If you plan to sell your home, I highly recommend working with Brian Church and his team. The sale of my home was complicated. Prior to Brian, the house was listed with another agency which resulted in only a handful of low offers and one contingency offer from buyers who were ultimately unable to sell their house. Brian understood the challenges created by the prior listing and addressed them in both his marketing plan and in his communications with potential buyers. He consistently provided me with updates and insights. He listened to my concerns and paid attention to the many details involved in selling a home. His team members were professional and responsive. I ultimately received three offers on my home and sold it at a price that was above my target. Thanks to Brian and his team, the sale was a successful and smooth process.
With the help of Brian Church from Berkshire Hathaway, we searched for a waterfront home near the Jersey shore for months and thankfully we did not end up overpaying for one!!! We happily settled on a great house in Tinton Falls which we got at a very good price and we are forever grateful for Brian’s advice and guidance along the way .... he’s extremely knowledgeable, stayed very engaged throughout our 6 month journey! He does his homework so you don’t have to and succinctly gives his analysis with complete objectivity and transparency .. we highly recommend the Brian Church team and we plan to tap them when this market calms down so we can settle in to our dream waterfront house in the next few years
My house was for sale for 7-8 months with another realtor and during that time I received just one offer, way below my asking price. When my listing expired with my previous realtor I went looking for someone new and thankfully I found Brian Church. Within one week of listing my house with his group I received 3 offers, all of which were higher than the offer I received months ago. My house sold and I am now happily settled in my new home.
The entire Brian Church Group is amazing! Their combined expertise, knowledge, and ability to get things done were continually impressive. Any question I had was answered with precision and professionalism. I could not imagine buying or selling with any other agent. Brian Church has mastered every inch of the real estate market. I am, once again, incredibly happy with the entire experience!
The Brian Church group handled the sale of our home in a very professional and satisfactory manner. Their analysis of market conditions were very thorough and insightful. As with most sales there were a few bumps in the process and the Brian Church group handled the issues smoothly and the buyer was happy in the end. Would not hesitate to recommend them. David Wright
"Worked with Heather MacConnell Papunen to rent and had a great experience. She was always available and very helpful!!
I would like to thank Brian and his team for their professional knowledge and assistance in selling our home. Brian was always available and was able to help us in every way possible. He is extremely professional, friendly and willing to work with you. We look forward to dealing with him and the team in the future to find our new home. If you are looking for a realtor, Brian is the one that you want. Thank you Brian for your help!!!!!!
We were renting and looking for a home for our family within a certain time frame. Paula Eagan went above and beyond our expectations as a buyer's agent. coorespondance was excellent, very professional and knowledgable. A great experience:) I would not hesitate to use Paula for any of our future real estate needs!
I am more than satisfied with selling my old home and buying a new home with Brian Church at Ward Wight Sotheby's Int'l. The process went very smoothly. I was kept informed and my phone calls were always return promptly either by Brian or his associate. I would recommend anyone who is moving to call Brian Church at Ward Wight, as I believe you can feel confident that he will do everything he can to close the sale in a prompt and friendly manner. CLASS ACT all the way!.
When I decided that it was time to sell an inherited home, I knew that it would be a tough sell in this market as the home had not been cosmetically updated since the 90's. Brian and his associates guided me through the entire process with confidence and experience. First of all, Brian priced the sale fairly and realistically, especially since the home sale was to be 'as is'. Next, he coached me as to what needed to be done to stage the home for Open House. Again he was realistic in what needed to be done to make the home look presentable. Whenever I needed a question answered, Brian responded quickly, always within twenty-four hours. Because of Brian's guidance, I was able to walk into the closing, confident that everything was in order. Since I had such a positive experience with this home sale, I would definitely recommend Brian Church as THE REALTOR to use in the southern Monmouth area.

We put our house on the market because we saw the house we wanted and now are in our "forever home" because of Brian Church and his colleagues.He was the listing agent on the home we wanted and the listing agent on the home we sold. He successfully marketed our house, helped us negotiate the offers we received and we sold within 2 months of listing. His assistant was great in managing the showing requests. With 2 small kids and a dog she made it more manageable. He was a counselor at times when things got a little crazy and made the most stressful situations better. He was there at every point in the process--attorney review, inspections, mortgage process, appraisal and finally the closings. He was always in touch with me and attentive to my email/calls. He was very professional and knowledge of the market and process. I would highly recommend him. He is the reason we are here!
Marilyn Jacobson and the Brian Church group, provided an exceptional level of service during my home buying process. Marilyn had a commanding knowledge of the area during the home search, and helped every stage of the way up to and including the closing. I would recommend her to anyone.
It
was a great experience working with the Brian Church group. We always got good
advice and great referrals. Most importantly, it was wonderful to work with
Sharon Langill. She was always helpful and a great sounding board and resource.
She helped us to think though a wide range of homes and in the end we got the
home we love. Besides all of that, she was fun and comfortable to view homes
with over these past months. What more could we have asked for. The group was
adept at negotiating and explaining all of our options to us. It was a very
good experience. We will be sure to recommend Sharon to any of our friends in
the market.
I
had the opportunity to work with The Brian Church Group on the sale of my
condominium at the New Jersey shore in the fall of 2010. I specifically worked
with Brian Church and Sharon Langill. I couldn't be more pleased with the
overall experience or outcome.
I found Brian and Sharon by chance after walking by the Sotheby's office in
Belmar, NJ. I later learned I was very fortunate with my choice, as The Brian
Church Group maintains a superior reputation for successful real estate
transactions in the area. While I wanted to sell my condo, I knew conditions in
the real estate market were very difficult across the country. I thought it
would take at least a year, if not longer, to sell it. Instead, I received two
offers to purchase my condo only a week after listing it. One of these buyers
ultimately purchased the condo. I truly believe the condo sold so quickly, and
at a fair price, because of Brian and Sharon's efforts.
The sales process was a pleasure from start to finish. I appreciated Brian and
Sharon's consultative approach, which I believe really benefits their
customers. We had an initial meeting to discuss the property, pricing and
marketing strategies. They asked me questions to understand my goals and
objectives, which were integrated into the sales plan. They reviewed the
features of the property in detail, and knew which one's to showcase in the
listing. They educated me on the local market dynamics, their unique sales and
referral channels and the importance of an effective pricing strategy. I was
very impressed with Brian and Sharon's knowledge and experience. I began to
gain confidence they might be able to exceed my expectations on how quickly
they could sell my condo using a pricing strategy that worked for me.
Following the initial meeting, we met several times to finalize the sales plan.
It became increasingly clear Brian and Sharon knew exactly how to market the
condo and it's features, leveraging mutliple unique sales channels. When the
condo was listed, they immediately held an open house for real estate brokers
and agents in the area. I believe this led to at least one of the two offers I
received within a week of listing the property. I couldn't believe how quickly
Brian and Sharon generated interest in the property, let alone securing two
offers within a week of listing it. Ultimately, the condo sold to one of theser
two buyers.
I truly believe the condo sold because of the efforts of The Brian Church
Group. There are several reasons I highly recommend them. They have excellent
communication skills. They're very responsive. They listen to their customers.
Their knowledge of the local market is invaluable. Their experience and skill
in pricing properties is so important. They provide excellent support
throughout the negotiation process. They really know how to market a property,
leveraging unique resources and relationships to generate interest. They take
advantage of technology to maximize their marketing efforts. They use a robust
planning process grounded in years of experience that benefits their customers.
The team operates with integrity during every phase of the sales process. They
take full accountability for the sales plan, process and results. They are very
customer focused.
Brian, Sharon and the entire Brian Church Group were incredibly supportive
throughout the sales process. The process was seamless. When the buyer hit a
snag, Brian and Sharon were on top of the situation and ready with alternative
options if needed. They provided referrals to fast, effective and high quality
contractors to help me resolve issues from the buyer's inspection report and
the township's certification process. They educated me on each step of the
sales process, effectively set and managed my expectations, and proactively
anticipated and addressed potential obstacles. Their communication and
responsiveness throughout the sales process was clear, timely and effective.
Most of all, they represented my interests, and treated me as a valued customer
as a top priority.
I highly recommend The Brian Church Group, Brain Church and Sharon Langill for
any real estate transactions. I will definitely work with them again if I
purchase in the area.
Brian and the
Group listed/sold my home on 1st Ave in Spring Lake NJ and located a perfect
next property to buy, with both closings on the same day, back-to-back. There
were no problems of any kind, which means that they took care of all the
details. I will use Brian for my next transaction, 100%.
The Brian Church group is unsurpassed in their knowledge of the local real estate market, ability to negotiate and close real estate transactions. During a tough market these professionals stand out and make things happen. They helped us sell and buy a house within two short months. Very impressive.
Mr Church and staff were professional and courteous. They were very helpful especially to walk you through the entire process and were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. They were detail oriented and were incredible, they often offered their help. I highly recommend this group. DE

Peachie, you made the entire difficult process of a short sale seem effortless, and when encountering any obstacles, you were there to help us through them every step of the way. You are the best!!! Thanks again.
