We had an amazing experience working with Risa to find our first home. She was incredibly knowledgeable, informative, and guided us through every step of the process, making what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier. She knows the Northern Valley/Bergen County area inside and out and provided valuable insight into each neighborhood we considered. She also had an excellent network of trusted local contractors and home improvement professionals, which has been incredibly helpful even after closing. She never missed a showing, was always flexible with our schedule, and responded to every question or concern immediately. We would highly recommend Risa to anyone looking to buy a home in the Northern Valley area. We're so grateful for all of her hard work in helping us find our first home!

Risa was an amazing agent. Very knowledgeable and patient. She was able to find an off market property for me to purchase and had my property sold within a week. She helped me purchase and sell all within the same two-week period. Her coordination was top notch. Cannot recommend her enough as an agent.

We listed and sold our house in Haworth with Risa Corson in the last year. I contacted Risa about becoming our listing agent in Fall 2024 because I was aware that she is well connected with other agents and developers in the area. In the end, Risa helped us sell our home over asking price and to a family. It was a nice outcome for everyone. I couldn't be happier with our choice of listing agent. About Risa-- She is the ultimate professional! She was always in contact with us and keeping us on target for different stages of the sale. She made the process as smooth as possible. She is kind and super organized. Definitely 5/5 stars!

Thank you so much. It helped that i had such wonderful partners in this. You both were so communicative, organized and such a pleasure to work with. I loved getting to know all of you and wish you the best in your next exciting chapter. Thank you for trusting me in such an important sale.

She and her helpful assistant were very helpful to my parents who just closed on their sale of their property in tenafly. My parents had already moved to the west coast, and in their absence, she was able to take care of the showings, offer stage, various inspections and closing of the house. We were able to secure a selling price that was well above the original asking price. My parents kept stressing about the reliability, great communication, professionalism and dependability of Risa. We are very thankful for her help!

Thank you Eric. Your parents were such a pleasure and what a pleasure to sell a home that was kept in such incredible condition!
