Amy is amazing! We moved here from Brooklyn with very little knowledge of the area. Amy’s knowledge of the Maplewood/South Orange market is unparalleled. Not only that, but her expertise expands beyond here as well. She helped us navigate unfamiliar territory, provided invaluable insight into different neighborhoods, identified things to look for/avoid, and noticed things we never would have noticed. She stood by us and went to every open house with us, gave us her honest feedback, and never made us feel pressured. After a lengthy journey, in an extremely competitive market, amidst unfathomable bidding wars, Amy ultimately found us our dream house before it even got the market. We are so thankful for Amy’s guidance in finding our new home.

Amy made the stressful process of simultaneous buying and selling as smooth and painless as possible. She helped us hone down our "must haves", establish a reasonable budget for each town and helped point out pros/cons of each home that we would have missed. Amy knows everybody and has made so many helpful referrals to attorneys, contractors, etc.

Amy is phenomenal. I wouldn't be living in my dream home if it was not for her. She is everything you're looking for in a real estate agent and more. Here's why: 1) Amy is incredibly knowledgeable. She knows real estate and has an impressive network that she taps into to help you find your home (and likely sell your home too). Other agents I bumped into when house hunting always seemed to be impressed by Amy, which I think is a great sign. If you're a first time home buyer, she'll also take the time to go through the process with you and she'll be there with you every step of the way to make sure you're comfortable. Everyone Amy works with is fantastic too. For example, the attorney I worked with was great and very responsive. 2) Amy is a genuinely nice and caring person. I had shared that I was looking at a particular school for my child and she introduced me to a number of people she knew who had children that went to that same school. 3) Amy is always cool, calm and collected. Buying or selling a home is emotional, so I think working with someone who can be your voice of reason is a game changer. Amy helped me so much in the negotiation for my home. 4) Amy continues to be in touch well after I've closed on my home, which says a lot about her. Many of her clients are repeat clients and I completely understand why. So, in summary, you can't go wrong working with her. She's amazing in every possible way. If you're on the fence, give her a call and find out for yourself.

We really enjoyed working with Amy Paternite. She is a higly skilled realtor: knowledgeable, professional, patient and knows how to get things done. She efficiently found a buyer for our house (for an excellent price), and was very helpful in the purchase of our current house. She is also personable and reliable, so having her represent us to sellers' agents worked well. Like many realtors, Amy has access to mortgage lenders, lawyers, and other professionals who support the home buyng/selling process. However, given the importance and magnitude of these types of transactions, we strongly recommend independently engaging a mortgage lender, lawyer, inspector, etc. Amy went out of her way to make sure our purchase went through on schedule. We definitely recommend her.

Everything Amy did was above and beyond, but there are two areas where she deserves particular accolades. 1) Amy helped us get the best possible market for the home we were selling, by advising home improvements and staging that highlighted the valuable features of our home and helped show that our home was complete. She also navigated a sales and bidding process that could have been very complicated given that there were over 20 bids on our house. The process was as straightforward as it could have been, given the dramatic market movement we were seeing. 2) Amy helped us find and buy the right home in South Orange. Initially, we were looking in Maplewood, but Amy encouraged us to consider South Orange as well. Amy helped us understand the neighborhood around the home we ultimately purchased. She highlighted the trade-offs and guided us through the bidding process, helping us structure the best offer to meet the seller's expectations. The inspectors that she engaged gave us great confidence in the quality of the home we purchased. We highly recommend Amy!

We are so grateful to have worked with Amy for a second time for the sale of our first home and purchase of our new home! Above all, we always knew that Amy had our best interest at heart - whether that meant reaching out to contacts on our behalf to make sure our home was show ready or scouting other houses in the neighborhood to ensure we could feel confident in the offer we submitted we were in the best of hands with Amy. She goes above and beyond for her clients and truly works with only the best people. I hope to not have to buy/sell a home again in the near future but if I do, I already have my realtor.

Amy is a gem. We found her from her amazing google reviews and after a brief chat on the phone, we knew she was the one. Amy is direct, honest, no bs, but still manages to make you feel cared for and supported in what is a very stressful and difficult market. We were buying our first family home and moving back to NJ from Los Angeles - we trusted Amy to put in an offer on an house SIGHT UNSEEN and she made sure we got the house we wanted. She was right every step along the way. We were nervous buyers and she managed to put up with our anxiety with grace. She's well connected and I trust her referrals and eye for homes implicitly. Plus, she's funny and fun to be around. You can't go wrong working her! #dontpanic

Buying a house is easy, buying a "home" is not! Amy Paternite made us feel very comfortable with our experience and purchase. She has the ability to forsee any issues and resolve them before they become problematic. The Amy Paternite TEAM at Coldwell Banker Realty are just as helpful and wondeful. Amy Partenite is one-stop shopping, if you pardon the pun. Every Inspector, Contractor, Real Estate Lawyer Title Closer, Coordinator, Mortgage Loan Officer and Everyone in between speaks well, highly and volumes of praise of Amy Paternite and her Team. To reiterate, we were not in good hands- we were in great hands. I do not know how we became lucky enough to find such a hands-on Professional for our 1st home together but the stars must have been aligned or something. We are very grateful and happy that Amy Paternite was our Real Estate Agent. In a few years, if and when we sell our home, whom do you think we are calling? Amy Paternite, that's who! We hope that you make the right call too. Cheers! H. Luiz & Henry

My husband and I found Amy on google because of her amazing reviews, and she lived up to 5 stars and beyond! We are first time home buyers and she made the process seamless. She is real, smart, and an expert in real estate. From our first interaction until the last we always felt like we were in good hands. Amy is well connected and her team of resources are professional and knowledgeable. We are so grateful to have worked with Amy and recommend her to anyone buying or selling!

I can’t speak highly enough of Amy Paternite as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times and great to work with. With the fixes needed to be done on our home, Amy was there the entire time guiding us every step of the way. Once we were on the market, everything was seamless, and our home sold very quickly and full/above the asking price. Amy Paternite is the best real estate agent you can ask for, highly recommend!

Question: What do you get when you mix 2 parts (years) of Covid 19 with 1 part of Hurricane Ida and want to sell your house? Answer: Anxiety! What we found in Amy was a cool hand in those rough seas who helped steer us through the shoals of setting a fair price, finding contractors to attend to necessary fixes, and making sense of multiple offers - yes, we were fortunate. I recommend anyone wanting to sell a home to give Amy a careful listen.

Amy is such a hard working intelligent real estate agent. My fiancée and I were purchasing our first house and Amy made us feel so safe. Amy walked us through ever single step of the process, and we felt that we couldn't go wrong if we listened to Amy's guidance. She knew the pro's and cons of every property in the area, and more importantly she knew exactly what every property was worth. We are so happy with our purchase and it was all due to Amy's great guidance. We couldn't recommend Amy enough. She made the process so amazing.
