"Ryan Bruen is an outstanding professional in the real estate industry. My experience working with Ryan confirmed that it is possible to set a high bar and overachieve it! He puts his clients first in words and actions. Ryan was always available and responsive in my recent real estate transaction and his insights and suggestions on how to get the best outcome were exceptional. It is a pleasure to recommend Ryan, whether purchasing or selling property."
-Michael Weir, Client
"Debbie was the best! She is not only extremely knowledgeable, but is diligent and patient. She helped us sort our exactly what we were looking for and then had the market knowledge and savvy to help us close the deal! She was an excellent and reliable source for locating the best contractors. As a result, the renovation on our new home exceeded all expectations!"
-Paula Barber, Client
"The Bruens were an excellent resource as we went through the process of selling our first home. They broadly marketed our home and we sold for over asking price in under a week. They were on top of every aspect of the deal from the contract to inspection to closing and were always available with any questions we had and with spot on advice. I would not hesitate to recommend The Bruen Team for anyone looking to sell their home or buy a new one. First rate all the way!"
-Abe Froman, Client
"Deborah and Ryan made recommendations on how to make our home attractive to prospective buyers before we listed the house. We also had a pre-inspection done. The Bruens were able to recommend repairmen that could help us with the inspector's findings. Once listed, our home was scheduled for an open house every Sunday until the house was sold. More than one buyer was interested in our home and the price we received was close to the listing price recommended by The Bruens. I would highly recommend Debbie and Ryan to anyone who wants to sell their home in Northern New Jersey."
-Betty Cariello, Client
"Debbie was a joy to work with through what is often a trying process. We found her to be a great listener, understanding our critical issues, and an advocate on our behalf. Further, she handled a number of complexities associated with our relocation effectively without complaint, stepping up and handling a litany of things beyond her responsibilities following our departure from New Jersey. She provided excellent service, going above and beyond in every component of the transaction. We would gladly work with her again."
-Christian Colo, Client
"Debbie & Ryan did an outstanding job during our home buying and selling process. They were both incredibly responsive and was always willing to help. Both are very knowledgeable on both the selling and buying side of the house. Debbie & Ryan are also a joy to be around during a stressful time in one's life so they were the right team for the job! Thank you!!!"
-Megan Goscinski, Client
"Debbie Bruen exceeded our expectations as to the level of service she provided. We had three offers on our home the first day it was on the market, and it was due to the fact that Debbie knew our market area and priced our home perfectly. When we first me with Debbie, there was NO drama about how much work our house needed or what improvements we needed to make. She was encouraging and available to answer our multitude of questions. When we were looking for a new home out of the area, she was gracious in giving us contact information for a broker in that area. However, we ended up purchasing a home through Debbie as well. We still call her from time to time with questions."
-Michele Wainschel, Client
"Ryan is a tremendous Realtor; very informed, well connected, available all hours, follows up and never spares any effort to get the deal done! A terrific guy! His smile is contagious!"
-Silviu Herscher, Client
"Debbie was very helpful, extremely friendly and on point! She gave great advice and would highly recommend her and her team to anyone! She knows the area so well and the house had multiple offers in only a few days."
-Anonymous Seller, Client
"We can not say enough good things about Debbie Bruen. We so lucked out the day we met her at an open house in our neighborhood. She was informative, but never pushed in those early days. We ended up with 'challenging' buyers, as well as a situation with our township that we could not have gotten through without Debbie's persistence, expertise, and patience. If we needed a referral - from painters to excavators to plumbers to attorneys - she was right there for us. We ended up having to leave the state before our closing and don't know what we would have done without her help with utilities and especially the final walk-through. We sold quickly because of her marketing expertise and her intuitive pricing. I could go on and on and on - she is the best!"
-Daniel Burns, Client
"We had the most amazing experience working with Ryan. He was professional, responsive, highly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The Bruen Team is highly respected and for great reason. Excellent quality of service. Highly recommend!"
-Martin Bryan, Client
"Ryan & Debbie are a professional team of pure potentiality who remain open to all the possibilities. They were always there for us throughout the winding selling process while providing spontaneous solutions when needed. Job well done. I am so glad to have recommended them to my daughter and son-in-law."
-Guiti Amirnazmi, Client
"I would highly recommend Debbie. She has a lot of expertise, very knowledgeable, and very responsive to all my questions and needs. She was great to work with for a home sale and a purchase!"
-Laurie Ebner-Lyon, Client
"When we met Debbie & Ryan (2018) we had not committed to sell, but she gave us her time and input. It took us at least a year to list. During that time she and Ryan provided valuable input and suggested recommendations that would enhance our home's value and its marketability. She was even able to refer us to what turned out to be reliable contractors, who did great work, quickly and at reasonable prices. After we listed, Debbie & Ryan were on top of everything; keeping us informed and most importantly - calm. Our home was listed after we moved out of state. "Things," owner responsible things, would pop up and Debbie handled them for us. She was a life saver. We sold and closed with a good price, painlessly. Don't select a realtor without talking to Debbie & Ryan Bruen."
-Frederick Jilleba, Client
"Debbie was very helpful and knowledgeable in finding us a home in an area that we were not familiar with. We always felt comfortable asking her for advice and she was always highly responsive and willing to help.
My husband and I both think she is wonderful to work with whether you are looking to buy or sell a home."
-Debbie Malafatopoulos, Client
"The best decision my wife and I made in this 2-year process (after reaching an impasse with our prior broker) was picking up the phone and calling Ryan. He listened well, sounded knowledgeable, competent, hard working, high energy, sincere and easy to talk to.
He delivered on all of that... and much more! He conducted himself with the highest degree of integrity while standing by our side offering straight forward advice and fighting for us right up until the papers were signed... and actually well beyond that.
Ryan never once made us fell like he was doing this for a sale or for the money. He always made us feel like we had a family member or close friend and advocate at our side."
-Mitchell Rubenstein, Client
"Ryan was always professional. I chose their group to help sell my home because I had seen their excellent work in selling homes in the community. When I had the initial meeting with Ryan, he explained the process for marketing the home; this explanation made it clear to me why the group is so successful in home sales in the area. They work very hard to advertise their homes through both digital marketing and more traditional means, like mailings and networking. Ryan helped us time the roll out of the listing to best facilitate advertising and to coordinate with the interest in the market, and our home was wrapped up with potential buyers and went under contract over asking price with multiple offers after the first weekend it was listed. There are always multiple factors, like the market in general and the house in particular, but Deb and Ryan work hard to make the very most of the potential in the market and your particular home."
-Christine Pettus, Client
"Ryan and his team did a fantastic job marketing our home. His strategic use of multiple websites to showcase our home led to multiple offers all above asking price. He was also a great help in negotiating and closing the purchase of our new home. He and his team are attentive, helpful, and a terrific advocate for their clients. I couldn't more highly recommend The Bruen Team in representing anyone in the sale or purchase of their home."
