Barbara was so patient with us and always took as much time needed at all hours of the day to make sure that we understood each step of the first-time home buying process from start to finish, we never felt rushed and never felt left in the dark. Extremely knowledgeable, dedicated to her clients, and super friendly – she is really the best! Even post-closing, she is responsive to any questions or when you just want to share some progress photos.I’d highly recommend to anyone that was searching for a home. Thank you, Barbara, for helping myself and Mike finally find our home!” – Ashley Harsch

Haunted Homes: Barbara Tesa’s tale from Clinton Road
Barbara Tesa shares her frightening experience on New Jersey’s Clinton Road.
Clinton Road is located in West Milford New Jersey, and became famous for being one of America’s most Haunted Highways. This 10-mile stretch is home to many paranormal experiences, hair-raising folklore, and even true crime stories. Aside from that, being surrounded by a dense forest and with extremely limited cell phone service, Clinton Road can make anyone feel uneasy…
A road filled with hauntings
It was a rainy October evening and Barbara was on her way to meet clients at a home they wanted to view. Due to the rain causing traffic delays, Barbara was running a few minutes late. She decided to call her clients to notify them of her delay but they had hesitation in going into the home. Barbara insisted they wait just a little longer for her to arrive; they agreed.
Barbara began to feel uneasy. The rain started to come down in buckets and the road began to narrow; she was surrounded by dense woods to the right and what appeared to be a pond on the left.
As the rain came down harder, Barbara needed to slow down to be able to see out her windshield. Up ahead she saw a couple on a tandem bicycle, as she approached them she was able to see they were dressed in clothes from an era well behind us. She thought to herself “They must be going to a Halloween party somewhere close by but how strange to be out in this weather.”
A moment later she came upon a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. A man was standing there with his foot propped up against his Jeep, wearing a cowboy hat while smoking a cigarette. It was almost as if he was enjoying the scenery on a beautiful sunny fall day.
Up ahead, a man appeared on the left side of the road. He was standing in front of his motorcycle with his helmet resting on the seat. Again, enjoying the day as if the rain had no effect on him.
Barbara called her clients to let them know she was only seconds away. They told her they were no longer interested in the home because the area gave them an eerie feeling. Barbara notified the listing agent to let her know they would not be viewing this home and to make the owner aware.
Barbara decided to make a K-Turn in the road to head back towards the highway; the road was so narrow it became a disheartening task. The rain continued to come down and her heart began to race. Barbara called her husband to ease her uncomfortable feeling, and he remained on the phone until she made it back to the main road. She told her husband about the strange occurrences that she had seen and yet, moments later after turning around, the man by his motorcycle, the man with the cowboy hat, and the couple on a tandem bicycle had all disappeared.
When Barbara got home she spoke with the seller’s agent who suggested she look up “Clinton Road in West Milford NJ”. Barbara gasped at what she read; apparently what she had seen were APPARITIONS; Ghosts of the past!
This is a true story based on the experience of Barbara Tesa.
A Spine Chilling Story
An experience like that is sure to give you goosebumps for years to come. A quick google search will show hundreds of other stories similar to Barbaras, perhaps you even have your own. If you’ve never visited Clinton Road would you be brave enough to?

Barbara’s thoughts on hitting the cap:
“I couldn’t be happier to have reached company CAP at Green Team New Jersey Realty. The sales commission structure at Green Team keeps me incentivized and focused on my business throughout the year. And, while it’s energizing to know that my commissions for the rest of Q3 and Q4 2021 will be at 100%, it’s my clients – past and present – who are the focus of my business. I’ve had the pleasure to work with so many wonderful people throughout the years. Seeing them be happy is rewarding to me and, though I’ve helped them reach THEIR goals of finding their dream home or listing, marketing, selling their current home, it is they who have actually helped me reach MY goal. This business is competitive and challenging much of the time; and buying/selling a home is an arduous process for most. So, when clients put their trust in me and are satisfied with my service throughout the process, I’ve reached my goal. It is their satisfaction that motivates me. I am so very thankful for my clients as well as their referrals, which I very much welcome and appreciate; they all make up the heart of my business and I look forward to continuing to serve their real estate needs. To Green Team New Jersey Realty, I am thankful for the team support, encouragement and, of course, the CAP Program!”
Green Team Realty’s commission structure is, no doubt, one of the finest in the industry, but it doesn’t end there. Our lead generation platform, certified sales assistant program, and dynamic training systems are just a few other things worth mentioning.

Haunted Homes: Barbara Matchett’s Story
Barbara Matchett always loves a good ghost story.
Today she shares a chilling experience she had in August of this year.
When Barbara’s son and his wife were ready to buy their home, who better to help them accomplish this than Barbara? After seeing the listing for a home with lots of potential right in Wantage New Jersey, of course they had to see it.
Barbara arrived early and decided to wait outside for her son and daughter-in-law before entering the home. While she was standing there alone, chills began to creep up her arms and she could feel a grim energy oozing from this house. She has shown many houses throughout her real estate career but has never felt something like this before.
It was a relief to Barbara when she saw her son and his wife pull up in front of the house. She was conflicted about whether or not she wanted to share this feeling with them. Barbara didn’t want to discourage them from this home if it was only her mind playing tricks on her.
As they got out of their car and walked towards her, she ultimately decided it was best to say something. Barbara opened her mouth to tell them about the eerie feeling she had but her son spoke before she could.
“What’s up with this house?” He asked her “There’s a really weird feeling here that’s making me uneasy.” Barbara was shocked and a little relieved that he was feeling the same energy as she was.
Despite how creeped out they were by the home they decided to tour it anyway. They had already made the trip and didn’t want to waste it.
As soon as they entered the home the feeling of dread got worse. Barbara could feel the air inside the home was heavy and full of sadness and despair. There was no doubt in her mind that, at some point, something horrible had happened in this house. At the time of their viewing, the house was completely vacant. Barbara couldn’t help but wonder if the previous owners left because of the same feelings they were experiencing now.
The haunting feeling of this house made the three of them wrap up the showing rather quickly. It wasn’t a surprise to Barbara when her son and his wife decided that this was definitely not the home for them.
People say homes can hold onto energy long after their previous occupants have moved on. Could this have been what Barbara and her family experienced on that day? If you want to read more creepy experiences from our agents take a look at Krissy Many and Barbara Tesa’s stories.
