Introduction

Welcome to 81 Mountain Ave. Just 0.9 miles from the heart of Mendham Borough, 81 Mountain Avenue presents a beautifully updated Cape Cod that seamlessly blends classic character with a fresh, modern sensibility.

We had a wonderful and seamless experience selling our house. We followed Elizabeth’s lead and ultimately sold at 30% over asking.

Elizabeth is an absolute pro and 1st class professional in every way. Her advice and thinking was always helpful and spot on.

Andy is amazing! He really puts in 150% for his clients! He always had our best interests in mind!

We have sold two homes in three years with Elizabeth and cannot speak highly enough about her – simply the BEST!

Andy was truly our ally as we navigated bidding, contract negotiations, and closing. He always made himself available (even on vacation)!

During both purchase and sale of our house, they were insightful, detail oriented and extremely professional.

Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic! She was instrumental in us getting our dream house despite 5 competing offers!

Andy has a designer’s aesthetic sense and a builder's know-how to help you understand the value of a house and its fit for your family.

Elizabeth handled the entire sales process with professionalism, expediency & positivity while helping me find a perfect next house for my family.

Andy quickly addressed our concerns with his easy-going style & knowledge of the area. In a single weekend he made sure we found the right home.

With their pre-sale guidance, our home was turn-key and received multiple above market offers as soon as it went on the market.

Andy helped us find our dream home in Short Hills NJ. He was more than just a realtor. He was with us *every single step of the way*
