 Quiet streets, quality schools and plenty of green space
Berkeley Heights was established in 1899 but its real growth began some fifty years later. Builders of the 1950s and 1960s recognized the appeal of its rolling hills and river banks and proceeded to create handsome homes for the growing families of that era. Today, the township retains a balance of unspoiled natural surroundings and family-friendly residential areas. Residents enjoy an inviting shopping district and a wide choice of local restaurants. Recreational programs attract participants of all ages and there is an outstanding school system with a unique K-1 Early Learning Center. There are excellent rail and bus connections to Manhattan.

Working With An Agent >Choosing A Real Estate Agent
When you buy or sell a home, you want to work with a real estate agent who has the experience and expertise to handle such a complex transaction with a minimum amount of stress. When choosing a real estate agent, you should look for technical competence and interpersonal skills.
Ask prospective real estate agents several questions. How long have you been in the business? How do your services differ from those of your colleagues? Do you have a principal broker/owner who works closely with you and serves as a backup person if you are not available?
Keep in mind that there are no "right" answers to these questions. Don't rule out a less-experienced agent who brings energy and enthusiasm to the job. You want personalized professional service from someone whom you can trust to lead you through the process.
