As an “Outlier” who grew up in the Real Estate business, Sue has proven that it’s possible to start over in any market and succeed. She was formerly the #2 Re/Max agent in PA before moving up to Short Hills NJ and starting over in 2004. As a partner in the Keller Williams Short Hills, Summit, Chatham and Livingston offices, she quickly turned what was once “Sue Who? and “Keller Who?” into household names in the NJ Midtown Direct real estate community.
The Sue Adler Team has been the #1 Keller Williams Team in NJ for dollar volume every year since 2005 – and is consistently one of the top KW teams in the country (we are helping on average 200 families a year buy or sell homes when the average agent sells only 8-10 houses a year!)
It’s scary to admit this, but I’ve been selling real estate for 30+ years! I also grew up in the business. My father owned the top real estate office in our area, so I learned from the best. Even after selling over 4,000 homes in my career, I still love what I do, I’m extremely hands-on at a very high level, and can’t imagine doing anything else.
How do we do this and create a great overall consumer experience?
I have hired a team of specialists, strategists and consultants to ensure that our clients receive the highest caliber of service imaginable in the industry. Because we’re one of the highest producing teams in the country, our team attracts talent, and we are excited to get to work for you as your trusted advisors.
