Nancy & Raymond Brungard - Listing Client in Bridgewater, NJ - Single Family Home - Closed in 2021

"Bill is a great realtor for today’s super-hot market. Before we even put our home on the market, Bill was there for us with great advice and fast responses to all our questions. With his help, we got our home on the market fast, and had 18 offers in 4 days. Bill analyzed the offers, and presented them to us in a way that made it easy to select our buyers. Then after the sale, Bill kept us focused and calm so we could successfully closing on the home. He made what could be a super tense experience a celebratory one instead. Here is the best part…. Bill is top shelf, always taking the high road. We were proud to have him as our realtor. We highly recommend Bill, and to Bill, THANK YOU!!!!"

Royce McGarry - Listing Client in South Orange, NJ - Single Family Home - Closed in 2021

"Bill helped me sell my home in South Orange. It was a tricky transaction given the market, timing and numerous headaches from the town building officials. Once again Bill worked hard to close the deal, and I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in NJ."

Nicole and Ryan Mosby - Listing Client in Scotch Plains, NJ & Buying Customer in Morristown, NJ - Closed Condo and Single family home in 2020

"This is my second time working with Bill and Cecilia Flagg. I first dealt with them when I bought a condo in Scotch Plains and appreciated their honesty, support, responsiveness and customer service. I recently got married and my husband and I quickly realized the condo wasn’t enough space for us or a growing family. I immediately contacted Bill again to do two transactions. I listed my condo with them and they utilized excellent marketing skills which helped my condo get sold in less than 2 weeks for well over my asking price. While the condo was being sold, they worked on finding us a house. Their knowledge of areas in NJ were super helpful and they listened to our wants and needs. We ended up finding a house in Morristown that was phenomenal and met all our requirements and provided us with more space than we imagined. My husband and I deeply appreciate their diligence and attentiveness in the entire process. They helped navigate between our lender, my buyer, buyers lender/ realtor, and our seller throughout the entire process which speaks to their level of experience and expertise to manage so many moving parts. In the end we closed both deals on the same day, which is very rare and difficult to coordinate, however Bill and Cecilia made it possible in a seamless and effortless transaction. We are so grateful to have them as our agents to help us find our forever home. I would highly recommend them and would definitely contact them again for future real estate matters."

Royce MacGarry - Buying Customer in South Orange, NJ - Single Family Home - Closed in 2019

"Bill is a perfect agent to work with for those who want a reliable, experienced straight shooter. Bill doesn't push or try to persuade you, his clear goal is to show you the properties you are interested in, and then make your purchase experience as easy as possible. Bill regularly took the time to follow up with lawyers, other agents and mortgage reps to keep the process moving. He even helped us negotiate a higher credit for home repairs. This is the second time I've engaged with Bill as my buyer's agent, and it won't be my last. Thanks Bill!"

Royce McGarry - Buying Customer in 2018 - Multi Family Home - Closed in 2018

"Bill helped me purchase my first home, which was also a HUD property. He, as well as his team, were supremely responsive throughout the process, both during and after business hours. Buying a HUD home is certainly a headache with lots of hoops to jump through, but I can say with confidence that not a single bottleneck was cause by Bill & team. He went out of his way to follow up with my lender as well as the seller team on a regular basis to keep the transaction moving forward. Would recommend Bill and his team to anyone looking to buy property in the NJ area."
