Client Testimonials

Carolann is the quintessential full-service real estate agent. She is highly reliable, trustworthy, and hands on, bringing to you her decades of experience in the business, in addition to her vast rolodex of skilled contractors in many fields. Most importantly, Carolann acts thoughtfully and with your best interest at heart.
I cannot say enough good things about Carolann (and her team at Christie’s).

Carolann was professional and sensitive to my needs to sell my mother's house after my mom passed away. Carolann has expert knowledge and a professional network to help with every step of the way. Carolann helped me: put together an estate sale, clean, repair, maintain, donate items, understand each step of the sale process, assist with paperwork, negotiate, and so much more! Carolann made everything so easy for me, which is a blessing, especially since I live in California and was not able to be nearby. I highly recommend Carolann to anyone buying or selling a home.

Fast, speed, moving, angling...results. Effort is for 12 year olds. You deliver results. That's the difference. That's what you're about Carolann. Love it.

We could not have asked for a better agent than Carolann Clynes. She is extremely knowledgeable, particularly about the area we were looking in, professional, always diligently protected our interests, patient, and never pushy or overbearing.

We worked with Carolann for an extended period of time due to market conditions.  In this overall challenging environment, we were very fortunate to have such a professional on our side when we were selling and also when we were buying.  Carolann guided us through every step of the way with her experience and elegance.  She is a really classy individual, and a great professional who understands the market, the towns, the system and the psychology involved in real estate transactions.  She was always patient, analytical and creative.  In today's market, you definitely need someone with Carolann's experience and class to help any current or future homeowner maneuver the market.

Carolann Clynes did a tremendous job supporting us through a very difficult closing process. She also foresaw potential issues throughout the process and took preventative action early. It was comforting to know she was on top of issues.

Moving from Europe to Summit, NJ should have been extremely stressful, but CAROLANN CLYNES provided all of the help we needed - from finding the perfect neighborhood to locating a great house.  Her professionalism and industry prowess made all of the difference in our search.  We had no time to waste so she made sure the homes we viewed matched our specifications and taste.  Carolann's knowledge of the local real estate market is unsurpassed so we were able to make a competitive offer and close the deal quickly.  Even after we moved in, she continued to provide relocation support and advice as she is a long-established and well respected member of the community and knows the area like the back of her hand!

As an attorney representing executors and families in the settlement of estates... I am pleased to recommend Carolann Clynes with the highest praise. Her judgement and experience in advising executors as to the marketing of real property held in an estate and in formulating and implementing strategies is invaluable.

Joseph E. Imbriaco, Esq.

Selling in this market is a real challenge. Carolann is a go-getter that goes above and beyond to ensure her clients get the best deal. We had a particularly challenging transaction and if it had not been for Carolann, it never would have happened. I have seen her in action for many years on many deals. She is an A+.

…pricing strategy was excellent.

Jean and Leighton Andersen , 81 Mountain Avenue , Summit , New Jersey

We felt Carolann was the consummate professional. I cannot adequately explain how happy I was with her service. She is without a doubt the most educated, knowledgeable and professional real estate agent I have ever dealt with and this is my third home!

Thomas and Karen Devine , 55 Dale Drive , Summit , New Jersey

As an attorney representing executors and families in the settlement of estates, and, occasionally, as the executor himself, I am pleased to recommend Carolann Clynes with the highest praise. Her judgment and experience in advising executors as to the marketing of real property held in an estate and in formulating and implementing strategies is invaluable. She understands the unique responsibilities placed on fiduciaries and the sensitivities of families and beneficiaries. Moreover, her coordination of skilled persons in dealing with inspection issues, utilities, moving, and sales of tangible personal property help to make the task of the executor and estate attorney much easier.
