Nancy Chu Homes

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Claudia to purchase a multifamily property in Bergen County. She was tenacious in her efforts and really committed to finding us the right home. She was patient, kind, and down to earth in addition to teaching us a great deal. We told her exactly what we wanted (and we wanted a lot), and she helped us find the perfect home! We appreciated how clear her communication was and everyone that she put us in contact with was amazing and efficient. Thank you, Claudia and team, for making this home buying process as stress-free as possible!

Fantastic experience: Dear Melissa Maiorelli, We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your outstanding assistance in finding excellent tenants for our rental property in Gillette, NJ.

Your careful screening, communication, and guidance made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We are grateful for your efforts and expertise, and we truly appreciate the time and commitment you invested in helping us secure reliable tenants. It has been a pleasure working with you, and we would be happy to recommend your services to others seeking a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate professional.

Fantastic experience: I would like to share my outstanding experience working with Melissa during the process of renting a home in Gillette, NJ. From the very first day I met Melissa during the house showing, I immediately recognized qualities that are extremely important to me when doing business with someone: organization, discipline, professionalism, and strong attention to detail. Throughout the entire process, Melissa consistently demonstrated all of these attributes. She was always responsive to my questions, and when additional information was needed, she followed through diligently and provided updates exactly as committed. Her communication, accountability, and commitment to ensuring everything moved forward smoothly made the entire experience very positive. Once the landlord made the final decision, Melissa continued to manage every detail of the transition process. She carefully tracked all documentation requirements, facilitated communication with the landlord, and ensured that every step required for a smooth contract execution and move into my new home was properly planned and completed. What impressed me the most was not only her knowledge of real estate, but also her dedication to building trust and delivering excellent customer service. Melissa treats the process with professionalism and care, making you feel confident that every detail is being handled. Based on my personal experience renting a home in Gillette with Melissa’s support, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and committed real estate professional. Without hesitation, I will reach out to Melissa again for any future real estate investments or opportunities I pursue in New Jersey. Thank you, Melissa, for your professionalism, dedication, and exceptional support throughout this process.

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Melissa were above and beyond! I am a first time home buyer and their evidence-based approach to the process and insights into the local markets were such a big help. After stressful and confusing experiences with other realtors, here I felt 100% confident throughout and very well taken care of. Melissa was also a great advocate when it came to working with our sellers. I'll 100% coming back for Nancy and the team when it comes time to sell, and recommend Nancy Chu Homes for anyone doing real estate transactions in the area. Thanks so much for everything!

Fantastic experience: Nancy Chu and Team Changed Our Future Nancy, Raff, and everyone at Nancy's team are some of the best people I've ever met and an incredible resource you cannot go without in your real estate journey. I want to be vulnerable here so you understand where this sentiment comes from. Growing up, my family never had the resources to consider homeownership. I wasn't graced with the privileges many buyers have today. As a queer and trans family, I worked hard to raise myself and my family financially from the ground up with little support or resources. Finding Nancy Chu Homes was nothing short of a miracle for us. I started working with them at the start of the pandemic, when homeownership felt impossible for myself and for most millennials in this market. It's only gotten harder since then. Yet here I am today: I've sold my first home and purchased an upgraded property in prime Essex County all thanks to Nancy and her team. They guided me through my first purchase, the sale of that property, and the purchase of our next home. I have friends and family who, during this same timeframe with different agents, are STILL searching. They're dealing with endless open houses, sleepless nights, and debilitating uncertainty. In this fast-paced market with skyrocketing prices, it feels like running on a treadmill for many people. If you're feeling frustrated with no results, you've come to the right place with Nancy's team. They have decades of experience. Nancy is an absolute force to be reckoned with; while also being completely open-hearted, composed, transparent, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. From day one, we were embraced and supported without hesitation. Our circumstances were far from perfect, yet we managed to succeed along the way. The entire team worked day and night to get us to the finish line. They not only advocated for us and helped us find what we were looking for, but connected us with incredible professionals every step of the way (loan companies, landscapers, inspectors, and specialists for every complicated scenario that arose) But what truly sets them apart goes beyond real estate. When I became physically disabled and my family was struggling to make meals, Nancy's team organized meal trains for us. They were there for us at our lowest point in ways that even family and friends weren't. They did not have to do that. This kind of compassion and care is who they are at their core. The process could have been so much more stressful than what others experience, but I'm incredibly lucky to have had this team. I know we'll work with them for all our future real estate needs. They feel like family and community, and we are so grateful to have them.

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience working with Nancy and her team on the sale of our co-op. Despite a very cumbersome process, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable every step of the way. Their guidance, persistence, and attention made a complex and lengthy transaction feel manageable. We’re truly grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone for real estate transactions.

Fantastic experience: The whole team went beyond expectations. Stepped in doing beyond what was required to sell and get us to closing. Recommend them to anyone looking to sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Melissa and Nancy were amazing. After dealing with negative experiences with other realtors, working with them truly felt like a breath of fresh air. We had been searching for months, and within just two weeks of teaming up with them, we were already under contract. The entire process was smooth, supportive, and genuinely informative. They take their time to make sure you feel confident and well-informed as a buyer. We’ll definitely stick with them when it comes time to sell.

Fantastic experience: We had the best experience with Nancy and Melissa! They made the home buying process much less intimidating. As first time home buyers, we really appreciated the level of support they provided at every step. They were always available and super involved. It gave us so much peace of mind to have such a great team helping us navigate the home search. Their data driven approach made everything easier to understand and helped us determine the best strategy for our home search. They were lovely to work with, super personable, and very responsive to our many random questions. Nancy and Melissa made us feel more excited than stressed as we prepared for this new chapter and made our dreams come true way sooner than we thought it would happen!

Fantastic experience: Nancy is amazing, and got me way more than i expected on my home sale, AND a great price on my purchase!

Fantastic experience: Excellent realtors. Highly recommend! From navigating selling while buying, handling the unforseen, communication and help provided at every stage - Thank you Nancy, Raf, Linda and the team - you were amazing.

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of being invited to a Buyer’s Bootcamp hosted by the Nancy Chu Homes team, and it was such a valuable experience. The event was informative, well put together, and really gave us a lot of insight into the home buying process. You can immediately tell when a team truly cares about people and their needs, and that’s exactly the impression we got. Thank you, Nancy and the entire NCH team, for your time and effort; we left feeling more prepared and supported in our future home buying journey. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent and informative Bootcamp. Thank you Nancy Chu Homes and Team. She even had a Mortgage lender on site to explain the process of securing loans. Outstanding.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nancy Chu Homes was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate every step of the real estate process. Whether it was answering my questions, offering expert guidance, or going the extra mile to ensure a smooth transaction, they exceeded my expectations in every way. I felt supported, informed, and confident throughout—and that’s a rare feeling in today’s market. If you’re looking for a group that combines professionalism with a personal touch, I wholeheartedly recommend Nancy Chu Homes. They truly care about their clients and it shows.

My experience with both Nancy and Melissa was they are both very passionate about their career in real estate……you can’t go wrong with these fine ladies, sincerely Joseph J. Corrado.

Fantastic experience: Gaelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was professional, responsive, and diligent in every aspect of our process. On top of that she was personable and lovely. I am more than satisfied with our experience with her. She went above and beyond, any one would be happy to have her assist you in your new home journey.

Fantastic experience: We kept hearing how tough the market was and how impossible it would be to buy a house. But the truth is, most people are just missing one thing: Nancy. She and Raf are the dream team. They helped us craft the most compelling offer, and it worked - our very first bid was accepted. In Montclair, no less. Their strategy, guidance, and support were unmatched. If you're buying a home, don't waste time.. work with Nancy and Raf. They made what felt impossible feel easy.

Fantastic experience: NANCY IS THE BEST IN THE AREA. We had an amazing experience working with Nancy Chu as our realtor. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and helped us craft a smart, competitive offer that ultimately got us the house we wanted. From our first visit to closing, she guided us through the entire process in just five weeks and never missed a beat. Nancy constantly checked in on us, made sure we felt supported, and always had our best interest in mind. Her professionalism and calm confidence made a typically stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in New Jersey.

Fantastic experience: My home buying experience was nothing short of perfect with Nancy Chu homes. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough positive things about the team at Nancy Chu Homes in Montclair, NJ! From the very beginning, my wife and I felt completely supported as we embarked on the journey to find our new home. Nancy, Raf and team were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire process feel seamless. They took the time to understand our needs and never once made us feel like we wouldn’t find the perfect place. Every step of the way, they walked us through each stage of the process with patience and care, ensuring that we felt informed and confident in our decisions. Their professionalism and commitment to our satisfaction were evident throughout, and we are so grateful for their dedication. Thanks to their hard work, we’re now in our dream home! I highly recommend Nancy Chu Homes to anyone looking for a truly personalized and stress-free real estate experience.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Nancy Chu Homes! Imagine finding our next dream house after forty four years in our first home! Nancy and Raf were with us every step of the way! Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Working with Nancy and her team was a fantastic experience! Nancy is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and proactive in finding solutions that benefit all parties involved. Her team is equally efficient and professional, making the entire collaboration seamless and enjoyable. I would gladly work with Nancy and her team again and highly recommend them to anyone in the industry. They’re a pleasure to partner with!

Fantastic experience: There are so many good things to say about our experiences of buying and selling a home with Nancy Chu that I’m not sure which one to start with. We first met Nancy through a recommendation of a friend, which says a lot. We bought our home with her about 5 years ago. She artfully negotiated the purchasing price down, owing to extensive repair work needed. Five years and a different housing market altogether, Nancy very strategically set the asking price of our house, when we put it on the market, to encourage market engagement, and boy did we get it! Leading up to the open house, we needed a little bit of staging, so she and her team completely arranged it. She had multiple team members supporting the open house to ensure all prospective buyers’ questions would be answered. After the open house, Nancy helped get the best offer for us. We had numerous offers, quite a few that were all cash. While this has a lot to do with the house, location, and market, it was clear that Nancy knew how to price the house to generate this interest, and that she had the experience to advocate for our interests and successfully negotiate with the various buyers. She even made sure we had a backup offer just in case. Her team ensured a smooth closing by arranging the CoO with the town AND found a home for a piano. Nancy has tons of experience, is savvy, smart, and is an incredibly capable and competent agent. Her team is staffed with knowledgable, hard working professionals who have high standards. I’m so glad we worked with Nancy because selling our house with her was flawless.

Fantastic experience: We had the most seamless experience buying our first home just by onboarding Nancy and Raf and their extended team of trusted advisors! We are so grateful for their attention to detail, collaboration and communication skills, and their integrity.

Fantastic experience: I would like to share this review with fellow home buyers. I received excellent service from Nancy Chu Homes. Their helpful, thoughtful consideration to my needs has allow me to buy a home for my retirement years. My Nancy Chu realtor Gaelle Remy worked proficiently, professionally, persistently during this buyers market, I was being consistently outbidded, but I was provided with positive assurance, helpful suggestions and her valuable experience for the next prospective home. Gaelle Remy provided me multiple listings that finally narrow down my search, saving me time. The final purchase paperwork went surprisingly smooth and quickly. Overall Nancy Chu Homes was a positive experience which I highly recommend to family and friends. Thank you Gaelle Remy!

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Raf helped me find my first townhome back in 2015, and just recently had the pleasure of finding our new home. Always a wonderful experience with Nancy and her team! Very professional, easy to work with and full of knowledge!! Could not have asked for a better agent on our side!! We are so grateful on another successful home search! Highly recommend Nancy Chu Homes! Thank you everyone for all your hard work!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and understands our needs and advantages to help with buying and selling homes.

Fantastic experience: Gaelle was wonderful and led me through buying my first home seamlessly! Loved working with her, she answered all my questions and provided endless contacts for our housing needs. Highly Recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, sold property very rapidly for a good price. Stepped up when necessary to ensure closing on time. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Raf are the dream team!!! Super down to earth and on top of each step of the process. Husband and wife working in unison to make my purchase seamless. A million thanks to Nancy Chu and her team!!!

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Raf are amazing realtors. They helped us sell our invetsment property in Nutley in record time. They helped us stage the house and took care od everything!!

Fantastic experience: We would give Nancy Chu homes 100 stars if we could. We recently worked with Vishal, Linda, and Nancy to help sell our existing home and purchase our new one. This was our second time working with Nancy and team (the first time we were first time home buyers), and there’s no other realty team we’d consider for the buying/selling process. They were right there with us every single step of the way- offering invaluable guidance, advice, and insight to help make a typically hectic experience smooth and less stressful. They are without a doubt the TRUE experts and professionals within this industry. We knew we were in great hands throughout the entire process; and Linda especially helped to seamlessly manage all of the hundreds of details and steps that are involved in buying and selling a home. They knew the right strategies to help sell and buy in the most optimal ways, and kept consistent communication throughout to ensure we were always on the same page. We couldn’t have done it without them, and we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. Thank you to Nancy & team for another success story, and for all of the wonderful ways you have guided us from beginning to end. Our experience was once again unparalleled and we will continue to recommend you to anyone we can.

Fantastic experience: We recently bought a house and our realtor agent was Maureen Kaloudis. She was always there for us. She gave us great advice and walked us through the entire process. Everything went smooth and we couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Maureen Kaloudis and the Nancy Chu team when we were looking for our first house in Essex County, NJ and they were amazing! Knowledgeable, responsive and helpful, without ever being pushy. Maureen in particular was an all star, always available to answer our questions and reassure us through the difficulty process of hunting for a home in the 2023 housing market. An excellent experience and we remain grateful for all the help we received in finding our first home with Maureen and the rest of the Nancy Chu team.

Fantastic experience: As a first time home buyer, there were a lot of questions I had about the process and they were all answered with the help of my realtor Reggie Clay. He is truly outstanding in what he does. He helped make the process as smooth as possible for me, was patient as well as very engaging and attentive. Going over numbers was simplified as well which I appreciated. He broke every aspect of the process down in a clear and concise manner. If I had a random question that popped into my head, I’d call and would hear back from him fairly quickly. He was recommended to me and I see why. If you’re looking for a new home I’d highly suggest seeking out Mr. Reggie Clay.

Fantastic experience: Maureen was great with helping us find a new home for our family as well as renting our other property!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and realtor references are great, thanks so much Nancy

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Raf greatly simplified what was expected to be an extremely complicated journey.

Fantastic experience: Nancy and her team Maureen & Raf were fantastic working together to sell our house. True professionals!! Provided excellent advice. Thanks Nancy, will certainly recommend friends and family to contact you for Real Estate help.

Fantastic experience: Nancy Chu presented a wonderful real estate class today. Going over the seller and buyer objections. Described the market and brought in experts to help explain what is going on and how to talk about it with your clients.

Fantastic experience: Knowledge is key! Nancy was Phenomenal and detail in all her teaching, sharing gems and powerful tools on how to win listings and Buyer’s offers.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful learning day with Nancy. Love it!!!

Fantastic experience: A ton of great information presented very well!! Nancy is an amazing speaker with terrific market insight.

Fantastic experience: On this journey of selling my home, Nancy Chu Homes and all associated with this business demonstrated compassion, consideration and patience. A practice of such qualities and characteristics benefits continued success of a Business. I am extremely pleased.

Fantastic experience: With my sister’s passing, I had to sell her home in NJ while residing in upstate NY. Fortunately, Nancy Chu and her team were recommended highly, and I was able to meet Nancy and her husband Raf Ricci at the house during a very short visit. After discussing the condition of the house and the local market, I had total confidence that I wanted them to handle the sale. They are genuinely nice people who care about you and want the best for you. We never interacted in person again but Nancy and Raf communicated with me frequently with updates and shared decisions. Ultimately, the house sold at a great price. In summary, I truly felt that I had 2 friends who acted on my behalf throughout the process. I cannot recommend Nancy Chu, Raf Ricci and their team more highly.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Nancy Zerin since spring of 2022 and she has been a big help in closing on a home.I was in the market in spring and then took a break to look into places again in fall. She understood my needs and was helpful in finding the right places to tour for me. The hand holding she did for me made me call her my “real estate mom”. She was always there to answer all the questions/concerns I had, go extra mile in researching about the place and was top of the game on the next steps. She has been very patient with me given I was a novice and was trying to find my way around. She also helped me with finding all help post putting an offer with respect to banker, contractors, attorneys and who were always there as she was during the process. I would recommend Nancy to anyone looking for homes with not a complete picture of how it would unfold. Thanks Nancy for everything!

Fantastic experience: Carissa was professional, responsive and resourceful. She went out of her way to answer any questions we had during our home search. We appreciated her patience throughout the whole process. Thank you Carissa! - Doug & Joelle

Fantastic experience: Gaelle was an amazing realtor! She was super helpful throughout the process and went above and beyond to meet inspectors when I was not available. Thanks for making this process super easy and I’ll be reaching out on the next! - Gary

Fantastic experience: Carissa was great ! She will help you find your perfect home

Fantastic experience: Maureen was phenomenal! We had a time crunch with a few different requests, and she not only got it in our time frame, but it is the most perfect house for us and our dogs. She was always available for us and so kind. Highly recommend using her for your relator needs!!

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Raf have made our lives what they are today. Eleven years ago, they helped us find the PERFECT home. Five years ago, they found the perfect space for my new business. Today, I signed a lease on a new space to grown that business in. Apart from being great at what they do, they are two of the finest, most considerate people you could ever be lucky enough to know. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Vishal was truly a pleasure to work with. He was very honest with us in considering our needs, both in telling us what is realistic, but also respectful of our time by not showing us houses that did not fit our needs. As first-time home buyers, we had many questions, and Vishal was always super easy to reach, very responsive, and provided knowledgable and insightful information, certainly making the whole process much less stressful. Vishal is always thinking several steps ahead, which was exemplified during our home inspection. As soon as he heard that our inspection did not include a tank sweep or sewer inspection, he immediately made some calls and had those inspections booked in under 10 minutes. Most importantly, there was no pressure. It was more important to Vishal that we ended up in the right house at a fair and reasonable price, rather than just make a sale. It is this attitude that makes us highly recommend his services to anybody. We were truly grateful to have worked with him.

Fantastic experience: I am a real estate attorney and work with hundreds of agents per year. Nancy is excellent to work with - her team is thorough and responsive; they are great with follow-up and have no problem making calls / showing up to get to the bottom of any issues which may arise. She is very clearly dedicated to her clients, and I would highly recommend her when selling or buying a home.

Fantastic experience: I am a real estate agent in North Carolina and I had my mother living in NJ (West Orange) who needed to sell her home. My mother initially hired a realtor who didn't do the best job of pricing and marketing her home. After not selling her home the first time my mother and I were lucky to meet Nancy Chu who did a phenomenal job of selling my mother's home quickly and for top dollar. As a realtor I know it is not easy to come in and replace another realtor when a property already has been sitting on the market and does not sell but Nancy came in with her team, did her staging, took great photos and got my mother's home sold for OVER asking price at a price HIGHER than what the first realtor suggested! Who you work with matters! My mother was very happy to finally be able to sell her home. Nancy and her team made the sale very smooth from start to finish. If you are looking for a fantastic realtor my mother (Gladys) and I both highly recommend Nancy and her team of real estate professionals. Thanks again Nancy! -Christian

Fantastic experience: Words cannot express the gratitude my wife and I have for Nancy and Raf. We were moving from the west coast and my wife flew over to look at houses for a few days. After a bad experience with another realtor, we called Nancy and Raf who quickly dropped everything and took care of us despite it being a holiday. We quickly found a house and they worked with us to help get our offer accepted. Nancy and Raf did their best to ensure we had a smooth process even with difficulties from the other side. Through every bump in the road, they were there to settle us down and provide solutions. Nancy and Raf even helped us after the sale recommending local services. On top of their professionalism, they are also a joy to communicate with and very personable. I have dealt with many realtors in the past and these two are as genuine as they come. If you want to buy or sell a house from real people who actually care, look no further!
