We’ve had the pleasure of working with Rob Van Der Wende & Alexa Benavente, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Rob helped us buy our first home 7 years ago, so when it came time to move, we knew exactly who to call. I’ve always appreciated how Rob keeps in touch over the years and hosts fun events for past and current clients—it shows how much he values these relationships. From the start, Rob and Alexa sat down with us in person to talk through how we could get the most money for our house while also finding a new home that fit our budget and all our must-haves. Their expert guidance on staging, combined with beautiful professional photos and videos, made our home stand out in the market. Their knowledge of the North Jersey market is outstanding. They’re proactive, responsive, and incredibly accommodating—with the patience of saints while we had our two young kids tagging along at showings! Their strategy worked beautifully: we sold our home for $100K over asking, and the very first offer we put in on our new home was accepted. They guided us through inspections and every step of the process, always looking out for our best interests and never pressuring us. Rob’s calm demeanor made everything feel less stressful, while Alexa’s energy kept us excited and reminded us of the fun side of finding a new home. We fully trust them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this dynamic duo to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in the area.

Rob and Alexa were a fantastic team in selling my condo. From the very beginning, they explained the process clearly, photographed the condo with incredible attention to detail, and offered thoughtful staging suggestions. They worked quickly to get the listing live and scheduled an Open House right away. What stood out most was that Rob went above and beyond; he not only guided me through the sale of my condo but also answered questions I had about the new property I was purchasing, even though it wasn’t his listing. His organization, efficiency, and calm presence made a sometimes-challenging process so much easier, especially since it had been decades since I last sold a property. Whenever concerns came up, he was the voice of reason and always put me at ease. Thanks to Rob and Alexa’s hard work, my condo sold quickly and over asking price. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend them; you won’t be disappointed. In fact, they’ll exceed your expectations!

Rob and Alexa are experts in their field. They know a ton about the home buying process and were always educating my wife and I about what to look for in the different homes we viewed. They really put in the legwork and made the most stressful time in our lives much easier (and even enjoyable!). They are consummate professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house. If we ever have to buy again, they will be the first call we make!

Dear Rob & Alexa, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your outstanding work throughout the recent purchase of my new home. Your dedication, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the market were invaluable throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth. I especially appreciated your patience, ability to negotiate effectively, and expertise in finding the perfect property. My kids and I are thrilled with our new home and couldn't have done it without your guidance. Thank you again for everything! Sincerely, Gehan
