Through the next few decades she and her husband John gravitated toward refurbishing homes and selling them for a profit. Although Maryanne was licensed in 1985, it would be years before she decided to become a full time Realtor. Now, this Coldwell Banker agent uses Maryanne Elsaesser her expertise to help others. “I serve others,” she summarizes. “My philosophy is that when you serve others needs first, you get paid really well. I raise the bar and really try to exceed my clients’ expectations. Everyone deserves to walk away feeling as though they got the better end of the deal.” Maryanne’s experience allows her to give her clients expert advice about how best to make their properties marketable to the most people. She works with a professional photographer and a skilled stager/decorator from Wyckoff: Susan Farcy. Maryanne notes that photos are critical because so many prospective buyers are now researching homes on the Internet, and a poorly photographed home could get scratched off the list of homes to visit. “The first few weeks a house is on the market are so significant,” she adds. “Creating excitement about a new property is what will drive the traffic, and that traffic cultivates the offers.” Maryanne’s stager provides home sellers with a list of items that need to be accomplished, including de-cluttering rooms or repositioning furniture to improve the perception of space and flow. Originally from Clifton, Maryanne has been living in Bergen County for 25 years, and currently resides in Wyckoff. She is an active volunteer in her community, and is now working on a new endeavor to encourage people to shop locally.
