Barbara Montone

We were referred to Barbara Montone by neighbors who highly recommended her after a successful sale last year, noting she had expertly handled multiple transactions for them. They described her as "the best realtor on the barrier island," and within minutes of our initial meeting, it was clear they were right. Barb is a true expert. Her professionalism is backed by an impressive depth of market knowledge; she routinely cited past and present listings, accurately forecasting potential pitfalls and paths to success. What truly sets Barb apart is her dedication. She treated our home as if it were her own, personally attending every single showing—despite the presence of a lockbox—to ensure our property’s unique benefits were highlighted and questions were answered accurately. Furthermore, she masterfully balanced communications between various brokers and our attorney. Her strategic mindset was on full display when a challenging request came from the buyers. While our initial reaction was to refuse, Barb called us immediately to calmly explain the bigger picture and the strategic value of compromising, which ultimately kept the deal on track. We could not have asked for a better partner than Barbara.

It was a pleasure working with Barbara. She was always available and answered any questions promptly. Barbara is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. She worked well with everyone involved in our transactions. She stayed on top of everything and communication was perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to use Barbara again and highly recommend her.

We have purchased 3 homes and had the pleasure to meet many real estate personal but none of them can compare to Barbara. She was the one that was the most knowledgeable of all the rules and fees and construction restrictions in Toms River shore points. We never felt any pressure in the purchase or closing. Barbara helped give us many options for the properties. We would definitely recommend her to any one interested in a shore purchase.

Barbara is, hands down the best. She’s attentive, thorough and knows the shore market. If you’re thinking of buying or selling, you won’t find someone better to help you.

Barbara is a great person to work with personally and professionally who has her pulse on the market and the knowledge to get the results you are looking for. Barbara has sold two homes for us and l would recommend her to anyone. She works with great people through her connections.

Superior service, everything we needed to help us.
