Highly recommend Eileen Gong for all buyers in the northern NJ area! As first-time homebuyers, we were a bit overwhelmed, but Eleen made the entire process seamless. She listened attentively to our needs and preferences, and her expertise guided us to the perfect townhome that checked off all our boxes. What impressed us most was her proactive approach. Eleen not only walked us through every detail of the homebuying process but also anticipated our concerns and addressed them before they even arose. She even connected us with a fantastic network including an attorney and support staff, which made the paperwork a breeze. But perhaps the most remarkable part was when she found our home before it hit the market. She knew exactly what we were looking for and went above and beyond to make it happen.

- Sascha Adler

Eleen Woo was an unbelievably helpful and professional broker from the beginning to the end of the selling process, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. From the start, she gave very useful recommendations as to how to renovate and stage our parents’ house for the best sale price, and throughout the process she worked tirelessly on open houses, communicating with potential buyers, and letting us know how the market was responding. During the closing process, when the buyer was making multiple demands, she let us know which ones needed to be attended to, and which could be ignored. All in all, Eleen was a lifesaver in a very stressful process!

- Catherine Davis

Eleen was the best! My husband and I were looking to buy a home for a few years with a different broker, and once we met Eleeen, it was a charm ?? the first home she showed us, we loved because she listed to what we wanted. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from the making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker. She was professional, experienced and helpful and I highly recommend her to all my friends and family!

My wife and I met Eleen while shopping for a new home in Englewood Cliffs, NJ in late 2021. Going into the height of the housing bubble in 2022, we had pretty much given up hope that we would find anything of interest (and much less, value) in the near term. However, Eleen never gave up hope and constantly kept us up-to-date on the market trends and showed new inventory in the area as they popped up. What especially impressed me during this time was that Eleen was never pushy during the shopping phase — as many realtors can be — and had always kept our needs and wants in mind when presenting new homes to view. When I was not able to attend open houses, Eleen even volunteered to attend and take videos in my absence, which I have never experienced with any of my past realtors in my past 4 condo purchases. While leaving one of the open houses that we had attended, I saw a modern-style house across the street and mentioned that I would love for that house to come on market, because that was very close to what we were looking for. In about a week, Eleen dropped me a note saying that that exact house may be coming to market very soon. I later found out that she had hand-written a letter to the owner of the modern-style home at my passing comment and had even convinced them to take advantage of the current seller’s market. While impressive, her incredible reach and expertise as a top-class realtor does not end there. On the way to the pre-listing showing of the said modern house that she delivered on a silver platter, Eleen (nearly) dragged me to another open house on a home that I had previously written off as being too old and dated. However, Eleen saw through the crappy photos and dated decor, and recognized the hidden value of this home and made sure that I at least saw it. As fate would have it: once I saw the house, I saw that Eleen was absolutely right on the money. I made an offer on that previously written-off house that very same day. I was thoroughly impressed by Eleen’s keen acumen in identifying the so-called diamonds in the rough, rather than going the easy route and sticking with what sells easily. Eleen advised me on an initial offer that made a lot of sense, and we eventually agreed somewhere in between — still well below the asking price.. at the height of the 2022 housing bubble. From the initial offering to negotiations to eventual offer acceptance, Eleen masterfully navigated through the deal as a former attorney, and ended up getting us an unbelievable purchase price. And did I mention the 60k in seller concessions to boot? Again, at the height of the 2022 housing bubble?? While waiting for the transaction to close, Eleen kept in touch on every minute detail of the purchase, from (2) appraisals to (4) inspections to even negotiating a lease termination on my current rental. Eleen kept a rolodex of prime vendors for each and every facet of home buying and maintenance. She even lined up appointments with vendors on my behalf and managed every contact with such grace that sometimes I wondered how she was able to juggle all these on top of her many other deals, while raising three kids of her own! When I had issues with my bank or my attorney, Eleen was the first person I called and she was my champion from day one to the day that we finally closed. Calling Eleen an expert realtor is an understatement. In a market as complicated as we are living through now, Eleen is the one champion you want to have by your side — at least as a buyer in these times. Eleen made our fairy tales come true, not with magical wands and spells; but with unrelenting hard work on our behalf and with unparalleled commitment to success of her clients. I’ve lost count how many times we’ve said ‘thank you’ during the past 6 months we’ve had the pleasure of working with Eleen, but she deserves every single one. So here’s another one in farewell: thank you Eleen for everything!

- Hoon Joo

Eleen was a pleasure to work with. She assisted in my home sale and I was impressed how responsive she was. Eleen is always 10 steps ahead, she proactively manage expectations and goes above and beyond dealing with other side’s realtor, attorneys, town officials and anyone involved in the process. She’s very quick to act and helped us negotiate throughout the home sale process in a very smart and transparent way. I honestly wish I knew Eleen before because she’s been the best real estate professional I ever worked with. Bottom line: she looks out for you and make things happen! Thanks a lot Eleen!

- Natan Alves

Eleen is incredibly helpful, thoughtful, mindful of our request every step of the way in my home purchase process. She made the buying experience so easy and smooth. Very professional and resourceful. She doesn’t forget you after the closing. Instead she helps us so much for us settling down in our new home.

- liangyu0422

Eleen is committed, dedicated and relentless in helping to sell your house. She has extensive knowledge of the NJ and Bergen County area and is honest about market values.

- kbnguyen2

Eleen is incredible and by far the best realtor I’ve ever worked with, we just closed in our first home and Eleen showed us houses that worked for us. Always listening to us and never trying to push us into something we weren’t comfortable with. Always sending us houses we may like and going on tours for us when we weren’t able. She is incredible and I can’t recommended her enough.

- Anonymous

I had my house on the market for almost two years with not a single offer. As soon as I started working with Eleen, she started making suggestions on changes to the house that would make it more marketable. The suggestions were spot on and were the reasons that led to getting two offers right away after the changes were made. It was obvious that Eleen is knowledgeable and experienced but also she was very easy to work as she helped me with the entire process of the sale.

- ivettelan

Eleen is different. She listens and she cares. She’s not just in it for herself. Thank you for literally saving me! You are an answered prayer. I couldn’t get anyone to sell my home but Eleen made it happen and quite profitably! She’s a Godsend and I recommend her, unwavingly. She is to be trusted and I pray we get to work together again, someday. God Bless <3

Eleen helped us find a beautiful rental home 3 years ago. Having worked with her once, there was no hesitation in our reaching out to her again this year to find our first home, this time to buy!

In the midst of all the horror stories of current market being the sellers’ market and there being not enough listings to choose from, she ended up finding us a perfect home. Once our offer was accepted, her broad professional network including mortgage company, lawyer, and even contractors then made sure that we were taken care of to the end. Throughout the process she was always there with answers, often guiding us through the questions we didn’t even realize we should be asking.

Especially as a first-time buyer, buying a home that we love, in a neighborhood that we wanted, for the price within the budget, in a market that is less than friendly to buyers, would not have been possible had it not been with Eleen’s professional help. We feel very lucky to have come across Eleen, twice (!), and hope that she can help us again in the future. Thank you!

I have been working with Eleen for the past 2 years. She is super responsive and the hardest worker realtor I know. She answers text and emails at anytime and any day. She goes above and beyond and doesn’t not concentrate her energy only on finding a home for you. She has such know-how and is always willing to help with tips and recommendations. I highly recommend Eleen and will definitely work with her again.

- Camila da Costa

Eleen Gong was such a pleasure to work with. She helped us to sell our home in Englewood Cliffs. Her expertise and easy manner ensured that the entire process was both smooth and easy. I highly recommend Eleen to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a home. Thank you Eleen!

- daronrosenberg

I have a great and pleasant experience with Eleen when she helped me with selling and buying properties. She was very knowledgeable and professional, and always kind, patient and responsive. I was kept informed all along the way and received helpful feed back. Buying and selling homes can be a stressful and often frustrating experience so it was great having someone on your side who made it easy and less complicated. I would highly recommend her for all real estate needs.

Eleen was a wonderful, knowledgeable realtor who really went above and beyond. She was patient and never got annoyed with our requests.

Eleen represented me as a buyer. She was professional but appropriately friendly at the same time. It was easy to interact with her both socially and technologically. At the end, with a-lot of her help i was able to complete the purchase of a nice condo!

- alibro 2000

- Hyonso

Highly recommended

- Ozgur

Eleen is the most accessible agent I have ever worked with. She knows the market well and went above and beyond to get my home rented at a competitive price. She even came by to paint my old basement door with her son before a showing! Who does that?! She’s got a knack for service and would recommend her to close friends and family.

- Hankil

We love Eleen! She was recommended to us by good friends who have worked with her to buy/sell a condo and buy a house. She helped us to find a house to rent last year, sell our condo, and now she’s currently helping us to look for a house to buy. She is very flexible about being available to look at houses, and she is quite knowledgeable about the area (Bergen County). Even more importantly, she really is invested in helping her clients and she gave us great advice and hands-on help when we were selling our condo (including recommending contractors for renovations, and even making herself available to check their work or receive deliveries when we couldn’t get to there during the day because of our work schedules!). She also has a very calm personality, and is not pushy in any way. She really goes above and beyond, and we will only be using her for our future real estate needs!

- Mlkim

We purchased our home this summer (2016) after looking for almost two long years. Eleen couldn’t have been more helpful. She was always available to show homes and our schedules are not easily accommodated. Eleen was always patient and positive. We must have looked at about 30 different homes in the radius of 20 miles, each time finding something wrong. Finally, we found the home we loved and Eleen walked us through the process, sharing her expertise, each step of the way. I would recommend Eleen to anyone who is looking for a realtor to work with. She will make the process of buying a home as easy as it can be. Thanks Eleen for all your help!!

- Maria

Eleen was an amazing agent, she was very helpful in the process of helping me with the rental I was interested in. She made the whole process go smoothly and stress-free. I am very satisfied and happy that I was able to work with her and I highly recommend her to others that are looking to rent or buy!

- Kelz

Eleen helped us to sell our house in Leonia, NJ while our family was living abroad. It was our first time selling but she made the whole process not-so overwhelming with her professional skills. We could trust her and rely on her from overseas from the beginning to the end. She hired a contractor to work on the house on our request, paid attention to the details, and did her best to be available for us. She would actually review the contract and point out missing terms with her legal background. She is one of the best seller’s agents.

- Jklin

Eleen was awesome in helping us sell our Coop apartment. We can’t say enough about her expertise and unrelenting ability to help close the deal and make it seem so effortless. This is the Third time we utilized Eleen, as she helped us find our current home two years ago.
With our recent sale, I had commitments overseas that took me out of town, but Eleen was SO cool and understanding and was able to step in and help facilitate and oversee a fix that was needed to make the apartment sale happen.
Prior to selling our apartment, we also had Eleen find a pretty good tenant to rent the place. (For those who are landlords, you know that finding a good tenant is truly a miracle.)
Eleen will tell you the reality of the situation. If you have second thoughts about a suggestion, a thought, – just trust her instincts. You will never regret it.

Eleen is a great agent and I highly recommend her for your real estate needs! She found a property that fit all our needs, was patient and tireless in representing us to the sellers, and went the extra mile numerous times. You really can’t do better than Eleen, and if you are in the market in North N.J., you should contact her.

Eleen quickly understood the type of home and amenities I was interested in and showed me several areas and homes fitting my likes. She made herself available to fit my schedule, often on short notice. She was relentless working with a difficult seller, following up on all aspects of the deal and through the negotiation, pre-close and closing process. Even after I closed and moved in, she continues to reach out, providing recommendations for renovation resources and to follow up on certain items delayed by the seller. I would recommend her to help find a home, and expect her skills would work equally well for anyone selling a house too.

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Eleen throughout our long process of buying our house. All told she worked with us for over 3-years, and after countless of open houses and viewings and two offers later, were we able to finally find and close on our house. She is very patient and not pushy at all, which some agents can easily become after such a long time. She always looked out for our best interest and never unduly influenced our decision for a particular house. She was very responsive and always a delight to be with. If you are looking for an agent for the Bergen County area, I would not hesitate a second to recommend her.

Eleen is a very knowledgeable and conscientious realtor who assisted us in buying an investment property under a very tight deadline. She also subsequently helped us find tenants and rent the property in a timely manner. It was a pleasure to work with her and we wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

Eleen helped me sell my house 2 years ago. She came and helped me decorate so that buyers would see the space and light that my house affords. She also presented my space really well with a little bit of staging (dining tables and bedrooms) and lit scented candles and music. She also helped me to negotiate to get the best price on the market.

Now Eleen is helping me look for a home. She is really good at finding what I like and not wasting my time looking at places that I would never be interested in. Eleen also provided all the neighborhood info and comps which I found really useful. I know she will help me negotiate the best price for the place I finally buy!

- Alice

Eleen Gong helped us with our family’s purchase of a condo with great city views. She was very patient and very helpful in all ways. Eleen was always available whenever we had a question. We were impressed with her ability to research issues that we were uncertain about and her legal background came in very handy when legal questions arose and we weren’t able to get in touch with our attorney. We enjoyed working with Eleen and recommend her highly!

- Wk

From the moment I spoke to Eleen on the phone, I knew I was dealing with a top-notch professional who not only was truly committed to helping me and my husband find a great home for our family, but also someone that took tremendous pride in her work. Meeting Eleen for the first time was a pleasure; she was truly knowledable about the properties she showed me, and was honest in her assessment of certain homes that didn’t meet our standards. In other words, she wasn’t the type of realtor to pretend that everything was fabulous when it wasn’t; her honesty and professionalism was apparent from Day One. We looked at a number of homes, and then found one we really wanted. There were issues with regards to negotiating with the other broker, and when those issues arose (ie, they didn’t want pets; we had two dogs) Eleen was able to advocate on our behalf and get what we wanted…even with many bumps along the way. She handled every setback the owner’s broker threw at us with grace and tact, and continued to help us get the rental we wanted on the terms we wanted. When one particular moment arose when we didn’t think we would get the house, Eleen was incredible in preparing a list of other rental homes to view; and made it her business to have appointments waiting so that I could compare and contrast other homes. She made us feel as if we were her most important clients, which is something I feel she makes EVERY client feel! In short, she was beyond incredible and when our lease is up she will be the first (and only) realtor we will contact.

Eleen took utmost initiative in helping us find our dream home. This is our second time looking for a house and while you think you did your homework, Eleen gave her most professional advice so you have a far better perspective on the market. Her energy and being proactive just impressed me – you got her response the minute you sent your msg out. Amazing! She gave me a peace of mind and makes the sometimes painful house-searching process painless. I highly recommend her and definitely will use her again in the future.
