No, all Realtors are not the same! 

When you need professional services, you see a professional, right? If you need surgery, you seek out the most reliable and talented doctor you can find. If you need legal advice, you find the best lawyer available. 

Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? 

Only a professional with years of experience and insight into both the marketplace and human nature can give you the advice you need to make your selling transaction a memorable one. In our case, it's FOUR professionals -- The Baldwin Dream Team -- who provide 24-hour service and care to each and every seller. 

It is our job to net you the highest possible amount from the sale of your home. Our aim is to: 

1-educate you to the real estate market
2-create a perception of value of your home
3-skillfully negotiate the deal 

We want you to feel that we are completely indispensible to you during this process, just as we have been for hundreds of buyers and sellers before you (see Roberta's "Testimonials" section of this website and read about her talented Associates -- Tamima Friedman, Nancy Chu and Dina Gruenfeld, as well.) 

Any licensed Realtor can put up a sign in your yard and register your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) -- tangible services we all provide -- but not everybody can help you position your home so that offers are forthcoming quickly and efficiently. The process can be complicated, especially with older homes with hidden problems such as a leaky underground oil tank and hidden structural defects. However, you will never feel confused or left in the dark when you are working with us. You'll be ready for anything!  

- We'll begin our relationship by walking with you through your home, suggesting how you can gently tweak it, if necessary, for maximum return. We'll prepare a comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for you so that you can see the actual review statistics on recently sold homes in your town, be it Montclair, Upper Montclair, Glen Ridge, West Orange, Bloomfield or other nearby markets; together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. we will do this for you, for free. 

- During the initial meeting, we'll introduce you to value-added service options that will save you money AND make home stand out in the marketplace, including our Dramatic Home Services and exclusive Home Inspection Rebate. 

- Our wide-ranging marketing plan for your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this website will market your property all across the web. Recent statistics show that more than 75 percent of all buyers go to the web first to find available homes. Yours will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, Google and other top national sites, as well as web portals across the ocean. Even if you have no idea about how the internet works, trust us when we say it is the Number One way to market a home today. To that end, we can place your home on NJDreamHouses.com within a few minutes time, along with attractive photos! The house will also be featured on RE/MAX's international website and on its affiliated sites.  

- When we begin marketing your home, we will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home, as will the 40 fulltime agents who work with me. Hundreds of other area agents will be immediately notified about your homes, as well. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home! 

- Contracts are complicated and intimidating. Interpreting the offers you receive is one of my most important tasks. Additionally we will make sure you conform to any and all New Jersey statutory disclosure requirements. We will also inform you of any inspections that you should consider having done ahead of time to smooth the negotiating process with buyers, and to ensure a successful escrow and closing. 

You pay no up front costs for these services! Real estate commissions are paid AT CLOSING only. So you can bet that we will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. We also believe in keeping a deal together, no matter what unexpected problems may arise. We will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! We can help smooth this out. 

Call or email Roberta for more information. Ask for a free Presentation. We'll explain our Exclusive Inspection Rebate and our failsafe Cancellation Guarantee, each designed to take the stress out of your listing experience. 

Fill out this form. Tell us a bit about your house, and your particular needs, and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks for considering The Baldwin Dream Team to represent you in this professional transaction.

Real Estate Tips
First Time Buyers >The Seller May Pay

The costs of buying a home may be daunting. For example, you may have finally saved enough for a down payment on your first home, with a little left over to buy the furniture you will need. Then you hear about having to pay closing costs you weren't anticipating, and this may seem like a real setback.

One way to cover such a shortage is to make the sellers an offer that calls for them to credit you for some of the closing costs. As a rule, the sellers may pay a maximum of 3 percent of the sales price if the buyer is putting five percent down. If the buyer is making a down payment of 10 percent or more, the seller can contribute up to 6 percent of the sales price to cover the buyer's closing costs. Some items, such as prepaid taxes and the first month's mortgage payment, must be paid by the buyers. Sellers may also contribute to paying the appraisal, points, title insurance, settlement attorney fees, state or local transfer taxes and similar items.

Keep in mind that if the credit is included in the price of the house, the appraiser will have to justify the amount, based on sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood.

Over the past decade plus, Roberta Baldwin has become one of Essex County's most respected real estate professionals, often quoted in the national media and, in 2007, a featured Realtor on the HGTV show "Bought & Sold". In 2007, The Baldwin Dream Team was a Top 3 RE/MAX team statewide, dollar volume. In 2006 & 2007, The Baldwin Dream Team ranked among the Top 2 producers in RE/MAX Village Square's 5-office network in Essex County, NJ and nationally at the coveted Chairman's Club service level. A recipient of the New Jersey Association of Realtors® Circle of Excellence Sales Award for the past 11 years, Roberta brings a myriad of talents to the job of helping her clients buy and sell homes. In 2003, she was named "Realtor of the Year" by the West Essex Board of Realtors. An award-winning former journalist, author, newspaper editor, marketing and publishing executive, her well-honed organizational, creative, and people skills are brought to bear on every deal she negotiates. She specializes in “staging homes” to give them a marketplace edge and, a such, has been the subject of feature articles in the New York Times, Star Ledger and other area newspapers. As past chair of the West Essex Board of Realtors’ Community Service Committee, she developed Library in a Box, an innovative, award-winning community literacy project bringing new children’s books to area daycare centers and also launched the now-annual "Just Sweaters" campaign for the WEBOR, spearheading the collection of warm garments for charity. A native of Rochester, NY, Roberta is Essex County, NJ's only top real estate producer who has also produced an off-Broadway musical, called (appropriately enough) “Suburb”. As the official biographer of singer Lionel Richie, in late 2004 she appeared as a 'talking head' on E!Entertainment's bio of the Richie family. Roberta is married to biographer and historian Neil Baldwin (please visit him at www.neilbaldwinbooks.com!) They have two grown children -- Allegra, a young executive in the fashion industry, and Nick, a member of The Baldwin Dream Team -- who grew up happily in Montclair and Glen Ridge after spending their earliest years in Brooklyn Heights, NY. In early 2004, Roberta welcomed longtime Montclair resident Tamima Friedman to her real estate team. You may access Tamima and the rest of the team's bios on the "About Me" tab, in the "My Associates Page" at the top of this website's Home Page. Tamima, a former freelance writer and home renovator, spent a decade in the Far East before relocating to Montclair, NJ. The Baldwin Team grew again in 2005, as Nancy S. Chu came to us with a wonderful combination of administrative acumen and creative talent. Nancy was an administrator at NYU Medical Center and a highly-regarded NY theater director prior to joining RE/MAX. She speaks Mandarin Chinese. In 2007, Sidney Simon relocated from Atlanta to join the team after a career career in human resources; Nick Baldwin segued from his personal training business to cover our rental and condo buyers, and Sam Anderson, a well-known local Realtor, became our transaction coordinator and investment and multi-family specialist. The team welcomes buyers from the world over to email or call them to discuss living in Essex County's beautiful towns; local residents are invited to experience the professionalism of The Baldwin Dream Team when they are ready to sell their homes. We are at your service!
