I strongly recommend Valerie for your real estate needs.

Dolores Marie Destephen

Ms Francois is an amazing Real Estate Agent.

In 2016 she assisted me in finding my first home. For me it was very difficult due to a divorce and my limited resources but that did not stop her from finding the perfect home for me. She gave me so much peace in the process. In 2020 I looked for her again but this time to sell (moving out of state). Once again she went above and beyond to guide me and answer every question I had. Highly recommend Ms. Yvonne Francois

Jessica Mancheno (Executive Assistant)

LWS Realty LLC (CEO)

Valerie was excellent!

She understood clearly what we were interested in so did not waste any time showing us houses. She easily built rapport with other agents so made coordination easy. She kept us informed of what was going on and led us each step of the way for an easy closing. We were in the the Army so moved often and this was the easiest move thanks to her. She is a true professional and good at her job.

Lina went above and beyond for me and my husband with the purchase of our home.

She was constantly in contact with us every step of the way. She helped us through this emotionally exhausting journey day and night. She fought for us, and saw it through with the utmost professionalism. Highly recommend her talent for your real estate needs.

Danielle Manning (Salon Owner )

Yvonne was the most patient, understanding, kind and those are just a few words to describe Yvonne as both a genuine person and realtor.

She helped us through our first home buying experience and I don’t think we could have had a better realtor to be as committed and very communicative with the entire process and always worked with our schedules! She helped us with our first biggest and scariest purchase and just helped make feel all that less big and not so scary , forever grateful to have found such a genuine person and that’s why she’s great at her career because she actually cares about the people!

Roxanne Whittaker

I wasn't even looking for a place anymore and all of a sudden I got a text message for Paul saying that he had the place for me.

We were under contract within 24 hours. He had an inspector, a lawyer, and someone to do the mortgage. He worked with me every step of the way to ensure that I had exactly what I wanted and worked within my price range (which seemed impossible!) His gut feelings are on point and he was always available when needed. I would recommend him to anyone. Even my mom didn't complain once!

Kathleen Napoli

Paul sold my house in one day!

He did everything for me. He listed and advertised perfectly. I had viewers that day. I highly recommend Paul as your realtor. He is very positive, upbeat and professional. Paul made the home sale process so easy for me and my family!

Deborah Sarlo (Homeowner )

Lina was my Agent when I purchased my home in 2014.

She was the consummate professional knew her craft and gave us professional advice on why we shouldn't purchase homes we were looking at, which were at the bottom of slopes. She was very patient and was always available to show us multiple homes on any day we requested. Lina became a member of my extended family and was at my 50th Birthday Celebration with my very large family.

Colin Patterson

Nicole Pacifico

Val was nothing but professional when it came to selling my house.

She went above and beyond in ensuring the process went as smooth as possible. Even when there were small hiccups that were out of our control, Val was on top of them to ensure we closed as soon as possible.

Sam Moran

We are thrilled to be in our first home and are very grateful to Gianvito for all the help and guidance he provided through this process!

We didn't have extensive knowledge of real estate in the area where we were looking to purchase since it was outside of where my husband and I grew up. Being acquainted with Gianvito previously, we were excited work with someone that knows the Monmouth County area well and is such a pleasure to deal with. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful so it was wonderful to have him there to guide us through it all. We can't thank him enough for helping us realize our dream of buying our home!

Jaime & Joe Malley, Hazlet, NJ

From our very first encounter, Valerie impressed us with her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail.

She took the time to walk us through her recommended listing strategy, thoughtfully reviewing comparable homes in the area to ensure our pricing and approach were right on target. Her expertise clearly paid off as our open house drew over 29 families and resulted in 5 strong offers! Valerie guided us through each step with confidence and care, taking the time to review the pros and cons of every offer before we made our decision. Throughout the entire transaction, she kept us consistently informed and demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills that gave us complete peace of mind. When a potential oil tank issue surfaced during the home inspection, Valerie remained calm, organized, and reassuring. She immediately discussed next steps, reached out to the township to obtain necessary documentation and coordinated seamlessly with everyone involved, from the buyer’s agent and attorney to the contractor handling the oil tank removal. She even came onsite the day of the tank removal to make sure everything went smoothly, only to discover it was actually a septic tank! Valerie handled the situation promptly and efficiently, guiding us through the next steps without missing a beat. Her level of dedication, thoroughness, and care is truly remarkable. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and thoughtful, all while being down-to-earth and such a pleasure to work with. Even as we approached closing, Valerie managed communications and timelines with ease, ensuring both sides were aligned and comfortable. We feel incredibly blessed to have had Valerie on our team for the sale of our NJ home. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine kindness made all the difference. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to all of our friends and family. Valerie, thank you for your unwavering support and for making such an important milestone in our lives a smooth and successful one.

Sonia and Angel Gracia

Marie was great to work with, she was knowledgeable and available throughout the whole process.

John Hughes

This Is the third property I buy in New Jersey Using Valerie Wechsler at Next Home Realty in the last two years.

Both she and her team make it so easy. I describe what I am looking for and I give her a price range and she delivers. The closing took 27 minutes. That is what I am now accustomed to. She is ruining me for any other realtor. I strongly recommend the team at Next Home Realty. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Tony Perry

I have had the pleasure of working with Valerie over the past 6 years.

She is a professional to the core with in-depth knowledge about the real estate market and everything required to help you close a deal. She is attentive, always willing to help and is very focused. A people person with skills to guide, advise and hand hold the stakeholders through a transaction. I have referred her services to my friends and family and look forward to working with her in the future.

Rajeev Gabbita

We priced our Colts Neck house to sell itself without agent.

You may imaging how many calls we got from agents to try to get us to sign with them. We were decided not to get the agent until we got a call from Paul. After a few minutes he gained our trust and we are positive that he earned his commision. We had many setbacks but with Paul we overcome it. He was very responsive and kept us informed all the time. His interpersonal skills and professionalism is hard to find. We felt that we gain a friend during one of the most stressful time. Thank you Paul!

Zuzana Surova

Valerie was a joy to work with during our home buying process.

She pays extremely close attention to detail when it comes to documentation, home features, as well as current and future issues with homes we checked out. Despite a long home buying journey in a difficult market, Valerie stuck by us throughout the year and continuously made time for us, always making us feel like a top priority. She is extremely professional, resourceful, honest, knowledgeable and her work ethic is second to none.

I can’t say enough about Valerie.

Her professionalism is unmatched. She was truly a God sent realtor sent to me. She is caring and will work diligently to find you and your loved ones the perfect home for all your needs, Joe Gerardi

Joe Gerardi

First time meeting Marie and I could feel her enthusiasm and care as we viewed homes.

We met multiple times with multiple homes and were always greeted with the same level of enthusiasm and professionalism plus a bit of welcomed humor and helpful advice. She helped us through a long and frustrating wait for a closing date with her untiring patience and encouragement. As we congratulated each other on the final closing we were happy to have had Marie as our agent.

Gloria Affelt

Marie is an ultimate professional who protects her customer.

The customer always comes first and her insights are invaluable. After purchasing my first house 25 years ago Marie was more a friend than an agent. You can put your trust in the one who does it right.

Charles Manos (Business owner )

As first time home buyers, Lina helped find our way in the market and was very patient with us. We were looking at homes for over a year. With Lina, within a couple of months we found our home. Very knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions and show us properties. We could not recommend her more!

Anum Hassan

Jerry montagna

Joanne takes her Real Estate profession seriously.

She listed and had our property under contract at the highest bid within 2 weeks. She also provided recommendations along the way. Even though I am in a related business, I am in a different part of the state from the property location. Things are done differently, and I was a newbie to that area. Joanne made the transaction seamless, timely and quite profitable for us! Kudos to Joann Kenndy !

David Weiner (Title Insurance Agent)

Filip Bondy

Valerie was on awesome realtor & did an amazing job in every way .

I would definitely refer my friends to Valerie & her team . Thank you. Sincerely Mike Rosen

Mike Rosen

Gianvito did a fantastic job by showing my wife and I a portfolio of homes tailored to my wife’s requirements.

He then compared those with other comps in the area to ensure that we bid in the right price range. Added benefits were background information on the local schools and recommendations for home inspectors. During the process I was able to see that he is also a devoted family man. I would highly recommend him to anyone as my first choice for a seller’s or buyer’s agent.

Michael Mulvey (Attorney )

My friend and I (whom i've known for almost 40 yrs) were speaking one day about homes and investment properties.

He had emphasized about this woman Valerie Wechsler who is his mentor, his real estate agent and his trusted advisor. He had asked her to call me. She called. How happy I am that she's did. She's beeb at my side through all my many entrepreneur adventures. Valerie Wechsler: NOW my trusted real estate agent, my advisor, my mentor and proudly i say THEN, NOW and ALWAYS my friend!! I too now have bragging rights to Valerie Wechsler!! Thank you Val, You make everything more pleasurable with your patience. Your quality, and your self perseverance you perceive. It is absolutely amazing. I will not keep you a secret. I'll skip and tell everyone I know to use you just like Joey told me!! A zillion million times I thank you! Sincerely Laura Clarke

Laura Clarke

Yvonne was top notch through out our whole purchasing process and way beyond.

3 years after purchasing our home, she is still a huge help with things when you need it. Use Yvonne’s services with the utmost confidence! You will never be disappointed with her! She is amazing! A+++++++++++

Tyler rogers

I cannot recommend Gianvito Iacoviello highly enough.

He took the time to truly understand my goals and worked tirelessly to make it a reality. What impressed me most about Gianvito was his constant communication. I never felt left in the dark; He was proactive, incredibly responsive, and always ready with a thoughtful answer to my many questions. His knowledge of the local market is second to none, and his sharp negotiation skills ensured I got the best possible outcome. Buying/selling a home is a huge life event, and having Gianvito in my corner made the entire process feel manageable and even stress-free. Gianvito is professional, honest, and deeply committed to his clients. If you want an agent who will go above and beyond for you, Gianvito is the one to call.

Marlon Dominguez

Yvonne was extremely helpful throughout the whole process.

She was very knowledgeable and tailored to all my needs. I could not have been more grateful for her help through the whole home buying process. It would be a mistake to work with anybody else.

Zachary Parker

When my husband and I were being relocated to New Jersey from Connecticut, it was difficult to meet all the requirements we needed, but I saw a listing.

I called and unfortunately it was off the market, however Yvonne said I will be more than happy to help you. Let me just tell you she was a God send!!!! We only had Saturdays to come to NJ to see houses. I felt horrible because we were all over the state and Yvonne was so wonderful and always tried her best to find listing in our price rage and the parameters that we needed. When we found the house we really wanted to see, she called the agent to see if we could see it that day because we were in town. She made it happen! We settled in the house and she is more than our agent, she became a friend. She is professional, patient, kind and positive! We would recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for a house because you will have the best agent working for you! Thank you so much Yvonne!!!!!

Julie Schmitt (Director of Operations )

"I have purchased a few homes from Valerie and would recommend her to anyone. She is very on top of things and will go above and beyond. There were a few instantses I was stuck at work and she met with inspectors,contractors and so forth. Not many Realtors out there willing to go the extra mile like she has. Bravo, if I could give more stars I would!"

""My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Valerie and Mike Wechsler when we decided to sell our home and purchase a new home.. From day one, Valerie and Mike were extremely honest in assessing the true value of our home. Once our home sold Valerie and Mike went right back to work and found us our dream home. All throughout the negotiations and closing of both homes Valerie and Mike were there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. My wife and were blessed with our new home and two new wonderful friends. If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be. Thank you so much Valerie and Mike"John SerroValerie listed and sold my home"

"OK let me start off by saying Valerie definitely went above and beyond to help my wife and I throughout the whole process of selling my home and purchasing a new one. Anytime I tried to contact her she always answered the phone and if she did not she got back to me right away. We definitely got more than we expected for the sale of Our home and I do feel that we got a great deal for our new home. During the day of the move there were some complications with the moving company and some items were not allowed to be loaded onto the moving truck so Valerie’s husband Mike decided to drive all the way home to pick up his pick up truck and trailer and loaded everything plus more that was left over onto his pick up truck And personally drove to my new house and helped me unload it so when I say above and beyond I absolutely mean above and beyond. Oh and she also helped to clean my house before the final walk through was done before we left the old house. I definitely 110% would recommend Valerie to Anyone who is thinking about selling their home and/or purchasing a new one. Thank you Valerie again we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us we are so happy with our new home and We are so glad that we decided to make the move."
