We move roughly 84 Hillsborough Township properties a year — single-family colonials on Amwell Road, townhomes off Route 206, and the occasional 1960s split-level that just needs the right photographer. Pricing is transparent. Commission is capped. The advice is what you came for.
01 — About the agency
Re/Max Preferred Professionals opened its Route 206 office in 1998, back when the township was still half farmland and a four-bedroom colonial on Beekman Lane could close for under $240,000. A lot has changed. What hasn't is how we work: one agent per file, no call-center handoffs, and a written pricing rationale attached to every comparable we hand you.
We're a small shop by design — eleven licensed agents, two full-time appraisers, and one in-house photographer who shoots every listing at no additional cost. Most of us live within six miles of the office. We've walked the neighborhoods you're considering, we know which streets flood in September, and we'll tell you before you make an offer.
Our average seller in 2024 received 97.4% of list price in 18 days on market. Our average buyer paid $4,200 below appraised value. We don't chase volume. We chase outcomes you'd describe the same way we would.
02 — What we do
Every engagement starts with a 45-minute consultation at our Route 206 office, at your kitchen table, or over a video call — whichever surfaces the honest number faster. That conversation is free, and it's where most of the work happens.
Full-service listing representation for single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums across Hillsborough, Montgomery, and Branchburg. Includes professional photography, a 3D Matterport tour, MLS syndication across 14 platforms, and weekly showing feedback reports. We stage occupied homes at no additional fee.
Tenant placement and lease management for landlords holding one to twelve units in Somerset County. Full credit and background screening, income verification at 2.75× rent, and a 12-month lease guarantee. We handle the lease, the move-in inspection, and the first repair call — so you don't have to.
A 14-page comparable market analysis backed by three months of Somerset County MLS data, tax-assessment history, and a written adjustment rationale. Used by sellers preparing to list, estates in probate, homeowners contesting assessed value, and divorces requiring a neutral third-party figure. Delivered in five business days.
Hourly buyer representation for first-time purchasers, downsizers, and relocating professionals arriving at the Pfizer or J&J campuses. Includes school catchment mapping, flood-zone verification, and a written offer strategy before you sign. Our fee is paid from the transaction at closing — no upfront cost to you.
03 — How we work
The process below describes a typical seller engagement from the first phone call to the closing table. Buyer-side work follows the same rhythm, in reverse — we'll send you the timeline on day one.
A 45-minute conversation — phone, video, or at the office — to understand the property, your timeline, and any contingencies (job relocation, school year, estate settlements). We pull preliminary comps during the call so you leave with a number.
We walk the property room by room, photograph for our internal file, and note any deferred maintenance that will surface in inspection. You receive a written prep checklist — what to fix, what to leave, what to disclose — within 48 hours.
A second meeting to review the full valuation, agree on a list price within a $5,000 range, and sign the listing agreement. We finalize photography scheduling, the 3D tour, and MLS copy. You approve every word before it goes live.
Listing goes live on the Garden State MLS and syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and 11 additional portals. We hold one weekend broker's open and two public open houses in the first ten days. You receive showing feedback within 24 hours of every visit.
We present every offer in writing within 12 hours of receipt, negotiate terms with a clear recommendation, and manage attorney review, inspection, appraisal, and the title company through closing. The median file closes in 14 days from listing.
04 — Commission
Our commission is quoted in writing at the listing meeting and doesn't move. The figures below are total — meaning the buyer's agent co-broke is paid out of the percentage shown, not added to it. There is no transaction fee, no marketing surcharge, and no "processing" line item at closing.
The Standard tier is what most Hillsborough sellers choose. It covers everything required to list, market, and close a typical single-family home. The Concierge tier adds pre-listing staging consultation and a paid social campaign. The Estate tier is built for executors, attorneys, and out-of-state trustees who need us to coordinate cleaners, haulers, and an estate-sale partner.
All three tiers include professional photography, a 3D Matterport tour, MLS syndication, and a 90-day listing term. You can cancel any time, in writing, with no early-termination fee.
