith, inspector, etc). If you're buying in the Maplewood / South Orange area, I highly recommend using Allison and Myrial.

“My fiancé and I recently purchased our first home in December. Our first introduction to Allison and Myrial was through Allison’s website. After signing up for her daily emails, we were able to get daily lists of houses in our budget and areas in which we were looking to buy. As first time homebuyers we had a million questions. Myrial, … Allison’s colleague, answered every question we had quickly, professionally, with research, and without talking down to us. On our days which we scheduled visits, Myrial planned everything out beforehand and even picked us up and drove us to the showings. We were moving from Jersey City and didn't have a car, so this was essential. During the showings Myrial gave us our space to see the house and form our own opinions. She was not overbearing which was great. After we formed our opinions, she provided us with her expert advice and opinions which were always helpful. The final thing which really set Allison and Myrial apart was the network of professionals Allison has developed over her years of experience. We used her network for our mortgage lender, our home insurance provider as well as our attorney. Because of how hard everyone worked, we were able to close in a little more than one month. We were so lucky to have the team of Allison and Myrial on our side during this process, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone.” Read More ▾

“Allison Ziefert was exactly what we wanted in our realtor. First, she spent the time to educate us on the process - she suggested we spend the time reviewing with her each step of the process and each of the documents. This was invaluable later when we were buying a home, and in the speed of getting official offers in … and negotiating. In the SOMA area this process is stressful, and pre knowing what we were signing and the full picture of the process was great. Then, Allison also took the time to learn about what kind of home we were looking for and then offered her honest opinion of what were the positive and negative points to the home, and what to think about in 5 years or 10 years about the home. And, she gave us space to look on our own. She is incredibly trust-worthy, which we found to be one of the most important traits between realtor and buyer. This has to be #1. And, she was not afraid to give us honest advice, even it meant moving on from the sale. When she really wanted us to see a home, even if we were skeptical, she pushed for it but she didn't waste our time looking at homes that weren't in our style or good for our family. She also took the time to educate us on the competitive market and the different and often unknown scenarios that new buyers face in this unique market (like waiving the appraisal). When we finally put in an offer, she had great relationships with the seller's realtor, inspectors, attorneys and mortgage folks to help make sure we got the home, and get us to the right people. You also will have a ton of questions from day 1 to closing, and she was always available for us. We can't really say enough great things about Allison. ” Read More ▾

This is our second time working with her - we bought our home with her three years ago when we moved from Manhattan and now, when relocating, it was a no-brainer to list with her. Allison knows the market and community inside and out. Any question, she has the answer. … She professionally and seamlessly sold our house in less than a week (far above list in a multiple offer situation). Not only that, she went FAR above the call of her job as realtor. She met experts at the house for quotes, she coordinated the removal of extra furnishings, etc. We had a tight timeline and what turned out to be difficult buyers - both of which could have made for a stressful situation but, because we were working with Allison we knew we were in good hands. She is THE BEST. You will get the right price, no questions will go unanswered, and everything will be handled beautifully.

“"My husband and I just closed on a home in West Orange NJ, without Allison Ziefert it would likely not have happened. Both my husband and I are truly impressed with Allison, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a great realtor. She is knowledgeable, patient, offers great suggestions and overall an exceptionally well organized profession. After viewing … a number of homes we found the perfect one. The house was new to the market and our offer was below list price and at Allison's suggestion we requested a decommissioned tank removed as part of the offer. We knew this might be a sticking point and that the owner may want to wait for more offers....but Allison waited and presented our offer to the owner in person and closed the deal! Then the process of getting to closing began....we had to deal with a traveling seller, a seller's attorney who did not know NJ law, a seller's agent who was not available, our attorney who worked part time, the town of West Orange and oh yes, Hurricane Sandy! who arrived just in time to delay the removal of the oil tank and put the closing date in jeopardy. Through all the delays and mayhem Allison keep on course, with an eye focused on our need to close on time. One day before closing there was a major delay in getting a COO that could delay us by three weeks, Allison kept her cool and worked her connections to pull of the impossible....she obtained the COO the morning of closing, and we closed ON TIME. Thank you Allison for a job well done!"” Read More ▾
