What our clients are saying  

Noelle was wonderful to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. She got to know me as a client, her customer service is more than exceptional. She is very responsive, always on top of things, and even ahead of the lawyers and inspectors, she is on your side. She even reminded me of all the things I needed to do before moving in, insurances, utilities etc. She is honest and dependable and made the whole process stress free and enjoyable. Thank you for finding me my dream retirement home!

 

~ Kim Lowery

Noelle helped us with our dream home and was very knowledgeable and responsive through out the entire process. Navigating the current market was tough but she helped us get through it. Even after we closed she was always available to answer all our questions and help us out

 

~ hillbe340

Couldn't be happier to have Noelle as my agent. Thank God she's patient and made it happen. I know I would've given up if I was her, glad she didn't. Noelle made it happen!!!

 

~ eszymborski

Noelle was wonderful to work with. She helped my fiancé and I buy our first house. She made the experience easy and enjoyable for first time home buyers like us. Noelle was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and quick to respond to our many questions: from getting us all of the information on houses we were interested in touring, to recommending a great pizza place by our new home! She was also able to refer us to our lawyer, mortgage broker, and house inspector, all of whom were very professional and great to work with. We are so thankful for hard work and definitely recommend her!

 

~ Alex Nizzardo

Noelle was a great agent. She walked us through the entire process and pointed out many important key elements to make this transaction a breeze. We will use her services again and again.

 

~ JUAN FIGUEROA

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Noelle DiBenedetto. We were searching for our forever home in the midst of an aggressive, competitive housing market. Noelle is honest, hands-on, and always answered every call, text or email no matter what time of day or night it was. She utilizes her relationships and expert knowledge of the market to ensure her clients present as the strongest buyers. When we finally found the “one” and ended up in a bidding war, Noelle walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and we thank Noelle for that every day! In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase (and sale) as simple and successful as possible. We would recommend Noelle to anyone.

 

~ Daniel Aguarda

Noelle was an absolute blessing from the beginning of our home buying process. Being a first time home buyer I had so many questions and Noelle was so knowledgeable and helpful with everything. She took the time to get to know us personally and really get a feel for what we were looking for and wanted the best for us no matter how long it took or how many homes we looked at. Our home buying process lasted over a year and Noelle was constantly in contact with us with possible winners. I would highly recommend Noelle to anyone looking for a home, she made the whole process enjoyable and fun and we ultimately couldn't be happier with our new home

 

~ Fiser

5 Stars For Local knowledge, Process expertise, Responsiveness, & Negotiation skills My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Noelle on both our purchase and our sale. I have never worked with a realtor so on top of every detail as Noelle is. She clearly knows this market and how to do her job well. She's a tough negotiator and didn't let one detail slip by. Like she was constantly on the mortgage companies to make sure the closings were on time, she reminded us to turn on the utilities, she arranged all the inspections and advised how to proceed, etc. etc... She made herself available whenever we needed her and even rearranged her schedule a few times for us. She really went above and beyond. I highly recommend Noelle if you want a competent and hard worker to get you easily through the stress of buying and/or selling a home.

 

~ catechrostowski8

Noelle was amazing throughout this whole process. She was extremely diligent, working super hard to find us our dream home. This was our first home- Noelle took the time out to walk us through the process, answer all of our questions, and more. She was truly amazing- I would absolutely recommend Noelle!

 

~ Shannon Elizabeth

Noelle was very Nice and Patient with us. We never felt pressured in the selection of right house for our family. She listened and understood our needs and did everything in her power to help us stick to the budget we had in mind. We highly recommend Noelle to anyone out there looking to buy a new home.

 

~ Ipatchner

Jeff and his crew are professional, honest and will sell your home for the maximum money in the shortest time. He makes sure that the process runs smoothly.

 

~ Todd Mayo

Having worked with other agents before, I always felt something was missing. Once I started working with Noelle, I finally figured out why I always felt that way. She went so above and beyond helping my family find the perfect home. Constantly making phone calls for us, diligently checking for listings, and always thinking outside of the box. She is the perfect mix of “get things done” and “kind and respectful”. The beginning of my search for a new home (with a different agent) was filled with anxiety and stress. Once I started working with Noelle, I never felt stressed again. She made the process easy, and fun. I am forever grateful for her, and highly recommended her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

 

~ Cassidy Garrison

I'd like to take this opportunity to review Noelle DiBenedetto. Our home had been previously listed by multiple agents without a single offer. My husband and I had a lot of trepidation finding our next agent because of previously unsuccessfully selling our home. A family friend had recommended Noelle and after our initial chat and her presentation on how to properly market our home, we were sold. Noelle sailed through all the complexities with ease and made us feel comfortable, safe with the process during covid, and dare I say EXCITED on what might be next for our family. I had full trust and confidence in Noelle's ability to navigate the fine print and help us reach our goal. We had three offers on our home within the first four days of it being listed, unheard of considering our past experiences. If you're looking for an agent to partner with, that shoots from the hip with incredible accuracy, Noelle is it. Noelle's keen sense of the market in unparalleled times is unmatched.

 

~ Theresa Lee

As first time homeowners, my fiancee and I were very nervous about taking such a major step in our lives. Joe Goretskie, my realtor, was truly a godsend. Any question I had, he was there with an answer and made me feel at ease. Joe, Aaron, Jeff and everyone else at Green Light were great. I'd recommend Joe and Green Light to anyone in the market for a new home. In fact, I've given Joe's business cards out to several of my friends. Thank you Green Light Realty for making our dream a reality. You guys are the best.

 

~ Rob Pajaczkowski & Megan Condon

"Aaron Wheeler is the best realtor!" "We absolutely LOVE this neighborhood and this house! Every night we literally sit on the couch and say how lucky we are to have gotten this place and what we have...we just really wanted to say thank you because you found this house and made that deal happen, even while you were at a festival you made sure to be available and you skipped your bowling tournament for us! You really pushed to find us a home we would be happy with and we couldn't thank you enough!"

 

~ Deanna Kramer

Christina, is a miracle worker and if I can rate her higher than 5 stars then I'd give her another 5 stars for her knowledge, determination, friendliness, and professionalism. By luck, I somehow found her through Zillow and I'd like everyone to understand you need to keep her as your favorite realtor for any current/future real estate needs. Christina really goes way beyond and truly understands her customer's needs. I want to thank her a million times because she found our dream home without me working the countless hours it would take. Christina, our family is in debt with you for finding this gem and I will always refer all my friends, family, and colleagues to come to you for your services. I'm also wishing you and your family the best in your new home! I wish there were more realtors like you out there but I was definitely blessed having worked with you. Get ready to come visit us in our little backyard for some good summer fun!

 

~ Marv Ochoa

Christina spent countless hours helping us find a home and sell ours. She is extremely hard working, easy to work with and understands her clients needs. Highly recommend her services.

 

~ Sue Nimmer

Christina has been an absolute gem to work with! She is extremely relatable, responsive, and maintains a spirit of lightheartedness while also managing to be extremely professional. Christina has been responsible for a number of real estate transactions for my family members, friends, and myself, and I could not regard her any more highly than I already do. She is a breath of fresh air in the real estate industry and her flexibility is certainly unmatched.

 

~ Alissa

....your best asset is Christina McDonnell. There are so many good things to be said about Christina, there is just not enough room here. I will try to sum up the best I can. Christina is not only very knowledgeable about real estate, she is very caring, understanding, she has the patience of a saint and stands her ground against realtors who think they are better. She does all this with grace and dignity. I never once heard or saw her react in a negative way. Believe me, she had reason but never did react. She had to withstand all kinds of comments and actions from the other realtors in the Basking Ridge area. She also showed me at least 84 different houses from the shore area to Hunterdon county. Not once did I hear a complaint. She is truly a professional. I would come back for her services in a second if I needed them. In fact, I’ve already told her, when I sell this house, I will be knocking on her door. I also promised not to look at 84 houses again!

 

~ Margaret

Jeff is the most awesome realtor that ever existed. He did not bang my head against other bidders and landed me the house of my dreams. He also sold my existing home super fast.

 

~ Robert Held

It was great working with Jeff. He worked hard throughout the selling of my home and finalizing the transaction. He's experienced, has a lot of connections and was able to get a great price for the house I sold.

 

~ Jeff Balsam

Last year my husband and I where having a lot problems with his landlord i was looking for a place near jamesburg I wasn't having much luck everything was out of my price range or not pet friendly I was frazzled and turn to Facebook to see if anybody new of any place for rent that was pet friendly and couple hours later Jeff popped up and said he was a realtor fast forward a year Jeff found use a beautiful condo that we rent below my price point and it's pet friendly and I have the best landlord ever. Thank you Jeff for everything you done us

 

~ Gail Hurd

~ Brittany Eve

Love the service! I will never use another realtor again for NJ!

 

~ Douglas Boyle Jr.

Best realtor and pizza maker I know. Jeffrey knows his stuff

 

~ Steve Dansereau

Jeff helped me sell my condo and I was very pleased with his skill level, knowledge and overall attitude. I am very picky about communication skills and his were extraordinary. I highly recommend this office for all of your real estate needs.

 

~ Mary Reiner Colleran

What started off as a general inquiry on a price of a foreclosure to possibly grab as a rental property, turned into a full-fledged search for our first home. The patience and determination shown so far has been second to none as we're probably about 10 months into our search, a few broken deals (some my choice, some not) and through it all, never one complaint or inkling of frustration. Passion, industry knowledge and experience are on full-display at Green Light Realty. If you are a buyer, seller or an agent looking to latch on with a new, modern company, I'd highly recommend Green Light Realty!

 

~ Omar Muniz

I have a condo that gets rented to a new tenant every year. Jeff has been super helpful and professional in finding quality tenants quickly. In addition, when we sold our home, he got us full asking price.
