And the team of Charlie and Ted was awarded Yearly Sales Leader. Alison Miller, Barbara Tesa, Heidi Hyland and Kristi Anderson received the Captain’s Club Award, for $3 to $5 Million in sales volume. Ann Nussberger and Cathie Witte, also shown in the photo below, received Honorable Mention for sales of $1.5 to $3 Million. It’s not surprising that Green Team New Jersey Realty is #1 in Vernon.

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
