Stanton Realtors Reviews

Realtors Deirdre Graham and Suzanne Miller worked tirelessly through the whole process of getting our family's long neglected house ready to sell. Always available, they took care of getting estimates and hiring contractors as well as doing an outstanding job of staging. They walked us through it all from beginning to end. We got and accepted an offer above asking in the first week of the house going on the market. I highly recommend them for their business acumen and personal dedication and for making what seemed to us an overwhelming undertaking as easy as possible.

We had the best experience with Joan Barrett and Stanton Company. Joan and her team handled every aspect of the selling process with constant professionalism and attention. From the initial walk through with Joan's team to the fully staffed staged open house as well as how to handle the multiple above asking price offers the entire process was a pleasure. When you are dealing with your single largest investment which happens to be where you and your family lives you don't want to trust it to just anyone. There is a reason why Stanton Company has been successfully selling homes since 1922. It's because of people like Joan Barrett and Richard Stanton. I worked in Montclair for 30 years and had many realtors and real estate companies to choose from. Joan and Stanton Company was an easy choice and we would highly recommend them. We are very blessed to know Joan and used her to sell our home.

Katie Scandalios is a fantastic agent. She helped us find our perfect house recently. She is very professional and straight forward. Katie was very responsive to all our questions as first-time home buyers. She was incredible patient during our search and was very helpful throughout the entire process. Katie is very gorgeous, as a matter of fact my two and fours years old kids likes her and touched by her. Highly recommend to work with Katie.

Nancy Simonic is a very competent and knowledgeable realtor. Her years of work in the construction industry has given her a broad base of knowledge to help you find the property that is right for you. She follows through from the beginning to the end of every transaction.

If you want to know (nearly ANYthing) about Montclair, go to June and Stanton Company Realtors. After three real estate transactions with June in the last handful of years, there's no one else I'd prefer to work with. June is whip-smart, a resourceful and tireless advocate for you, and an honest, thoughtful sounding board when you need one. She knows the area, she understands the housing, and she has top-caliber references for all things real estate. Call June --> really. You will be so glad you did.

We had a great experience both buying and selling a home with Stanton, specifically Katie Scandalios. Our buy and sale were anything but typical and Katie was there to walk us through the process step by step and assure we got the best results.

Rich and his team managed the sale of our property with professionalism and were a pleasure to deal with during the process. Having already moved overseas there were numerous details to take care of and having him on the ground greatly help ensure that the sale went through. He went beyond what an estate agent would normally handle, e.g. mowing the grass and accommadating buyers repair requests, and kept us informed at all stages. He knows the Montclair/Glen Ridge area well and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

As a first time buyer, I was excited to start my journey of looking for my perfect home. Little did I know how overwhelming the process could be. Someone who stepped in an resolved all of that was Jessie Cutting. She was professional, responsive and listened to exactly what I was imagining. She booked back to back viewings to get the most out of the limited times I had to see houses. She was so flexible and I really enjoyed my time with her! She found me the PERFECT home. I am currently in my home, writing this review in front of my beautiful bay windows that I always wanted to have! Thanks Jessie!

My husband and I purchased our first home recently. We were so glad to meet Jessie, our realtor, who helped us to find the perfect house. She knew from the first day the type of house we were looking for and showed us houses that perfectly fitted us. She made the process so easy and guided us with all the steps. We definitely recommend her for the perfect home hunting! :)

What a fantastic real estate company. Katie is the absolute best. She was so patient helping my family find a new home. We are so very thankful for all of the wonderful advice and expertise. We would happily recommend her, she is such a absolute pleasure to work with!

We can't say enough about June Stanton and the amazing (and over and above service) she and Stanton Realtors provided for our very difficult short sale purchase in Montclair. Without her knowledge and perseverance, we would have never been living in our wonderful Montclair home . June also flawlessly handled the sale of our Bloomfield house with very difficult buyers

Responsive, thoughtful, patient - and we are not easy people to deal with.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sue Miller and Deirdre Graham at Stanton Realtors on the purchase of our first home and and I would highly recommend them to any potential buyers or sellers in the market in the SOMA/Montclair/Glen Ridge areas. They really worked with us as a team and helped us figure out what we exactly we were looking for in terms of price and area - we never felt pressured by them and really felt like they knew exactly what we wanted when it came to amenities and community. Thanks to them, we found the perfect first home and really couldn't be happier with our choice. Thanks for all your hard work, ladies- we would love to work with you again in the future!

I was lucky to have realtor Katie Scandalios by my side during my recent home purchase. She was patient, proactive, and organized throughout the entire process. She found great places for us to view, walked us through submitting several offers, and was always available to answer questions. I felt confident every step of the way while working with Katie!

Rich and his team are as good as they come in this area. Trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable. Would heartily recommend him to others looking for a terrific realtor!

We sold our house in August of 2019. June Raegner and Rich Stanton handled all aspects of our listing and sale. It was a pleasure to work with this couple; they are keenly aware of and familiar with the local market and its many dynamics. Both June and Rich were responsive to our many questions/concerns and went out of their way to help in all ways possible. My wife and I highly recommend Stanton Company.

I've used Rich Stanton as my broker on both a purchase and a sale of property in Glen Ridge. Most recently he found me a perfect rental in Montclair while I continue a search with him for a new house to purchase. His knowledge of everything going on in the market in the Montclair area can't be beat and I absolutely recommend him and his firm to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

I worked very closely with Nancy Simonic. She went above and beyond every day to help me find the wonderful home I now love in.
I would highly recommend Nancy . She is a 10 in my book.

We had a great experience with Joan. We can t say enough about how easy she made the whole process for us. She has a unique vision evaluating properties and help us find the perfect house for our family. We highly recommend Joan!

I recently used the services of Nancy Simonic to assist me in finding a commercial property to suit my businesses needs. In my years of looking for such properties, Nancy, by far, was the best agent I've worked with. She listened to my needs, and then went to work! She not only found multiple options for me to look at but went above and beyond by also doing research and speaking to zoning and land use boards in the towns of these potential properties. Nancy did ALL of the legwork and I highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs! I know that I will be contacting her again real soon! Thanks Nancy!!

After living in our home in Montclair NJ for 32 years and raising our family here, we made the hard decision to move. We did not need a 6 bedroom room for 2 people. We interviewed multiple realtors and met Deirdre Graham and Suzanne Miller from Stanton Company Realtors. We found them the most practical, knowledgeable and honest people. They explained the sale process for a house in our price range and what we needed to do to get in ready for sale. They were never pushy and provided good information with comparables and told us the reality of selling our home. After several months getting our house ready with their help, we put our house on the market and it was sold in 4 days at a realistic price. They were fun to work with and if we had stayed in the neighborhood, we would have become friends. Thank you Deirdre and Suzanne. If you need an honest broker who works with you, call them. You will not be disappointed.

For the sale of my house in Montclair I am so glad that I worked with June Raegner. I am grateful that June was clearly working for us and helping us to make decisions that were in our best interest, rather than what was most convenient for herself or others. June clearly has a great knowledge of the area and the market. Our house lacked recent comps, but her suggested listing price was higher than we thought possible and she was confident that the price was accurate. When the appraised value came in significantly lower than the listing price, June asserted that her price was correct and helped us to quickly find a cash buyer. She held out for the price that she felt was fair, even though her company had to forego half of the commission. Through all of this, June showed amazing negotiating skills and was always available and communicative. She is an extremely ethical realtor and kind person.

Nancy Simonic knows her territory and can show you what is available in your price range and help you find your dream house. She is a life long NJ resident with a strong knowledge of the history of the community and the state. Give her a call you will not be disappointed.

I enthusiastically recommend Stanton- we worked with them four years ago and found them to be highly knowledgeable, available, practical and ethical in their dealings. I have recommended them to many clients and friends subsequently and heard nothing but the best feedback.

Rich and his team at Stanton are a top flight realty group. Our experiences selling our home with them proved why they are highly regarded. Stanton helped us to stage the home, used a great photographer to create brochures, provided feedback and of course had a solid grasp of the Montclair Real Estate Market. More importantly, they responded to any phone calls and texts immediately. I would highly recommend Rich and his team.

My husband and I worked with Katie Scandalios at Stanton as our realtor when we sold our house and had a great experience. She had good advice for us about how best to position our house for the Montclair market, and she was very knowledgeable and smart. If she didn't know something, she would go find out and get back to us quickly. She had great tips for us about staging, contractors, recent sales of other homes, and--so important--helped us set a good asking price for our home. Katie was hardworking, cheerful, and energetic and was there for us every step of the way. She was also realistic and honest about what to expect during the selling process. Thanks to Katie and Stanton, we got five offers on our house, which sold for way over the asking price. Highly recommend working with Katie!

We got to know Katie Scandalios through a coincidence when we were looking for renting a house. Our initial realtor was not very active so we had to step in and help with search/appointments/etc. We were interested in renting a house listed under Stanton Company Realtor. We called their office to schedule an appointment, they were very welcoming and we felt very comfortable working with them. We decided right away to work with them, that when I met Katie. We thank God for sending Katie our way, she was a pure bless.

We worked with Katie for over a year until we found the house we liked. She initially helped us finding a rental place for a year while we were looking to buy a house. Katie is very energetic, knowledgeable, and responsive. She is always on top of things and she always cared about finding something good we like. To further explain, we had situations in which Katie very politely advised us: 1) to put less money, 2) to carefully think about whether the house is appropriate location, 3) not to put an offer due to issues with the house, and 4) not to put an offer as the house is not good for us. This is something realtors do not usually do! We strongly feel that Katie is caring about us getting something we like.

We changed the towns we were looking in three times and she has been always extremely helpful until we got the house we really wanted. The phrase that she always used to say: I am sure we will get something you love . Finally, we were able to get what we wanted.

Katie has great connections. She helped us getting professional opinions/feedback in numerous occasions from handy man, inspector, broker, school principal, and lender. In one occasion, we were able to get a consultation, letter draft and review from an attorney she knows. All of that was for free. Such consultation was at least 200$ somewhere else. In another occasion, she was able to reach to a school principal through a friend to get more insight about the programs in the district. Once we were close to the closing date, Katie worked really hard and helped us as well as the attorney to make sure we get things done on time. She has taken tasks at some point that my attorney/ myself should have taken. That was very much appreciated.

My kids love Katie! I can t forget when my son woke up the first day in the new house asking whether Katie is sleeping at our house. They get used to see her and play with her to the point that they wanted her to live with us.

I have recommended Katie to couple of friends. When I hear my friend's stories with their realtors, I thank God that we worked with her. :)

I highly recommend Stanton & Co! The realtors are genuine, personable, friendly, and down-to-earth. June and Rich took time to truly get to know us in order to get us into the right home. Under their honest and kind guidance, the process to purchase our very first home was easy and effortless. Stanton & Co is still my go-to for local real estate needs. You can t go wrong with this family-owned business.

We had a wonderful experience with Cathy. She is patient, listens, and always had our best interest in mind. She goes above and beyond, and we now have a beautiful apartment that we are just in love with.

June is the definition of customer focused. She is extremely knowledgeable about the business and knows Montclair like only a local would!

June was beyond helpful throughout the entire process. We were really happy and fortunate to work with her!

June helped us sell our home and she continues to be a responsive, knowledgeable resource for us. We highly recommend her and the Stanton Company.

Stanton company is absolutely top notch and the best realty in the Montclair area. Every single agent has their own niche and expertise. They understand the market, they will be honest and never push you to do something that's not right. They are connected to EVERYONE in the town, go to board of ed meetings, have resources for house (and life) stuff forever, truly and deeply care about their clients. Stanton gets the pulse on houses off the market and can get you in to see things you simply would not with anyone else.

Cathy was amazing! She was so helpful and so kind during our search. The application process was easy and efficient. Definitely will recommend this company to everyone we know!

Andree Bertsche of Stanton Company was the landlord's agent for a rental in Montclair with a one year contract. Her mentions of parking were as follows: In the listing, Andree noted the parking as being a matter of paying $50 for a permit to park in the lot behind the apartment from 5 PM to 9 AM. In person, she asked, "And they're okay with the parking situation?", which appeared to refer to having to pay $50 for a parking spot. In the lease, she wanted it noted that "Tenant will pay $50.00 a month for Municipal Parking Lot (5pm-9pm)[sic] seven days a week."

After we signed the lease, the Montclair Parking Authority told us on two different occasions that the only permit immediately available was for Overnight On-Street Parking (would have been a 25 minute walk); that all other permits had a waitlist of at least 2 years; and that the specific permit Andree advertized had a 7-year waitlist.

When we complained about the unattractive options of walking 25 minutes each way or waiting 7 years to be able to park in the municipal lot, Andree indicated that she was already aware of and insisted that she was "clear" about the parking situation. She was unwilling to help us solve the problem. Andree apparently believes it is appropriate to advertize amenities even when they are not realistically obtainable during the lifespan of the lease. I believe that when an amenity cannot be obtained for 7 years and the lease is only for 1 year, it is misleading and unethical to imply the amenity is available.

The conclusion of the parking problem, which is not as relevant to the review but may be of interest: Our apparent options were to buy parking from a nearby business or home; to buy someone else's existing permit and get it transferred to us; or to buy temporary permits and switch them out every day. Fortunately, when we contacted the MPA a 3rd time to buy daily passes, a different employee was willing to sell us a "Night" parking permit, which allows parking between 5 PM and 8 AM.

I do not recommend Andree Bertsche. She may have willfully misrepresented the parking situation. She definitely refused to help us solve or clarify the parking situation when there was an apparent inconsistency between what she advertized and what the town advised. Given Andree's claims of being aware of the parking situation and of being familiar with Montclair, it would have been simple for her to tell us that there should be other permits that are not on a 7- or 2- year waitlist or that we should try to talk to other people at the MPA.

June helped us a ton with finding a great apartment in Montclair. She was a great advocate for us throughout the whole process

We could not have been happier with our experience with Rich. He provided accurate and timely information and counsel all throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Deirdre Graham and Suzanne Miller were wonderful in helping me and girlfriend finding our new condo. They took in consideration for what we were looking for and were extremely helpful. I can't thank them enough. Great job.

Nancy Simonic was our broker for the purchase of our home in Montclair. A lot of buyers brokers just let you do all the work and research on Zillow, unlock doors, and then collect a check, but not Nancy! We have never seen a harder working buyer's broker. Patient, great communication, strong expertise on the market, flexible on scheduling, and deep knowledge of houses and their various issues. A great person and professional. Highly recommended!

I worked with Katie Scandalios at Stanton Realtors to find a 1 bedroom apartment in Montclair, NJ and had an absolutely lovely experience. The hardest thing--for me--with apartment hunting is knowing if you're getting the best deal. I immediately trusted Katie's input and expertise of the neighborhoods I was considering. Katie is super genuine, eager to help, and without a doubt will find you your next home!

Twice we moved from Israel to Montclair, New Jersey, and on those two occasions we rented an apartment with the help of John Regner of Stanton. The service we received was excellent at every stage. John helped us in the stages of organizing and searching, while we were still in Israel, and she made a tour of potential apartments through Fiesta. She managed all the stages of the negotiations for us and helped us assemble the document file required for renting an apartment. John made a warm reception and guided us through the crossing itself, sharing the knowledge she had about the area, the schools places to shop first, and so on. She even brought a gift book for the children.
We were impressed that June was very professional, well acquainted with the surroundings, the supply, the types of houses, the character of the different parts of the city and good relations with other real estate agencies, always available for consultation (even after we rented the apartment).
Thank you to John and if you move to the area, you are advised of her brokerage services.

We moved twice from Israel to Montclair, New Jersey, and on those two occasions, we rented an apartment with the help of June Raegner from Stanton Company. The service we received was excellent. While in Israel, June searched an apartment for us and showed us the apartments that she toured using Facetime. She managed all the stages of the negotiations for us and helped to assemble the documents file required for renting an apartment. June guided us through the moving itself by sharing the knowledge she has about the area including the schools, how and where to shop for furniture etc. She even cave a gift book for the children.
We are impressed by her high professional standards. She is well acquainted with the surroundings, the types of houses and the character of the different parts of the town. Her availability for any question was high even after we already signed the lease agreement.
Thank you June. We highly recommend your brokerage services.

Jessie Cutting did an amazing job at helping me navigate the Jersey City rental scene. There are so many choices! Jessie was able to streamline the prices by booking visits back to back, only at buildings that met my requirements. In one week end we narrowed the choices to a few and finally helping me land a great deal in a great building. Could not have done it with out her. Highly recommend!

Katie Scandalios is an A+++ realtor. She is hard-working, patient, and incredibly responsive and caring. She made us feel at home in our new town even before we moved, and helped us find our perfect apartment. I can t recommend her services highly enough.

Rich and his firm handled the sale of my mother-in-law's West Orange townhouse in a truly professional manner. They understood the needs and concerns of their client, gave good guidance on positioning the property in the market and provided overall excellent service. The transaction was negotiated and closed in a timely fashion and at a good price.

Nancy was the most valuable resource wevwe had in real estate for the past 3 years. She took intiative, sought opportunities, made connections, and helped us achieve our goal of renting available commercial spaces. With her kind spirit, constant communication, and acting in her client's best interest, you can rest assured that Nancy will help you reach your goals in the best way possible. Her background in building also provides experience that is very useful, and I've greatly enjoyed her creative solutions over the years. I'm so happy that I can call Nancy my friend!

Nancy Simonic of Stanton Realty has been a great agent for us. Whenever we needed to talk with her, she was immediately available. Very accommodating to us, we watched her warm personable relations with her clients which gave them a feeling they were working in a secure atmosphere which could only lead to a great deal.

Used Rich and Stanton Realty for commercial rental and commercial and residential purchase search. Hard to find a better advocate and researcher - thorough and always available. Thanks Rich!

We've worked with June Stanton-Raegner through two heavy-lift transactions within the last 5 years. She is so skillful: fleet, smart, & has rock-solid integrity. When the COVID pandemic converged with our latest transaction, she helped us to navigate those waters with grace. We are very pleased & relieved with the outcome. June is responsive, adaptive, & wicked smart. She will work very hard to get you the best possible deal but she doesn't play games or dehumanize the other parties involved either. As my grandmother would say about those she admired in her own war stories: "she remained a person". Thank you June!

Cathleen Goodman was our fantastic agent on a deal that was made possible by her consistent ability to work with all parties to complete our home purchase. She has a lot of heart, and it shows!

Working with Nancy Simonic gives us confidence that we are making the best decision. All her advice for homeownership has been spot on . . . AND whenever we didn't take her advice...we regretted it.

Working with Nancy Simonic was not only a pleasant experience but incredibly informative as well. This professional knows her market, she knows the intricacies of buildings and knew exactly what to show my daughter and I. I would highly recommend you give her a call when ready.
