About Us

Our clients have the advantage of working with TWO top real estate professionals from start to finish and have ONE responsible real estate team that they can trust. We strive for absolute customer satisfaction, developing long-lasting relationships that extend years beyond the sale or purchase of your home - this is the key to our success.

With over $260 Million in sales, Till Horkenbach and Lisa Sammataro have been award-winning multi-million dollar producers in Bergen County(Click here) for more than a decade and are multi-year recipients of the NJAR® Circle of Excellence Sales Award®, New Jersey Monthly's Five Star Professional® Award, and Bergen Magazine's Best Realtors of Bergen County. They are consistently acknowledged as among the area's leading REALTORS®.

We genuinely care about the service we provide to our clients. Buying and selling a home is an enormous financial and emotional decision, and we work tirelessly to assure the best possible results for our clients.

We provide our clients with honest and detailed information about the condition of the local real estate market, which can mean the difference between success and failure. As bi-annual participants of the Jeffrey Otteau Spring and Fall Housing Workshops, we have our pulse on both national and local economic changes influencing the housing market (click to link to LATEST HOUSING MARKET INFO on website), knowledge that is indispensable when planning to buy or sell real estate.

We take personal ownership of all phases of the real estate transaction. With over 300 successful real estate transactions, we have accumulated valuable knowledge, especially from (300+) home inspections, to expertly guide our clients through every step of the home buying and selling process. As Certified Negotiation Experts®, we use our strong negotiating and communication skills to advocate for our clients.

Our sophisticated internet marketing program uses leading-edge technology to generate extensive online exposure for home sellers and buyers, incorporating professional videography, drone photography, interactive floor plans, and advanced target marketing for a seamless experience on over 300 real estate websites and social media platforms.

We also have the capacity to provide a completely end-to-end virtual home-buying experience (click to link to TheRemoteHomeBuyer.com).

I like working with both buyers and sellers. Buyers are more time consuming, but it's enjoyable to get to know your clients and see their happiness and excitement when they buy a new home. Sellers offer more leverage and better marketing opportunities. (more) I like working with both buyers and sellers.

I agree with many of the other answers: low inventory and multiple offers. In addition, in Northern NJ, many of our entry level buyers who may only be able to afford a fixer-upper, are competing with investors/flippers with cash.

(more) I think Customer Appreciation days can be a valuable means of showing your appreciation and staying top of mind with your clients if planned to have maximum impact. For example, three weeks before the event, call you clients and let them know they'll be receiving an invitation and you hope they can come. Two weeks before, email an invitation. One week before, send a text reminder. At the event, you have an opportunity for face-to-face contact. After the event, send a hand-written note thanking them for coming. That's five opportunities to "touch" your client for one event!

I've found that a great way to build business is by networking in your community. Be part of a business networking group (or start your own), join your local Chamber of Commerce, meet other business professionals in your area and make it a point to give referrals to others.
