Welcome to my Website

WHY NOT BUY WHEN THE PRICES ARE DOWN AND INTEREST RATES ARE THE LOWEST IN 40+ YEARS!!

My past experience as managing the relocation process for two major New Jersey corporations for 13 years has helped me to appreciate the concerns and stress on both my buyers and sellers.

My pledge to you is to make the selling or buying experience a smooth one by managing the whole process from our first converstion until your move in date and beyond.
I have been agent of the month numerous times in my office as well as agent of the year.  I am active in various community, school activities and church ministries.  I have been serving as the Prudential NJ Properties  Chairperson  for "The Sunshine Kids", Prudential's charity, since 2005 through present for all our offices. "The Sunshine Kids" is a non-profit organization dedicated to children with cancer.  PNJP has been honored many times at the Prudential convention for raising some of the highest monies in the country for the charity.  Prudential NJ Properties raises monies thru various fundraisers such as golf outing, swim-a-thon, haircut-a-thon (actually teens shaving their head for cancer) and selling our generic SSK greeting card to name a few events. 


Personal Interests

I am fond of playing golf with the "9 holers", as well as family.  I belong to a book club and love to travel.  I enjoyed watching my son run track in high school.

Professional Background

As I mentioned in my welcoming comments, I was the Relocation Manager for two major corporations relocating 150 engineers and other management personnel for 10 plus years and then for another firm for 3 years doing similar relocations as well as management hiring at both firms.  In these positions I both wrote the policy for our relocatees and managed their relocation including third party firm involvement when we took properties into inventory.  I also have managed many properties for people that are relocating out of the country and wanted to rent their home until they return.  I also managed the tuition reimbursement program for one corporation.


Specialties

Buyers relocating to New Jersey especially the Essex, Morris and Somerset areas.  I have a vast relocation background dealing with two major corporations for over 13 years in the relocation field.  This coupled with being a full time realtor since 1999 gives me a good background in the real estate industry.

Community Involvement

 I am the on the board for a foundation based out of Verona called the Minette Grosso McKenna Angel Foundation.  We raise funds to help people in town that have breast cancer mostly.  Minette was a good friend, a nurse, an advocate for breast exams and a spokeperson for the Susan G. Komen North Jersey Affiliate.  Minette was taken from us too early in her life but fought the good fight for 10 years. 

I also am for the 6th year the Chairperson for Prudential NJ Properties for the Sunshine Kids which is a non-profit organization based out of Texas.  We raise funds to send children affected with cancers on trips together, like the Make a Wish Foundation but instead of families going on a trip it is a group of kids that can relate to each other.  We have most years raised almost $100,000 a year through various activities I am proud to say!!

I am active as an Eucharistic Minister at my church, Our Lady of the Lake, in Verona and also my sons schools in various volunteer activities, first at Our Lady of the Lake School for 11 years and then 4 years at Seton Hall Prep and continue to be involved with the   Mother's association at SHP.     

I have been involved many times on volunteer committees for the real estate commission as well.


Personal Background

I was born in Yonkers, NY and am one of four children to Bob & Molly Gray - Molly was from County Mayo, Ireland.  Dad is the son of a realtor/contractor and was from Yonkers, NY.   We moved from Yonkers when I was about 5 to Nanuet, NY and I went to St. Anthony's School in Nanuet and then onto Albertus Magnus High School in Bardonia, NY.  I then attended The Berkeley School, now Berkeley College, in White Plains and received an Associate Degree and worked for a few companies such as Henningsen Foods in White Plains, NY; Costco Industries in Spring Valley, NY and then onto ITT Teleplant in Montvale, NJ.  I went from there to ITT Avionics in Nutley as the Relocation Manager doing relocation and hiring.  I decided to  go back to school at night and pursued my Batchelor of Science in Business Administration Personnel for 8 years at night - did it the hard way!! I worked for ITT for about 10 years.  When I received my degree I went to work at Timplex, an Unisys divison in Montvale, NJ as the Supervisor of Employment handling various personnel issues including hiring and relocation.  After three years at Timeplex and after getting married it was time to start a family so I stayed home and we had a son, my husband Jack and I, and I was happy to be able to stay home for 10 years to see him grow.  I have been at Prudential NJ Properties about 11 years now.
