Villadom TIMES Sales Representative Kim Post K McBride Agency cBride Agency recognizes that 85% of the homebuyers now start their search on the Internet. In keeping with the times, McBride now advertises its homes 24/7 on the Internet using 22 major websites including Wall Street Journal, New York Times Great Homes, Luxury Real Estate.com and Unique Homes. McBride Agency is currently under the leadership of President and Broker of Record W. Peter McBride and Broker/Manager Gregory Earnshaw. McBride reports that in 2013 McBride Agency markets homes in multiple counties, including Bergen, Passaic, Morris, and Sussex. Earnshaw attributes their success to the enthusiasm and dedication of their 25 experienced sales agents. “We have always been a family business and we encourage our sales agents to work together and support one another,” says McBride. Earnshaw says they have only top-professional, experienced agents in their office. “We are not interested in ‘showing off’ an army of brokers for the sake of numbers like some of the bigger companies,” he explains. Earnshaw emphasizes the accomplished McBride Agency team is armed with cutting-edge technology and plugged into local, national, and even international residential real estate resources. Without doubt, McBride Agency put Franklin Lakes on the map as the first to market Urban Farms Inc. properties. That corporation was established in 1959. Urban Farms began as the vision of the late J. Nevins McBride, Peter’s father, a pioneer in many facets of the real estate industry, including the development of major corporate and industrial parks in Bergen and Passaic counties. McBride Agency Realtors office resides at the Van Blarcom House, a pre-Revolutionary War Dutch Colonial at 834 Franklin Lake Road in Franklin Lakes. McBride Agency Realtors is a member of “Who’s Who M “The McBride Team opening the finest doors in Northern New Jersey for over 50 years” in Luxury Real Estate,” the international organization for select, high-end brokers. “We have a reputation for professionalism that we uphold very vigorously,” Earnshaw points out. “We are not all things to all people, but we are everything to the luxury home market.” Peter McBride adds, “Our brokers work together as a team, there’s a kinship almost like a family business setting. They really work at knowing the listings in every detail and it shows.” Call (201) 891-8900. Visit online at mcbrideagency.com.
