A local practice, not a call center.

B. Lal operates out of the Weichert Realtors office serving Hillsborough Township and the surrounding Somerset County market. That matters because real estate here is specific — the difference between a Mountain Road listing and a Beekman Lane listing is measured in tens of thousands of dollars, school feeder patterns, and commute minutes to Newark or Bridgewater.

You work directly with B. Lal from the first conversation through closing. No hand-off to a junior associate, no out-of-state assistant fielding your questions. The same person who walks your property on a Tuesday afternoon is the one negotiating your offer on a Thursday evening.

The practice is deliberately small. Four to six active listings at a time, so each one gets the marketing attention, the showing strategy, and the pricing discipline it actually needs.

Four ways
to work together.

Every engagement starts with a no-cost conversation. Below is what most Hillsborough clients come in needing — and the indicative pricing you can plan around before we meet.

Residential sales — listing side

Full-service representation for sellers of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos across Hillsborough, Montgomery, Franklin, and Branchburg. Includes a pre-launch pricing study, professional photography, MLS exposure through Somerset County, targeted digital marketing, open-house scheduling, and offer negotiation through attorney review.

Listing commission 5.0% of sale price

Rentals — landlord & tenant

Placement for Hillsborough rental properties — single-family rentals, townhome leases, and the smaller multi-units around the Route 206 corridor. Tenant screening, lease drafting under New Jersey landlord-tenant law, and move-in coordination.

One month's rent $2,400 typical

Comparative market valuation

A written comparative market analysis for Hillsborough homeowners considering a sale, refinance, or estate planning. Pulls the last 90 days of comparable Somerset County sales, adjusts for lot size, condition, and location, and gives you a defensible range — not a single aspirational number.

Standalone CMA $185 flat

Buyer advisory

Representation for buyers purchasing in Hillsborough and adjacent towns. Includes neighborhood-specific guidance on schools, taxes, and flood zones, plus offer strategy.

Paid by seller at closing No direct cost

Marketing package

Pro photography, 3D tour, MLS syndication, and a custom property page. Included with every listing at no incremental charge.

Bundled with listings Included

How a listing
actually unfolds.

A four-stage cadence refined over fourteen years of Hillsborough closings. Each stage has a clear deliverable, a clear timeline, and a single point of contact — me.

01

Walk-through & pricing study

I tour the property, note deferred maintenance, and pull comps from the last 90 days of Somerset County sales. You receive a written pricing range with the reasoning behind it.

Week 1 · 5–7 days
02

Prep & marketing build

Staging guidance, a professional photography session, a 3D tour, and a custom property page. MLS listing goes live on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning for maximum portal traffic.

Week 2 · 4–6 days
03

Active showing window

Two open-house weekends, private showings by appointment, and weekly seller reports showing portal views, showing count, and feedback from buyer agents.

Weeks 3–6
04

Offer & attorney review

Offer presentation, counter-strategy, and the New Jersey attorney-review period handled in close coordination with your real estate attorney through to a clean closing.

Weeks 7–10

Commission,
said out loud.

Most Hillsborough sellers I meet with have never had commission explained line by line. Here it is. The total commission on a listing is split between the listing broker (representing you) and the cooperating broker (representing the buyer).

What you keep at closing is the sale price minus the total commission, the New Jersey transfer fee, your mortgage payoff, and any closing credits negotiated during attorney review. No surprise line items.

Standard listing
5.0% total — 2.5% listing, 2.5% cooperating broker. Includes full marketing package.

Concierge listing
6.0% total — adds pre-listing prep coordination, staging rental management, and a paid social campaign.
