Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate Inc.

Ellen and her son David were great. We were able to purchase our home in the neighborhood we really wanted to live. Ellen sends you listings to review daily, so you always know about new listings.
Ellen checked in with us often. She also worked with the realtor who was selling our home. The experience was positive and we highly recommend this agency.

David and Ellen are the only team I’d recommend working with for your real estate needs! From our initial phone call together, I can tell they had our best interest at heart. We primarily went house hunting with David and his knowledge and experience superseded our expectations. He was so helpful and thorough during tours of prospective homes and it really helped us make the most informed decision possible. As first time home buyers, there is so much we didn’t know, and David was so patient and made us comfortable enough to ask the questions, give us honest feedback and ultimately we found our first family home! We cannot thank David and Ellen enough for their support and expertise and would suggest anyone looking to buy or sell their home to work with them!

We have been in the real estate business for over 30 years. The service provided by Ellen and David and their agents to their clients is incomparable. They are very hands on and make each step of the buying and selling process seamless. Buying or selling a home are two of the most significant transactions most people will make in their lifetime and Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate is the office to trust with all of your real estate needs.

David did an amazing job with helping us close on a house in a difficult market. He was always on top of it and was quick to address any and all questions that we had. Another great thing about David is that he works with an amazing team and has excellent referrals when it comes to doing various things. He’s like a walking yellow book yet he’s very transparent and won’t sugarcoat anything. You can trust that you’ll be in good hands with David!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Ellen for the sale of our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Ellen's professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free.

Ellen demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the local market, providing us with a comprehensive analysis and expert advice on pricing our home. Her attention to detail was evident in the way she highlighted the unique features and qualities of our property, creating a compelling listing that attracted a wide range of potential buyers.

Throughout the entire process, Ellen maintained excellent communication, promptly answering our questions and keeping us informed about every development. She was always available, accommodating our schedule for showings and providing valuable feedback after each viewing. Her exceptional negotiation skills ensured that we received the best possible offers and favorable terms.

What truly set Ellen apart was her genuine commitment to our best interests. She consistently went above and beyond to make the entire experience as smooth as possible. From recommending skilled professionals for repairs and staging to overseeing the entire closing process, she was with us every step of the way, ensuring that everything was executed flawlessly.

Thanks to Ellen's hard work and expertise, our home sold quickly and at a price that exceeded our expectations. Her professionalism, integrity, and dedication to her clients make her an outstanding realtor who we would highly recommend to anyone in need of a trusted real estate agent.

We are incredibly grateful for Ellen's efforts and the exceptional service she provided. Selling a home can be a daunting task, but with her guidance, it became a rewarding and successful experience.

David was a pleasure to work with. I appreciated his overall knowledge of the real estate market but more so his technical understanding of the house systems and upgrades, which allowed him to market those improvements better. David made selling the house surprisingly easy and provided the right amount of guidance and motivation to properly prepare the house for sale. David is always responsive and stayed involved throughout the entire process. David also had a great team of people who helped tremendously, special thanks to Graziella and Gina.

I cannot say enough about how courteous and professional Ellen, David, and Gina were during the process of selling our home. The knowledge that they brought to the table was truly impressive. Within days of having our home listed and shown we were under contract with an offer substantially over our asking price. Selling your home is at times stressful. Ellen and her staff were always willing and able to take our questions and concerns and work to provide us with the best possible answers and options. I can't imagine anyone providing you better service in the sale or buying of a home than Ellen and the people at Ellen Rosenbaum.

Buying and selling a house is difficult enough, buying and selling your parents home when they are not thrilled about the idea of moving is even more difficult. Ellen and David were the perfect team for us. David worked with my husband and myself to guide us through the process and to ensure that we were able to find and buy the perfect house for our parents health and happiness. Ellen worked with my in-laws to make sure that they were comfortable with the sale and to support them through a very emotional process. We went from "we will never move" to being completely moved into a new home within 6 months, and that never would have been possible with the Rosenbaum team. Each one of them played a role in making this transition a success. We cannot thank them enough for helping our family through this, they took care of us not only financially but emotionally and you cannot ask for more from a realtor.

I was incredibly pleased with all aspects of the sale of my home with David Rosenbaum and his team. With effective marketing, including video, the house was under contract within 6 days of listing in the middle of COVID 19 and snowstorms. Even though the house was sold by one of his associates, I felt I had the proper independent guidance during the negotiations. Since I had moved overseas, David took care of the home inspection. He went over and above, after the sale was closed to assist with a repair for a final escrow item. With correct pricing and lower commission, I was able to maximize the net proceeds from the sale. I highly recommend using David Rosenbaum for your real estate sale needs.

David Rosenbaum is one of a kind. We've dubbed him the "Morganville Miracle Man", and if you've had the pleasure of working with him, you know what I'm talking about. If you are looking for a home anywhere near Monmouth County, look no further.

David is not only a real estate agent, he worked as an engineer for years (me being an engineer also, I naturally gravitated toward him). David takes this experience to the next level, offering advice, pointing out potential problems or demonstrating how well built a home is, all from an engineer's perspective. His knowledge of residential construction in the area over the last 50 or so years is impressive. This talent of his was crucial in buying a home in this insanely aggressive market. In order to even have our offers considered, we needed to wave the home inspection. My wife and I found ourselves completely comfortable doing this because David was always able to not only provide the peace of mind a home inspector could offer, but also give us realistic estimates of how much money certain things that needed fixing would cost, so we could take that into account with our offer.

David is an absolute joy to work with. His energy and sense of humor are perfect for this business. I never once felt pressure from David to wave appraisals, home inspections, add a little more to my offer, etc. He would always provide practical advice for how to win a home while making my wife and I always feel completely in control. He would roll in any direction we wanted, and keep us as informed as possible to make sure we were making the right decision. Once we reached a point where we were ready to go "all in", David put his tenacity to work helping us go in "guns blazing" as he would say. He relentlessly maneuvered around the seller’s agents to make sure that our offer was always in the forefront. I sat back in awe a few times, watching him negotiate, coming up with things that I would never dream of saying or doing.

My family just moved into what I can honestly say is our dream home. I know with 100% certainty that this would never have happened had we not met David Rosenbaum. David leveraged not only his skills, but his relationships to seal the deal that won us our home. Something else that I noticed over time is that David has a good working relationship with countless realtors in the area. Had he not been able to vouch for us, putting his own reputation on the line to more or less guarantee that we would close on our deal, the seller's realtor would have certainly passed on our offer. When push came to shove, he wasn't buying something as much as he was selling us to the seller.

As much as David is a natural negotiator, skillful engineer and knowledgeable realtor, he is genuine, kind and funny. We come from Staten Island, and would need to coordinate meeting David after work or on weekends, making a 45 minute drive to see houses. This never really felt like a chore, being more exciting and fun because David made it so. Even when we saw a home that we knew the moment we pulled up that it wasn't for us, David made it a fun experience that always had a take away.

David won us our dream home, and like I stated at the opening of this review, we would not be here now without him. I honestly don't believe any other realtor that we met compares to David and would have been able to do what he did to get us here. We are forever grateful to him. I would recommend David to anyone, and already have to some family members who have expressed interest in moving to the area. If you've read this review, call him. He won't let you down. And when the smoke clears he'll leave you wondering how you ever bought or sold a home without him.

Graziella Brunie at Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate is a true professional, who goes above and beyond! She exceeded our expectations. Her expertise got us to list and sell our home within days and we sold at a record breaking price for our neighborhood. Grazilla made the overall process of listing and selling seamless, knowledgeable, and enjoyable. I recommend Grazilla to anyone looking to buy or sell your home, I promise you will be thrilled with the experience!

Ellen’s son David Rosenbaum was my realtor for my last property transaction. Besides being very friendly and just a pleasure to work with, David knows his stuff and is an excellent negotiator and closer. He sold my home in Matawan for the best possible price, the entire process was hassle free and straight forward. He has a professional team of staff members from photographers to listing agents. I don’t really write many reviews but I just wanted to share with fellow sellers, rest assured if you go with David, you will sell your home for the maximum profit.

We are so happy to have used David with Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate on the sale of our first home and the purchase of our forever home. He was knowledgeable, helpful and walked us through every step of the process. We couldn't have asked for a better home buying and selling experience! They are very knowledgeable of the area and we are so happy we chose to work with them!

This is a superb real estate agency and a staple here in Old Bridge. They know all the surrounding areas very well. Ellen and David are superb, caring and people who excel at what they do. We have worked with David for many years. David is a very knowledgeable person and he has a wealth of information on anything and everything you may need. He is trustworthy and only has the best interest of the client. He has been my go to person for everything. He knows how to match you with the perfect home. He helped my husband and I buy our first townhouse 15 years ago and ever since then he has been a reliable trustworthy professional. We bought our second home and now our third home with him. He has guided us in all the stages of the home buying and selling process. He is someone you can you trust and know that he will work relentlessly until you are satisfied. I highly recommend him and appreciate all the hard work he has done every single time.

Ellen Rosenbaum sold us our first home in Old Bridge in 1995. She was (still is) WONDERFUL!!!! Ellen really helped us with all our questions and fears as first-time home buyers. She was dedicated, hardworking, kept us informed, and always looked out for our best interests and specific needs – having a one-year-old son, my husband needing a garage, my commute to Manhattan – and so much more. I remember one house, which was very nice, but they had carpeting throughout and cats. My child had shown signs of being very allergic. Ellen said we need to move on and keep looking.

Fast forward 2021. My husband passed away and our son is an adult living in another state. I need to sell our house. Ellen to my rescue! We got together, she told me exactly what I needed to do, and fortunately I listened. My house sold in no time, and I am beyond grateful for how much it sold for. It’s because of Ellen’s expertise. There were a couple of times I was scared, stubborn or tired and didn’t want to do what Ellen recommended, but I did it because I trust her. I really do. She is an extraordinary person and real estate professional. She hasn’t changed from 1995 to 2021 except she’s even more knowledgeable and experienced. But as far as a person and real estate agent – still the absolute BEST!!!!

Be prepared for the energizer bunny! She just keeps going and going and going! I am so very very thankful.

We sold a townhouse and purchased our home with David over 10 years ago. A few weeks ago, we sold that house and once again used David to help with the sale. The house was sold within a few days. His professionalism and expertise made this process extremely efficient. Over the last 10 years, I have recommended many family members and friends to use David and they all had a similar, pleasant experience. David is a true professional and wouldn’t go through this process with anybody else. I highly recommend David and Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate!!! Thank you again David.

After hearing glowing reviews from my brother during his home search in 2008, I knew I had to use Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate, and specifically David Rosenbaum, when my wife and I began looking for a new home in Old Bridge.
Within hours of emailing David, he called us and scheduled time for the following weekend to show us a few homes as we were just beginning our search.
He really took the time to understand our needs and answer all of our questions and provide sage advice throughout our search.
Over the course of a few months, David showed us over 20 homes and researched many others for us.
After we found the right home, that’s when David really shined. Within 24 hours of us submitting our offer, David was able to negotiate with the seller’s agent to sell at a great price, right within our budget.
David is not only a great negotiator, but he made the purchasing process very smooth. He set us up with a great mortgage broker, attorney, house inspector and numerous other contacts to help us through the process.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a professional, energetic and responsive real estate agent, then look no further than David Rosenbaum.

As first time home buyers, the process was scary for my husband and I. We had very little knowledge in the beginning when we first started looking. We had heard about Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate Inc. from friends who had lived in the area and had used their service. David Rosenbaum was very patient with us and knowledgeable. We didn't feel like we were being pushed to do anything. Anyone making a large purchase would want to have this kind of genuine, caring nature assisting them in a life changing decision. It didn't take long for us to fine the house that we loved. We were assisted in every way possible. We were kept in the loop about what steps had to be done next. We felt the precision put into the job. We felt taken care of. We would highly recommend using him to anyone, even my own mother!

As the closing got closer, my family went through a serious medical crisis, but David was not only understanding but expressed worry and support. He did as much as he could on his part to help make the rest of the closing as seamless as possible. This in and of itself, you can't buy. If you want a reliable, unique and honest real estate company, go to Ellen Rosenbaum Inc. They are a family business and they treat you as such.

Having recently sold our home with David as our listing agent I felt it was important for me to let everyone know just how good he and his team are at their job. Selling our family home after 25 + years was scary, but David had my wife and I comfortable from day one. Our home was outside of the usual area that Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate Inc. serves, but David rose to the challenge and did a tremendous amount of work learning about the Somerville/Bridgewater area and how to properly price and sell our home. He walked us through the proper way to show the home and was tremendous in negotiations and in keeping us involved as the process played out. He knew our questions before we would even get them out at times. I can't recommend David and his team enough if you are buying or selling a home in the Central New Jersey area.

I used David Rosenbaum from Ellen Rosenbaum Real Estate to sell my home and I had a terrific experience doing so. David was able to sell my home fast and for a price above what I expected. David was very professional, and always available to me every step of the process. I will definitely use and recommend David for any future home purchases or selling as I have complete confidence in him and his team. Thank you for a great job!
