"It was difficult enough going through a job relocation to the Midwest, and getting two kids ready to go off to college.  Selling a home during the best of markets would be stressful enough in this situation, but in today's real estate market it seemed like an impossible task.  

Selecting Essie Cruz as our real estate agent was the best decision my wife and I could have made.  With her professionalism and thorough knowledge of the market she was able to guide us through this process.  Essie knew what we had to do with our property to make it as marketable as possible, without breaking our bank account or doing any unnecessary renovations.  She had a realistic idea of what to expect in today's real estate market.  Within an incredibly short period of time we had a buyer at a price that was reasonable and fair, and the closing went smoothly.

We would definitely recommend Essie Cruz as a capable, efficient, and knowledgeable real estate agent."

"I recently had the privilege of working with Essie Cruz at Weichert Realtors this past summer, 2008.  I met Essie at an open house in my prior neighborhood where we quickly started a very comfortable rapport.  After I sold my condo I immediately called Essie to take me out "shopping" for a new home in Jackson, NJ.  My husband and I met Essie and she took us to see several homes within the area we requested.  She was well informed on each home she showed us.  Unfortunately during my search my father took ill and passed away.  Essie was extremely patient and understanding during this difficult time.  After we found our home she guided me through the purchase, finance and closing process ensuring I didn't miss a beat.  When we movied in she called to check in on me to see how I was doing and offered much comfort.  Essie Cruz is a professional who took the time to understand our needs and worked with us to make the entire process seem effortless.    I would recommend my "friend" Essie to anyone who was looking to purchase a home."

"Essie Cruz, We want to thank you for all your help in finding our house and within our budget. I have to say working with you for the last 8 years have been extremely pleasurable both socially and professionally. You are always professional and always went over and beyond your duties even when you were under the weather and you always kept your cool. You always listened for what we were looking for and were always on point when we looked at each house. Your knowledge of the neighborhoods, surrounding areas and schools were impeccable. We just wanted to thank you again and we will always refer you to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent."

"Essie Cruz was a pleasure to work with.  Throughout our entire selling/buying process, Essie was friendly, professional and always updated us on any progress.  Even though the state of the economy wasn't ideal during the sale of our condo, Essie remained optimistic and marketed our listing to the best of her ability and made sure that we received top dollar for our sale.  When it came time for us to purchase our next home, Essie walked us through the entire process and made sure we were comfortable with our decision.  We would definitely use Essie in the future, as well as recommend her to family and friends."

"Essie Cruz, from Weichert Realtors, helped make one of the most stressful decisions in my family's life a pleasurable one.  We purchased a home last April through Essie in Manalapan, NJ.  My wife and I began our search six months prior from NY with two children.  As difficult as that may sound, looking for our first home in a different state with two young children was actually very easy.  All we had to do was follow Essie's lead.  As a broker, she was extremely professional, working around our schedules and never late to an appointment.  As a person, she was very compassionate to our feelings when things didn't work out the way we hoped." 

"We can't say enough positive things about our realtor Essie Cruz. We ran into her when looking at houses and truly took an instant liking. Despite the poor economy, Essie successfully helped my husband and I sell our condo and purchase a home within a few months. Essie guided my husband and I, who barely knew anything about selling/purchasing, and was there to immediately help and respond to any questions that we had."
