Ilona was very helpful and followed up well. She had contacts with contractors to help with things that needed to get done. Closed with no issues.

When I started looking into selling my house, I felt overwhelmed with the many decisions I was facing. Once I met with Ilona, I instantly felt reassured that she had my best intentions. Working with Ilona provided me with the piece of mind that is so important during the real estate process. She knew exactly what to do at every step of the process and gave me excellent guidance along the way. She remained confident when there were any challenges and always kept me on target and informed. I am so fortunate to call Ilona my realtor and have gained a long-time friend in the process.

BUYER

Ilona did a fantastic job understanding our preferences and helping us find the right home. She was thoughtful, caring, responsive and accommodating our needs and requests while also working with us throughout our search all the way through to our move into our place after closing. Would absolutely highly recommend working with her again.

BUYER

Ilona was wonderful and made the whole buying process smooth. She was really good at understanding exactly what our family needed and catered to our preferences and helped us find a great place in Livingston. I would highly recommend working with her.

SLAVA

We reached out to Ilona to help rent our apartment. We had already established a relationship with her when she helped us purchase this home. Immediately upon getting our request, Ilona jumped on the case. She scheduled a photo shoot for the place, wrote up the listing, set up partnerships with other agents for showings, etc. The whole process was extremely smooth and fast. The best thing about Ilona is that she will always tell you how it is so you get the best deal possible. She balanced our expectations with the reality of the market to land the best deal possible. She then held our hand through the negotiation of the lease and onboarding of the new tenants (this was our first landlord experience). There is a reason she is one of the best agents in New Jersey and I cannot recommend her enough!

OXANA

Ilona is a professional real estate agent. Prior to finding Ilona, we spent months without any progress. We were fortunate to have her as our agent. She guided and assisted us at every step of the process, promptly answering our calls and completing her work with speed and high quality. If you do not have your own lawyer, lender, or home inspector, Ilona will graciously provide you with contacts for the most experienced professionals. She is capable of handling the most complex situations and determining the best and right decision. Thanks to Ilona, we found our first dream home. If someone were to ask me what a real estate agent should be, I would confidently respond, "Someone like Ilona."

SELLER

My wife and I first met Ilona about 6 years ago when she had an open house for one of our neighbors. We were instantly impressed with her. Ilona truly cares about each family she represents and wants them to get the best return on probably their largest investment. Over the past 6 years, we spoke with Ilona on a regular basis. We thought we wanted to sell our house, but not until just recently did we put it on the market. Ilona always was a professional. When we finally decided to sell, she knew exactly who to contact, to declutter, pack, make repairs, paint and stage the house. Everyone she referred to us was also topnotch. I have used other realtors before, but clearly Ilona is the best realtor I have ever encountered.

Ilona is a wonderful realtor! You will not find a better prepared and practiced professional for your team. Ilona helped and guided me though all of the many details that went into the sale of my home. I highly recommend Ilona Berlaga for your next sale or purchase.

SELLER

Ilona succeeded where many others have failed. Her competence, and professionalism convinced us to allow her to sell our house, although it was not up for sale. She is both very knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic. She exceeded all of our expectations and we would not only recommend her without hesitation but would certainly look forward to working with her again.

KAREN

Selling a home can be stressful but not with Ilona! She is so hands on and knowledgeable she made selling our parents home easy. She treated us like family and was always available. Ilona always listened to us and applied her knowledge and expertise of the market to get us the price we wanted! In addition, she had all the resources available that are needed to sell a home making the process smooth. I want to sell another home just to get to work with Ilona again. Thanks Ilona!
