The practice

Fifteen years of quiet, deliberate service.

Pamela May opened her first office on Amwell Road in 2009, in the middle of a market that rewarded anyone willing to rush. She chose not to. Instead, she built a small team that takes on roughly forty listings a year — enough to know every client by name, every property by memory, and every quirk of the Hillsborough, Montgomery, and Branchburg markets.

We are not a volume brokerage. We do not run billboards. We work almost entirely by referral, which means our reputation is the entire business — and we treat it that way. Every listing is staged, every showing is accompanied, and every offer is negotiated in writing, not over voicemail.

What we do

Four services, done thoroughly.

Every engagement is fixed-fee or fixed-commission — never a surprise line item at closing. Below is what most Hillsborough families ask us for, and what each one typically costs.

Residential sales

Full-service listing representation: staging consultation, professional photography, drone, MLS syndication across the Garden State, private showings, and offer negotiation. We price for the buyer who will actually love the home, not the algorithm.

Commission 4.5%

Rentals & leasing

Single-family rentals, townhome leases, and corporate relocations across Hillsborough and Montgomery. We handle tenant screening, lease drafting under New Jersey law, and move-in coordination. Ideal for families between sales or relocating into the district.

One month's rent $2,400

Home valuations

A written comparative market analysis grounded in the last ninety days of Hillsborough Township closings, not a national estimate. Includes a recommended listing range, a prep checklist, and a sixty-minute walkthrough. No obligation to list with us afterward.

Flat fee $295

Advisory & prep

Pre-listing advisory for sellers who are six to twelve months out. We walk the property, recommend the repairs that actually return cost, and connect you with the contractors we already trust. A calm, unhurried plan for getting your home ready on your timeline.

Hourly $180/hr
Signature work

The staging difference, in one drag.

Every Pamela May listing is professionally staged before photography. Drag the handle below to see what a $4,200 staging investment did for a four-bedroom colonial on Brookside Drive — same home, same weekend, same photographer.

How we work

A measured, four-step rhythm.

From the first call to closing day, most Pamela May engagements run six to ten weeks. We move at the pace of your decisions, never ours.

01

Discovery walkthrough

We spend sixty to ninety minutes in your home, ask about your timeline, your next move, and what you love (and don't) about the property. No pitch deck, no pressure to sign. We leave you with a written summary of what we discussed, even if you list with someone else.

Week 1 · Free
02

Pricing & preparation plan

Within five business days you receive a comparative market analysis, a recommended listing range, and a room-by-room preparation checklist. We name the three repairs that will return their cost, and the two that won't.

Week 1–2 · $295
03

Staging, photography & launch

Our stager transforms two to three key rooms over a single day. Photography is shot the following morning — golden hour, weather permitting. The listing goes live on a Wednesday, when buyer traffic peaks in the Hillsborough MLS.

Week 3–4 · Included
04

Showings, offers & closing

Every showing is accompanied. Every offer comes to you in writing with a one-page summary of strengths, risks, and a recommended counter. We sit beside you at the closing table — and we hand you the keys to your next chapter.

Week 4–10 · 4.5% commission
Transparent fees

No percentage surprises.

We publish our commission structure because we believe sellers should know the math before they sign. The tiers below cover the vast majority of Hillsborough Township homes. For properties outside these ranges, we'll quote a custom rate in writing.

  • Commission is paid only at closing — never upfront.
  • Staging, photography, and drone are included in every tier.
  • Cancel any time before photography at no cost.
Standard 4.5%
For homes priced up to $750,000. Full staging, photography, MLS, and accompanied showings.
Estate 3.0%
For homes above $1.2M. Concierge marketing, national syndication, and a dedicated showing agent.
