My wife and I recently relocated to Somerset County and selected Mary Jane and Turpin Realtors to represent us in our search for our new home. We could not have been more pleased with the result. The service and expertise provided by Mary Jane and her team was second to none. Mary Jane was able to quickly identify and more importantly help us indentify the most important qualities we were looking for in our new home. She focused our search on homes she knew were within our parameters and helped us successfully navigate a complicated negotiation process. In addition, since my wife and I lived out of town, Mary Jane took it upon herself to manage many aspects of the closing process including things such as the inspection, the mortgage and insurance appraisals as well as many other closing requirements. Mary Jane is a true professional in every sense of the word and we would recommend Mary Jane and Turpin Realtors without any reservation to anyone embarking on the always stressful process of buying or selling a home.

As a further note I have been a real estate broker for over 25 years. I have owned my own brokerage company and I am now an executive with one of the largest firms in the New York metropolitan area. When I hire a broker I look for the obvious attributes: a nice demeanor, local knowledge, and good sales techniques. While I can say that you have all of those essentials I would like to also add that you possess the something much more important; competence. Frankly what is most important to me both as a customer and also as an employer is a broker who knows what she is doing and who can get the job done properly and efficiently. You possess those skills so congratulations. William S. Ross Director of Development Marketing Halstead Properties - William S. Ross 2010-01-27

From the time I began working with Mary Jane Benedetto, I knew I had found a professional that put my interests and needs first. Even as my search took me in different directions, Mary Jane adapted to these changes and made sure she kept me moving in the right direction. Once the decision was made, the negotiating, contracting, and closing procedures were seamless, and she was there to assist every step of the way. Mary Jane knows the marketplace, but more importantly, she gets to know her clients and understands their needs. She's a true professional and a terrific person that you can trust to help with one of the most important decisions and purchases you'll make." - Thomas K.

"After a difficult personal period that resulted in the sale of my home, I chose Turpin and met Mary Jane Benedetto. She was professional, committed, and knowledgeable about the market and what was needed to get my home sold. I felt that I was her only customer-not so-but she made me feel that way." - Thomas Curtin, Attorney at Law, Graham Curtin - Thomas Curtin 2010-06-09

"I worked with Mary Jane on a difficult closing for my client who had sabotaged two of their previous deals with another broker. Mary Jane was incredibly professional and kept the closing process moving smoothly. This challenging closing was made even more difficult as the Seller had already relocated to another state. Mary Jane followed through on the negotiations including the home inspection items and personally handled addressing the needed repairs. Her years of being a business woman were evident and no task was too small for her to tackle. Because of her efforts, the end result was a timely closing." - Mary Elizabeth Warner, Esq., Real Estate Attorney - Mary Elizabeth Warner 2009-06-10
