Chatham, a colonial settlement named for William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, was divided into Chatham Borough and Chatham Township in the 1890s. Although they remain separate municipalities, The Chathams share many common resources including the newly expanded library and highly ranked school system. Yet each has its own character. Chatham Borough features a charming downtown with many award-winning restaurants, while Chatham Township retains plentiful open space. The Chathams offer an easy commute to Manhattan by rail and bus and excellent access to corporate New Jersey. Chatham was recently named as one of the top 10 places to live by Money Magazine. The Borough ranked #24 and the Township ranked #1 in NJ Monthly's - Top 100 Places to Live

Selling Your Home >Locating A Buyer
Listing your home with our agency gives you the advantage of having a team of experts apply themselves to the task of finding you a buyer as quickly as possible. In the process, we try to arrange showing appointments that are convenient to both parties, but it does not always work out that way.
Last-minute appointments are sometimes necessary because buyers who are relocating from other areas are often on tight schedules. This can be annoying to sellers unless they understand the nature of the real estate agent's job. When selling homes, we sometimes have to rely on our intuition. Many sales have been consummated as the result of last-minute appointments.
The prospective buyer who is on a very short house hunting trip may need a house now! In this kind of situation, the real estate agent can make things can happen fast! So when the phone rings at the last-minute, keep in mind that the appointment represents an opportunity for the sale.
