Testimonials

Marcus and Eric were incredible! They listed, secured multiple offers, and got our home under contract in 1 week, selling for over our asking price......we couldn't believe it. We were initially nervous as we had already moved to another state, but they could not have made the process any easier. They communicated with us every step of the way, and helped us with everything from getting our home in show-worthy condition, to recommending a great, local, real estate attorney. They are smart, personable, trustworthy and get the job done. They are the REAL deal!

I don't really care enough generally to write google reviews. But I made an exception because buying a home is a huge freaking deal. Marcus and Eric are a literal dream team. After playing the Zillow game for two years, my wife and I finally found "the one". We reached out to Eric and he asked about everything we were looking for and our range. He then setup the showing for the house we wanted as well as added other places that he thought would be good to see to compare. So what happens? This place that we had seen on Zillow about 30 times and never cared to see, we ended up loving and putting an offer in 2 days later! That's when Marcus stepped in. He handled the stressful agreement process as well as walked us through everything we would need to know as first time buyers. He fought for us at every step and went out of his way to ensure that we were completely satisfied with everything leading up to and including our closing. He handled all the coordination, and even followed up on some punch list items himself ensuring that things were functioning. This is the best real estate duo in Jersey City and beyond.

The only thing that would have made it go better was if we just did whatever Marcus and Eric told us. We put a lot of unnecessary stress on ourselves trying to do it our way. (And maybe on Marcus and Eric, too!). But you really can put your faith in their hands! They had our best interests at heart all the way. And we not only got the price we had hoped for, but we got so much more than what we thought was possible! Thank you so much The Pinto Group @ Compass

Eric and Marcus made the sale of our home quick and easy for a number of reasons: 1) experts in their field - understand the market and process better than anyone, excellent marketers, 2) service oriented and easy to work with - attentive, responsive, personable, 3) highly invested - demonstrate a level of commitment and engagement that is unheard of

I worked with Marcus and Eric to sell my property at the Sugar House. I was based overseas throughout the transaction and they were absolutely incredible. They handled everything for me from afar. I worked to have the property fully renovated the month prior to selling, and they handled the entire renovation from start to finish. They went above and beyond every step of the way. Just prior to listing, they reached out to me, as they felt I should increase the sale price, (which I think is pretty rare in an agent, as many are simply after # turnover of transactions). They did a superb job marketing the property and within the day of listing - I had multiple offers and it went for full ask. They were completely trustworthy and professional throughout. They were outstanding and made the whole process extremely easy and stress free. I would strongly recommend them to anyone!

This was my first real estate sale so naturally I had a lot of questions about the process, even some odd ones. Nonetheless, they cheerfully provided guidance every step of the way. Their marketing and promotion were second to none, and I was under contract in a few weeks. The entire process - from prepping, to listing, to contract, to close, was very, very smooth thanks to them. Working with professionals like Eric and Marcus who know the local market very well, and are also experts at what they're doing, really does make all the difference and keeps things as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend!

I have worked with Marcus three times now - first to rent, second to explore purchasing and finally to actual purchase a new home. He is a fantastic partner in the home-buying process. He is knowledgeable about the local market, quick to respond and transparent. Plus, he is fun to work with! Marcus also has a good network of providers that you need throughout the process - mortgage brokers, home inspectors, lawyers - which takes the burden of searching and vetting off the buyer. Highly recommend.

Originally we reached out to determine understand the market, when we should sell and what we would have to do to prepare. In the first meeting, they not only came up with a strategy but also a plan for how to achieve this ASAP. In fact, we had an offer accepted at asking in less than 30 days from first meeting with them. After meeting with them, it all sounded too good to be true and we spent at least a week talking with other agents. If not for that, I'm sure they would have gotten things done even faster! Additionally several challenges popped up during the process but Eric and Marcus handled it with ease and a get it done attitude, taking off the weight from my shoulders, from dealing with our maintenance company to contractors, bringing in cleaners and stagers, etc. It was great having them on our side especially as a first time seller. Just trust in them and everything will go smoothly!

My wife and I worked with both Eric and Marcus recently. With the Covid-19 pandemic going around and lots of units on the market, it was an interesting time to list our condo for sale. We appreciate that they walked us through the listing process, and provided updated timelines as it progressed. We enjoyed their professional and positive attitudes, while accommodating to our requests. Through our journey, they were available to discuss pricing strategies as they have local market knowledge and an extensive list of potential buyers. Excellent frequency of communication, as we were always kept in in the loop. They were transparent and honest when answering our questions while providing insight. As they were seasoned professionals, we appreciate the effort and strategy they took. They conducted marketing campaigns on multiple platforms, helped stage our condo to make it very presentable and found a photographer that captured photos of our condo that were very flattering. In addition, we appreciate that they helped ensure that safety precautions were taken for us and potential buyers during the Covid-19 pandemic. In conclusion, we found both Eric and Marcus to be driven yet trustworthy individuals, resourceful, experienced, responsive with a great work ethic and winning personalities.

I worked with Marcus and his colleague Eric Leventhal from the Pinto Real Estate Group at Compass on the sale of my luxury Condominium in Downtown Jersey City, NJ. Marcus made excellent recommendations on changes that I should make to the fixtures and appearance of my condo to make it more appealing to potential buyers. He is also a master of the real estate sales process and made it very easy for me to electronically execute the documents and contract provisions needed to successfully complete the sale of my condo to qualified buyers. Marcus has excellent people insights and provided helpful perspective on the buyers’ circumstances, which made it easier for me to handle the challenging aspects of this transaction.
